1986 BMW 528e 5-Speed

This one-owner 1986 BMW 528e is finished in blue over a blue interior.  Power is derived from a 2.7-liter inline-6 and transferred to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. It has received extensive maintenance within the past 50k miles, including a new timing belt, water pump, radiator, fuel pump, shift linkage, ignition, drive belts, shocks, HVAC motor, and more. Located in Scottsdale, Arizona, this E28 is offered with a clear Arizona title in the seller's name and service records from new.

The body was professionally repainted in blue in 2010, and new bumper and door handle trim was added in 2018. Fog lights are fitted to the front impact bumper, and the black grille is in good condition, as are the chrome "kidney" center grilles. Additional brightwork includes polished window trim and taillight bezels, while the mirrors caps are matte black.

The factory 14" bottle cap wheels received new center caps in early 2018. All four tires were replaced with 195/70 Goodyear Assurance rubber in 2015. Included maintenance records show that new disc brakes were installed at 270k miles.

The interior is trimmed in Pacific Blue leather with color-matching floor mats and dash pad. Factory equipment includes power windows and locks, a metal sliding sunroof, air conditioning, and a wood-grain shift knob. The HVAC motor was replaced at approximately 276k miles. Photos show apparent cracking on the outer portion of the driver-side headrest and sagging of the seatback storage pockets. An aftermarket Pioneer Bluetooth head unit was installed in 2017, and the complete factory tool kit is present underneath the trunk lid.

Instrumentation is framed by the factory 4-spoke wheel and includes a 140mph speedometer, tachometer, and readouts for fuel level and coolant temperature. The odometer shows roughly 288k miles and records indicate that a repair was performed in 2008. The CARFAX report indicates a potential odometer rollback in 2012; true mileage is unknown.

The car is powered by a Bosch Motronic fuel-injected 2.7-liter inline-6 paired with a Getrag 260 5-speed manual transmission. Records show a timing belt service and a new water pump, radiator, expansion tank, and thermostat and housing at 233k miles. Additional work includes the replacement of the shift linkage, fuel pump, fuel filter, ignition rotor, distributor cap, spark plugs, and wires at 251k miles, and a new fuel T-valve in the fall of 2017.

A new muffler was installed at 270k miles, as well as new shocks, bellows, and mounts in September 2020.

Receipts and maintenance records from new are included in the sale, totaling $40,000.
