had a bright red 1986 535i about 20 years ago, have a 2014 328i now... i know on paper the 328 is faster in every way, but my memories of the 535 definitely make it seem like it was the faster one... def more fun to drive with that super high torque...
Wow! That thing is loud! Just an idea, I think you guys should drive the Hyundai Genesis Ultimate or R-Spec. I've been in one before and it was a blast, the car doesn't get enough credit. I think it would be great to see what you guys can do with it.
trust me, this is no fake sound. When you rev an m30 engine they sound like that, even with stock exhaust. They used to make brilliant engines in Munich you know.
ah, ok. Well it's a matter of taste I suppose. For me the quintessential bmw sound comes from the old m20 and m30 straight sixes and bmw's have to have sharknose grilles, with only one exception, the E30. :D Everything bmw did after the 80s is not really my cup of tea ;-)
So what exactly does "winter beater" mean? Is it referring to the wheels?? Cause this BMW 535 is too nice to be a winter beater...besides its RWD. A old Chevy Blazer would be a better option...
European versions without catalytic converter had 218hp. This however is a U.S. version and because of regulations they were fitted with low compression engines and cat. conv. and therefore had to do with 185 hp. That and a smaller diff. makes them incomparable with the original manual euro-version.
you obviously never drove one of these, trust me, this is what an M30 sounds like. Incredible engines, smooth as silk and pull like a train. Originally designed for the E3 and E9 in the late 1960s. They were so good they replaced them with the M50 and M60 as late as 1990. The 3,5litre like the one in this E28 was originally used by bmw's Motorsport division as a racing engine in the 70s before they got the brilliant idea to put them in their normal saloons and coupes. Bmw's will never sound like that again... The U.S. bumpers are hideous obviously.
Ive had a few M54s and none sounded like this. Probably noticed the similarity because of the audio setup used to record the video. Thanks for all the info though, never knew that about the M30 engines.
Love your style of video, no words, no music, just car and the road, very nice
watching this video 7 years later, knowing that the value of the car would have at least tripled by now while seeing how they were treating it then
Back when bmw was bmw
your blood pressure is always high when you drive an old BMW ^^
***** I miss it
Old BMWs. We want More.

30 year old and no rattle, awesome build quality.
Love the HELLA H4 headlights. Huge upgrade over the crap sealed beams. Had 'em on my e21 back in the day.
Stupid US regulation with big ugly bumpers...
unbolt them then
Cole Phelps And only 182hp.
Sorry but I enjoy not getting my precious e28 totalled in a small collision. The euro bumpers are for looks only and not a drivers car. Period.
ikr
@@lakeshorerides how about don't get in a collision then
Ah....well done, every POV test drive should be like this video....make this the format for all test drives!
used to have the e34 version of this car..loads of fun!
I get to pick between the two each morning. It's the best decision to have to make each day.
How did you record that sound? It's so full-range, full-scale, so real like you're sitting inside a real car.
I think WRM uses an external binaural microphone to record the audio realistically.
Nice car!
Nice driving!
Sounds amazing!
Back when Bimmers were reliable..
Nice car
Isn't this the car you drifted in snow? It was your best video imo.
No in drift video BMW E28 is white
Beautiful
i love this car
i owned this car a year ago, but one day I bought again e28
so awesome
Шикарный автомобиль!
You should do Audi RS4 and Audi RS6 test drive!
What happened to the 60fps guys? This is your strong point in the videos you defo need this feature
There’s one for sale near me, 85 535 under 90k km. Need to make room in the garage
I'm digging it :)
Is a 2 series test drive coming any time soon?
the pilot is some chuby
👍😍
Cool
Wow! That thing is loud!

HEY WHERE'S THE 60fps????
30 year old burnout ftw
Say no to fake sound!
trust me, this is no fake sound. When you rev an m30 engine they sound like that, even with stock exhaust. They used to make brilliant engines in Munich you know.
Ygg Drassil nah I meant to say that the new BMWs are infected with fake sound, BMW M1, M3 E46, M5 E39, M5 E90 they all had brilliant sound :D

BWM THE BEST
Это оригинальный мотор выдает такой звук?
Is that stock exhaust? because damn. haha
Is this the stock engine?
в те годы делали честный bmw....
Dude whats wrong with your hands they were thin like two sticks
That's after eating thanksgiving's turkey
Do a 2009 bmw 328i
seriously?
What Liter is this ?
1:54 :D
But why are you abusing the car? It's a classic--treat it with respect. It didn't make it 30 years with people driving crazy like that.
now thats a propper bmw sound not these new digital-pc-game-sounds.
🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀😋
Мне не нравиться эти толстые руки

Andre sebastien Lawson thanks

I climaxed between 1:55 and 2:02
Why does this sound a lot like the new M4? Am I the only one who noticed this?

The body roll in that thing..I believe if you were to crash in that thing you would die..
e28 abuser
Poor car...
Wtf are u doing?!
Having fun.
Я ем хуже чем этот кот 😸
us bumpers totally ruin the looks...
This is a way how not to drive in old BMWs...
Охуенно)
I wish it was an automatic, then it would be a real drivers car, not some stick shit manual.
The sarcasm is real
Americans
Automatic's are for lazy fat americans...
Oh dear, what's wrong with that kind of people..
💥 now that's a first
eu version was much prettier. ugly bumpers
this is lame...
