As some of you may know I recently bought a 1986 525e Euro e28, and this weekend I went up and spent some quality time on it with my good friend Mike (SpasticDwarf). I had a Z4 3.0i for a while, and decided to change it up a bit, and get into something I could throw some cash at. I am immensely happy with how it turned out, and will let the pictures speak for themselves. A big thanks has to go out to Mike for the help this weekend, and sticking with me in the heat. A thanks has to go out Shawn D as well for helping me out with emissions, wouldn't be driving around without him. It is still a work in progress but it has some big plans in store for it in the future so stay tuned!
For those of you who are interested Mike did a writeup about it on Stanceworks which you can check out here http://www.stanceworks.com/?p=9115
The wheels are 17x9 et6 and 17x10 et17, and it is currently just on a spring/shock setup. I will be getting something new in that department in the future. As far as the interior, that is actually a typo. Just did some research, someone had said to me that the Taurus Red was Euro only, looks like I was way wrong there. Still new to e28's

oh ok, i thought for a second that i'll never be able to fix the driver/passenger seats in my m535i. i LOVE the width and offset. I was hoping to try some wheels like that... must've been expensive. there were rubbing issues when you turn the wheels?
Photos are excellent, but that rear camber makes it look like Bambi trying to stand up on the ice...Too 'leaux' for moi.
The rest of the car looks terrific though.
The car looks great and I like the how the raised portions of the spokes are brushed. I just can't get over how the rear wheels look broken. Since the OP says the current suspension is temporary, maybe this issue will be addressed. That would make it perfect.
