Description
Here we have my 1985 E28 BMW 520i.
I have owned it almost 2 years and have spent over £4500 on its continuing restoration.
Selling it as a running project with an MOT (April 2026) as there’s still bits to be done
As will all classics
If it gets it gone would consider a P/ X for anything interesting.
In the last x2 years it’s had some paint restoration (old photos can be provided).
Lots and lots of welding. Photo’s to prove before and after. MOT advisories still need doing and have probably deteriorated further. Runs and drives still take it to shows and I love it. Price is very negotiable due to me describing as a project would consider a P/ X.
Listed below is some of the work I was told it had previous to my ownership. Also has a massive history file. Panels believed to be original as is the glass as it’s been edged and has the original dealer sticker, Bilstein B8 shocks and springs, Uniroyal Tyres, New radio and bracket, E30 clock fitted, New timing belt, Front fog lights added, New water pump, Fully serviced (I’ve also had it serviced), Automatic gearbox serviced, rare Chris Goose leather interior fitted with custom armrests, Steering/ alternator belts changed.
earth grounds throughout engine (common issue often overlooked by M20 owners), New prop mount, Various suspension arms replaced as appropriate, starter motorBought as a project, wanted something different to the usual E30’s and 3 series. Extremely comfortable on long journeys and one you done see everyday
