Having always had volvo 240's I recently made a change over to another of my favourite barges of the 80's. I was looking for a diesel daily, but it didnt really go to plan. which is good because I ended up buying a tidy e28 that I just couldnt resist and could sort of justify bieng "economical" with the m10 engine.
Bought it off ebay, had a fun lift to get it in my mates mx5, looked like a lobster when I got there as I forgot to wear sun block ;D It sits on -40 springs with bottle tops and has a minty fresh "poo brown" and beige interior.
got it home:
Got rid of the GB sticker and the tow bar fittings:
cleaned the interior (it was already prety clean) and gave the leather a bit of feeding:
not a whole lot of plans for it. drive it and enjoy it, keep it as mint a daily as possible. Put new roundells on the wheels, re-furb them soon. Make more 80's themed cd's. sorted
exhaust went the other day, welded in a small baffle box instead of the rear silencer. Makes a half decent noise not much louder. Cut the tip off and kept it on the car. looks no diffrent

Had a tow bar fitted from factory, no leather though, some nice person fitted it after ;D
, never seen that before and been working for BMW 23 years! These are what I call proper BMW's.
