Turbines FTW! With or without center caps, it's all good

Whole car looks great

no words.. respect bro.

washed and waxed





Shortly after that we broke the drive axle

One of my all-time favorite cars. Good work!

Lovin the Turbines...........coming back into fashion for the first time.

They are VERY expensive covers and every E28 track car should be killing for a set.

Got a coilover set, so lowered a bit:

I might need to get those style 19's from you!

Great looking car! Am I alone in thinking the turbine covers make it look like it's got whitewall tires? I'm more of a fan of the naked look with the M-system wheels (but then again, I can't say I've seen a car with these wheels in person, only in tiny little pics on a computer screen.)

Kinda part of the sleeper idea. Looks like a set of 15" wheels with whitewalls.

Little history, and some future plans.

when i bought her in 2009:





For the summer of '09 she got some bigger wheels:


The doors were extremely rusted, and there were a little work to done on the bodyframe, so we changed the doors for perfect ones, and made the bodywork. In 2010 i used the car in this shape:




I did not like this look, but i had no money for the paintjob

Later i bought an Alpina front spoiler and yellowed the high beams and the foglights:



In 2011 she got a new paintwork, lowering springs(40mm drop in the front, and 30 in the rear), and shadowline.





After that i bought a set of M-system wheels with two complete sets of covers(turbine and throwing star). It was a lucky business because i bought them on a very low price.











And for 2012:

Some more drop with coilovers, and m5 front and rear spoilers. The turbines will stay, i wanna paint them from silver to something new.

Not really a fan of the turbine covers. But the car and color looked amazing on style 19's and m-systems.

Great project though! Keep on doing what you're doing!

Those M-Systems are fucking sex. Naked, with Turbines or with Throwing Stars, I love them!

One of my all time favorite E28s. Good work.

May I suggest white for the turbines. I think it would look very good.

I was with ya until you lowered it on page 4. Great looking car otherwise; regardless of which wheels you're running.

You need the plates 'dagreenrocket'..

Took some photos:

I like your stock spoiler better than the Alpina one.

I really like the color of that green

I made the choice about the wheel colour, it will be like the mixture of this :



And this:



Matte dark brown copper gold or what

I'm totaly with you on your choises... only thing is that i believe that chrome tailights would look better with that color...

Personally i prefer the shadowline trim, and i have chromed taillights somewhere in the workshop, but i think it wont be good with the rest of the trim is black.

And i think i found the best colour for the rims, it is the Desmond regamasters matte bronze finish. I hope my paintshop could mix something like this.

looks gangster...and i mean that in a good way, for some reason a clean lowered e28 reminds me of a mafia car. BTW that color looks really clean great decision

I like! I look forward to finished pics.

So i did not post anything about the car recently, because it's rolled well, without any problem. Except one, my engine issmoking blue when i accelerate after engine braking, so it could be a valve seal problem. I think the piston rings are in good condition, because i measured the compression, and it was like 13.5 BAR in the first five cylinders, and 12.8 in the sixth.

Anyway, a friend of mine is always wanted to buy my engine, we made a deal, we will replace his engine with this after some repair.

And for me, i bought a freshly assembled M30B35. It was a M30B30 from a really early E32, so the holes for the motor mounts are good for the shark motor mounts. The engine is bored to the high compression M535i pistons, M535 head with double spring valves, the lightest flywheel, lucas injectors, conny chip optimized for the higher compression, and everything is in the best shape.









At the same time the car is getting a LSD with the ratio of 3.64(now it's 3.91), and a e34 brake upgrade for the rear, and E32 750i 324mm brakes for the front.

The car looks great but i would've left all the trim chorme. But chrome trim is one of the reason i love older cars so im pretty biased.


The green looks great.

I really like the way the car turned out, and really dig the turbine covers!

Nice work!

Nice comeback.

Looks fantastic with M system I wheels !
