Went out to the parents house bout a week ago where my derelict looking e28 with snow mounded on has been sitting for the past 3 months and happened to have my keys for it.. Battery was still hooked up and was thinking there's no way this beast will start but sure enuf lights came on and hit the ignition and she fired and purrs like a kitten long live the m20!!!

[RamRod E28]

ok well I tried to get my parts car outta the shed just to get my jeep stuck at least 5 times back there so that was a no go so got back to my computer after trying to just get my garage doors to open and failed at that too and came across this vid this is what id like to do to the 84... what do u think jc43089? and computer is being a pain in my ass so wont paste the link... everything is working so lovely for me today just look up bmw e28 turbo - m52 2.5l on youtube

[Rowleym]

Any reason for m5x over m30? Is the stock weight distribution poopy? Shit man Id love to have a m30 turbo e28..

[Rowleym]

Not gonna say that dude blows at drifting, but he sure is not great. Cool car though

[RamRod E28]

the m30 is such a big pig would like to keep the weight down and a smaller 6 is the best bet its either boost a smaller newer bmw straight 6 or getting a 1jz-gte

[RamRod E28]

and yes he does blow at rage drifting I can do better in my n/a e46 328i with open diff lol

Please don't get a 1jz. Stock m52's and e85 with big turbo and you can make plenty power for anyone. SOOOO cheap. Not worth the extra cost of the 1j for the same shit.

^Also you will have to start your own wibimmers1jz.com website, that's just more work than it's worth.

I guess bfinley will have to start our own jdmbimmers forum lol if I do the 1j but rather have a power plant from the motherland

Didn't see too many of those at the dealer either, most have tan interiors.

[RamRod E28]

How about something like this on the e28 they look bbsish

[jc43089]

I like it, kinda different, how would those offsets work?

[Earl]

Those have been done before on e30's and e28's. They look gorgeous on e30's. That is also one of the lowest prices for a set I have seen. Look into the trans am turbo wheels too=)

Here's a pic on an e28, they look great.  From this post it looks like the center bore needs to be enlarged, but any machine shop should be able to do that for pretty cheap.
