BMW doesn't make them like they used to... so we did! For CHEAP, too.

It's been six months since Anthony got his E28, and we've made a TON of progress on it. Importantly, though, that progress has been super budget-friendly. We wanted to showcase how well a car can turn out while staying budget conscious... and we had a ton of fun doing it.

Honestly I really enjoyed this budget conscious build, it’s a bit of a departure from what we usually see here but in all honesty I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say we definitely enjoy the hell out of Thrifty Mike.
Anthony does such a phenomenal job behind the camera-it's great to see him receiving so much support for his first project! Dude's got himself a badass ride (and some badass colleagues)!
He’s a talented guy, through and through.
This is the real OG Stanceworks. Love these type of videos.
Nice to see an episode that's accessible to us mortals, but for the record absolutely F wiring, especially audio.
The radio was worse than the fuse box
It's seriously easy. If you can run fuel lines, you can wire a stereo. It's power, power, earth, and speakers. You can even wire the speakers backwards and they'll still work!
I rarely get to do it, since it's a set and forget thing, but I love car audio installations.
It's one of the only car things that mostly goes without unexpected setbacks. If you get all the connectors and harnesses in advance, the worst thing to happen is you cut the wrong wire and need to pull out the soldering iron and heat shrink tubing.
Rarely you get day-ruining, morale-shattering happenings like with the rest of the car stuff. 😅
@@jesuschristiscallingyou953 I've only once bought the plugs. That was because as I get older I get lazier. But I used to always make my own plugs. Its how we were taught in the 90s to do it. You use insulated ferrules and when you crimp it with the right crimper it makes a micro pin that plugs in to almost any plug. Except Deutsch. I knew a guy who once he'd finished used to make a dam with aluminium tape and pour thermosetting plastic in, but most people just used electrical tape. I worked in audio long enough that I could pull apart a car and tell you who had been in there before. There was only 10 or 20 really good audio guys and they all had a signiture style. Good times.
yeah, accessible if you have multiple mechanic friends and a bunch of spare parts lying around 😂 this would still cost 15 grands to copy if you factor in labor.
Congratulations to Anthony. His magic behind the camera is rewarded. The videography of the channel is great, even for such a basic build.
Feels like an old school SW forum post converted to TH-cam. Love it!
I miss the old day forum content, people all over the world sharing their builds.
Drilling out those bumper shocks bring back memories. Back in 1995 I drilled out the shocks in my first E30 (1987 325e) and I can still taste the fluid from the first drill. The other 3 were done drilling through a piece of cardboard to act as a shield saving me the spray in the face.
Roasting Khalil's body work was hilarious
Any time someone says the word "unhinged" to describe the way someone is doing something, I can't help but at least giggle. 😂
Mike, episodes like this are great!
A bit of every day guy kinda stuff
My wife just said, "You'd think you were the owner of that Car" based on how much I was smiling and enjoying this vehicle. I am not an E28 fan, so to say, but I can appreciate any and all BMW models and this was a great video t watch.
Big grats to Anthony, this is an awesome build and an awesome first project. Fun to watch. Please keep us updated when the final touches make there way here.
This was a step by step guide to everyone's first 80's BMW. It's like reliving a nostalgic moment.
The BMW 535 of this generation is one of the most beautiful car ever made. BMW 6 series was close behind. I had the incredible chance to drive my uncle's 535is with manual. It was absolutely incredible and will remain one of my favorite car memory ever for life. Thanks André.
28:28 It is an incredible sensation. It's a peaceful experience of unadulterated satisfaction, relief, accomplishment and giddiness.
Words cannot describe it! My first (and last time) I got new wheels, tires and suspension was in '03 on my first car, a '94 Celica ST, but I still remember it fondly. 🙃
Love the budget build theme! That's where I am with my car - saving pennies, shopping used, looking for deals. It has taken longer than I would like but it is slowly becoming the car I want it to be. And I get to drive it every day along the way.
That thing looks awesome! Congrats to Anthony!!
Simple and clean. How every first build should be. And to have you and the boys next door there for support? Anthony couldn't have had a better scenario for his first go!
#CommentForTheAlgorithm
We briefly had an E28 535i when I was younger but it was a complete basketcase. It was rusting out terribly everywhere. Also of interest, the former owner had arthritis in her hands and had her mechanic delete the lock-out button on the auto transmission. That allowed for some fun abuse of the car before it ultimately went to the wrecker. Reverse to drive burnouts are neat in an auto, haha.
Even tho this car doesn’t have all the visual mods installed, it looks awesome fr
The problem with the fuse boxes starts with the use of fuses with aluminium.the different metals ( copper in the fuse box.) creats galvanic corrosionbetween the fuse an the blades holding them.
I can watch this content all day long
This car definitely has the right size wheels this time because I don’t think 17s look good on this car but the 16s with the chunky tires so good
Ha! As both a “newer” Honda Accord stick-shift daily-driver, and an enthusiast owner of all things “3-pedal German cars”-I absolutely approve! 😁
Best 5 series design of all time....
Amen!
E39???
Awesome Mike, thanks for sharing!! Anthony, gorgeous ride!!!
A cool car which even in Germany extremly underrated . Love to see that there are some cool friends in the US of this solid German Car . Have fun with it and always a safe ride . Greetings from Germany :-)
One of my favourite episodes in a while. As previous said, one for us mortals.
awesome episode. reminded me of the start of my car journey back in the mid 80s. keep up the great work and I am looking forward to watching the rest of Anthony's journey!
really interesting how much the US was concerned with pedestrian safety in the 80s looking at these bumpers. I mean BMW could have given more thought about the design, but now you have way too high trucks and the people slicer 5000 - aka cybertruck.
It was more about low speed impact with other cars
It was more about purposely making it ugly imo. But, this started in late '73 with the 2002. I sold my last set of euro bumpers a year ago. I should have kept that '70 I had.. I'll never get over it.
Pedestrian safety is done with the design of the front bonnet and angles between it and the windshield.
Any car will break both your legs no matter what bumper you put on it, head trauma on the other hand can be fatal and that happens on the windshield.
@@valensi1988 It's all bs. If you get by a car you're fucked, I don't care how they design it.
@@ttt69420 you might not care (now), but there are quite smart people working on this stuff. A broken ankle or bone might heal. The brain not so much
I love this kind of episodes. Make BMW great again!
Love episodes like this. Feels like we’re all in the shop on the journey with you guys
Bumper tuck on my 86 325es...did it by myself, and didn't require bashing into a wall. If you use as 3/16" bit after the initial 1/8" hole is drilled...can then compress the shocks by hand.
Man, you always deliver really cool uploads. This is something anyone could do with some tools space and a very limited budget. These old Beemers are solid platforms for an entry level home garage guy to learn on with parts accessibility and heaps of style and variations to choose from. Awesome job as always!
Superb work boys! Love the garage vibes. PS. Templin is a real one. His work is immaculate.
yes..i enjoyed the process.. can't wait to see more..
My Dad had an 88 535is. My memory of this car was driving it from Florida to a BMW Octoberfest in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. An absolute pleasure to drive,
Love it. What a great way to get into modified motors.
Nice episode and sweet first project for him. Love the relatability of it. Anthony sure has some dope friends.
I super-enjoyed the process :) Congrats to Anthony! There are some awfully-decent re-cover kits for E28 sport seats.
Such a beautiful car, love these old BMWs
Another interersting video. Love the E28, and this budget build
Such a good and extremely relatable episode. The roundel swap brought a tear to my eye. Well done.
The bumper hack is so wow. I’m so amazed, never thought of that. I wanna do it on my e24 now lol
Love it! I have an E28 525i euro. Same radio PITA swap out. Love the fuse box swap, might need to do this next. Along with coilovers and AC upgrade.
Solid episode.
Solid wheel and tyre set up.
Solid car.
As per usual, but a refreshing change!
👌👌👌
I… did not use insulated butt connectors, and, also staggered the connections with the heat shrink tubing to not make a big bulge in my stereo harness I built for my Miata. It most definitely takes more thought on which wires to cut longer and shorter, and which corresponding wires on the other side are cut shorter and longer, respectively.
That air dam makes a world of difference. Obviously wheels and coilovers make a huge difference also, but the air dam is right up there near the top when it comes to transforming the look of any car.
The universe has a great sense of humor. Much like Anthony, I have a newer (2019) Civic. Unlike Anthony, I may not willingly be parting with it, as it was in an accident (everyone was okay, which is the important part) and it might get totaled. If so, I'm considering a 1992 190e, which is my affordable dream car. I've found a few pretty nice examples that just need some TLC and a good going over to make sure they'd also be a reliable daily driver.
I'm happy to see he's got a great car that he loves. The man does fantastic camera work and he's gotta be a great guy if he's working with you.
KK’s “i luv u mom” tattoo was so wholesome 😌
Looks killer. Massive upgrade.
Excelente episodio como siempre !
I thought for a second that you were going to put those tires that came with the wheels on the car. Thank you for putting tires on that fit the rims.
Mike, I used a super fine plastic "polish" as a cleaner for my 2002's grille and it worked awesome, the product is Vuplex and did a great job of the nearly 50 year old plastic grille thats much like those E28 ones.
The almost-finished product is beautiful. Love those cars so much.
TBH this is the kind of content I love of this channel. Regards from Germany.
lovely car, great episode, definitely needs to change those bumpers though!
Looks so sick
CLEAN AF BOII!!!
As always thanks for the e28 content! Can't stop loving the love you give to our cars and shhhh dont tell everyone about the bargain prices on the m30 cars haha, its the last good cheap bmw left!!!
Also an easy cheap win is to change out the brown faded windshield lock strip to fresh chromey goodness, hope Anthony has as much fun as we all did with our first e28s!
Sorry for that but : f yeah ! from approximately 1:37 to 1:50 the setting sun in the background and the color of the building+fabric underneath are amazing ! so yeah cheers Anthony, and thank you for these kind of frames please
Having driven plenty of E28's and E34's along with E30/E36/E46, I gotta say the whole steering box vs. steering rack debate is largely overblown. A steering box car with a good alignment and fresh steering components (tie rods, center link, idler arm) drives really well, and when cruising on the highway it's nice to have something that's a little more forgiving on-center. You don't need a crazy 1.5 turn rack for a daily driver, that just makes everything jerky. Having tracked cars with steering boxes, they tighten up quite nicely when you're in a turn.
I love how we as car people will get rid of a good daily and build a car that we have to watch out for " blowing the oil pan off" welcome to the club Anthony
love the e28 content!
Congrats Anthony, looks great!!!
fun episode, look forward to more content with it.
I am also a HUGE e28 fan. Some day... Some Day. That fuse box upgrade is SO cool.
nice work bruv...I was agast watching the euro headlights go in with rusty looking rear parts..hope they got cleaned and painted to truly make it wprthy
Keeping it simple is the best
Great upgrades like we all do out here. That's a really nice car.
I'm not exactly an old BMW fan, but this is mint!!!!
Hell, that looks amazing!
good job man 👍💪
Excellent project. Do coilovers help reduce body roll?
I'd definitely daily drive an old BMW if my boss encouraged me and was the local E28 guru!
Loved it :)
The transformation was nothing short of spectacular. Are you guys planning on installing at least an mtech rear spoiler to match?
Great video, more videos this style on the channel please, OG Stanceworks vibes on this
I installed more than a handful of stereos in the past and definitely used the plastic crimps lol
Nice work! Need to add a rear bumper (and maybe sideskirt) that matches the height of the front bumper. Looks a little off.
Turbo, MaxxECU and an 8HP would be sick! 🔥
beauty!
Nothing wrong with that wiring bro, been using those sleeves for years and work great.
I prefer the heat shrink buts so I can just heat them after crimping and call it good.
Yup I'm familiar with that hydraulic oil explosion.
Man, am i crazy for actually liking this front US bumper + air dam combo better than the EU bumper? The US bumper on its own is hideous, but with the airdam under it... I don't know, it looks right.
Some people like the diving boards
It’ll never stop blowing my mind seeing videos in California and people are in flannels and sweaters. In Washington state as soon it’s 60+ I put all that into storage 😂
Thats a nice 5 serie 😎👍
I would have been interested in seeing how you wired the euro lights 😂😂
Are’s were a score. Fuse box upgrade not fun and I’ve never done an e28 radio install either 😵💫
Love a basic transformation and the bonus DBS chilling in the parking lot. lol
I alway use heat gun to bring back black faded plastic trim bits to juicy newish fresh look and that lasts for years. 👍
Paint the lower lip black on the airdam... It looks good, I did it on a friend's. Cut those tail pipes!
🎉🎉🎉i had a 850ci .i enjoyed it indeed.
Man that thing looks sick and for $7K you can’t beat it especially with free labor from friends!
US guys getting Euro specs, Here in EU we love US spec car parts :D what a crazy thing. Also, if you can do oem bbs not ehm, those
It's like when your parents force you to eat broccoli as a kid. You hate it when you don't have a choice.
Yup, especially us spec volvo fronts, hot shit over in Europe.
But the US can keep their bumpers 🤮
I watched you build a wild Ferrari. I'm not gonna lie I'm kinda shocked about the car stereo situation. 🤣🤣
damn the 398s fit well. haven't seen a 16x9 pair before in 5x120 though? always thought they were 16x9.5 and 5x120.65 for corvette fitment, where i got a set of hres in that spec
Coming from the Honda world of wire tucks, "bumper tuck" is not a term I'd ever thought I'd hear 😂
good content
I still have that e28 lsd if Anthony needs one.
