BMW E28 Build Transformation (1 year Progress) in 8 Minutes 

Thank you I appreciate it

I have a lot of them

@@inadykto I'll take a set off your hands if you're willing to ship ;)

@@sparkeyjones6261 it depends. +79036625240 what's app

Also a new exhaust as the one coming out of the back looks like *hit

@@inadykto hello if you still have a set front and rear I'll take them shipped 06492, ct

I really appreciate budget build so did the best I could with the resources I had.

Who doesn't?

Peugeot drivers😂

Dumme Amerikaner wissen nicht, wie man Autos restauriert.

@@R3RS2024 Naja restaurieren kann man dies eher nicht nennen

Alter diese ekelhaften felgen sind der grösste schrott

die Frontlippe kommt wegen der hässlichen US-Bumper gar nicht zur Geltung und was das Rumgehühnere mit diesen Felgen soll, hat sich mir auch nicht erschlossen. Tieferlegen durch kürzen der Originalfedern, kann man machen, sollte man aber nicht, dann lieber kurze Federn aus dem Zubehör....

@@R3RS2024 Der hat doch gesagt dass der macht dieses Arbeit mit wenig Geld. Eine Concourse costet viel Geld. And we may not know how to restore cars, but we for sure can win wars. Dumbass.

I know! Lol after I painted them I definitely regretted it. Looking for some decent style 5s and uk bumpers is something I’ll do in the future, they’re pretty pricey. Thank you again for the support

Put back the original BBS wheels man !!

Yammie UK agreed. Slapped lipstick on a pig. Ive been wanting an e28 for decades. But would treat it with much more respect and care than that. Whew!

Gary Byler exactly that. What scares me is the amount of people applauding his work😱

Keep pushing fam!

I appreciate you! Thank you

aceysaid10percent thanks bro

Joe Bee lmao I know right sheesh I appreciate all feedback, as a side project I didn’t want to dump a ton of money into it.

@@SwangBangCo you did fantastic with that build on the cheap but looks professional. ..keep these old bmw alive! My favorites e34 e30 .

Lol

To each their own, personally I love the diving boards, especially when painted black to match the trim.

It’s definitely grown on me, I’ve tried to find some decently priced euro bumpers but every one selling in my area have them priced way too high.

The bumpers are so cool! Kind of ALPINA trim, my choice also

how many units arrived or how many were manufactured? 

There never was a 533i in Europe.

That’s awesome brother Early Congrats! It’s such an amazing car and so practical. Good luck on your build hopefully if time and space permit I can get my e28 back on the road

@@SwangBangCo what’s up with it right now ?

Mark, leave the springs and ride characteristics alone and see how you like it. E28's are at or near their best left stock. A lot of the renowned E28 ride characteristic is derived from the higher sidewall height of original spec tires. Those sidewalls are part of the suspension. If you absolutely need to go to a bigger wheel size, try a 16" rim with 60 series rubber. It looks a lot better than the stock 15's and really fills the wells without rubbing, but you won't lose too much of the original ride characteristic. One of the nice things about the E28 in standard configuration is the excellent ground clearance for a touring/sport sedan. I like my E28's exhaust system and air dam right where they are, attached to the car, not peeled off on a curb cut. I don't get flats either. I run 16's in summer and studded mud and snow 15's in winter in a rugged environment. Ireland Engineering made a great SS aftermarket exhaust, not too loud, a nice, noble rumble that turns a head now and then. My system must be 15 years old and still sounds and looks as if new. Not sure if the system is still available. Enjoy your 528. I have loved my '87 535is since 1999. My next upgrade will be Bilstein B-6's all around and fresh OEM springs in the rear, along with a refresh of the front bushings and center link, maybe the idler arm and tie rod ends while we are in there. The car is old, but all that stuff is still cheaper than car payments and new car insurance.

After owning the car for almost 2 months I totally agree with what your saying. I’m probably not going to do much with the considering it’s got over 200k miles and the body would need a lot of work before I started even doing anything else. The car handles bumps great and the feel through the wheel is great already. I also live on a dirt road that gets ruts and lots of mud in the spring so lowering my car would make it nearly impossible to get through it.

@@markwerner7297 Sounds like you know what mud season is all about. Low riders need not apply in this vicinity, and the ubiquitous razor sharp granite curbing around here is not kind to low profile wheel and tire setups. Front and rear bushings are consumables on the E28's. Keep an eye on them. If your steering wheel shakes under heavy braking, the bushings are probably overdue. They aren't cheap, but they aren't crazy expensive either, kind of like a brake job. I am on my third set in 21 years. I have an E34 3.5 liter engine stuffed in my E28, along with a outsourced short shift manual tranny. It's a nice, modest upgrade. It required some motor mount mods and one has to use the original fuel management for clearance purposes under the bonnet. Good to know, if you get that far with yours. My dashboard "blew up" years ago. How about yours? The dash was a mess in 1999, when I bought the rig for $3500. I got a dash cover from Bavarian Autosport long ago. I hate looking under the cover. It's so sad under there. My E28 has always had to live out under the sun and stars, no garage. The sun is cruel. The car is beater chique. I could use to replace every last door and side glass seal. The wind noise is getting ridiculous.

RA Melloh my cars almost completely stock except for some Hella halogen lights and a aftermarket radio. Paints seen way better days and more the wind noise is pretty bad in my car as well. Dash is pretty good but it is cracked in a few places, but it is kept in a garage now, but before the car was always kept outside as far as I’m concerned

Nice I really like e12s and e21s it’s no where near where I envision it always work to be done

@@SwangBangCo what things do you wanna do? I want to put the 2 liter 6 cilinder in mine with some coilovers and bigger brakes.

@@luisitobardajibenitez8013 why would you want a 2 li my e12 came with a 3.0 6 m30

@@samlamp7343 I've since decided on a 3.5 m30

@@luisitobardajibenitez8013 oh noice

Mohamed Ismail yessir

What are the odds it’s a random combo but they’re actually amazing cars

For those who need a translation reading this comment I had to use google translate but TheCorresh said according to Google That was the worst restoration ever seen feathers cut off, painting in a garage that's not the dare the tuv in Germany had immediately pulled out of the traffic. shame about dan bmw danke für das feedback und die ansicht hoffentlich kommen diese videos immer noch auf 100.000 ansichten

Skibum Wannabe I literally laughed out loud when I read this lol

Maguslloret Munoz thank you

Yeah, I agree euro bumpers are definitely something i want to invest in. Currently working on finding a daily so I can Park the e28 and start tearing it down and redoing the Suspenion

Cable Ties Fix Everything thank you sir

Domen Stirn thank you

Springs And Wheels thank you

Thanks man I appreciate it! E28s are the best bro

@@SwangBangCo Any new updates on your e28? I just put mine on air this weekend. www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=148130

ID Webb yes that’s exactly what I did I posted a short video about it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-smZYZhOaOxk.html

It was a knock off tbh lol

Man I really appreciate the support, I’ll make that my next video I put up! I highly recommend you take on an E28, it was a different project car for me to take on so it was quite the learning experience but well worth it. I daily this car to work 70 miles a day and it a blast to drive and I’ll get at least 2-3 thumbs ups a week.

@@SwangBangCo appreciate your reply on my comment! I'll be waiting on your next Video bro! Can't go wrong with old Bimmer if you take care of them well 👍

I have BavAuto springs now thanks for the view

Man it’s a 6 foot paint job lol

Ain’t that the truth lol

U.S. spec

The bumpers are larger for the us market

It works well it still needs a key to put into the on position and just push the button and it cranks.

You basically tap into the ignition switch, I’d start by studying your vehicles schematic at the ignition switch. Identify the correct wires and the switch you order should give you some type of instructions on how to hook up your wires. If I remember correctly a ground, always hot, positive when in ignition position, ignition wire, and a relay. Super vague but hopefully you get the idea.

@@SwangBangCo Thank you -Your e28 is nice

messyFTW lol

eBay, Amazon, local auto parts stores, and pick and pull (junkyard)

Mr. Low Klasse thanks man will do you’ll see my sub in a second

The U.S bumpers? One tucked the other diving board status.

JesseM72 how much

Chemist Productions too much!!! At first I was running I think 3 coils cut from the front and like 5 in the rear. It’s was right when I bought the car and just did it for fun. Now I run BavAuto lowering springs.

LOL I got lowering springs in now, maybe one day I can get Coilovers or air suspension

I agree!

It was actually pretty spot on, order through #protuning I found them through eBay. I wish I painted a few more coats of black and clear on the lip cause the rock chips are taking a toll on the paint

Thanks man I really appreciate it, got into this car not knowing anything about older BMWs and definitely very satisfying seeing the progress. Doing a m52 swap is something I want to do down the line, I have never done a motor swap before so it will take a lot of research before I jump into that project. For now I’m going to try to get 400k+ out of this m30. Andthank you again for the sub I really appreciate you support the channel.

Gotta driveway hunt

Are you serious?)) Every schoolboy can do like this)

I'm in Oakland btw! Didnt realize your page was local aye

BLESSED Bavarian Autosport Lowering Springs and one coil was taken off all around

@@SwangBangCo Cut springs will never work well, and Bavauto springs aren't the best for an e28. Either do coilovers if you want the cars super low, or go with something like H&R, Spax, or BMW springs.

$160 shipped

Look up the car and just look up restoration, and then slowly look at your car for what things it needs, just some research and this stuff will come out

@@fuckingallthesehoes3295 thank you

224,000 still lots of life in the motor just gotta get it back on the road been sitting since end of 2019

@@SwangBangCo thanks I am possibly going to buy an e28 tomorrow it has 284k miles and wasn’t too confident if it will completely die soon

How much are you paying if you don’t mind me asking? One of the first things you should do is a valve adjustment aside from the other maintenance stuff. The valve adjustment helps a ton!

@@SwangBangCo around $3.5k and thanks for the advice I will need all the advice I can get haha

Mike Ya mama must not have taught you the saying “if you don’t have nothing nice to say, don’t say nothing at all” considering this owner stated he was staying within a budget and didn’t want to break the bank I think he did a great job. Let’s see your build vids oh wait, you don’t have any. Probably some kid living in his moms basement just trying to hate on someone else’s build. Keep drinking that haterade 😘😘

Anthony S. Sorry to disappoint you but my mama basically taught me „safety first“ ...and since I restored my BMW the way a classic car deserves it, I actually know exactly what I‘m talking about. And cutting springs is not a matter of breaking a bank but more likely a matter of stupid, unsafe and unprofessional tuning. ....oh wait....I just remembered that I even have a video of my car....have fun watching 🤭😉🤟 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xs7kPcUI9hU.html
