SOLD
BMW 528i Auto in Arktisblau metallic with blue lux velour interior. The car was highly spec’d for something from ’86, and comes with:
• Blue cloth interior – some wear to the driver’s seat bolster
• Central locking (working)
• Electric mirrors (working)
• Electric sunroof (working)
• On-board computer (working)
• Retro-fitted Pioneer CD player (working)
• Lamp washers (one side isn’t working currently)
• Original service book with stamps. It details the first owners as Middleton Investments, of Nottinghamshire.
• Part service history – booked stamped up until about 2006, then a gap until my ownership began in 2015.
I’ve owned this car for c. 2. 5 years now and maintained regardless of cost, having spent about £2k on various things, including:
• Regularly serviced (oil, filters etc) with my local BMW specialist garage, most recently in March.
• Professionally painted both front wings, removing some dings and remedy corrosion and lacquer peel.
• 2 front brake callipers
• Pads and discs for all four corners
• 2 track control arms and 2 steering track rods, which have remedied the ‘E28 steering shuffle’
The car’s done just over 125, 000 miles and has an MOT until April 2020, no advisories.
The straight six pulls very well, sounds really good and is more than quick enough to keep up in traffic. The automatic gearbox changes smoothly.
Naturally, as one of the smartest saloons of all time it looks great, especially in this colour combo and with the 15” lattice wheels. It’s in nice condition, but there are marks, scratches, and minor bubbling all commensurate with age. Notably, the leading edge of the bonnet, has some small blistering/ bubbling from stone strikes and a poor paint repair to a stone chip and the rear driver’s side wheel arch is showing corrosion but has been stable during my ownership, and not problematic.
Overall, a great driving and looking car with tremendous curb appeal.
Car is located in NW London.
I’m selling as I really don’t get time to enjoy due to work commitments. I shall be sad to see it go, as this was my first car, but happy to see it get more use!
