Old BMW things

The E28 belongs to my friend, it's a 5 speed 535i with a Dinan chip, no bumpers, a few coils cut out, billy HDs, and an LSD. Oh and full stainless exhaust with just a resonator and a glass pack. It sounds absolutely epic, and is a total blast to drive, one of my favourite cars for sure.

I finally got around to ridding my E21 of the metal thing on the front that looks like it belongs on a much larger vehicle. So it looks like this now. I love it

It needs cleaned up, and I'm going to attach the rub strip of the bumper onto the front to cover those holes, and make cops want to pull me over less. But I'm really happy already, It's like an 80s 2002 or something

I found some interesting things to park with the other day

A pretty beat looking AE86, but more interestingly, a Lancia Beta 2000

And it was really clean, seriously. If you're still reading, tonight my friend with the E28 and I went to look at another E21, because that's what we do. He's only asking $1500, and it's in surprisingly good shape

Safari beige, which is rare. and a 5 speed, which is also rare, like mine

I want it, but it needs work and I haven't even sold the car I need to sell yet...and I don't really need two E21s....

Bonus badass E28 pictures

So yeah. That's the three guys with too many old BMWs update

Neat :) a Beta Coupe!

Props for ridding yourself of the US-spec diving boards. Find out how much they weigh and keep a track of how much weight you've lost :)

Good to get rid of the US bumpers but having none at all doesn't look good to me.

Needs a bit of tidying around the bumper mounting holes. Little plates welding over them or something, and then it'd look great :)

You can never have too many E21's... For 1500 bucks, it'd make an awesome parts donor if nothing else!

Nice to see some E21 action on oppo. I am also in the midst of some E21 things. I have an '83 320i 5spd in the garage. I'm currently stripping it down to do some rust repair. At the moment figuring out how I'm going to cut up my brand new rear tail panel so that it fits the euro bumpers that I bought. Fun times.

Thanks! haha it's probably only like 20lbs. but it's something, I'll feel it more if I sort out the suspension....

It's not finished yet, I still have to attach the rub strip from the bumper so it'll look like this:

Not perfect, but a hell of a lot cheaper than euro bumpers

Cool! I'm jealous, I want an LSD and rear sway haha

Where'd you get the euro bumpers from?

If I didn't already have three vehicles I'd jump on it.....I need to downsize because I'm about to move and lose some parking space

Some construction guys painted it there and now I always park beside it

I almost got 2 when I had money. Then, shit hit the fan and I'm broke. Now, I owe my school $1,700.

Bought them on ebay from some dude in Australia.

Last night I was sitting in the trunk grinding off seam sealer to get at the spot welds for the rear tail panel section. Body work fucking sucks lol.
