I know this is not available to anyone here but it looks like a very clean example in Norway. (~$24,000 FYI)

A few pics and really nice to see the underside restored like that --

That car is better than new!

I've owned 3 BMW daily drivers. An e28, e34, and e39. My favorite was the '88 e28 528e (super eta) 5 speed. the right size, great seating position, big greenhouse, nimble...and even with the detuned motor it felt quicker than the two others (but probably wasn't).

Wow... that car sets the standard! Very nice.

I bought my '88, 535i in December 2018 with 60,000 original miles. It's my daily driver and I average over 1000 miles a month. After some teething pains, it is very sound; doesn't leak or burn any oil, plenty of power, and hardly a day goes by without someone giving it a hard look look, or commenting on it. If you can find an unmolested one with low miles, I recommend one.

Hi Ed,

Very nice 5 series indeed.....and low mileage! The owner I bought my coupe from also had a 5 that he bought new with 220,000 miles so I know you have plenty of driving left in that car :)

The car for sale has I think 240kms on it for those counting.

Thanks,

Mo

That was the plan, Mo. I'm in this car for less than $10K, even after swapping the auto for a 5 speed and completely updating the AC system. It's like a new car and has a LOT of life left. Insurance is cheap, and upkeep is so simple. I kept my eye out for several years...passing on most cars with over 200,000 miles. The interior is spotless...it sat in a garage for over 12 years after a divorce. It's now got new belts, hoses, brakes, fuel pumps, all fluids, some electrical stuff...

I wish it had about 50-100 more ponies, but I'm happy with it. It's bone stock.

Very cool Ed,

That seems like a great car to enjoy for its simplicity.....I would agree keeping it stock will allow you to enjoy it like a new car -- One of the best more civilized BMW's IMHO.

Stay in touch,

Mo
