I love the tucked rear look. For me, when I lowered mine after the coilovers were in, the view from the rear gets me every time now. I think the E28 is one of those cars that takes the cake with the "squat" look, especially in person. It's definitely different, but I was sold on it after driving behind Burrough's rusty at fixxfest. These cars are gorgeous no matter how high or low I think.

looks clean, smooth, and "in your face" LOW.

it does make me want to go "spoiler-less" on the trunk...always liked that...

I give the rear tires 5k miles before cords are showing on the inside shoulder...

Chances are that you'll mash the oil pan before that ever happens though, so look on the bright side!

Very nice! I am steeling your peectures, senior.

Clean car, nice pics.

Any interior pics?

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Shawn,

It is back up on Suspension Techniques and Style 5's with no stretch for the time being, so you can like it for a little while longer while I work on the next set of wheels

I like it as well. The pictures exaggerate it a bit, it looks more "normal" in person sitting that way. Love the way they look that low when driving behind it.

No.

Kept forgetting to get/post interior pictures so here are a couple from the previous owner. It is in great shape except for the driver seat which needs to be recovered and a glovebox is installed now





And one of the Analog Clock and Euro OBC

mine will never be anywhere close to that pretty

Stunned when I saw it on Stanceworks, and still am...far and away my favorite E28, or even BMW, ever. Pictures are perfect, and car is disgustingly beautiful...love it, and keep up the good work. Hopefully mine will be there someday.

def the favorite car i've seen, what spring and shock combo are you running? are they cut? i'd love to go that low too!!

No rev counter then?

The car is BITCHING by the way

Nope, no rev counter

It is on a modified spring/shock setup in this shoot, if you want to go this low I would recommend a Ground Control Setup. Give them a call, you will want stiffer rates and revalved shocks. The ride was livable, but not ideal

Sick. That is the only word I can think of right now to describe the awesomeness of this car.

Suuuuuweeeeeet!!!!111

nice but with the car so low what does it ride like also what about rear tire wear with he tires and such a extreme angle ?

I vote for a "Don't worry about it" kind of thinking, when the car looks that sick. Worth it to go with whatever downsides haha.

That is ridiculous.

Yeah.

Car rides normal unless hitting a big bump/dip then is harsher. Tires will wear out quicker to a point, but still will last 10,000+ miles aligning it the best you can

It is something you have to consider going in and definitely not for everybody, but it is what makes the car "right" IMO. Is not meant to perform ideally, but it looks sure looks good.

You know logic is not allowed here Chris.

why even come in here to write such a comment that carries this little of weight?

the car is as beautiful as the photography, so why discriminate.

I'll explain it to you:
the wheels are uber rare & in very aggressive fitment.
the wheels are mostly period correct 3pc. set.
the paint is stock & dead on!
the bumpers & rare interior are STOCK! so sweet.
the headlight assemblies as well are stock & aggressive.
nothing has been ruined or improperly touched.
the car doesn't rub or need to avoid majority of streets.
the uniqueness matches the rarity as far as E28's go.

just thought I'd teach ya a bit

these comments never make sense

& to a person that chooses to take his time driving & evaluating road conditions,

IT IS WORTH IT.

everyone, I mean everyone agrees that a lowered car looks better. car companies, race teams, even hot rods all lower their cars for photoshoots . . . some choose to keep their car looking photo fresh 365 a year.

just because you can't handle the drive doesn't mean this is true for all.

I know this post probably seems harsh; maybe I am sorry for this.

regardless, it's his drive, so my thought would be that it's not for you to worry about.

it's funny to read on how you are 'theory driving' his car as what will break/ wear through & when & all that jazz.

tell me more!

When did you become the Designated Apologist for the OP? With help like yours, I'd rather be on my own. FWIW, Kyle is right. There's no way in hell those rears will see 10k miles.

I just wanted to point out that, in spite of any color shift from the photos, I'd be willing to bet that is a Cardinal interior out of a US spec 535is. The sport seats certainly are. Taurusrot is darker, IIRC.

Well said, this is why I like it. Nice job.

Get this, the car had all of that except for the "uber rare" wheels with "aggressive fitment" before this guy bought it. The car has been ruined with the "uber rare" wheels with "aggressive fitment." Looks like all you taught me was that is guy is ruining a perfectly-good car with rare parts. The car looks disabled. Even more so knowing it's a 525e. My 535is is low, but I can still get over a speed bump without having to look like a choad.

I respect the fact that these people want to do something with their cars, but I really cannot stand their superiority complex.

You don't have to teach me anything about stupidity, btw. I've got that down.

I tried to be nice earlier. Look what you made me do now.

^^^I haven't heard someone use choad for a long time^^^^

That made my day... so thank you!

The wheels on my car do not need to be an "aggressive fitment," with over 400 ft/lbs of torque available at the rear wheels the engine does just fine at supplying that look!
