  • The clean28

    Well umm i dont know how to start... well i guess ill start at the VERY beginning.
    when i was 16 my dad brought home a 1986 535i from work that they where going to scrap.and i fell in love i begged him to keep it and it eventually became my first car. i drove it for a year untill i found a BADASS 91 k5 blazer so i sold the car and got the truck... i regretted ever since.

    my old k5

    Fast forward four years (i cant belive its been that long) and me and my friends decided we all wanted to get cars and have a cool little club so we can be cool and drive to car meets and stuff together and take pictures. i was looking on the good old craigslist and found an E28 for 700 bucks i called the guy up he told me it ran and it was a 535i with a 5 speed.. SOLD me and my friends drove an hour away and saw this.

    IT WAS A 528E AUTO

    But it wasnt too rusty (so i thought) so i talked the guy down $300 and towed it to my friends house that night.

                            Must be nice! It looks like this car is headed in the right direction. :thumbup: Sucks about driving all that way and finding out it was 528e auto, but at least you got it for cheap.
