Mike Burroughs' '85 535i : Resurrected

One of our staff members, Mike Burroughs, has brought his once-thought-dead E28 back to life.

Here’s a bit of history-

Mike bought this E28 in November of 2007- and went quite out of the way to do so. From Nashville, TN, Mike set out to South Carolina to trade his ’89 325i for the 535i you see before you.

No pictures exist of it as it was when he got it home, but the following morning he had her cleaned up and sitting on some Borbet Type As:

The start of the adventure.

It wasn’t long before the car was sitting on Ground Control Coil-overs:

Gettin lower.

Gettin' lower.

… and that’s where the “normal” mods stopped. Mike soon followed up his drop with a complete re-design of the car.

Between a rusted hood, some WIDE HRE 504s (17×9.5 et-9 and 17×10.5 et+5), green bumpers and a custom made roof-rack, the car took on a totally new attitude. Of course, the same day the car was posted online, Performance BMW magazine hopped on the chance to do a feature.

Rust still isnt a crime.

Of course Mike wanted to keep it “fresh”, so he swapped back to his black hood, removed the rack, and picked up some gold RS198s.

And then of course some highlighter-yellow RZs-

RC-car, anyone?

And lastly, back to the HREs with a cleaned-up look:

Sleek.

And then, while on loan to someone else, the car met it’s demise

The End...

The End...

Or did it?

What’s next? Only Mike knows.
