BMW E28 Build Transformation (1 year Progress) in 8 Minutes

- čas přidán 7. 04. 2019
- This is some of the progess done to my e28 over the past year or so. Nothing too crazy just a budget build that I get to work on from time to time that’s now my daily. No where near finished so subscribe to the channel. A lot has been missed like starting motor change, alternator testing and swap, Lowering spring install, and interior replacement pieces. But as parts come in I’ll try to post more videos. Leave a Like 👍🏾, post a comment, and don’t forget to hit that Subscribe Button and support small CZcams.

Great freaking work, love it! ❤️
Thank you I appreciate it
Videos like this deserve more, this makes me feel like the world will be ok. Love it, watched it 100 times
As I was watching it I thought to myself.... looks nice, but it will handle like shit with cut springs and ridiculous camber. Then I saw the tire blow-outs. Glad you came to your senses ;)
Try getting European bumpers they look much better.
I have a lot of them
@@inadykto I'll take a set off your hands if you're willing to ship ;)
@@sparkeyjones6261 it depends. +79036625240 what's app
Also a new exhaust as the one coming out of the back looks like *hit
@@inadykto hello if you still have a set front and rear I'll take them shipped 06492, ct
Those bumpers are the only thing I'd change
Labor of love here folks. Turned out well. Nicely done imo
I really appreciate budget build so did the best I could with the resources I had.
Sick video ... I'm in the process of restoring my 1972 BMW 2002 and this inspired me
Love seeing an e28 being cared for
Who doesn't?
Peugeot drivers😂
Should of kept the wheels grey dude, and get uk style bumpers bro. Awesome build
I know! Lol after I painted them I definitely regretted it. Looking for some decent style 5s and uk bumpers is something I’ll do in the future, they’re pretty pricey. Thank you again for the support
Put back the original BBS wheels man !!
Great work
Wow. Looks great!
So clean!!
Wow what's up with them dislikes?this is awesome set up regardless what people think you should've done...budget build done right!used to own 4 e30s
Joe Bee lmao I know right sheesh I appreciate all feedback, as a side project I didn’t want to dump a ton of money into it.
@@SwangBangCo you did fantastic with that build on the cheap but looks professional. ..keep these old bmw alive! My favorites e34 e30 .
I bought an E12 a few weeks back and cant wait to get it on the road! Cool seeing the build, hope the results are what you hoped for.
Nice I really like e12s and e21s it’s no where near where I envision it always work to be done
@@SwangBangCo what things do you wanna do? I want to put the 2 liter 6 cilinder in mine with some coilovers and bigger brakes.
@@luisitobardajibenitez8013 why would you want a 2 li my e12 came with a 3.0 6 m30
@@samlamp7343 I've since decided on a 3.5 m30

nicely build, bro.👍
awesome work mate! absolute credit to you!

Awesome work
Good work. Nice car!
Cool video
Awesome work bud
good job!
Springs And Wheels thank you
Nice job all round
Wow, that's glass!
Hab aufgehört zu gucken, als die Flex zum Einsatz kam... 😳
Dumme Amerikaner wissen nicht, wie man Autos restauriert.
@@R3RS2024 Naja restaurieren kann man dies eher nicht nennen
Alter diese ekelhaften felgen sind der grösste schrott
die Frontlippe kommt wegen der hässlichen US-Bumper gar nicht zur Geltung und was das Rumgehühnere mit diesen Felgen soll, hat sich mir auch nicht erschlossen. Tieferlegen durch kürzen der Originalfedern, kann man machen, sollte man aber nicht, dann lieber kurze Federn aus dem Zubehör....
@@R3RS2024 Der hat doch gesagt dass der macht dieses Arbeit mit wenig Geld. Eine Concourse costet viel Geld. And we may not know how to restore cars, but we for sure can win wars. Dumbass.
This build is sick. And the background music is the best I've heard on youtube
I appreciate you! Thank you
I would love one of these. Look nice parked next to the e30. 👌
So 🔥🔥🔥 my guy. Planning to do a 325i, but I like your 5 series!
Very Cool build dude!!! Im a big fan of those bbs mesh wheels you got, polished lips would ohh so good!!
I miss my 83 533i. Awesome cars. Really love the e28 chassis. I have built some sweet customer 5er's before and they have always been one of my favorites. With proper mods and 3 pedals and an lsd you can't go wrong with them. I would throw euro smilies on there and shadowline it, oh and you can drill out or shorten the three rear bumper pistons, and paint it body color or satin black. Bumper tucking is mandatory if you keep the OEM 'diving boards.' Before you painted, you could have filled in everything sheet metal wise where the bumper was if you aren't going to get some euro ones. I can't tell on my phone what color it is.... at first I thought Diamond black?? My screen protector is really scratched and yellowed out. The style 5's also looked good on there
Nice way to do it.. cutting the springs. 👍😉.. good ride quality i bet😉👍
Old school still the best ! ! !
Mohamed Ismail yessir
Shouldn’t be within 10feet of a car! Carnage
Yammie UK agreed. Slapped lipstick on a pig. Ive been wanting an e28 for decades. But would treat it with much more respect and care than that. Whew!
Gary Byler exactly that. What scares me is the amount of people applauding his work😱
Im definitely getting that Aplina spoiler for mine👌🏾💯💯
Great car men, very good job!!!
Maguslloret Munoz thank you
Very nice
Domen Stirn thank you
Awesome video! looking to do something similar with my e28.
Put the 533i badge Back on. The 533i is a euro version of the 5 series that came over here in limited numbers. Just so you know, that car is something special 👍
how many units arrived or how many were manufactured?

There never was a 533i in Europe.
Keep it up man! I have a similar 533 project here on the east coast.
Thanks man I appreciate it! E28s are the best bro
@@SwangBangCo Any new updates on your e28? I just put mine on air this weekend. www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=148130
You doing all that work…. Respect!
Looks like Temecula area
I’m getting a 528e as my first car and I’d love to do something like that to it. Simple and clean
Mark, leave the springs and ride characteristics alone and see how you like it. E28's are at or near their best left stock. A lot of the renowned E28 ride characteristic is derived from the higher sidewall height of original spec tires. Those sidewalls are part of the suspension. If you absolutely need to go to a bigger wheel size, try a 16" rim with 60 series rubber. It looks a lot better than the stock 15's and really fills the wells without rubbing, but you won't lose too much of the original ride characteristic.
One of the nice things about the E28 in standard configuration is the excellent ground clearance for a touring/sport sedan. I like my E28's exhaust system and air dam right where they are, attached to the car, not peeled off on a curb cut. I don't get flats either. I run 16's in summer and studded mud and snow 15's in winter in a rugged environment.
Ireland Engineering made a great SS aftermarket exhaust, not too loud, a nice, noble rumble that turns a head now and then. My system must be 15 years old and still sounds and looks as if new. Not sure if the system is still available.
Enjoy your 528. I have loved my '87 535is since 1999. My next upgrade will be Bilstein B-6's all around and fresh OEM springs in the rear, along with a refresh of the front bushings and center link, maybe the idler arm and tie rod ends while we are in there. The car is old, but all that stuff is still cheaper than car payments and new car insurance.
After owning the car for almost 2 months I totally agree with what your saying. I’m probably not going to do much with the considering it’s got over 200k miles and the body would need a lot of work before I started even doing anything else. The car handles bumps great and the feel through the wheel is great already. I also live on a dirt road that gets ruts and lots of mud in the spring so lowering my car would make it nearly impossible to get through it.
@@markwerner7297 Sounds like you know what mud season is all about. Low riders need not apply in this vicinity, and the ubiquitous razor sharp granite curbing around here is not kind to low profile wheel and tire setups.
Front and rear bushings are consumables on the E28's. Keep an eye on them. If your steering wheel shakes under heavy braking, the bushings are probably overdue. They aren't cheap, but they aren't crazy expensive either, kind of like a brake job. I am on my third set in 21 years.
I have an E34 3.5 liter engine stuffed in my E28, along with a outsourced short shift manual tranny. It's a nice, modest upgrade. It required some motor mount mods and one has to use the original fuel management for clearance purposes under the bonnet. Good to know, if you get that far with yours.
My dashboard "blew up" years ago. How about yours? The dash was a mess in 1999, when I bought the rig for $3500. I got a dash cover from Bavarian Autosport long ago. I hate looking under the cover. It's so sad under there. My E28 has always had to live out under the sun and stars, no garage. The sun is cruel. The car is beater chique.
I could use to replace every last door and side glass seal. The wind noise is getting ridiculous.
RA Melloh my cars almost completely stock except for some Hella halogen lights and a aftermarket radio. Paints seen way better days and more the wind noise is pretty bad in my car as well. Dash is pretty good but it is cracked in a few places, but it is kept in a garage now, but before the car was always kept outside as far as I’m concerned
Asp job sir👍🏼👍🏼🤘🏼
Buying a clean e28 535i on Monday I’m so fucking excited this is really inspiring for my build hope to post a vid like this a year or so from now
That’s awesome brother Early Congrats! It’s such an amazing car and so practical. Good luck on your build hopefully if time and space permit I can get my e28 back on the road
@@SwangBangCo what’s up with it right now ?
I watch this video from time to time to keep me motivated with my e28. Soon lol
Keep pushing fam!
Sick
Getting some budget 💕, love is a love.
Man it's a nice Video, I'm planning on taking an E28 myself! Please do cover some price breakdown for your restoration and maintenance on this vehicle! Just subbed! Thanks a lot bro! Nice car
Man I really appreciate the support, I’ll make that my next video I put up! I highly recommend you take on an E28, it was a different project car for me to take on so it was quite the learning experience but well worth it. I daily this car to work 70 miles a day and it a blast to drive and I’ll get at least 2-3 thumbs ups a week.
@@SwangBangCo appreciate your reply on my comment! I'll be waiting on your next Video bro! Can't go wrong with old Bimmer if you take care of them well 👍
와.. 진짜 멋있음
good bumpers
That’s nuts I have a dodge magnum AND a e28 and that’s you too haha
What are the odds it’s a random combo but they’re actually amazing cars
damn those US bumpers are ugly...they mess up the whole shark nose
Lol
To each their own, personally I love the diving boards, especially when painted black to match the trim.
It’s definitely grown on me, I’ve tried to find some decently priced euro bumpers but every one selling in my area have them priced way too high.
The bumpers are so cool! Kind of ALPINA trim, my choice also
Great work mate ! What’s the music ??? Need to know !!
Beauty bro! Got to say the federal spec bumpers are hideous though!! If it were mine I'd search for some European spec bumpers they are smaller and fit tighter to the body.
Yeah, I agree euro bumpers are definitely something i want to invest in. Currently working on finding a daily so I can Park the e28 and start tearing it down and redoing the Suspenion
Nice build man! But what seats do you have? Looks mint!
niiiiiice
I legit got same wheels like a month ago.
how did you get the wheels that colour?! Black plastic dip followed by the metallic metalizer ?
ID Webb yes that’s exactly what I did I posted a short video about it here
czcams.com/video/smZYZhOaOxk/video.html
Do you know what the rims you had on before you switched are called?
Who cares if its a budget build if its done tastefully , respect.
aceysaid10percent thanks bro
Dude crazy your from Sac right?? I was talking to that owner half a year I think, car wasn’t started for years right but he didn’t know why but you figured it out!! I wanted those old rims for my e23.lol Hey just wondering how you would charge to paint my e30? I can prep it and drive it up from sf. It’s currently rattle canned all straight panels. Keep up the bimmer vids. Tnx
Man it’s a 6 foot paint job lol
How was the fitment of the alpina front spoiler to the us bumpers
It was actually pretty spot on, order through #protuning I found them through eBay. I wish I painted a few more coats of black and clear on the lip cause the rock chips are taking a toll on the paint
How does your push button start work? My ignition switch just went out as well and that seems like a cool solution to the problem
It works well it still needs a key to put into the on position and just push the button and it cranks.
You basically tap into the ignition switch, I’d start by studying your vehicles schematic at the ignition switch. Identify the correct wires and the switch you order should give you some type of instructions on how to hook up your wires. If I remember correctly a ground, always hot, positive when in ignition position, ignition wire, and a relay. Super vague but hopefully you get the idea.
What size tires did u fit under the car ?
I really love the e28s height, what springs were they?
BLESSED Bavarian Autosport Lowering Springs and one coil was taken off all around
@@SwangBangCo Cut springs will never work well, and Bavauto springs aren't the best for an e28. Either do coilovers if you want the cars super low, or go with something like H&R, Spax, or BMW springs.
E34 rear bumpers should fit an e28 and it'd make it look better.
Great work man!
Are you serious?)) Every schoolboy can do like this)
Looks nice. But what about dependability snd safety??
Anybody knows what to do when the diesel pump is leaking? E28 524td. Already tried to replace some sealings but its still leaking. A new pump would cost me about 2-3k € tho..
I have a 83 533i and looked on Protuning website for the front lip and can't find it. Any help on finding it?

@@SwangBangCo Thank you -Your e28 is nice
Wow the u.s gov really fucked up the aesthetics with those bumpers. Hopefully you can change those. Nice job!
Skibum Wannabe I literally laughed out loud when I read this lol
Nice modificasi
Nice build tht alpina front bumper was pricey wasn’t it lol I’m looking for one for my E34 😏👍🏽
It was a knock off tbh lol
Why the lights and bumper stick out so much?
U.S. spec
The bumpers are larger for the us market
Very awesome change, dude where do you find the parts you need, low cost
eBay, Amazon, local auto parts stores, and pick and pull (junkyard)
Das war die mieseste "Restauration" die jemals gesehen habe. Federn abschneiden, Lackierung in einer Garage. Das geht gar nicht. Den Wagen hätte der TÜV in Deutschland sofort aus dem Verkehr gezogen. Schade um dan BMW.
For those who need a translation reading this comment I had to use google translate but TheCorresh said according to Google
That was the worst restoration ever seen feathers cut off, painting in a garage that's not the dare the tuv in Germany had immediately pulled out of the traffic. shame about dan bmw
danke für das feedback und die ansicht hoffentlich kommen diese videos immer noch auf 100.000 ansichten
My 533i is an '83. What size wheels and tires are you riding on that? I bought 15s because I cant find decent priced tires for the stock rims. They're metric fit, smh.
I'm in Oakland btw! Didnt realize your page was local aye
Sweet build. I have owned 13 e28s and 3 e21's. Love this stuff man. Give me a follow back and hit up my e21 vids. I like that your car is a 533 as well. Those are getting harder to come by. Thanks for saving it
Mr. Low Klasse thanks man will do you’ll see my sub in a second
How much did you cut your springs?
Chemist Productions too much!!! At first I was running I think 3 coils cut from the front and like 5 in the rear. It’s was right when I bought the car and just did it for fun. Now I run BavAuto lowering springs.
Charcoal gray??
Cut springs but fully paint the car?
LOL I got lowering springs in now, maybe one day I can get Coilovers or air suspension
last mod get rid of the hideous US bumpers, nice set of euro bumpers that beemer be set!
Ain’t that the truth lol
Класс
silver wheels much better than white- you were right to paint them back.
for the Do not cut it / a friend cut the spring In the processes he lost his front thees /emergency and a lot $$$
How much did you have to pay for this lip?
$160 shipped
I can't get used to your bumper combination
The U.S bumpers? One tucked the other diving board status.
I want a e28 but no one in my area sells it D:
Gotta driveway hunt
I want to restore a bmw how do i start this restoration is the most important thing in life now i want to make my dad happy whit his old car before hes gone
Look up the car and just look up restoration, and then slowly look at your car for what things it needs, just some research and this stuff will come out
@@fuckingallthesehoes3295 thank you
You want to buy another e28, I got a 86 335i
JesseM72 how much
I feel so sorry for this car! How can you do this with this car?
I think your rear springs are too low... it looks saggy...
Get euro spec bumper thay looks much beter
I agree!
How many mileage did it have
224,000 still lots of life in the motor just gotta get it back on the road been sitting since end of 2019
@@SwangBangCo thanks I am possibly going to buy an e28 tomorrow it has 284k miles and wasn’t too confident if it will completely die soon
How much are you paying if you don’t mind me asking? One of the first things you should do is a valve adjustment aside from the other maintenance stuff. The valve adjustment helps a ton!
@@SwangBangCo around $3.5k and thanks for the advice I will need all the advice I can get haha

Pleaseee put original BBS RIMS, these are ugly😁
Aweome vid and Great build!! You did a great job and went very far! I have a e28 project with a m52 swap build. still not running but your project gives me hope! great job
Thanks man I really appreciate it, got into this car not knowing anything about older BMWs and definitely very satisfying seeing the progress. Doing a m52 swap is something I want to do down the line, I have never done a motor swap before so it will take a lot of research before I jump into that project. For now I’m going to try to get 400k+ out of this m30. Andthank you again for the sub I really appreciate you support the channel.
give a beautiful E28 to random people, and they will start with cutting the springs...
messyFTW lol
Cut springs ? H&R springs are under 200$ ?! That's just barbaric
I have BavAuto springs now thanks for the view
È bello vedere recuperare un auto , ma a suon di tacconate proprio no . 😔
Please get rid of the bumper car bumpers
Great job done!
P.S. - We have few parts for E28
