Madison/Ripon area. E28 Owner.

So, I acquired this car in a weird way, traded my 2000 CVPI (Crown Vic police interceptor) for this, beauty off my friend.
Runs good, everything works perfectly.
197,000 miles. Only rust is on the drivers door, other then that, rust free.
Modifications so far:
Came with Voxx rims, Clarion Headunit and a 2.5" exhaust 25K HID fog lights (deep deep purple)
Modifications to come: Entire car is getting flat blacked, with carbonfiber roundels, gloss black 5'ers, flat black rims, an 20% tint all around. It's getting an aluminum plate welded to the bottom of the oil pan, as it sits the lowest, an I don't want to deal with cracked pans. So I can go static super low
Anyways, heres some pictures of my ugly beast.
Sitting in my shop/paint booth.
The day I picked her up
Parked next to another e28, but this one is a 538e (basically a "super econo" because customers complained about terrible gas milage)
Heres my laugh at their "bad gas milage"

nice car! need some inspiration?
although flat black looks cool in pictures, it never looks as good in person.

Welcome.
There is no way the OBC is accurate in displaying MPG... At least not in that case.
If so, i guess I need a E28 in my life!
It's not accurate. But it does get pretty damn good gas milage.

Please don't flat black it. Vinyl wrap it yourself. Lasts much longer and is reversible:) welcome
It's getting plasti-dipped. So it is reversible.

That looks amazing who's is that? I have a hard time finding nice e28's sadly. Everyones either got E24's or E30's...

Welcome!
+1 on the vinyl wrap, it would be cheaper and reversible down the road. Maintaining flat black paint can be a PITA, it gets dirty super fast, and touching it up in the event it gets scratched is very, very difficult.

Like previously mentioned. It's getting plasti-dipped, It's like a vinyl wrap, but you spray it on yourself.
