Rare and original December 1987 registered classic BMW E28 520i Lux, 2 litre 6 cylinder engine.
I have owned the car for a year and spent thousands recently to upgrade, restore and bring everything up to date to preserve it for the long term. Thinking of selling due to my car collection growing quicker than I expected.
New MOT to December 2024. No advisories, as I requested for everything to be fixed prior to the MOT.
Recent high quality welding on both lower sills. Have the pictures of the work that was done. The jacking points are also now welded and repaired.
Genuine 79, 000 miles - all previous MOT's from new and service book with multiple stamps.
Recent partial respray - replaced bonnet and sunroof.

Huge history folder full of receipts and invoices dating back to 1990s (fantastic provenance).
Owners manual and service history book.
M5 ride height, sitting on Bilstein coilovers.
Two set of keys, including full tool kit in the boot.
The car is mechanically sound. The new head gasket means there is no overheating issues at all. It can sit on the middle lane of the motorway all day long and keep up with modern cars in traffic.
The body work is straight as per pictures and has a detailed engine bay. Rear seats look like they have never been used and has the rare headrest optioned. Comes with the original working Pioneer stereo and pop out arial.
Rare and original condition E28, apart from the alloys. I have the original 14 inch TRX alloys which uses metric tyres.
The car will reach historic status in three years time, thereby no longer requisite to have road tax and MOT.
The car is located in London. Viewings and test drive welcome subject to insurance.

It will be difficult to find another cherished E28 example like this. It comes with the original bill of sale.
The car was owned by an elderly couple from North London from 1990 to 2018. They would be in their 90s now. All the paperwork is in the file.
It was apparently sold with their house to a property developer. It had been garaged in those 28 years by the couple and over serviced using either their local BMW dealer or a mobile mechanic.
