About this car

A manual E28 528i, the strong-selling six-cylinder middle ground of the range, and a rare survivor in largely original condition. It is finished in silver with blue cloth trim.

The car has had three owners from new and has been in the same family since 1986, with the current keeper owning it since 1995. A new custom-made exhaust has been fitted recently.

It needs work. The seller suspects a failed head gasket, and the price has been cut from £11,999 to reflect that. The speedometer does not work, so the mileage is unknown and is not stated, though the seller believes it is modest given how little the family used its cars. A project for an enthusiast.
