Pre-bids

1984 BMW 528i (E28)

Highlights

  • Rare, desirable colour scheme
  • Valid, advisory-free MOT until August 2025
  • Highly original interior with plenty of period character
  • Kept in dry, secure storage

The Appeal 

Arguably one of the most handsome cars of its era, the E28 was unique in its distinctly understated, restrained and driver-focused approach. Far from being a gaudy, over-the-top classic, the 528i boasted executive-level luxury that was quiet and comfortable, with a familiar shark-nosed profile. 

This particular example has a handsome and highly desirable gold livery, a velour cabin that is a time capsule, and plenty of time on its advisory-free MOT. These cars are only becoming more popular with modern enthusiasts, and for good reason. 

Classy, comfortable and eminently drivable, there's never been a better time to get behind the wheel of a classic 5-Series.
