My wife is wanting to sell her 1979 BMW 528i, 4 speed manual trans, air cond (works), pwr windows,locks. Don't drive regularly any more. Approx 85,000 original miles. Pics at http://chipper.smugmug.com/gallery/776681#34405974 Would like to get $5000 out of it but will take offers. This car has been stored inside, repainted 10 yrs ago Glasurit Arctic Blue met (original color) Seats recovered then also. Solid, dependable car for an old fiver. I will be out from 7/13 to 7/20 so may have to wait for reply. Thanks

Clean car.....
$5,000 might be pushing a bit, but... You never know....

(I almost bought one 'way back when' but got the 2002 instead....)

$5000 is definitely pushing it. This isn't a collectible car, but it's in excellent condition and is low on miles.

(I'd pay maybe $3000. :p)

Yea, why would anyone buy this over an E28 533i or 535is?

Both are newer and better looking...

Looks are relative. I actually like the E12. Then again - I drive a 2002. :cool:

Mechanically - The E12 is a much simpler car than the E28. But - both are very much on par in my book now ( back when I was looking at the E12, the E28's were new...... hehe - Time has changed the economics of things over the last ~20 years.... )

For $5k I would prefer to have an E28 535is.

Thought about following up on some leads on those cars before deciding an E34 was a safer bet. Would be a fun project, though.
