A low-mileage Euro-spec classic that brings timeless BMW engineering back to life

An original and the cleanest 1982 BMW 528i has reached the market, and it is among the top surviving examples of the E28 platform. This car is a foundation for the first-generation M5, and the legendary status of this car has been given due to its powerful 3.5-liter inline-six engine. If you talk about a racehorse, this 1982 BMW 528i has the same bloodline.

Originally sold in France, this model is up for sale on ‘Bring a Trailer.” This human-made horserace has a stronger-compression M30 engine, and it offers an enhanced compression ratio compared to U.S. automobile counterparts. It also features elegant European bumpers and extremely classy yellow French headlights. You won’t find all these details in the U.S. vehicles. Moreover, the odometer displays just 15K kilometers, which is equivalent to nearly 10K miles.

The owner who brought this car on Bring a Trailer looks to be highly meticulous in preservation. At the time of acquiring possession, they had replaced all non-original parts, like Kenwood door speakers, with genuine BMW ones. You know this car didn’t come with AC installed, but this car also offers a factory AC unit as a bonus.

The E28 5-Series is an overlooked machine in the legacy of BMW. It has a lively spirit of the genuine 2002tii. Its 2.8-liter inline-six generates a strong 170 horsepower, which leads to high-revving drive. The E28 feels tiny and compact next to today’s modern 5-series, and the vibe of driving it along a winding two-lane road with its wide, open windows is a truly enjoyable experience.

The car has low mileage, which makes this car to be reserved only for particular occasions. Compared to modern BMWs, this unique model is simpler and undoubtedly more reliable. Moreover, its inline-six engine is easier to maintain as it doesn’t need more valve adjustments.

Here, German engineering is at its finest. With no reserve on the auction, this elegant 528i is selling to the highest bidder.

The auction officially ends on June 25—don’t miss out.
