I know we always talk about E30s in this board, but recently we dragged home a 1988 528e, as miss Margie wanted it very badly. After Rennie, Tommy my dad and I spent a couple of weekends on it, it is done. Wow, I forgot what cool cars these are.
This particular one has only 31,000 original, one owner miles on it and we picked it up for $2500 from the son of the original owner. We through bit of detailing stuff at it and fixed a couple of parking lot dings. Mechanically, it needed just a wheel bearing and a tie rod end. Still need to fix one power window. This is no race car, but it amazes me how well this car goes down the highway at 80 mph.
It is also getting insanely good mileage. While we have no formal plans to write about this lowly 528e, it is an awesome car and will most likely find its way into the magazine as part of some 80s sedan comparo or some such.
I'll get one of the guys to post some pics if their is sufficient interest.
. I had a 528e for a little while (only a week, ended up flipping it to buy my Alfetta.) But I remember it was an amazingly easy car to drive, with a buttery smooth gear shift and loads of torque. Definitely a brilliant highway cruiser and fun daily driver.
