If any of you guys come across a nice example in VA, DC, MD, heck, even eastern PA......let me know, will ya?

You guys know your E28's, so your help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you know the E28 ran 'til '88 in the US?

Yeah.....and '88 would be fine as well.

I've just been looking at a lot of '87's, I guess.

Just wanted to renew this thread.

I'm still looking for "THE" car.

I've looked at quite a few in detail online, and one in-person.

Once again, here's basically what I'm looking for:

'84-'88 535i or 535iS
In VA, DC, MD, PA, NJ, NC......or almost ANYWHERE!

I would consider shipping it quite a ways if it were "THE" car.

Thanks again, guys.

Let me know if you have any leads.

What sort of shape/ condition are you looking for?

Patrick McHugh wrote:What sort of shape/ condition are you looking for?

Well, I'm not looking for a project car.

I'm looking for one in very good to excellent condition.

I prefer 5-speed.

100k-225k miles is my acceptable range.

Ah! i just realized you're the same guy who posted on the Richmond forum. Did you ever go look at that blue one? It looked decent.

Yeah.....went to see / drive it.

Nice car...good condition.

Still fitted with the the metrics ($$$ to replace).

It was an automatic (not a deal breaker for the right car)

And he wanted what I felt was a bit too much.

I'd love to make a purchase before Christmas!!!

Metrics aren't a big deal to replace. Plus, it's cool to get the original wheels with a car. You can get wheels and tires for about $500, and the car will look better too.

When you say you can get wheels and tires for $500, where might that be? Seems awfully inexpensive.

Wheels with tires come up on the board all the time. In fact, I have two sets myself I wouldn't mind selling. It's like they follow me home like an injured dog.

Any photos of these two sets?

I'll PM you a couple of pictures either late this evening or tomorrow.

Good to know, Skip.

I'm still looking for the car, though.

I've crossed the one I looked at last week with the metrics off my list.

I REALLY prefer a 5-speed.

Yeah......I saw both of those already.

Something fishy about the one in Richmond. He's had "more photos & info coming soon" for over three days now, and I've emailed him TWICE to ask him what's up. No response.

Something not legit there.

I have one of the nicest e28's you'll ever see for sale. Located in Northern Virginia.

You may need to travel out a bit further to find the right car... don't limit yourself to a few states. Perhaps the whole east coast would offer more choices, etc., and certainly give you a better chance of finding want you are looking for... but, you never know you could get lucky locally. Good luck.

You're absolutely right.

And I have been looking nationwide over the past week.

COME ON, PEOPLE!

I have a wad of cash burning a hole in my pocket! If you have the right car, you have a sale!

I understand your frustration. I looked for 5-6 months before I found a suitable car. I had money ready to go. There were a couple I should have jumped on, but didn't. Lots of crappy cars came up for sale. The car I found was never advertised, rather I heard about it through a comment made by the owner at a get-together. Be patient and really consider the cars you look at. Good luck!

I'm trying to be as patient as possible, but my situation is a little different than most.

I sold my Dodge Ram a little while back, and I have been getting around on my Yamaha R1 motorcycle. Well, the cold weather has really made me kick my car search into high gear.

Much more of riding @ 45-65 mph speeds in 25-degree air, and I'm going to be a 225-pound popsicle.



I NEED YOU GUYS' HELP TO FIND MY CAR

I might die of hypothermia soon without it!

hey, i may sell you mine if interested.
86 535i
5spd
around 220k
fresh head just put on
schrick 282
dinan chip
z3m shifter
m5 cat back
it's a nice car, runs great, but like all older cars needs work. the original seats were taken out and were replaced with some kinda recaro sport seat... not bmw. paint is in good condition, but does have it's fair share of dings; once again... common. to be perfect it would need dings fixed, dash, shift boot and seats. other than that it's great!!





oh, the front bumper was pulled off to shadow line and clean up the surrounds and will back on shortly. $3k firm
