Brian. Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 This car started out as my friends car, over a year ago. he got it, because his previous E28 (1987 533i) Had to much rust, so he sold it, bought this one. Didn't do shit to it. Winter came, he stored it in a heated garage all winter, then spring came, an we traded vehicles. That's what it looked like originally. I picked it up with rougly 189,xxx miles on it. Since then, it's been upgraded with, an exhaust, 25KHID Purple fog lights(not my idea, but they look legit), M sport steering wheel, and some replacement speakers. oh and a bit more low. Here's photo's from a few days before it got lowered. (Damn my timing!) I talked to my good friend Cory C-Hutch Hutchinson, about his E28 (Hank the Tank) He gave me the secret, and I followed. here's mine: Mid process. Disregard that cancer spot on the door. The rear is up a bit more. So I can alot more room for new rims. Brian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Good Work! Thanks good sir! I haven't built a build thread/running log in years. This is such a shitty start to one. But I gotta start somewhere, an finesse it. Brian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 What suspension are you running? Custom front, rears are factory for now, I'm leaving the rear for now, because my rim choice hasn't been finalized Brian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 The rear sits up really high due to these huge tires. But thats getting changed soon. =) Brian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Finally found out what rims I have. OZ Racing Fittipaldi 3 piece's. If they're OZ Fittipaldi's, you'd have known right away. OZ Racing would be cast on the back of one of the spokes, Fittipaldi would be cast in one of the faces of a spoke, and all the multi-piece OZ's have a bolt hole for the bolt that holds the center cap on. Don't know how many bolts hold your lips on but the Fittipaldi's use 30 bolts to hold the wheel together. Car's looking a whole lot better with the drop and wheels!

I have no center caps. And I'm counting hardware tomorrow! The rear of the spokes are hella dirty. If these stent Fittipaldi's. They're damn good replica's.

Brian. Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Btw. To the first person that says, "Go lower" I drag exhaust going over pebbles. And my tires are too tall at the moment. In total. I've got.. 3 inchs from the rails to the ground, and about 1.5" from oilpan to ground. So plans for more low go as follows:Skid plate builtsmaller tires probably 195/45/15get my exhaust tucked up in (Can't wait. It's gunna be loud. SS exhaust ftw.And.. More lows!

B C Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Be careful, ive seen some really ugly carnage from skid plates on extremely low cars that lifted the engine and bent+tore out the subframe/unibody sheet metal upon impact.
