For sale here is my 1985 BMW 528e. It is burgandy on black with a 5 speed manual tranny. 65,000 original miles on a rust free body.

When I began my search for an e28, I did so with two cirtieria in mind: 1) the car must have 75,000 miles or less. 2) car must have a manual transmission. I passed on more rust buckets and projects than I could keep track of. On the flip side, I passed on some stellar examples which would be hard to replace but what transpired from my perserverance was this immaculately maintained, low mile, mechanically sound, e28.

I began replacing all the necessary parts. The following parts have been replaced within the last six months.

Suspension work:
-replaced control arms
-replaced tie rods and assemblies
-replaced center drag link
-replaced stabilizer links
-replaced all four strut mounts, shocks and bump stops with Boge Turbo Gas shocks
-replaced wheel bearings and hub assemblies

Brake work:
-replaced both brake sensors
-replaced all four brake rotors, seals, hoses, pads

Mechanical work:
-replaced Intake Boot
-replaced throttle housing
-replaced idel valve
-replaced upper and lower radiator hoses
-replaced timing belt, drive belt
-replaced water pump
-replaced valve cover gasket
-replaced distributor cap and rotor
-replaced engine fuel lines
-resealed cam shaft and crank shaft seals
-installed 27 ECU Performance Chip (D'sylva Chip)
-replaced heater blower motor
-replaced RPM and TCP sensors
-replaced cataltic converter
-replaced fuses
-replace stock wheels with e34 basketweaves and Goodyear Triple Tread tires
-serviced the tranny with RedLine Fluid.

Other work:
-replaced shifter knob and floor mats
-replaced right rear window and tr (original window cracked after it came off the track)
-replaced all four weather strip window giudes and door seals
-replaced the trunk seal weather strip
-added a Pfeba rear spoiler

The interior is spotless. 1 small crack in an otherwise spotless dash and seats that exemplify true luxury for 1985. Has a Sony Head Unit CD played and brand new Poineer Speakers. I am having the hood repainted because of major stone chips, a quarter's diameter of rust and half dollar's diameter acorn dent. It should be completed within the next two weeks.

I am asking $8,000 obo for this car. More pictures car be had upon request.
Thank you.

Grey Phox,

thanks for the kind words. I have some plans for a new BMW project as soon as I can move this one. Not leaving the group, just changing directions.

It is a really fun car. Drive her any where with no issues!

AC compressor just had a recharge. At that time I also replaced the heater/drier and expansion valve. The AC blows cold!

Why would you sell after doing all that work? You've done all the hard stuff, now you should just drive it and enjoy it.

Beautiful car, by the way.

Well i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is NOT the place to advertise that car for sale... Try www.mye28.com . Not to mention, your price is a bit steep. Its a damn clean car, but 8k for an eta?

Cheers,
J
