I am in the same boat. OE RSB are cheap and the poly are over twice as much but supposedly easy to install over the OE. I am on the fence on which way to go.

Based on on doing the E34 last weekend, save your pennies and get all poly. Paying more to never have to do it seems very justified in my mind.

I'll say this. the E34 rear bumper makes the back of an E28 look really clean. The cost of euro's is stupid. $1500 for a full euro bumper setup, NO thanks. Go E34! The rears is easy to do.

Looks good. Are you still planning on snail stuff?

Im not allowed to comment on the spoiler now but I will be watching you.

I like the spoilers on the back of these.  It feels like the back slowly drops off otherwise and the spoiler breaks it up a bit.

So getting a new job that is actually going to pay me a fair wage thanks to jc43089!!! But now what to do to the e28??? Still debating to turbo the m20 super eta or just go full retard and get a non vanos m50 and turbo that on a stand while I have a driving car...

I vote option B so then I can have a super eta swap! Congrats again on the new job man, now you get to learn how once you have money you won't have time lol.

Not thexactly case here gonna be working 4 on 4 off!!!

[YoungCR]

Well then more time for you to pull the seta for me

[RamRod E28]

Well I'm Back!!! Lots of updates now and more to come...

First off, I ordered a ton of parts for the e28...

OE air filter

PCV breather hose

New intake elbow

Spark Plugs 

Cap and Rotor

Lower Control Arms

Thrust Arms

All new say bar links

Rear subframe mounts

Center Link

Inner and outer tie rods 

New Idler arm with bushing

While I was waiting on parts to show up I stripped the beige carpet out that weighed a ton in the and have been cleaning any bits of rust in the floor (Gotta say I'm impressed for a 31 year old WI car!) All in the pursuit of weight reduction YO! I'm putting black carpet in from MKOEPP That will save me close to 50lbs and itll get me closer to a full black interior! (Anyone have black e28 door cards???) And I painted all the lower dash sections black to match the dash as well.

ADD kicked in YO

While still waiting on steering parts, this happened...

Couldn't ask for better fitment

I still have that 325i camshaft for you

[RamRod E28]

Lost your number with my last phone... Text me snap...

[YoungCR]

Why not just paint the door cards too? Center console came out great and it's all the same materials. You can separate the carpet and panel on the cards too I think.

[RamRod E28]

I just don't know how well it would hold up on the door pulls and such but it's worth a try I guess...

[YoungCR]

Good point

[RamRod E28]

Well Im back with some updates! Its been forever since ive been on here but I still have the e28 and have done the all black interior and pretty much just been enjoying it for the beautiful classic toy that it is! 

Also kicked the van to the curb and bought another much faster toy!

But back to the e28. heres some interior shots finally! I did the door cards and rear speaker deck in black suede and it turned out awesome!

Moar e28 porn!

And for the best part! M50 donor car!!!! Gonna be tearing into it soon!

And just recently went out to visit my pride and joys... Cannot wait for spring to be here!!!

Suede door cards look good from here

So you are M50 swapping the e28?
