OVERVIEW
This one-owner 1983 BMW 528e sedan was purchased new by the seller at Ocean Motors in Santa Monica and has remained in California since new. It is powered by the original, unmodified B20B27 2.7-liter inline-six mated to a five-speed manual transmission and comes with a power sunroof, power disc brakes, and power steering. Finished in Sapphire Blue over a blue vinyl interior, this garage-kept E28 528e is now offered with service records, owner’s manuals, a clean CARFAX report, and a clear title in the seller’s name.
EXTERIOR – FEATURES
The reportedly rust-free Sapphire Blue body features quad headlights, bright bumper and window trim, bodyside moldings, a power sunroof, and a central rear exhaust outlet. According to the seller, this car received front-end damage and bodywork a few months after it was purchased.
EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES
Bottlecap-style 14-inch silver wheels are wrapped in 195/70 Toyo tires.
INTERIOR – FEATURES
The interior is furnished with blue vinyl manually-adjustable bucket seats up front and a bench in the rear, matched to the door panels, dash, carpeting, and floor mats. Amenities include power windows, power door locks, a radio, and a trunk-mounted tool kit. The seller notes that the cruise control is inoperative and the air conditioning does not blow cold.
INTERIOR – GAUGES
Instrumentation consists of a 150-mph speedometer, a 6,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, and instantaneous fuel economy. The six-digit mechanical odometer reads 335,442 miles, which is in line with the most recently recorded mileage figure of 335,182 logged on the CARFAX report in June 2022.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The M20B27 2.7-liter inline-six was rated at 121 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque when new. It has an erratic idle when cold, per the seller. An oil change was performed within the last 3,000 miles, the radiator hoses have been replaced, and the CARFAX report indicates that the air conditioning system was serviced in summer 2022. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a console-shifted five-speed manual transmission.
UNDERCARRIAGE
Stopping is performed by power disc brakes.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
The accident-free CARFAX report begins in January 1992 and shows California ownership since new. A California emissions inspection was completed in 2021. Owner’s booklets and folders of service records will accompany the car.
