BMW peaked with the E28... so I made all my friends buy them with me.

- I genuinely believe the E28 5-series is the best BMW ever built. If you know me, you know how passionate I am about them. They're my favorite car, hands down: a true sport sedan icon. Mine's no M5, but it'll get there someday. Today, I'm ready to show it off.. and I'm ready to add Anthony to the family with a 535i of his own.

Man I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate your appreciation of e28s. No other UA-cam channel sees our cars and gives them the love you do. People won't really get it until they've owned one but you truly do it justice online. -fellow manual 535 owner of 10+ years. Also yes factory rake gang!
🤝 much appreciated!
It's hard do put your finger on why, they are just great.
I like my e28 528i just as much as my modded 635csi Bi-Turbo, they are very different.
Even though they share so much.
@@stanceworks any plans on a socal e28 meetup?
The e24/e28 fam is just a little different from the rest. They’re special cars, that until you’ve driven one, people tend to overlook…despite being two of the greatest cars ever produced.
You could not have said it any better, proud owner of an '86 528i,love her to bits
This is great! This kind of content is always the best, IMO. This is kind of what YT use to be before the corporate overlords started forcing creators to bend-the-knee to the algorithm. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely appreciate your guys' efforts at the focused, full-scripted videos too, but there's nothing wrong with the VLOG style or just riffing off the top of your head. It's always cool just to see what's going down at good'ol StanceWorks. ✌👍
Stoked to hear it. I’d love to do more as long as the episode is well received!
Fully agree w this comment here. Awesome video!
@stanceworks please do more like this!
Will agree with the others, this felt like peak *nostalgia in high school afternoon “I gotta jump on immediately to see what new videos are out!” Vibe UA-cam used to give me.
Old BMWs are why I followed the Stanceworks blog more than 10 years ago. Keep this content coming. I own most of the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s enthusiasts BMWs.
I’ve followed you since I was 16 I’m almost thirty. Had my all track stanced and ready to rip by 18
Now this might be a far stretch lol but is there any bmws from the early 2000s that are reliable and has inexpensive maintenance repairs I really want one but I don't want a money pit and when something does go wrong I don't want it to cost a arm and a leg
@@hordonsalano2734wouldnt buy bmw then
@@fuji2447 yea see I love cars but not here to throw money in to a German plastic pos no matter how much money I make. Y'all can play the game if keeping up with the Joneses cuz that's why folks get them cara anyways and normally don't have the money to afford the maintenances
@@hordonsalano2734 Well, my E36 is from ´94, but i own it for almost 10 years now and it has never seen a repair shop from inside since.
Only did the obvious regular maintenance like oil every 10k km, coils, air- and fuel filter and fan belt, but those are really not high priced parts and easy to do yourself.
Love the relaxed vibe, seems more authentic and real, not chasing the algorithm.
Your taste really is perfection, OEM plus is the way to do to it. And your taste in the actual cars too.
The 525i with the clean look. No spoilers and European bumpers is the best look. Even standard wheels and tyres look awesome. Very well made video. Thanks
Im from munich Germany and also a proud owner of an early 535i and i enjoy you guys so much no other channel in youtube is so much into e28s than you i love it to see these old tresures redone and roll like f new again
21:50 yes! more like this please!
Yes yes yes yes yes yes
Definitely more!
I used to hate "stanceworks" guys when they stormed the scene in the early 2000s - but seeing Mike's build and all the love and effort he puts into everything he does, not only do I appreciate it, I'm starting to like it myself. Keep up the great work guys.
Nice to meet you Anthony! The channel looks incredible, so I guess that means you're killing it! Congrats on the E28!
Praise be to Saint Anthony
Dude, absolutely spot on content. It's the simple pleasures that make being a car guy worthwhile most of the time. Doing a crazy swap or a big HP conversion is great and everything, but most of us can't achieve that stuff. So when you install fresh wheels and sort out the wheel gaps, that's relatable to most of us as it's attainable. Wheels and a drop is usually someone's first mod on their car.
Well done Mike and Anthony, 1st class work.
You call yourself a “perfectionist” as if it’s a bad thing. I think for a the majority of us, that’s a big reason as to why we watch your videos. Your attention to detail is pretty awesome.
He's a perfectionist who is able to complete the job. Most times a perfectionist is never pleased with the job because it's never perfect.
Not a bad thing, just remember rule #1 never let perfection get in the way of good enough.
I absolutely love the e28. I had an 88 535is as my first track car. I stuck an M5 motor in it. I also had a couple of real e28 M5s. They were a pleasure to work on and a pleasure to drive. I never had one leave me stuck on me stuck on the road.
I genuinely believe they’re the most reliable car BMW ever built.
@@stanceworks for sure, im shopping around for one here in europe. The ones that are for sale hoover around the 140.000 miles on the odometer or are stupid expensive lol
All my friends liked e30's back in the day but me....I loved the e28 (shark nose) as we called it. Never got round to buying one...what a shame. Nice channel 👌🏾👍🏾
My mum had a E12 M535i from new and we drove it like crazy for 10 years until as all BMW’s the subframe gives in but we tortured the car for 10 years and never ever broke down
Great episode.Remembering why we still play with cars. Those late hours with friends in the garage or at the track.... best times ever. The real family.
My jaw dropped and was bewildered and intrigued when I first saw & heard the M5 (blk/blk) in period! That was 35 years ago and it’s still a beauty!!!
Man I love that feeling of seeing a car on the ground after you've first lowered it. The anticipation of seeing the fruits of your hard work. Nothing beats it. I can totally empathize with how you felt dude.
Looks amazing. There isn't a single build of yours I don't love 😁
Also, Anthony does amazing work. Channel looks awesome mate. 👍🏻
Thanks a ton! I agree, one of the best feelings ever.
I've loved the e28 since it made it's debut many many years ago. The M5 was my dream car after the 3.0 CSI. I love what you've done to your and now getting the whole team into the BMW family is super cool to watch. Yes, more like this please!!! Love this channel as it brings back fond memories of the many evenings spent with my old neighborhood crew doing similar things to our favorite European cars. Great work Mike!!!
Enjoying the recent pace of uploads.
This was great! I'm definitely here for it. Glad Anthony got to join the family, as it were.
It's crazy how much something simple like changing wheels can change a car. I remember your video on it a while back. I put a set of Motegis on my Civic and suddenly it wad turning every head. Gotta enjoy the little victories just as much as the large ones.
This thing is not only very well built but everything’s been done so extremely clean. Love from the Netherlands my man! Stoked to see what you’ll come up with!
e28 prices just skyrocketed
Love this style of content mixed in with the usual fab stuff. Hits a bit closer to home for those of us who might not be at the fabrication step of builds yet.
Also congrats on that steal of a deal Anthony! Excited to see what you decide to do with it and make it truly yours.
This is the best channel on UA-cam! I love the content, videos and level of details you share, explaining tools and the process.I have learned a lot.
If it means anything, someone nearly across the world, is watching your videos to go through the very difficult times of his life, Thank you.
Definitely More of this Mike! This is that pure automotive enthusiast moments that create memories and it also makes us feel a part of your journey.
This truly reminds me of back in the day with rusty and just enjoying cruising and fitting coils and lowering it. But instead of reading on the forums, we get to see a video journey which makes your feel like you’re there.
Lotsa OG love from South Africa, keep up the great content. We are always supporting you since day 1. 😎🎉💪🏽👊🏽
No. Peak BMW is now. M5 CS is probably the best car on the planet and I am 46, had 18 BMWs, first one being e30. New BMW car are better in every way, shape and form. Sorry.
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
@@stanceworks must not have watched your BMW rant. 😂
Peak bmw? No manual option on the M5.
The M2/3/4? They are just too heavy, go drive an E36.
It's not about speed, it's about feeling.
Really like this casual approach to this video. Its not always real life to be building 1000+ cars and engine swapping. Its nice to just sit back and chill to see what's going on on a normal day. Keep up the great work.
Great video Mike ! Really well told full story here. The casual nature was also nice. Felt like we were just hanging in the garage with ya. Very cool man. Channels evolving well with the help of the camera dude helping. It’s upped the game even more! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I had an '83 533i that was a manual with black exterior, and red leather interior. I can't tell you how much I wish I still had it. I'm happy for you! They're beautiful cars!
this is probably the most fun format of video you do. I love the technical build breakdowns, the step by steps, but these more candid looks are so cool.
Great content and it’s refreshing to know there’s a plethora of car geeks not so different than myself or each other. I saw the Ur-Quattro around 6:40 and my heart raced. I love cars and appreciate what you put into the channel out of your own “Why”
This has got to be one of my favorite videos. The vibes are great and it had a little bit of everything. It’s awesome that Anthony is joining the crew and at such a good price! I hope to do the same with an e28 as they are definitely one of my top 5 attainable dream cars.
Glad to be an observer (even just) of the StanceWorks initiation ceremony :)
Welcome to the family Anthony!!!
As for the new rims on the E30 - ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!
I remember seeing one of Mike’s E28s at a period correct meet years ago.
I’m glad to see that Mike is now sharing the passion with the world via long format video. Bravo Mike. One of your big fans. 😎
Absolutely amazing man! Love this, I have loved and driven classic bmws for the last 22 years...I'm now 38 and have some medical issues preventing me from working on my current e34 540i 6 speed , and e38 740i ....I'll get the eventually! I've had loads of e30s, few e34s ,e36s , e38s, even some newer e39s, e46s, e60s,e90s....but always come back to the classics! Love the content, and have subbed! From Scotland, UK ❤
This was an amazing video highlighting your passion and talent. What you have done with your E-28 and the new wheels on the E-30
I’m a E-30 addict 🤤 since I was a kid because of my dad, but I’ve had my eyes on an E-28 in a pearl sky blue.
Keep these great videos coming and congrats to Anthony on his new wheels, looking forward to seeing the evolution.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
One of my favorite videos on the channel, hands down. Great job, guys, keep it up!
I cannot agree more! I remember when e28’s were contemporary, I thought they were some of the best looking cars then and they remain so today. Timeless classics.
and those Alpina wheels….perfection!
I'm glad I experienced these cars - E30, E28, E34, E36 - when they were new. Proper BMW's. The Euro 535i was a bit of a beast.
This was refreshing to watch. The big builds are intense and very informative. But the roots vlogs are pure entertainment, you can feel your enthusiastic energy come thru the camera
Nice to have an upload on my birthday, thank you. I have an E36 I'm fixing up to flip, but every time I see one of Mike's videos, the urge to keep it is insane.
I like this !
I will enjoy seing more of this type of content !
Simple projects are the soul of this channel when big projects the showcase of your Expertise.
Never loose your soul !
Congratulations from France !
One of my favourite episodes yet. Love the major build videos but this one reminds me of when me and my pals get together to ‘tinker’ on each other’s projects.
Also given me inspiration to get back working on my M535i project, been sat in the garage since a full respray. Too many distractions.
Back in the mid 70's I was a 510 nerd. I've spent a few hours installing the "Datsun Comp" suspension on my friends 510s. This episode brought back some good memories of fun times and good friends.
Very nice work, Mike.Thanks.
What I appreciated the most about this episode was how relatable it was. This is something that could happen in my own garage. My son-in-law, grandson, and self crawling around and under a BMW messing with suspension trying to get the car 'just right.'
Kind'a relaxing in a way... now we're reading for more fabrication/build content! Just remember to keep bringing these 'garage moments' back.
One of my favorite videos to date, so casual and genuine, it's great
Perfect episode. This felt like quintessential Stanceworks content, and brought back memories. I remember lowering my e90 and the euphoric feeling of getting the stance just right. Great work per usual.
I really enjoyed this video, it took me back to working on cars with my mates when I was younger. Too many car channels on UA-cam have to go bigger and better with every build and they loose the relatability as a result.
I really enjoyed the more chilled out format of this episode. I'm definitely reminded of why I got into cars and love it so much! Great episode.
UK E28 M5 owner here 😊. Really enjoyed the video and your presentation style. Good luck with the cars!
I had a 528 5-speed. Great car. Not in the same league as the 535 but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Just when I thought this channel has the best content, here's a new video with different style and content that I enjoy even more. It really feels like being there. Thank you Mike.
This is the kinda content I have been waiting for so so long. Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed the episode and the more relaxed style! Love seeing the e28 and e30 content!
Congrats to Anthony on the new ride! Love these type of vids even though it’s no crazy build or swap.
man this video was awesome, i loved this kind of content. also, pleeeease keep nerding out about e28s and making e28 content, its awesome :)
Bought an e28 last year as my first enthusiast car and its been a blast. Can't recommend them highly enough for anyone looking for a perfect blend of classy, cool, fun and nostalgic. Love what you did with yours, enjoy!!
E28's are the best. Best at a million things, and I love them.
Absolutely love this type of content, it's a great balance to the more technical. Looking forward to see the transformation of this new one too, show it some love.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful ride!
Loved the episode. Seeing you and your friends smile made me smile. Cars are best enjoyed with friends that get it.
Mike... out of all the cars you have right now... this is by far the best looking one. Simply perfection. Where has BMW gone.... such a shame they went away from their heritage. LOVE the Alpina wheels SOOO much.
Really enjoyed this kind of content it seemed more natural & looked like you guys was enjoying yourselfs kind of like you was big kids just hanging out doing car stuff the e28 looks amazing👌🏻
I got into your channel because of the Ferrari and the hyper-nerdy build videos, but this is easily my favorite video you’ve ever made. When people in the future ask me why I love cars, this is the video I’m gonna show them. So wholesome, so authentic, and it feels… attainable? Relatable? I know I’m never going to build a bespoke racecar, but this feels like a life I could actually experience. This definitely has to do with my specific love of fitment/stance, but I don’t know if I’ve ever enjoyed a vlog so much as I enjoyed this one. Please make more of these :)
I appreciate these videos and cars because it shows how much you care about doing it "right" and not just doing it to be crazy. Chromatic and Aiden are the same vibes. Bringing it to my own car because of you guys.
I'll have to look up Chromatic. Aiden is my boy! (Peep the LowTemp radio air freshener in the E28!)
Exceptional episode, thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Love the video, your so lucky to find rust free cars on west coast. I'm in UK so hope you feel our pain over here👍
Watching someone follow their passion and share it with us is the UA-cam I miss. That’s what I love about stanceworks!
Just the best content as always! Love the relax vibe!
Man your vids are the best on UA-cam, and this is the best kind of vid. I love you fab work but man… these ones just feel so chill and special.
I nearly bought an e28 535is auto in 2014. It got bought out from underneath me. Since then I've had cool BMWs, e30 325i cabriolet and e92 M3 in the stable right now, but I still keep an eye out. I first got into BMW as a kid when a guy showed up to race sailboats in his e28 M5. Since then that car has been fully and meticulously restored and I lust for one even more now. Maybe one day. Congrats Anthony. have fun with it.
Are you handicapped?
This was amazing. One of the best videos I’ve watched on this platform. E28s are on my radar because of stanceworks. One day I’ll build me a e28 touring.
Mike, great episode - been here since almost the start of the Ferrari series and I liked the laidback nature of this, felt the real Mike was coming over. More of the same would be cool 😎👍
I saw a burgundy 85 524 td at my local gas station in 1989 filling up with diesel, the gentleman bought it new, I fell in love with that car, 2021 I saw it for sale in a yard, I bought it, he has passed away from cancer in 2019 and his widow hoped it would go to someone who loves it as much as he did. Yeah it's not a racer but it's a rare e28 turbo diesel that makes me extremely happy every time I drive it, I grew up driving old series Land Rovers in the 80's and 90's so that 121 horsepower is much appreciated over the 70 horsepower of my old Rovers.
Loved this episode! Reminded me of the website back ib the dsy. Please do more of these "vlogs" love em!
Another fantastic production film. Camera guy makes it great. Good team.
And I’m glad there were some shots of the Quattro. May turn into one of your favorite drivers…..just maybe
Just found your channel,a couple vids in. Loving it. Nothing better than some classic bimmers
Great, great content!! Love Bimmers and this was a great way to start my day!!
Hell yeah! Dig this format. Feels like a little bit of peak behind the curtain. I came for the fabrication but have been following excitedly also because of the Mike persona. Still killin it, man.
Great video, Mike. Keep it coming. This format is, frankly, my favorite.
First time I am commenting on your videos. Loved this. Relatable. Don’t get me wrong, I love to see the expensive builds, but seeing something most of us guys passionate about cars with a smaller budget can relate to really gets me pumped going out working on my shitbox. Keep up the good work, Mike!
Oh my DUDE !!
Great episode.
Thank you for sharing your journey(s)
Cheers from Wisconsin !
Great episode!
Beautiful cars, laid back vibes, cheers guys 👌👍
I’m a JDM guy but these are great! Respects from the northern slums of Los Angeles. Keep up the great work and keeping these older cars running.
Absolutely love the fact you decided to share this with us. Always appreciate classic BMW content, especially E28 content. 15’s look so much better on the E30 as well. Hate the stretched tire look. Now you have proper sidewall with correct sized wheel.
I love it when guy have a decent dream car.
The E28 is Dreamcar material.
For me, it's the Lexus SC400.
But here in Germany they are rare! Less then 20 in my country.
After years of looking for one, I finally made my dream come true.
Awesome video. Chill vibes. One of the best
Love it! Please post up Anthony’s e28 progress!
This type of content works for me, but then again so have all your others! Keep it up, works for me!
This is The Good Stuff. Friends working on cars and sharing excitement about cars. Car projects, like music and motorsports, bring people together. More of this!
Awesome episode. Really loved the theme and the flow!
This is so crazy, I owned a 83 520i while I was stationed in Germany. It was my first car in 96 and it was the car that got me into loving to drive. I drove her all over Germany until the clutch fan went and blew into the radiator. I wish I had her repaired and kept her. Yours looks amazing and now I'm looking for one.
Beautiful E28s. Love your enthusiasim for these fine machines. Ive had mine 84 since 96. God bless! Enjoy!!!
Love this video. Just feels like friends hanging out living life and something I can relate to.
When you said "this is my dream car" though...man, I remember my uncle had one of these in metallic green. Loved that car as a kid. Good to see there's some clean ones left.
This episode resonates so much with me and my passion.
I just lowered my E28 this week too, and the transformation is exactly what it needed.
There's just something about them that is hard to explain to other people, but yep, I bloody love mine (apart from the automatic transmission), which is not an easy conversion find here in Australia.
Great video👍if the itch to do something like this again, don’t hesitate!
😎 honestly you always do it right, making simplicity and, or, over the top builds look 👀 absolutely priceless! To much! Or not enough! You got that touch of quality to whatever you touch! Proud of your passion, and jealous that I didn’t continue pursuing my passion and leaving a visual and physical artistic piece that will be a true part of me the world can experience!!!! Thanks buddy not everyone understands that a diamond in the ruff is the most beautiful expression of selflessness!
I really appreciate this build. Thanks for sharing it with us!
This was a good one alongside your other content. Variety is the spice of life, and it's fun to get a look at what really gets you going, too 🙂
Fantastic episode and great to watch another person join this fantastic hobby. MOAR!
