1982 BMW 5-Series 528e Description

THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner at NO RESERVE is this classic 1982 BMW 528e sedan!
Finished in "Lapisblau" over black, this 36 year-old classic E28-chassis BMW features a great running 2.7 liter inline six cylinder "ETA" engine mated to the desirable 5 speed manual transmission. While the currently non-working odometer shows 182,500 miles, the estimated true miles is over 200k. This 528 sports 16" Schnitzer wheels, Recaro-type cloth sport seats, electric windows and electric sunroof, Momo steering wheel and newer stereo.This unique appreciating classic BMW is being sold with clean and clear California title, current California registration and, offered here at NO RESERVE,it s a good value for less than the cost of the sales tax alone on a new base model three series!

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this 1982 BMW is in fair condition overall. Unlike many of the other offerings past and present, this car is NOT 99.99% rust-free. Yes it is a California car but it has been parked near the coast which has caused deterioration to what appears to be the original Lapisblau paint. There are many quarter sized surface bubbles on the roof and hood, one isolated corrosion hole at the bottom of the right side a-pillar, chipping and peeling chrome wheel finish, along with other nicks, scratches and cosmetic blemishes. Also of note, one fog lamp and antenna are inop and one hood grille piece is missing. Overall this is a good "starter car" with a still nice stance and a powerful presence.

THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this 1982 BMW is in somewhat tattered condition overall with sport steering wheel and seats, original door panels, heat cracks on the dash, decent original headliner and working gauges, lights and horn. Other miscellaneous imperfectionsinclude intermittent rear windows and sticky sunroof, blinkers inop, driver seat torn, hvac inop, and other worn and torn items. There are a few extra parts in the trunk which also includes an empty factory tool kit.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1982 BMW starts easily and runs VERY well with good power and nice raspy exhaust note. The suspension is very tight, the braking is excellent and straight. The clutch is at the end of its life but perfectly driveable gently. Included in the sale of this car is a new in the box clutch kit.All in all this is a still solid first-year E28 sedan with the desirable 5 speed stick.
