    This car started out as my friends car, over a year ago. he got it, because his previous E28 (1987 533i) Had to much rust, so he sold it, bought this one. Didn't do shit to it. Winter came, he stored it in a heated garage all winter, then spring came, an we traded vehicles.

    That's what it looked like originally.

    I picked it up with rougly 189,xxx miles on it.

    Since then, it's been upgraded with, an exhaust, 25KHID Purple fog lights(not my idea, but they look legit), M sport steering wheel, and some replacement speakers. oh and a bit more low.

    Here's photo's from a few days before it got lowered. (Damn my timing!)

    I talked to my good friend Cory C-Hutch Hutchinson, about his E28 (Hank the Tank)

    He gave me the secret, and I followed.

    here's mine:

    Disregard that cancer spot on the door. The rear is up a bit more. So I can alot more room for new rims.

        Thanks good sir! I haven't built a build thread/running log in years. This is such a shitty start to one. But I gotta start somewhere, an finesse it.

                Custom front, rears are factory for now, I'm leaving the rear for now, because my rim choice hasn't been finalized

                      15x8 +30 offset I believe. Not my ideal size, and the tires are huge. But what ever. And they're 2 or 3 piece rims.. Can't confirm. Won't take them apart as I'm not gunna debead them. Lol

                              The rear sits up really high due to these huge tires. But thats getting changed soon. 😃

                                If they're OZ Fittipaldi's, you'd have known right away. OZ Racing would be cast on the back of one of the spokes, Fittipaldi would be cast in one of the faces of a spoke, and all the multi-piece OZ's have a bolt hole for the bolt that holds the center cap on. Don't know how many bolts hold your lips on but the Fittipaldi's use 30 bolts to hold the wheel together.

                                Car's looking a whole lot better with the drop and wheels!

                                  Not all of them have it cast. I have no center caps. And I'm counting hardware tomorrow! The rear of the spokes are hella dirty. If these stent Fittipaldi's. They're damn good replica's.
