The bronzit bitch

[Stef]

Sup!

Been on here a while, been a while since i had my own car as such, what with moving to sydney, getting company cars etc. I recently placed an order on a Golf R near on a month ago and have a little while to wait, so in the meantime I bought this.

1985 E28 528i

Has all the creature comforts (ie leather interior, power windows/mirrors, trip computer etc) that a current model car has, and its in pretty good nick. The plan is;

M50/5 speed manual conversion into her, with the intention of FI
some decent coilovers, get it stanced
E34 brakes (current ones are shithouse)
Mtech kit (if i can find one)
respray or a vinyl wrap in black
BBS mesh wheels of some sort, with some crazy offset.

This euro stuff is a bit of a new thing for me, any of you BMW fiends know any decent BMW sites or places i can find some gear?

Cheers,

Stef.

Few whingers in here!

Very nice bimmer mate, i was only looking at these the other day on Carsales, great features for the age. I would love an old Alfa 90 to do similar things to your plans above.

Nice taste btw! I want a Golf GTI or R, that will be nice!

Angle shots FTL. +1 for hurt head.

[adrenalin]

looks to be in good nick.

Fuck M50. Not worth it for that car.

Go the S38 so S50 ( both motors are quite reasonable now )

<3 the old school bimmer.. they just looks so good!

[TJ]

ls1 and 6 speed.

I had dreams of doing it to an E34 but I dont have the budget.

This also stirs my loins

the only reason why i was thinking M50 is because one of the boys at work has an e30 which is getting an sr20 in it, and i could get the 50 for decent price, rebuild to turbo spec and go for it.

Initially I wanted an E30, but this was just too good a deal to say no.

this conversion has been done by a few e28/e30 owners in the US, didnt want to go down this track. some coconut did mention getting an e60 m5 motor for it, would be interesting but i dont have 7g + shipping to spend on a motor!

if there were more funds i would have gone the e39 5 series... decent looking rig!

[adrenalin]

M50's are very cheap now but cost alot of money to get them to move ( trust me )

Go for something that is quick out of the box already and add bits to it later.

S50B30 would be my choice if you can find one.

[Stef]

will look into it, thanks muchly!

[Stef]

ps tj dont suppose you have any more pics of that e39 do you?

[Stef]

better pics up
