        Way to many things to list. I want to get it running soon but I am not in a hurry. Now that I have the room I need to give the 528e "Niles" some TLC. I plan upper control arms, diff mount and CSB just to keep it riding well. I have all the parts so it's just a matter of time. I just picked up a set of 15" BBS style ?? with really good tires. It rides like a totally different car!

          Glad to see an e28 on the road.

          Do all e28s have medium case or are some large case diffs?

                As far as I know only the M5 and the M535 have the large diff.

                I only sent the white one to the yard. It had all the goodies to put on the 535 nearly rust free "cosmos". The 528e SETA(the one pictured above) is the winter beater. I am driving that baby into the ground. $500 eight years ago and still going. Better than a Timex!

                I am going to do the switch when the 528e is parted. Hydro boost is okay as long as it does not leak. The setup I have now has been rebuilt and leak free. 

                Merry Christmas Eve Eve :)

                  Do you just have an extra or did you do something to your 528e? It is a nice upgrade for the 535 but unnecessary IMO.

                    From what I've read I think those are the only non-medium case diff cars too. Glad to see the progress! Hopefully we can park next to each other in the spring :D

                      I still have your fenders and hood. I have not made my mind up on the moon roof though. Are you still interested? I have been thinking of that harness more and more these days.

                            And a BBS rear valance

                            post-3341-0-57714200-1421613875thumb.jp

                            I also found a front valance in hellrot (no pics)....I am going to paint that black and install. The front IS spoiler will cover it but black is better that red on a cosmos car. I will get it painted professionally when I do the skirts and rear valance.

                            More to come......

                                I like that rear valance, is the exhaust cutout centered or offset? On Mike Ramsey's car we made the exhaust come out centered which was a bit tricky.

                                  I looked center but I will check later this afternoon. If I remember correctly it looked modified a bit in that area. I will take some better pics too. Shame on me for not even cleaning it up a bit.

                                    It is offset 2"

                                      I figured that it would be offset, otherwise custom exhaust would be required which means no muffler because of how tight to the spare tire well it has to be.  Even being an inch from the tire well it has to have a slight offset to come out centered.
