And because I know someone's gonna out-E28 me... yeah, it's a 535i, not a 535iS. Sue me!
Had an IS years ago and always regretted selling it.
😄
It's the E24 for me. Love, love, LOVE the 635CSi.
lawyer up 😉
@@dasfahrer8187it’s such a beautiful car though
I grew up at 16 yrs old in the Chicago suburbs working at a BMW dealer. My boss liked me and trusted me and let me learn to drive stick on his 88 BMW M5. Also drove an orange 635 CSI with gold bbs wheels, the 850s and 93 M3s new - at 16. Also drove a Shelby replica AC Cobra and a 67 Corvette Stingray convertible. Years later after moving to Los Angeles working for a company I found out my customer was Carroll Shelby and got a private viewing of his collection there. I love cars. I love older BMWs.
I got to fly a military helicopter when I was 15 years old... and did it enough times that I was capable of soloing the thing.
Some of us kids happened to be in the right place at the right time..👍
I own an e28 535is that I came across on a trade. Being a 5cyl Audi 200 guy originally I can’t express how much character this car expresses at all times. Thanks for the e28 love.
The over bite of the hood/grill and the subtle-rounded edges makes those old bmw's timeless
I've always enjoyed your older car showcase videos, so I'm glad to see them return!
Outro blooper was gold too, and damn that laugh was contagious.
Khalil has the best laugh on earth 🇦🇷
@@stanceworks The E28's front is just perfection and timeless. The rear is a bit outdated.
Stanceworks vehicle features have played a massive role in my life over the years, so being able to watch them in video form, fills a void, and I am so stoked about it. Please, please feature more vehicles and tell their stories. As always, great work Mike. Thanks for what you do!
I'm the proud steward of an 1982 euro 525i e28 with factory slick top, crank windows, and 4-speed. Alpine white with cardinal interior. Wouldn't give it up for the world! Fabulous video. Thanks for creating and sharing!
Those 80's and 90's era bimmers are timeless.
Thanks for this Mike..I've got 2 e28s and it's lovely to see some love out there from cognoscenti such as yourself. Your videos always rock. Your style gels with my requirements for a quality film. Neve miss an episode!
Love hearing this! Thanks a lot. These cars are the absolute best!
I've been waiting for the return of your showcase videos! Love everything you do man, keep it up!
That is a stunning E28! I have an E39 as my daily and an E30 that I lusted after for 25 years and I adore both of them. It's getting harder and harder to find these gems (especially with a manual transmission), but I love to see examples like this. You cannot beat older (2004 and older for me) BMW's for classically beautiful styling and a drivng experience that has to be experienced for yourself, you just can't explain to someone how good they are. I love that analog feel when everything is going digital these days. And a crack free dash?!?! That is about as common as a unicorn!
My son bought an E39 a year ago........they are beautiful.
Love this alternate form of content! Supplements the build content beautifully. I'd definitely like to see more, keep on crushing it Mike!
E28s are truly special to me. Really happy to see u making a video on it
That makes two of us! Glad you like it!
This is just beautiful. Having owned an E21, the vintage BMW thing is undeniably amazing. Thanks for sharing, and please, make more of these videos!
been following you since the time you went cross country with rusty and that slammed trailer haha. your content is as good as your photography and your stories and your builds! we dont have much e28s here in Manila so seeing this is a real treat! More pls!
My first car was an 1986 e28 520i. Absolutely lowed that car but went too far modifying it and had to let it go due to starting a family. This bring back so many memories of the car. Thanks for the video.
I really like this kind of content because it shares your passion and features your excellent photography. The E28 has always looked "right" to me but I've never considered owning one. Might have to re-think that now 🙂
Love this type of content from you, perfect match up of old school but modern tech.
Also if this is going to be a series, any chance of 3D magic Mike !! His fab/design work is amazing, would love to hear from him (+ he’s worked on movies) and his stable is 🔥🔥🔥
I’m buddies with Mike. If I do more episodes like this one, I’m sure we can make something happen!
@@stanceworks great circles to be in sir, it would be killer
Had an e28 535i in the family when I was a kid and absolutely loved driving it, such engagement with the road, hard to believe how small it was as a sedan compared to where vehicles are today, a gem of a machine.
Yes, more of this please! Absolutely love it. Wouldn't cut anything out, but would be keen to hear a little more about the mods / set up (coils, exhaust, drivetrain etc). Keep up the good work!
Awesome car! I'm more of a Benz guy myself, I do agree with you the E28 is probably one of the most elegant saloons ever. And it sure was more of a driver's car than a Benz of that era. I'm a lazy driver, so I prefer a W124. To me both great saloons from an era when cars were fun and it was not considered wrong to enjoy them.
W124's are pretty beautiful, too! Especially if it's a wagon.
Loved this Mike. The context, history, and detailed breakdown are reminiscent of old BBC Top Gear at its best while still being distinctly SW. The production, as always, was beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like all your videos, but what keeps me at the edge of my seat, waiting for the next episode, is the build content. Thanks!
As long as it's something you're passionate about, like the E28, make the video. The quality and the love you have for the car shows. So definitely keep doing these!
Thank you for the really nice video. The E28 is a great car. And this one is Awesome !
Great job with the cinematography and storyline! I love videos highlighting others builds. Get some of my best ideas😂
Thanks a ton!
Please absolutely do more of these video features - fondly remember checking into the Stanceworks blog a couple times a week in previous years and this is a real throwback. Stoked to see your style has translated quite well from text to video!
This is a nice addition to your channel, I really enjoy your style of videography. Keep them coming!
You do a fantastic job breaking down a car's history and what is special about it. Of course, your filming, editing and narration is unparallel. Appreciate you. Keep keeping on my friend.
Much appreciated!
My personal favorite BMW body style.
🤝
Great video quality as usual. No matter what kind of video you put out they are great. I always check CZcams every morning to see if you’ve posted a video because I can’t seem to get enough. Keep it up.
Really enjoyed this. Was a nice change of pace!
How 'bout doing a shop/tool tour and or a walk through on all your current builds? I think new subscribers especially will enjoy it.
Keep up the incredible work you're doing.
Love this type of content! I will always cherish the summer I had with an 87 525i. Such great cars!
Beautiful car! Great content. Throwback to when I found stance works. Keep it up!
Great episode.I'm from Brisbane, Australia, & have 2 e28's. Both originally were m535i's, but one had an Alpina B10 kit applied in 1996 (well before I had it). Love both cars elegance, reliability, performance and retro styling.Jeremy's car here is superb.
Love the overall build on this E28. I love mine and can't wait for the season to start here in the UK.
What a great vid. Thanks. Brought back memories of my old e28 amongst the 14 old Skool BMW I’ve had. 💪👍
hell yes, always loved the features on the blog and your writing. excited to see more videos like this!
GREAT video Mike! Love to hear stories about some of the older BMWs. Personally I have dozens and dozens of desktop pictures of various e28s. That car definitely fits the definition of cool!
I think it was 2012 when I first stumbled upon your website. Didnt take long to find JW's E28. I followed the Rusty Slammington build, the two Hot Rods that were built and all the other cars youve showcased over time. JW's E28 was my laptop wallpaper sometime between 2014 & 2016. To see this here on your channel is bit of a homecoming-ish feeling for me. So I can only chance a guess at how you feel. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Loved this video!
I've got a 535i in Australia, has 380,000kms and is still in amazing condition, full service history from day one from the previous original owner.
I've got a lot of maintenance, repairs and plans for this car, once the rebuild cylinder head comes back from machining.
Oh, and a manual conversion is high on the list of desirable mods to it.
There's something about older BMW'S that just can't be explained until you've owned a few, I've lost count now.
Keep up the great work!
Awesome video, having been around as a 10/11 year old when these beautiful machines were launched I have never stopped loving them.
I bought my first e28 many year ago because of you!
Now I also have a extraordinary E28 M5, thank you so much for what you do!
😊
Loving this channel more and more. This E28 is just magic
My very first car was a used 84 BMW 520i I bought in Germany. It had a manual transmission sport wheels fat rubber & a manual sun roof. The car was bad on gas & had a GORILLA clutch. I drove it everywhere all over Germany & sold it for as much as I paid for it. My second BMW was a 94 530i with that same M60 V8 but with an auto & I was in love. This video brought both of those cars together for me in a way I didn't think possible. Thanks for sharing BM Vee passion & thanks for sharing this car.
Love love love the new content approach. I’ve been a subscriber going wayyy back to your short form content that showcased cars like this. Please keep this format and add this content back in going fwd
Always great to get more SW content-love the builds and the feature vids!
More videos like this! With the loss of magazines and even many feature websites this type of content has been largely absent from automotive media for the past few years. Miss seeing y’all’s cars at events on the east coast. I also need some good, old fashioned motivation for my recently purchased E36. Keep it up
Thanks Mike, now I want an e28 once again. Love to see this kinda throwback feature, fun change from the norm on the channel.
E28 has always been a sleek sleeper. The best part of the video is the burnout intro. Brake, Gas, and Clutch equal tire smoke.
Love the content, the time and effort put into this build is amazing
When I was 21, I stood on the showroom floor of a BMW dealership in Detroit. I will never forget that evening nor the vehicle that has forever captivated me! A 1988 BMW M5! Absolutely everything you spoke to in your vid is spot on! It is one of the most beautiful vehicles ever made. The 3, 6 and 7 series vehicles from this epic lineup in the 1980’s are also stellar in their styling and build…the e28 somehow always floats to the pinnacle of their styling at this very special moment in time near 40 years ago. I wonder if you like M-B 124s? They are quite lovely as well. Lastly, you have to get these vehicles in euro spec with the shallow set bumpers! Just wicked, the car you spotlighted!
Fabulous video, brother. I am a Porsche owner that bought a 2007 BMW M6 convertible with the V10 for summer and now I am obsessed with learning more about older BMW’s. This car is stunning!
Awesome video, I have a 528e that's waiting to be fixed up. But loved how it drove when I first picked it up.
Hello from greece,this was the reason a became a subscriber to your channel....when i show your e28.....and then this one is beautiful ....sort story this was my 1st car at 18 years of old.....my favourite one...i miss my old e28...i have many good memories of it....thanks and keep going.....the best 5 series bmw ever made....
Great video! Great mix of history and personal anecdotes. I want one!
Love this dude! It’s like your incredible written blog posts that originally drew me to you, in video form!
So good! It’s like going back to the old stanceworks blog where i used to spend most of my time. I loved the old e28 on hre 501 with the 1j. That photo in the rain was my background for a long time. Would be cool to see kassems e30 also
keep these videos going! Car checks/interviews with other owners are awesome!
Thums up! Your content me buy my E28 10 years ago. Still loving it.
Love the format.
Reminds me of reading the Stanceworks car features on the website before going onto the forums.
I had an E12 525 when I was young, but always wanted the E28. I also had a 528 with a 3.0L engine and is was awesome. Love vintage BMWs.
Amazing video
Love this format!!! Stories is where it's at :D
Wow thank you,you taking me back to my childhood. looks beautiful and it sounds beautiful. love it! Shout-out from 🇿🇦
Love E28 & really enjoyed your video
Share your passion / Keep these videos coming
Thanks!
It’s great to see these sedans becoming a pinnacle in a subdued racing facet. As an owner of a 1 owner 528e, I can now understand and appreciate the build quality and road drivability it has . Slow, but I like it that way. It has a certain attitude in the way it initially dives into the turns like no other vehicle, ever!
And with the way it absorbs bumps, I feel like it was the best 5grand ever spent on any vehicle purchase I’ve ever made. Btw, 37mpg hwy mileage out of a gas 6 cylinder…hmmm, how come you don’t see that in any modern 6 ?
Love em!!!
Your car features are incredilby creative and showcase the details and design of each machine beautifully. Keep it up!
I told you a couple weeks ago that I have both a 308 and a URquattro in the garage now. When I was fresh out of college I bought a 528e and I loved it. In fact I loved it so much that when it came time for me to sell it, I had a very hard time doing it. So I sold it to my brother and he still has it twenty years later. Probably one of thee best cars of all time.
This is the OG Stanceworks content I love. Just like the Blog. Keep them coming.
Gotta love that ad you were showing, shot in New Zealand, awesome!
I did, very much enjoy the content on this one. I have been a fan of your website with the photos and stories for years. It only makes sense for you to take that approach with the video channel. Well done.
Great video, love the work you do. Absolutely love that car. I’m currently in the process of doing my second 84 533i. My first one was over 20 years ago and mint condition. My new one not so much, my son and are restoring at the moment. He’s in love with the older bimmers too.
Awesome E28 episode. Love the style of this video. The history and facts were icing on the cake. Well done 👍👍
Keep featuring these classic BMWs. One of the most interesting cars I've owned was my (E28). That car broke down with me quite often, but it was one of my favorite Euro toys. Always tinkering with it, but it was fun. I may jump on one in the future. Gotta have the Euro bumpers, headlights etc next time around. ❤
I love my E46. Beautiful 328i mystic blue metallic sedan, vintage of 2000. My dad got it in 1999 when he graduated out of business school. He handed it down to me, and I love that car. It has a lot of issues now and me and my dad have made it a project car in our garage. But that car had no issues up until 220k miles, and it has over 250k miles on it now. That car handles so perfectly, it really is excellent as a driving machine. BMW not so long ago made real quality cars, that were beautiful, a great combination between tech and analog, and a masterpiece to drive. I miss old BMWs, they really are awesome.
Love that video, got some real vibes in it.
My blue E28 has spent like 10 years in the garage now.. time to put engine together again and get her on the road
Please absolutely make more videos like this. I absolutely love the E28 platform. This particular example is perfection. I've been watching your progress for some time now. Please bring in more old school flavor. Sr. 7. E28. E30, etc. More analog Germans, please!
Nicely done - classic to see the vintage advertising of the train and mountains shot in New Zealand where I have an e38 and an e39 M5. Drove an e24 M5 and fell in love………big $ now though.
Incredible feature. Love this style of content!
Great ep, love this kinda content as much as your usual. This is like a flashback to the good ol blog days.
This is the most beautiful E28 I’ve ever seen. Peak BMW design. There is so much to love about older BMW cars and given the opportunity I wouldn’t hesitate to obtain an E28 M5 or E30 M3. This car in particular is spectacularly done, I just had to comment which I rarely do on CZcams. What a car. What an era. 😮💨
I've got a modified E28 with an S50 under the hood. It doesn't get much attention or many miles put on the odometer after I picked up a Focus RS as my daily a few years back. I've been considering selling the E28 for a while now, but this video gave my car a reprieve from the chopping block. Great video and motivation to take care of minor annoyances to get my car back to daily driver readiness.
Awesome Mike! Great e28 love story. Love it! I went a different direction on my e28m5 track build, which you saw in Laguna about a year ago - much like your Group A.
Great to see e28s get some spotlight.
2:17 did not realise that BMW filmed an advert for the E28 in New Zealand (right hand drive). Love the video.
In 1985 when I turned 30 and I finally wasn't "poor", I decided to reward myself with my first new car ever. In fact, I was the first one in my family ever to buy a new car.
I shopped around. I looked at the Nissan Maxima because I love angular almost boxy cars. Two strikes against the Maxima were it was front wheel drive and you could not get a black interior cloth or otherwise.
So I set my sights much more upscale and looked at the Mercedes 500SEC. Another gorgeously styled car. But you could not get it with stick shift.
Then I popped into the BMW dealer to look at a 635i/ iS, but could not order it with stick shift. That's when the dealer said the 535i/iS could be ordered with 5 speed stick.
I told him I really preferred a coupe and was really leaning toward the 500SEC. He said the 535i/iS would blow the doors off the SEC and outperformed the 636i/iS.
But I wasn't sold at that point because I really wanted a coupe. So I temporarily put car buying in the back burner.
Then I discovered there was a brand new 1986 M5 brought in as a "gray market" vehicle. The importer was honest and told me that as a gray market import I could not have it serviced at the BMW dealer and it only had a 12 month warranty. Despite how gorgeous it was in metallic black with buffalo leather interior at a whopping $28,000, I passed because if it were to have broken I felt it might have been too risky to take on and find a mechanic who even knew what that car was. In 1986 barely anyone even knew what a BMW was.
So I went back to the local BMW dealer and ordered a Black 1986 535iS with black interior.
When I told my dad that I ordered a BMW Black/Black. First he said "what is that".
Then he said "why did you order black when there are so many nice color options out there?" I said, "because I like black".
About a month later the dealer called me and said they could deliver the car to my address and being that the dealer was 85 miles away I agreed. I was not home when the car was delivered, but my father was.
So when I got home, he said "that car looks very 'elegant and sporty' in that black".
Then I took him for a ride. He could not believe the rude, handling and overall performance. He became a believer.
That car was like a train in rails. It was one of the first cars that came with the console computer which I did not want because to me it seemed like something more to go wrong. I believe it also was the first year they introduced anti- lock brakes.
Something, I bor anyone u knew was familiar with it believed in.
Six months later during a snowstorm with at least 6" of snow on the side roads with no one around I decided to test this new brake system.
So I accelerated to about 60 mph.
I let go of the steering wheel and jammed in the brakes. The car quickly came to a stop straight as an arrow. Believe it or not I leased that car for 4 years and when it came to the end of the lease, it had a residual value of $12,000. I loved that car and despised the new models that became feminized rounded variants. So I had the dealer convert the residual value to another lease. After 8 years I bought the car for $1.00.
One year later I sold it for $7,000. Unfortunately I did not like the way BMW went in their styling and diminished reliability reputation and have since become a Benz afficiando.
I have since acquired and still have a Black/Black 1990 560SEC after selling my beloved BMW.
I also gave a mildly modified Black/Black 2006 E55 AMG S211 (Wagon). What a BEAST.
I am sad to say that I just feel that offerings from practically all the car manufacturers including German, are overly complicated and "engineered" and their styling is what I call "goofey" with each manufacturer trying to out-goofey the other. Please bring back simplicity. Even electric car offerings so far seem to be overly complicated and impractical especially in regards to recharge range and recharge speed.
Was lucky enough to be stationed at Garlstedt, FRG in the late 80s. Bought a 79 BMW 316 in red and a 1980 525 in green. Upped the 525 motor to a 528. Had the split tail trunk spoiler. Was an autobahn killer.
Awesome video Mike! Stoked on the idea that you'll be sharing other people's cars on the channel, like the blog but in video form. As for input, my all time favourite CZcams car content is the Petrolicious videos where the owner talks about their story with the car - the ones that always had 'My name is... and I drive a...' Maybe you could add an element of that to your videos, would have been cool to hear what this car means to Jeremy himself on this video. Just a thought. As always though, excellent work!
Great episode! Your content is always as well produced as the cars are built! Definitely enjoyed a quick feature video on your friends car! I'd love to see some more!
I’ve been following you since you were a little ways into the Ferrari build, but never paid much attention to videos that weren’t part of the build series. That was a mistake. The production, editing and writing are top notch. I’ll be going back through your profile again. Thanks for the dope content!
much appreciated, thank you! My first car was an 84' 528e and i loved it! I now have an 84' 533i as well! I may sell it later this year but should make some more memories with it beforehand!
I owe it to you and Jeremy for making me fall in love with these cars back in 2012 and inspiring me to purchase my own! 10 years later I still own the car having been through about 5 sets of wheels, 2 engines and a full exterior/underside restoration in the past year and I still get that happy feeling every time I so much as look at it! So cheers boys, for introducing me to my favourite car of all time
Fancy seeing you here 💪🏻
Love this content. I would love to build another Euro e28. Keep it coming. Subbed.
Great episode! E28s are one of my all time favorite cars.
Keep them coming. 👍🏼
I enjoyed the format, I always enjoy your editing and video quality. You've made me want a round head light BMW.
I really love the showcase style format!! More please!!!
Loving this format, loving that E28!!!! Keep 'em coming bro!!
Was awesome to meet you the other day at Piuma! I was in the Audi TT. So glad I found out about this channel, I’m loving the content so far! Maybe there’s a TT video coming soon? 😏
Love it! That’s my 2nd favorite 5 series. Right behind the E-34.
I like the change up in content, feels appropriate for your channel and the group you surround yourself with… Tuesday’s is bonus content Fridays is the grind work and maybe even more control arms for the Ferrari
loved the video chatting about something that's so under appreciated when compared to other BMW models, looking forward to seeing more
