Well said and thank you.

This 525i is a pretty car. Bet it is fast too. Has it been repainted? Looks really nice. Not sure if the camera lighting is the reason, but in the article above it looks like the right front fender is a slightly different color. Been noticing that a lot of metallic cars. Those brakes are huge, too.

Thanks for sharing this. That's a neat motor. Looks pretty close to like it belongs in there!

I recall we did this dyno run after the car was completed and before the DME adaptation which is about 1000 KM driving process, just to see the difference in power before adaptation and after.

After 1000 KM, we tested the car on another dyno session and the final result was, 291 HP, 265 Torque at the wheel at 7500RPM.

Where's my copy of the mag bro?

Love this car.

Hey man, I had one magazine packaged for you last year when we went to Vintage, but you didn’t show up at our hotel to get it. However it is available on line if you like to order one or join us at RTT 2014 (have some real fun) and I will defiantly have one copy for you!

If you still have that copy I will for sure grab it from you this year. What hotel are you guys at this year? I wish my work schedule was tolerant for RTT.

[Jake D]

Amazing, Sia!
Been drooling over this car for a while now. I feel I'm at a point in my program where I can admit my obsession. I hope you don't mind, but I featured your car for 5erFriday!

Yes I do, I will let you know which hotel we will be at, no problem, just in process of mapping the route.

I feel you brother, but your Red E28 need moarrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Ju@n

I don't know you, but let me congratulate you!
Extremely stock looking engine in that gorgeous e28.
So far one of the best e28 i've seen!

Greatly appreciated.

[dsmith]

Sia, the best thing about you building that car is the way you drive it! It is stunningly perfect in person. I recommend it makes a trip to the TOTD.

[B7Turbo]

Friend sent me these pics that he took last summer from two different gathering, I did like them so I thought I share them with you!

[wkohler]

Do your rear tires rub?

[B7Turbo]

Do your rear tires rub?

None what so ever, still have 2 mm space!

[jodystevens]

So perfect. Perfect colour, perfect wheels, perfect stance, just pure perfect.

[leadphut]

anyone in the "know" would look at the foot of rubber on the back rims and the 525i badge and just laugh.

[silvertige]

I never get sick of seeing pictures of your car. Beautiful. Keep 'em coming...

[B7Turbo]

During last year driving My e28 S54 after going to three long trips with many twisties, I found that my suspension although is all beefed up but still in a soft side, so I decided to replace them with the BC racing coilovers, which I heard from many members here and other forums that is a great up grade and gives you a super handling.



looking forward to warm weather!!!

[wkohler]

I'm surprised you wouldn't have gone with maybe a higher quality coilover. Hope they offer the supper handling you are after.

[jodystevens]

...is a great up grade and gives you a supper handling.

I am interested in supper handling. Sounds delicious.

[B7Turbo]

Unfortunately BC Racing is the only one who makes coilovers for e28 in complete package and also I’m always open to suggestion if you have anything in your mind that I may have missed.

Hahahahahahahha, I have tried many set up in the past and this is what I understand from my past experience.

Normal cushion like handling = original factory set up
Firm but still soft = factory sport set up
Firm and responsive = after market shucks and springs
Firm, sharp and super handling = Coilovers

[wkohler]

Ground Control, GAZ, to name a few. Really all you need are the spring perches some good non-Chinese springs and a set of adjustable shocks.

I am just curious; have you driven a car with BC coilovers? I have driven an e39 M5, MZ3 and an e36 M3 with the BC set up and I can say that it is a great set up, regardless of the origin. With all seriousness, you should try.

I came a cross these pictures and I find them very interesting!

Man, I'd love to find a super-super-high-resolution version of this. Something that would natively fill my 2560x1600 screen.

a-ma-za-ziiiiing!

[astupidname]

Sweet jesus. That thing is flawless. And those brakes are huge. I'm jealous.

Cool thanks, and I love them too, they have excellent stoping power when is required.

Shit, for anything bigger than the current set-up you would have to consider the brakes on the Toronto commuter (GO Train).

Hahahahah, very close Mark, These WP pro guys were awesome, since originally they didn’t have any big brakes system for e28, my friend and their chief engineer had to develop one for my e28 that would fit on the car like a glove, so as result they were able to add e28 big brake system in to their catalog.

Wow, awesome creation! BMW of old and new in perfect harmony.

[B7Turbo]

Hi Friend,

I am happy to share my experience with new BC coilovers since I replaced the existing sport suspension from beginning of spring and after driving it through spring and summer and adjusting it to my liking and ultimately driving it at RTT 2014, I only can say wow, it is a night and day in comparison with normal sport suspension. I am so please that I wouldn't want to stop driving this damn thing!!! now I can say that I am happy with the whole car in terms of engine power, stopping power, handling and over all stance. I am done and happy with the result!

[KillerPM]

Just chiming in,

I drove the car on the BC racing setup and it was nice. Cant say I have driven one with a GC setup so I cant compare. It didn't seem too harsh but the roads I drove it on were ok (interstate) and I didn't really run mega twisty roads in the setup.

[1st 5er]

It was fun for that short stretch of twisty road,
even though I was no where near it's outer limits.
Thanks Sia for that opportunity.
And as usual, it was a blast chasing it, this time through the Ozarks.

[bkbimmer]

One more for the ego... Gorgeous chariot sir, this is going to sound silly but my favorite part of the car is the 525i grill badge. I like little things that throw people off course. Its like when you see a really hot chick and she turns out to be a dude

[B7Turbo]

Thanks Peter (KillerPm) for chiming in, good review!
Anytime Sherman (1st 5er), it was really nice seeing you having fun and thank you! see you at next RTT!
bkbimmer, thank you for your kind comment, No ego here, its all about fun, and thank you for your analogy, made me laugh!!!

[tig]

I do love blue cars. This is one of the best looking E28s on the planet, me thinks.
