B C Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 but what if its not, what if in a haze of mid-grade petroleum fumes, you rush to the passenger compartment to go for your initial drive, forgetting that there is no seat, and lob yourself into position only to crush your twig-n-berries on the formed hump in the unibody. I don't get the feeling that you are considering all the possible scenarios here. and for that i give this thread a 1 star rating jc43089 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Cool idea, terrible execution. Did you ever see this one? BMW never offered even a concept, but there were a few companies that did touring conversions. andyhundley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamRod E28 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 So the e28 touring is a myth I've seen that one and I would trade almost everything I own to get one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 There was indeed never a factory one offered, but some companies would take your new e28 and convert it to a touring (their design of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 That "thing" looks like a horrible Caddilac hearse conversion...E28 tourings are no myth but they are the unicorns of E28 models. Schulz was a tuner back in the day that also did coach conversions like what Bauer did with E21's and E30's. Less than 100 were made and I haven't heard a number on how many are still around. Fun fact they also made E24 6 series cabrios! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Fuel not primed, my e30 took forever to start after draining the fuel, pull out the fuel pump relay and use a jumper wire to run it for a minute. I think the pump only runs a few seconds and it takes forever to get the air out of the fuel rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Here are some pics of the thermostat housing repair. The nipple for the throttle body heater was corroded terribly so I drilled it out and tapped it 1/8 NPT. If this happens to you and you want to keep the throttle body heater you can get an 1/8 NPT to 3/8" nipple fitting and thread that in.

RamRod E28 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Now to feel better tomorrow (had a sinus infection from hell today, didn't even leave my apartment today ) get this glorious hunk of metal registered and insured and then irritate the local yokels with the e28. Can't wait to do the i stroker setup and maybe mega the squirtin and turbo this winter. All in all I am more than happy with the car now. If you have an e28 that isnt a manual, you are wasting your time!!! Also the exhaust would even impress Thor (the god of thunder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamRod E28 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 OK finally back on here... The e28 LIVES!!! The manual swap was the best thing ive done to the car yet (besides the Menard peformance exhaust). It pulls very well for being an n/a seta manual swap car. Also i have the auto diff in it still and no complaints, its geared perfectly and it can light up the tires in the dry from a stop no probs, in the wet itll spin up the rears through second!!! I will shut up now and get you guys what you really want... PICS!!! Dat sticker doe! Night shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamRod E28 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Did some screwing around on my car yesterday Found this old dizzle exhaust tip which slid right over my twin tips Then I broke out the 2 shitty cragars that i had laying around for a test fit. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
