Looking good. I have never seen that color on an E28 before. I think it looks really good.

The only thing that I would say is the to remove those badges. If it is not an M5 then it should not get the badges. That's just what I think.

welcome and make sure to search first as the wealth of knowledge here is great.

Estoril Blue looks pretty nice on the e28!

Good luck tracking down the previous owners. This would be a great place to start!!

Nice color and I love those wheels, but I agree with misha, remove the ///M badges if it is not one, it is sort of "ricey" if you ask me.

yeah, i like the fact the po went as far as getting a m gauge cluster (that isnt reading properly!) but im starting to think about going back to no badges,,, it is funny how many people want to race you just because you drive what looks like a modded M5! :-) it is a quick car with the i head, intake, exhaust, 325is tranny and 4.10 gears so im beating people off the line but not winning top speed records.

RIP- 60s mustang fastback, jocked out dude in a lifted diesel f250, lowered acura integra with amber lights :-), e30 325i..... the list goes on and on...

maybe i will see you on the street sometime, and i will race you... and i will beat you.... HAHAHAHA..... J/K... now thats getting rice points... i live my life 1/4 mile at a time... hahaha...

You should have seen my friends face when I passed him right after he got his new G35, I thought it was funny.

as a po of a turbo 300zx i can tell you that those are fast cars, but there more of a 140mph cruiser not a 0-60 machine. i would much rather have the torque of a m20 or m30 anyday!
