Ruined Bmw E28


Schiffer

Recommended Posts

With the intel i got, she might come to my collage next wednesday around 12noon -2pm

i will be waiting for it and if she turns up i will ask about the car and try to take a look myself.

and seriosuly. they way it was and the way its effed up now :( its seriously sad

E28 is a proper classic now. what on earth happend to this?

and the paint job is pealing away from every corner. whoever did this has done everything extremely cheaply

Supra the original engine was a fuel injected one right? im assuming M20B20?

What happened was probably some Sylvi type bugger decided to "improve" it and make it "more modern". Plus in Sri Lanka it's an Old BMW with a 6 cylinder engine so that inself means people would avoid it, leaving it to fall into the hands of a joker like this one.

Yup, it had the M20B20, with an Automatic box.

ill check about that. im pretty sure it still has the original engine. it sounded like a 6 pot bimmer.

Oh dear god! I am completely lost for words to describe that thing. It hurts even more for me because this very car used to belong to one of my good friends some years ago and it was beyond mint back then! It's one of the very last E28s, assembled in South Africa as a 1988 model, after the E34 had gone into production.

The car was as I said beyond mint when my friend had it but after he sold it things went south and the car passed through the hands of several jokers who hacked it. It surfaced again about two years back at a dodgy car seller in wellawatte and my friend and I went to see it with the hope of rescuing it but there was just too much to do considering the price being asked (900k!). It was still fairly original externally back then so i guess a subsequent owner did this hack job.

Anyway, schiffer, please do try and contact the owner and if you don't mind can you find out whether it still has it's original mechanicals? If thats the case I will seriously consider picking her up for a complete working over. Do check and let me know.

Here's a shot of the car in it's heyday.... this would have been about 2003/2004.

I still cant get over this... damn! :(

Wow... a pretty sad story there. Really wish this deal would work out so you guys can rescue her...

This story desrves a seperate thread as things hearing about this car is not funny at all!. Toyota tranny and engine?, well, thats the final nail to the coffin.

I was just thinking, the original engine and transmission would be nice to have but they weren't very exciting anyway, Since there are quite a few bigger BMW sixes kicking around, it might make sense to put in a bigger six with a manual box if ressurection is going to happen. Of course that would mean all sorts of headaches with ECUs and wiring etc I suppose.

Esdeez can you ask "Dr E34" what his opinion will be on the feasibility of such a project?
