I’m planning on coming home a lot lighter and equipped with some tools to better move forward, making some big decisions about my future.

    My 1st car when i got my full license at 16 was a 87 525e but someone wrote it off, so brought a 86 528i off a farm converted it to manual/swapped in a 3.5 an now have had that car about 20 years sadly been sitting around for 7 years now as pulled engine out to do some performance upgrades ended up with a head injury an never got back to work so never had money to fix it (the spare engines i brought always ended up with problems) So i hope one day to have my dream finished (especially since it was about 70k to build originally for what i wanted but thanks to parts being more available that's dropped to about half)
    So as an old BMW lover appreciate you doing the right thing and giving it a good home :)

    I had 3 E28's back in the day when you could buy them for £2-300. The 525 I had used to cut out if you gave it full throttle because the air flow meter flap used to stick wide open. Many a time I had to pop the bonnet jump out and smack the top of it. My mates missus backed into it and broke all the front lights in her Scirroco, it's strange I loved that car but I can't for the life of me recall what I did with it.

    Rocking Johnny's BMW back to life was so emotional for me. I actually cried, lads. What a beautiful video ❤

    This car should stay exactly as Johnny modified it, it just needs a refresh. In memory of Johnny. I can't wait to see her in perfect condition at the Nürburgring.

    I agree with everyone else, this was a great video from Taylor.
    At first when Taylor was part of AutoAlex, I thought he was childish and just a bit too silly, but I’ve grown to love the man.
    It’s so fun watching him annoy the team and be a silly as possible, but he also makes great professional videos like this.
    Keep up the amazing content guys!

    I live in Great Yarmouth and never thought it would be featured on this channel. Beautiful car and a really cool history. Never deserved to be hidden away in a garage in Great Yarmouth lol

    Out of the whole autoalex channel after he left carthrottle the way Taylor has emerged from occasional side kick to actual TV standard presenter has been great to follow

    I enjoy Taylor's videos on the V2 channel as much as I enjoy the videos with all 3 on the main channel. They're completely different from each other and equally brilliant. Don't change a thing. Keep going!

    A great car due to be back on the road. Even though it wasn’t in the uk i think, cars like this are very rare especially if contain oem service history and factory specifications that wasn’t provided in the uk, making the vehicle a rare factor within the limited car community, so it can be a vehicle that everyone had but it can also mean noone else has apart from them people

    Great video. Please have more of these videos to include the E28 M535i and the iconic E21 323i Aplina. Best of the 80s in UK!

    Usually an old car is just a piece of rusty metal (miata owner here 😅) but with that history behind... it becomes something much more significant. Keep up the good work Taylor, I'm excited to see how the restauration goes. Cheers!

  • @neallewis1
    @neallewis1 11 месяцев назад +1

    Lovely! John needs a ring lap i that when its restored.
    Makes me want my old 1986 E30 318 coupe that I abandoned when I got a company car in 2000.

    Even now, so many years after the E28 launched, it's outclassing current BMWs...and it's now even close. BMW used to be fucking amazing, and the E28 is one of the ultimate expressions of that. Best of luck with it Taylor. I hope it treats you well.
