E28 Bert 68 Report post Posted March 22, 2016 As the title suggests really, why don't we have a 'what have you done to your E28 this week / month / year' Like in the other E12 / E34 / E39 areas? Or is that E28 owners are just lazy and don't do anything 3 Ordnator, Captain Beaky and jut 535i reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dan101smith 1,058 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 I fitted some new rear brakes and new 16" alloys with V70a tyres, changed a gearbox sensor, refitted the driver's seat, re-jigged the wiring and test-fitted an E36 TPS to one. Took the boot carpets out ready for a proper cleaning on the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E28 Bert 68 Report post Posted March 31, 2016 Collected my battery clamp from stealer today and fitted, tricky job putting this in place, took me all of 30 secs, back to putting my feet up whilst babysitting the kids! 1 sharkfan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E28 Bert 68 Report post Posted April 1, 2016 Got my hands on a set of BBS RC090's today, bit of a bargain for £500. Someone has had them apart previously and polished the rims, and are in quite good nick, they are in need of a polish to make them look nice, however the guy I bought them from has recently put new continental tyres on, new centre caps and gave me a box full of replacement bolts. They came with the original bolts which are a bit on the dirty side so today I have started removing the bolts with a rubber mallet and punch which was fun! After removing them I put them in a jar of vinegar which will clean them nicely. Tomorrow I will start polishing the bolts with my toothbrush and drill. 1 Ordnator reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay4000 19 Report post Posted April 11, 2016 Wasn't happy with the stance of the car on the front so altered it a bit with a change of spring. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk 1 Ordnator reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Beaky 349 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) I pulled the cover off on the weekend and pumped a tyre up. If you look carefully it's staring with its one good eye in the background So today the tyre was flat again so I put the cover back on Edited April 18, 2016 by Captain Beaky 2 Goldsoul and Ordnator reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ordnator 217 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 The Diamantschwartz Eta: Last week: Fitted a hand brake centre console with electric and heated seat controls along with coin tray. Purely for decoration until I have the manual seats rebuilt with the heater elements, electric motors and install the looms. Fitted a repaired and refinished in black large tool tray, boot lid liner and filled it with my old 635csi tool kit. Today: Fitted new seals to the refurbished moonroof and fitted into the Eta. Manual operation until I upgrade to electrical operation when the headliner is replaced in due course. Replaced the centre console ashtray with the storage tray. Fitted the rear view mirror and map reading lights. Again purely for decoration until I build and fit the loom. Bronzitbeige Eta: Fitted two heated seat switches to the front centre console either side of the radio for the front seats and two more to the handbrake console for the rear seats. Also purely for decoration until the manual seats are rebuilt with the heater elements, electric motors and the looms installed. I have a little bit space in the garage now but the cars are heavier.

JAM172 185 Report post Posted April 19, 2016 To make space for all the work that has been needed on my e12 M535i, I had shipped my beloved e28 528i out to a friends garage and covered it over with dust sheets, that was back in last October, and I had not been back to see it since. It turns out that the garage was very damp and when I went to have a look last weekend the engine bay and some of the paintwork elsewhere was covered in mildew This has ruined all the bonnet sound proofing as well as furring up all my polished alloy casings. Whilst the e12 is away I have bought the 528i home, washed it, detailed all the engine bay and ordered new sound proofing for the bonnet. I still have further detailing work to do but I think it has forgiven me now. 3 Ordnator, Captain Beaky and 528i-FAN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
