My e28 has a lot of hail damage from storms several months ago... I'll just file this as part of my insurance claim :)

Imho the e28 is one of the most under rated car in BMWS line up, the chassis is one of the stiffest BMW ever made and although it's no 02 handled well and was a great hi-way car, good a/c, good ride and seats and with the 3.5 m30 plenty of power. And you can work on it with out computer aid all the problems are well documented. I sure miss mine and I'm a dedicated 02 guy.

I bought an '88 535i a few years back with only 60,000 miles on it.  It had been parked in a garage for over 12 years, undriven.  Since then, I've put over 30,000 miles on it.  It has been a love-hate relationship, but at the moment it is driving well.  I was ready to burn it to the ground last year chasing a fault in the Motronics. It was eventually solved with a new DME, but the journey was frustrating (having replaced the DME early on and it didn't solve the problem).

 

The M30 is a good engine, though I think the platform could use another 75-100hp; though I may put a 3.9 LSD in back to give it more zip around town. After that, forced induction would solve my lust for power ?

Is this a one-of-a-kind NOS chassis — akin to the two NOS ‘02 chassis’ that reportedly sparked the creation of the “new 1972 tii” back in 2005-06? Or is W&N offering a modern e28 chassis in larger quantities?

 

Regards,

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
