So some of you may know me from my black e28 and some may know from the e34. Well the e34 was a random grab when I had the panther. I was so fed up with the car that I needed an outing and this e34 popped up. The plan was to get another e28 but nothing came up and the car didnt sell so I traded. Fast forward to a month ago, the e34 had been for sale for a while and a local car that I wanted for years was up for sale. just for me. That made the selling of my e34 mandatory and I needed to lose it as soon as possible. In the end, a deal was worked out with my buddy and I got the car. Some background on the car. Basically, my buddy who bought the e34 is living in the same household as the guy who sold me the e28. The car is a 1984 528e with under 200k. That is thanks to a swap from some dringus' I know in bend since the old motor blew up. Well, the guy lost passion in driving the car since it wasnt the same when he got it back (paper towel lodged in the throttle body, Shift linkage not mounted, windows not working, kinked exhaust). Anyway, I fixed most of the issues before buying it. Paint is good for the most part and the color is one of my favorite parts. Done a full tune up hoping it would run better. It does for the most part but still is rough. Cant be too surprised. Its an old ass BMW. I dont plan on cutting the fenders off this car thats for sure. Been gathering parts to lower it (sleeves/springs, shorter struts, studs for spacers) and hopefully it will go down soon. Here are some pics.

And the new car
Of course, wipers stopped working going 65 on the highway, got a flat, also got pulled over twice in the first 24 hours. fuck me right.
Got the exhaust fixed. Was straight piped and was wayyy too loud so i put a muffler on. Now its too quiet haha. I plan on fixing it after suspension stuff
Also did a plate filler.
Fenders are rolled and ready. Still need tires but that will be okay for now. Thanks for looking!
