The Appeal
Back when BMW wasn't slapping enormous kidney grilles on the front of electric SUVs, the Bavarian firm was responsible for some of the best-styled cars on the road. Here's one of them; the Claus Luthe-designed E28 5 Series.
It's rare to find UK market right-hand drive examples, so this is a great find for fans of '80s Beemers. As you'll see in the photographs, this 2.7-litre petrol 525e has been subtly lowered using BC Racing BR adjustable coilovers and it has been equipped with a set of aftermarket Azev alloy wheels.
The car is offered in fair condition, with some areas which would benefit from tidying if desired. The MOT runs until November 2025 and shows minimal advisories.
