As above, there is one for sale local to me and im wondering if its worth a go.

Im struggling to find anything about them online and tbh i have never even heard of them let alone seen one but i like the look of it.

how are they for rust, reliability/parts availability and are they fast at all?

i prosume the handling will be shit and i cant seem to find any info on how to improve this online either.

thanks

they are fairly quick , 210-220 bhp iirc,handling is good tail out type of stuff, v good fun, good parts availability,rust in usual places for a bm of this age i.e scuttle panel , jacking points etc,great cars.

e28 is 218bhp iirc. lots of potential for upgading handling, braking etc. it looks good and i wouldnt mind one myself.

Good old bus, reliable, suppose as long as its got no HGF symptoms, and worn bushes should be ok, should be used and kept as a collectable because i doubt it will hold up as an every day smoker, they are afterall an old bmw and bits arnt as easy to come by. My dad had a E28 525e years ago, it broke down with a knackard waterpump, parked up in a layby, came back an hour later with a tow and was never seen again.

you prosume wrong on the handling,mate had a 12 valve model and it handled great.

manual or auto ?
if its manual it should have the dogleg 1st , factory lsd and perfect 50 50 weight distribution . its big brother ( e28 m5) is still classed as one of the best drivers cars ever produced .
if its an auto make sure you check the box properly as there are a couple of issuses that crop up .
ive been looking for another one for a while now to use as a drift/track car i fuckin love em

oh i forgot to add , check behind the rear bumpers for rust as its usually were its at its worst and will give you a good idea to the condition of the rest of it

rust is the last thing i need to contend with atm though so im not sure

It's Czech Mate

be better off with an E36 M3 (either 3.0 or evo) both better, and more refined cars

brad

agree with indy on that if its for an everyday car . although they would probably be more expensive .

lozi

Does anyone remember the old Alpina version ( E28 ) that used to be at Combe often on the RSOC days in July - think it was a guy local to the track that had it from memory.
It was pretty well sorted and it was based on an M535i. It was a dark colour, black or dark blue.

Haven't seen it for a few years?

RS220Turbo

Ive got a M535i and there deffo not a every day car, even tho petrol is cheap at the mo, it still gets abit expensive, anything else you wana know just ask mate
