Just saying hello

same here Paul.

I keep thinking of selling my e28 but its such a great drive, and bags of character.

Did you do all the mods yourself? your car looks great.

Hello Paul

If I can get mine looking anything like that, I'll be happy.

I know they will but what the heck! I think the previous owner had heavy alpine ice, but I have a sony head unit, 6x9's and a 12" sub in the boot - Not very heavy, but makes enough noise on tight budget and two kids!! I wont sell her yet, but next mod is 18" M-Parallel alloys in April!

Paul

Well, the sub is in a box, sat in the boot at the back, with amp mounted underneath the ridge at the top of the boot. The sub box slid nicely behind it, which I think is more luck than judgement! Will take some interior pics and post them as soon as I can!

The interior is standard recaro motorsport cloth interior, very good condition for 18 yr old, possibly been retrimmed by a previous owner, but no rips or tears but door cards could do with retrimming.

Paul

Love those sport seats Paul. did they cost a bomb? did you sell the comfort seats?

I take it you get some serious bass from the sub. Enough to shatter shop windows when you cruise the high st?

Yes hiab, both of my crappy 735's have moonroofs. be sure to check for rust in the metal frame around the glass insert. rust here is guaranteed.

Did you fit the headlining with the sliding trim panel to match the moonroof?

How did you fix the Climate panel? they always cause bovver.

Have you tried the USA Bimmerboard E23 board. there are some 745 owners there.

Please let me know if you are breaking any of your 735's. always needing bits.

£350!!! bargain! why was it so cheeeeeeeep?

all the moonroofs I have come across have rust. Will you remove your roof panel to fix the rust? I don't see how you could fix the rust with the roof in situ.

The previous owner had let it get into a bit of a state (colour coded shadowline bumpers attached to car with filler and looked hideous), speedo and temp guage not working (which I found out to my cost - £100 for second hand 2.8 lump which took me 3 months to find) but not too worried about the moonroof at the minute - rust not too bad at the moment. Also needed some welding under front n/s floorpan and above the rear axle. All done and looking a lot better

Paul

I blew the head gasket big time on the other lump which is still in my garage. Have been tempted to strip it down and have the head checked out but will probably do so at a later stage.

Paul

I think Hiab has 2 745's and 2 735's. The 735's are a Sapphire Blue EX and a bronze-beige SE or EX. they are for sale or for parting out.

Hiab has a major car hoard incl an M5 Touring, a little dickie bird told me.

Hiab's fave car of all time is an E12 518 automatic. 0 to 60 in 4 minutes (more if going uphill or carrying fat passengers)
