My new to me BMW

[BMW628]

I just purchanced my fatherinlaws 1982 628 csi. He is the second owner bought in 1985 from a man in Germany, then brought to the states. I feel I got a great buy at $5000.00.
Very clean car with 102000 miles. Not many of these around if any at all.

A unique 6 and very rare. You should get much enjoyment from it. I'm trying to obtain a 633csi with about 130k miles on the clock. Cheers!

I'd say that's a pretty wise $5K investment! BeYOOtiful. You should get a very fun ROI.

Congrats!

For starters I'm installing a Super sprint exhaust. Looking for some 16" rims and maybe a mild body kit for the sides and back. Other than some miner mods it's staying as is. The color, racing orange, is the best.

How far do you want to go. When looking look at e24 chassis. Here are two sites I use for parts. http://www.bavauto.com/shop.asp#undefined
http://www.bmpdesign.com/
Hope this helps. I have done alot a research so If you need help feel free to ask.
The 628 is a Euro only model. Not sure about value I payed 5 grand but bought from my inlaw. Got the son inlaw special.

i just downloaded pics of by car on my computer in my pictures. how do i put them on a post

[BMW628]

Do post reply then up by the smiley face, the paper clip click on that. Browse your computer and upload, It took me alittle time to figure out but if I can doit anyone can.

[Remmizo]

That '6' design is still my favourite BMW. Just a classic, beautiful shape. I often wonder if you could somehow shoe-horn an M3 motor and a manual tranny into the engine bay. I know the cost would be stupid but this would be a project of lust and not resale value. Maybe a 5.5 ltr?

that is exactly what i want to do. the engine conpartment is definetly big enough. but what i did find out is that obviously you need to make new engine mounts, the m3 computer,ecu, and all of the electronics from the m3. and trust me if i was rich id already be done.

cool thanx and here it is>>>

[BMW628]

Nice ride, looks like it doesn't need much but looks can be deceiving. I need to upgrade the suspension on mine.:thumbup:

[bigmtxkid]

well, all it needs is a new exaust. but i wanted to add more. oh yeah and the front brakes are sticking a little bit

[99flhr]

I personnally would never put a body kit on it... it's nicer original :thumbup:

Amen brother!

I really like the supersprint but took a little curesing to mate it up to the catalytic. But worth it.

[BMW628]

Amen brother!
I never planned on doping a full body kit just some pieces to match the front original air dam. Look here at the racing aerodynamics.. http://www.bavauto.com/shop.asp

the muffler is farely new but the exaust underneath is pretty much shot. the car sounds like a track car with the exaust the way it is, if it were up to me i'd leave it but the thing is is up here we have the inspection laws and this wont cut it. but if it doesn't sell in the next month then i am going to put the header and exaust without all the converters and crap, just staight up power.
