I have a one-owner, low-mileage, Euro-spec 1983 BMW e28 520i. All original with no modifications other than the wheels and tires. It's been fully restored where needed. I love it and drive it daily. I always wanted an e28, and was very lucky to find one that was treated well and stored indoors in a warm climate with no snow or salt. Glad to see you guys feature one on your channel.

Great project. May I suggest limiting the modifications to the unseen parts (brake discs, suspensions...) and keep the original steering wheel and seats (reupholstered). Please avoid the short shifter. The pleasure of driving those 70s and 80s BMWs is found (not only) in the long throw of the gear lever.

@hardcorepooka104 6 жыл бұрын

Why wouldn't you just fix the rust free hood? From what I can see it wouldn't be too terribly difficult and you'd have an all around better quality hood... Edited to add, I've done body work for about 10 years, so I do actually know what I'm talking about. It might not be cheaper to fix the damaged hood, but it wouldn't be full of rust.

It's got a kink in a few spots that would require a lot more work then cleaning up and painting the rusty one.

You are lucky PT, yours has a manual trans ! Judging by the look your winter tyres are 205 width ? I'm running 225/50 with the same rims, it looks so great, but now I can only feel how bad are the rubber bushings and arms etc :D. Here in France it still possible to find bumpers and they are not too expensive, but some parts are getting rare to find indeed. Anyway good to see that you are looking after this e28 ;)

@speedacademy 6 жыл бұрын

Was thinking Ill got to 225s the next time on winter tires because yes they are 205s so a bit skinny. The car drives like new with the new arms, very worth spending the money! And you are lucky, I would be buying up every euro bumper I could find. Especially a rear one haha

@frozenpete788 6 жыл бұрын

That is the next task on mine to change all the bushings under. You probably already know that but if you go on a 225 tire, get ones without the extra lip to protect the rims otherwise it will rub the struts on the front, I've got Michelin and I can't even slide a finger between the back of the tire and the strut. On the rear it doesn't really matter, but if you go on coilovers it might need the fender lip to be rolled a bit. On the other hand the extra lip on the back gives a bulkier look (depending on the tire maybe). Here is mine if you wanna take a look ;) scontent-cdt1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/30073500_10155246706586319_8254720263716234383_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=e93c59c1bbdc7f3c33e81b0c7088759c&oe=5BFAE9ED

Ehh, I suppose you guys probably know what you're talking about, but don't confuse warping discs for improper bedding on your brake pads. I had a Volvo S60R and I don't know how many people complained about "warped discs" on them on the forums when there was a bed-in process on the pads and literally no one followed it. I did the bedding process and... tada, everything was fine!

@speedacademy 6 жыл бұрын

This was not a bed in issue. It's an undersized brake and rotor issue. Well documented but I can see what you're saying so will ensure to see if there's a bed-in process.

I had a 533i e28 and I can attest to the fact that the rotors do warp very easily. I replaced mine once, and just lived with it when they warped again.
