        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

        20150328100657zpslprqtal7.jpg

        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.

              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.

                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...

                      Suede door cards look good from here

                      So you are M50 swapping the e28?

                          Some form of an LS or LT will be going into the bmw at some point in time. the m50 is just to make up in the lacking of power dept... May do an m50b30 setup this year or just a quick dirty regasket and mild rebuild to not have it down for long...
