I feel like this is a dumb question, but what are the extra body kit parts on your beautiful e28?
I see waaay too many different choices for valences, bumpers, etc. I really like your set up

Cool, it's one of those accesories that split the crowd, either you love it or you hate it. I love it :cool:

Plus they are rare as "hen's teeth"

I really like what you done with your e28!

I'm curious about what suspension setup consists of? Also what are the specs on your rims? Like diameter width and offset ? Also what size tires are you using?

You should not. Sort of an Alpina-only thing. However, if you don't put the text... I'd say that's fair game.

Can you verify 51471934987 is correct, by chance?

Also, have to say, I liked your old wheels better, but that's just because the new ones look similar to the ones our police cars use. It's like you're some kind of traitor now. They match the car very nicely though.

I'd say no to the Alpina stripes, but not because I don't like the striping. You have a lot going on with your car, pretty busy. But I currently love the look you have going on with the black wheels and the chrome center cap. I think that they refer to it as "titties". LOL. I'd keep it the way it looks in that last picture. That's just my opinion though.

I love your build.

Nice build. I love te simplicity of the upgrades and the good power it makes.

I've got a 6spd for the s50 lying at home doing nothing. May think about welding on the bellhousing of a stuffed by gearbox that bolts up to the m30/m88 as the extra gear would really suit my car as I do the odd long trip in the e24 and the dogleg with 3.45 diff makes cruising 100kmh a 3000rpm expernace. There is not much room in the trans tunnel did the 6spd fit without any modification to the tunnel?

I have been thinking about steelies painted body color and the hub cap for a few years. Figured I would run drag radials and skinnies. Glad you did it so I could get an idea what they would look like. Thanks. Killer car. It would be much faster with 200 less HP. :D
