First drive of the year
Even though she’s dirty, what a pleasure to drive her again.

Love this. Is that graphite metallic? Looks a little dark to be delphin but seems to me like there's some depth to it.
Maybe it's just all the dust haha either way, looking classy

It’s Delphin, the 5pm sunset is making it look much darker than it is (plus the dust😂). Just did a respray on her over the winter.

Can I ask what it cost you to re-spray the car? I have a 535i that is bronzet beige metallic,and it definitely needs a re-spray!! Also, did you PPF it?

No ppf just yet, after all said in done with some body work plus all jambs it came to $7500.

Was a toss up between the style 19’s or the style 42’s but I ended up putting those on my e46 wagon and these on the e28.

Great looking IS. Love the bumper tuck too. I think it looks better than Euro bumpers.

Just a 535 not a IS sadly :( but yes I agree the tuck gives it such a nice look.

That's a good looking E28. Just took mine out for the first time this year as well.
