I did the timing belt on mine as well. Im sure the small-handed Japanese engineers thought there was a crap-load of space between the side of the engine and the sheetmetal but my man-hands disagreed. 

I agree. there was tons of millimeters of space!

I just picked up another E28. Gunna be the winter beater for a bit, then it's getting torn apart in spring and parted out.

1986 535i 5spd. Power seats, black leather seats, new tires, limited slip. Should do decent!

Muffler straps are perfect, if you can believe that!

[jc43089]

Haha that's a rare beast.

I'm finally ready for winter! Got my snow tires on today and decided to french my lights. I'm pretty happy with how it looks now.

[Brian.]

Looks good man!

[jc43089]

99 Maxima, 5spd.  Haven't put the Blizzaks on yet with them she goes anywhere till the bottom drags, then it time for the truck.

Up and running after about three years of neglect, new lower oil pan, assorted m42 air and water hoses and belts, fresh fluids, actually idles now and runs.

Still need snow tires.

I forgot his name, but that thing is stupid low, an it's his delivery car. That thing is sweet for what it is.

No doubt my buddy raced him with his vr6 gti and almost lost... We beat him when my buddy blew his shift linkage and stayed in third past 100 never knew a vr could rev past 10 grand lol I loved the power band after 8 grand

Thank you sir.  It has never left me stranded.  Ever.  A/C compressor converted to air compressor, can air up tires or even run an impact.  Hope to convert it to CNG at some point to make it cheaper to operate, on a good day it gets 12mpg.

finally picked up a winter beater. Subaru's are retarded. 

[Brian.]

Lol, have fun changing plugs. In all seriousness though. I am a diehard Subaru fan. STi's only though. or Legacty GT's. Nice rex-wago though!

[Rowleym]

Yea I'm definitely not a big subaru fan, but I wasn't going to sacrifice a BMW to the rust gods, and I found this bugger and the price was on point. I would pull the motor before I changed the fucking plugs... Also, This bitch was completely bone stock, dealer maintained, and one owner. 129k on it. 2002.
