What's all the hubbub bub? I see this is newest work of art stirring up a little wheel controversy. I can dig it. How's the ride? With that low of a profile tyre, I hope potholes aren't a major issue in your part of town.

Ewww. They looked like crap on his car and aren't doing your car any favors. I just don't like 19" wheels on these cars. Nothing personal. Nice car, otherwise.

:shock:
Holy ish!
Incredible!
I love it....

I know the 19s are taboo, but I've been contemplating it for a few years and I think I'm going to pull the trigger soon.
19s, euro's and some paint is all I need.
I was thinking 19" CHs, LMs or CSLs.

LMs, the other two are too modern.

the new one isn't so eye attractive like black :) colour is not my favorite, but it'll be ok :)

>>>fox>>> your e28 is almost perfect, only the wheels.... I'd change them into hartges, alpinas, acs's or smth like that, original silver colour (that's only my opinion ;) )

The potential is definitely there! I'm anxious to see how it will turn out in the end, your last one definitely did not disappoint. :up:



As for mine, I'm trying to get Mike to let me mount these for the winter (Florida vs. Chicago):

Keep us posted on your modding!

I'm running bilstein sports with h&r sport springs cut down. The shop is trying to convince me to try a bagged setup, and I'm liking the adjustability it has when you need it, I live around a lot of speed bumps, otherwise I'm going to go for a ground control coilover setup down the road. Right now, my setup is at a really practical height, I'm clearing speed bumps or slightly scraping at most. But if I can get the HRE's on there it's going to be dropped some more. :D

aaaaaa :)

it's really slow :) if you think it's a rocket - you are wrong :)
You know, the main thing is a good condition body (i think), if the engine has problems, you can fix it, but if the body has a lot of rust you can also fix it but after 1 or 2 years the rust will appear again. Engine you can change into v8, v10, v12 :)

But when the car is very low its better when engine has less power, because you cannot go agressive, you just ride like other cars and save rims from bending and so on :D

i see. it will be my first car so i wont know what is fast and what is slow. do you know of any mods you can make to the engine to squeeze anymore hourses out of it? like a 528i throttle body? or bigger injectors?

i dont't know how's in Schotland, but in my country (Lithuania) it's cheaper to change into bigger engine than do engine mods. So i think if you want your e28 to be fast, you should change engine or install turbo :)

true. but a 520i is the biggest engine i can insure. i might go for a fast road cam or gas flowed maifold. a turbo will be alot of money and noticible come mot time.
