It is an E28.

I had an E28 535is last year. It was a fun weekend cruiser and absolutely gorgeous, but by no means fast. The thought of an efficiency-tuned engine and gearing in that car sounds positively awful.

Its painfully slow compared to modern standards. If you recall though, back in the 80's that was a pretty quick machine.

There is a conversion to make it a super eta, but this applies to the 325e, but I imagine that it would transfer over to that with no issue with the right parts. In fact they made a "super eta" in 1988, with a "I" head.

But if your into turbo's and poo poo, the eta can take retarded amounts of boost.

It's a little unclear about whether the car is actually put together or not, it seems. I wouldn't mind a bug like this, but not sure I'd want to pay $2,500 if it's still in pieces (mostly because I don't have a place to work on a car at the moment).



I would buy this in a heartbeat and DD it, unironicly of course.

I thought the Coyote didn't fit well enough into the fox body cars to be reasonable. I mean, it fits, but it's kinda tight. And if you're gonna put a Coyote in a fox body, make it a Mark VII or a Fairmont wagon.



That's alot of money and fabrication, but it would be amazing.

Engine: 3 Cylinder
Transmission: Manual 5 Speed
Average MPG: 47MPG
Interior Condition: 7/10
Exterior Condition: 7/10
The Good: Custom Geo Truck, water tight, turns heads, stays warm inside, great for hauling tools, or whatever and getting great gas mileage. lots of new parts, to many to list, nice kenwood stereo and kenwood speakers. bench seat makes it feel way roomier, very comfy and fun to drive, fully functional cobra CB with a loud PA system. radio shack radar detector. new tires, brakes good, new wipers, battery, oil changed every month on the 1st. I only run royal purple full synthetic oil and premium fram oil filters. dont want to sell but i am moving east and need 4 wheel drive. passed final emissions test recently. and got rid of the catalytic converter and put new exhaust on it and gained 2 mpg. new radiator and electric radiator fan.
The Bad: Small oil leak, clutch needs adjustment. needs new hood, drivers and passenger door, both doors work fine, just dont look to pretty, both lock, windows work, ect. also needs drivers fender. can replace these parts for you if you want to pay, also willing to paint and fix mechanical problems for extra cost. could use a new carpet kit and door panels but those are also easy fixes.
Asking: 1250 obo, or trade for small truck, 4wd MANUAL TRANS ONLY. or a 87 or newer bronco. can fix if something needs work and also willing to throw in cash on a deal.


Looks like I know what I'm buying.
(seriously, look at all of the pictures on that listing, it's all gold.)

Don't miss the radio shack radar detector, or the PA system. Or the "only selling because I'm moving east" followed by "trade for a small 4WD/manual truck or 87 bronco"
