I currently have one of each - an '85 E28 and an '89 E34.

The E28 is a lowly Euro/Aus market only 520i (M20, 2.0 inline six) and the E34 is a 535i 5-speed with LSD, factory Recaro/Sport seats and a few other interesting options. I picked them both up for a song and have been stockpiling conversion parts. The E28 is a gem, a true survivor, yet the E34 is a bit scruffy and a great organ donor.

In August, I will be removing the drivetrain from both cars and fitting the M30B35 (and the Motronic 1.3) to the E28, along with the 5-speed and swapping the LSD into the E28's 3.9:1 R&P. I have a genuine M-Technik bodykit waiting for it and will be re-trimming the interior. I have a set of coilovers to go in, too. Will part out the E34 as I go. So many parts are interchangable. I'm harvesting brakes, trailing arms, cooling system, everything. Tempted to try to retro-fit the E34's ABS to the E28 also...

This will be my 3rd E28 - I simply love these cars.
