E28 ... one of the greatest designs ever. looks great with the alpina wheels.
I want one, my dream car
Just bought myself a M535i E28 with Alpina Kit. Beautiful car.
Well you should look at the e12 its even cooler imo
@@jbods1998 Can I ask about the price and the condition as I'm in the marketing on buying the same.
What an awesome series. There is a severe lack of e28 content on youtube so one as fun/detailed as this is great to see. Really hoping to enjoy more e28 stuff in the future from you guys!
The series is very relevant for the E24 as well, so thanks for embarking on this project. Now, about that eta engine.........
Thank you for making this series! I have a 1988 BMW 528e and love it to death, and this video series helped me get some ideas for upgrades in the near future. Please continue to post these!
This was a great series. Very helpful, and happy to see this platform (E28) get a do it yourself build thread. Thank you!
Man , that’s a beauty , happy for you and happy to see this model living so well in 2019
Such a cool daily driver! I'd love to see some more builds like this where you're making improvements which end of improving the quality of a daily driven car while still be fun to drive.
Sweet car!
Honestly I've never heard anyone say vague the way you say it 😂 caught me off guard just like when I first heard y'all say Celica 😂
that definitely got me too hahah
Vaggg
lol sounded just like the swedish word väg=road :P
Seeing you do this to your e28 gave me inspiration to do work on my w201
loving the work you have done to this ... looks the part and does what you need it to ...
I Love the E28 it's absolutely Beautiful. I have been looking for one. I had a e12 when I was a teenager and I wish I never got rid of it.
looks great! I thought this was a fun video series on the e28 although I am partial to bmws. Its good to see a clean example being driven and taken care of this way as a lot of people neglect their older cars!
Car looks lovely man, now you have to get a M88 engine!
Great video, keep it coming.
VAG!! Lol love you guys, awesome build here
The E28... absolutely a beautiful classic!!
My friends and me call this process 'deshitboxing' it's so satisfying, good job!
I love those blue sport seats. I've been searching high and low since you posted this series!
Absolutely love this car, I enjoy these smaller projects and oem+ way of doing it. I'd love to own this car. Now we need more Celica content !
Sometimes watching these smaller projects being done is just as entertaining!
Your 528 looks amazing and seems to drive beautifully. I love the Alpina rims. I wish you had kept the powered seats...
Overall well done! Please keep us posted with more videos on your BMW oldtimer.
Loved the series . Thank You
That constant grin says it all. Well done and thank goodness it's not over-modded!
this looks nice and clean, Good job!!
Ooof that looks good. Def. dont winter drive it, not that many bmws in that shape around in Ontario!
What a clean e28!!
beautiful E28:)
Right on man, what a beautiful job with the overhaul. Im surprised (and happy for you!) to hear how much you like the coilovers.. I would say the key here is to make sure they're set up properly. I have a 535i which I recently did a full suspension oiverhaul on. When I bought the car, the handling was good, but the ride was absolutely terrible. The previous owner had 'stanced' the car out a little too much for my liking - but at the time,m I didnt realize that that 'upgrade' had completely ruined the suspension. When I went to a more stock setup (stock suspension mounts etc. w/ ireland engineering springs and bilstein tourings, w all new bushings ctrl arms and ireland engineering sway bar kit) the car was complelety transformed and I now have seen the light - what these cars are meant to drive like. Night and day difference - it soaks up the bumps remarkably well, it maintains about the same ride height, theres a tiny bit more body roll but overall it handles *better* than before, and just floats over everything. I LOVE IT. So be careful with coilovers and make sure they're sert up properly!! Sounds like you did :) Enjoy it in good health fellow e28 lover ;)
Super sharp bummer, nice job!
Really enjoyed the BMW refurbishment. Can’t wait for more!
What a nice car!! Great build!
Yes! Beauty! My dad had a dark blue E28 528i Euro without the front air dam.
Awesome outcome!!
Hey Pete, great job and video series. I thoroughly enjoyed this type of video, please keep them coming. Another simple upgrade that you can add to your BMW would be some colorful Alpina pin stipping. That, in my opinion, would set it off. Still though the car looks great.
the alpina rims and cow catcher front spoiler really set this car off.. love it .... we had the 525ETA over the water which was pretty much the same ... revs to about 4500 etc but gave great MPG ...... love the car lets see more
Beautiful car man. Congratulations!!!
Good work guys!
Nice result,PT!
Congrats on finishing. Love how it looks. Gotta say I'm a little (pleasantly) surprised at how much you liked the Fortune Auto coilovers! They have always had the stance and drift crowd associated with them; and therefore I never associated them with higher-quality coilovers. Maybe I'll give them a shot when my DD needs suspension.
I really dig it, that's a nice little daily car. Also it seemed like a fun break from the usual go fast content.
Good job. The old Bimmer looks very good.
Come hangout in Grosse Pointe, we could get a few E28 guys out.
looks so clean!
Nice to meet you,
I'm looking forward to it
I'm from Japan, and I own E28 for 25 years.
This car really does remind me of my own daily a bit. A lot of little upgrades to make it more fun to drive.
Looks boss. Man I always loved E28 M5's but this does a close approximation and I'm sure more than half the price.
Was grinding my teeth so hard at you knocking the shifter into neutral all the time!
Wow your e28 look sweet as mate , can not wait to start rebuilding my E30 m54 conversion. I’ve got a S50B32 euro engine even many parts to build engines ,
Ok gonna be honest those Alpina wheels looking super fucking good
Great looking car PT!
Thats a good looking classic car, colour, wheels and stance really suit it.
gorgeous car great job!
Love the stance!! 👍👍
Not a fan of the Alpina front splitter but absolute love the E28.
Got a few plans of my own for an E28 but that`s quite hush for now....
Great job, love to see more vids like this. Big thumbs up
Nice!! Great job!!
FantStic style. Good mods on suspension and breaks. It would be nice to see some spirited driving. 🤙🏼
Damn that’s dope, clean af
@Speed Academy awesome series. The E28 looks so good. What about a series on an E30 resto?
More rebuild series please ! 🙏🏼
5 years wow, great looking car
yess that lakeshore run!!
These are such sharp looking cars.
Ihr habt den guten alten e28 super schön und trotzdem noch dezent zu einem neuen Leben verholfen! 👍
Very good job!!! 🇺🇸
Viele Grüße aus Bayern, der Heimat eures BMWs! 🇩🇪
If you can't say something positive then don't say anything at all. Great Video. I hope to do at least partial what he's done to his BMW when i get mine. Love it. You had me looking up parts and the whole thing.
I drove many years a 1984 e28 m528i (euro spec)186 hp.. great fast car for 1984...the frony of the car is great
Looks clean for an old beater!
Wow, that looks so good, got me looking for a e28 now ffs.
Absolutely love it, all it needs now is power 😉
No, not everything needs power, build a bloody mustang for power not an classic 5series
@@Matt-sz5po so you’re saying an E28 shouldn’t be powerful, what about the M5/Alpina/Hartge variants those weren’t powerful? I’m not saying to LS swap the thing but a more modern engine like an M50 would work, keep it in the family why not 🤷🏻♂️
It needs some more agressive look but not to out there something that makes it look beefier but yet stays elegant. I suggest (fender flares)
Almost to 200k guys!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, find a BMW E30 to work on and maybe to turn into a track car! I wish there was more good quality material online concerning 80's BMWs. They have such a strong appeal and I would love to see you guys working on them. Hopefully I'm not the only one :)
Luca Mantovani 88/89 325i 🤤
YT is especially lacking in e28 content, so this series was fantastic. Proud 85 535i owner here
to many e30 destroyed already...stop it
I’d say keep driving it in the winter but try your best to maintain it and keep rust away, maybe do some rust proofing to try keeping it kind of nice?
awsome car , congratulation ;)
OH Pete those jorts are sick!!
Loving those alpinas man. Sick car.
Thanks! I love the wheels, such a great look.
That car looks so awesome. The euro bumpers are so much better.
I love you guys.
Fix the rear alignment!! Nice upgrade for your daily!
1:07 Factory front caster of 7 degrees!? Holy moly, that is a lot!
Nice job..
Other than the color and wheel choice this car is awesome!!
You get incredible mileage with you car, mine is so bad compared to it ! I get 14l/100km (around 17mpg I guess) The automatic eats so much energy, I have to 3.73 rear end too. The 2.7 M20 has torque yeah, but the cylinder head choks the engine higher in the rev range. It's like a diesel behaved gas engine. I'll go with the m20b20 cylinder head to retain compression ratio, give it a b25 throttle body and intake manifold, and ditch the motronic 1.0 for the 1.3 off an e30, to wake up this good engine a bit. Anyway I was happy to watch this series PT ! Consider keeping off the winter a bit but you're right to enjoy your ride, it looks and certainly drives sweet I'm sure !
Great car. I'd love some e30 videos. Or one on a cheap alternative to US bumper e30's.
Looks good. The Euro bumpers go a long way
I have the same car, (535i) even the same color with euro bumpers 2 hours east of Toronto.
Looks soooo gooood
Maybe your "complaint" about the upgrades, is that it's too nice to be a beater anymore :-)
Congratulations, nice car. I have one.
The bimmer is nice- but I'm wanting that Gram LIghts shirt.
Damn looks good.
Remember the days you could drive a lowered car in Toronto? Good old days, Young st in the summer civics egs Z24's Foxbody mustangs z28 all cruising down town T O then drive to hwy 7 and the rest is history ;)
Now you just about need a pre runner.
That goes for Ottawa too. Too many times voting liberals into power that don’t understand basic infrastructure.
Heads Up when was this? The roads were always shit
Did something specific happen to the rear alignment (i.e. hit a curb?) or is that just cumulative wear over the life of the car? How does it affect tire wear?
Its probably a combination of worn out bushings and the change in geometry from lowering the car. All in all the real blame is that trailing arm suspension is absolutely garbage in every way and personally I'd considerate to be on the same level as a live axle.
I love it.. Here in Norway they are rare as hens teeth due to the corrosion.. I would stop driving it in the winter and get a cheapo Korean or Japanese car for the rust to eat. :)
E24 and E28 are my favourite ones. TBH I wasn't surprised when he mentionend eating through rotors too quickly after seeing his driving... he drives this thing like an automatic, every possible moment when he doesn't need acceleration he goes into neutral and absolutely doesn't use the engine to help breaking.
528e is an ETA model which is the mpg model, if you want performance the 535i or M5 w28 is the answer.
Still,...still to this day,...my all-time favorite BMW! Long live the E28 535is! Not sure if you upgraded to ///M5 Swaybars,...but if and when you do,....prepare to be Look'n for Curves for No Reason at All!
If you do add the ///M5 Swaybars,...ensure you Reinforce the Swaybar "Links" mounting point on the MacPherson Strut point,...as the increased resistance of the Larger Swaybar and bushings will cause the mounting point on the strut to basically break-away over time. Yeah,...go ahead and ask me how I know!
Swap in a different ratio diff or LSD and a Jim Conforti performance chip would help. I did that with a 86 E30 325e. Except I used a LSD from a 635CSi (a 3.64 or 3.46 ratio I forget) and it was a bit high on RPMs at 80 mph so I think a 3.15 diff would be better.
Pete the type of guy too take us from one side of the golden horse shoe too the other in a jump cut
Awesome
Hey PT, you know what would really wake her up? The running gear from the E46 M3 drift car.
Can you do an Integra gsr build!?! They are pretty cheap now
