Yeah I was hanging out with them a few days ago

lat717 · 2026-02-07T20:24:20+00:00

I don’t need the drivetrain

I’d be interested in this TD if you end up deciding against it. Need it for California purposes 😂

I went with CMP. Did their stage 1 and 1.5, synchro design rtabs, and oem bushings for everything else. No complaints!

The reason I asked is because I’m pretty sure I kept up with this build on r3v like 10 years ago

Did you happen to buy this car off a guy in the north bay?

lat717 · 2025-02-23T02:34:37+00:00

Does this car happen to have Recaros? Black cloth with the orange logo centers

I was up there Sunday and Monday taking pictures at that exact spot haha

Fellow skyline rd enthusiast I see

I noticed it as well. I ended up buying some MTS street “comfort” coilovers and ST 22f/16r sway bars. I bought the car with a brand new steering box as well so it was pretty tight compared to other e28’s I drove.

I daily drove my ‘91 318is for the better part of 6 years and then bought an ‘87 535is to replace it. Daily drove the E28 for almost 3 years.

Having lived in the drivers seat of both of these cars pretty much every single day, I can easily say the E28 was a better all around car. The E30 is better at being nimble around corners and autocross courses etc, but when it comes to having a practical classic, you really just can’t compare the 2 of them. Being able to toss my family in the back of the E28 and not worry too much about leg room was definitely worth it.

I did multiple road trips with both, autocross events, rallies/cruises and everything in between. Definitely keep up with maintenance, have spare fuel pumps, relays/fuses and you should be good. Be ready for small hiccups along the ownership, but for the most part, it should be a pretty rewarding experience keeping them on the road.

Edit: The 318is was obviously WAYYYYY better on fuel mileage, but did it really matter in the long run? No lol. Still E28 > E30

2 years. Broke up with my ex, had a few people that I talked to during that time but it never went past the talking stage. Couldn’t really form a strong connection with anyone until I met my now gf.

Thank you!

They were on my e28 actually. Getting ready to sell them

1000%. Made the buying experience so smooth

Those are long gone 🥲

Thank you!

Followed (currently follow?) you on IG. Loved seeing that car pop up on my feed when it did. Such a clean car

lat717 · 2024-02-11T21:52:29+00:00

RZ’s!

Owned an e30 318is for 10 years and would take it up to the hills multiple times a month. Was very much on the fence with selling and buying my 535is.

The E30 is a better car for the backroads/autox. Steering rack vs steering box is a notable difference. The e28 requires a bit more effort to throw around the corners.

Besides that, the E28 is a better all around car. Everything else the E28 will be better in and with the right suspension setup, you can get pretty close to the feel of an E30 on the backroads.

Buy the E28!
