FS - E28 528e Manual - Mississippi gulf coast

Post by NotShamus »

Hello mye28!

I'll try to be as accurate as I can with everything the car needs, with a margin of error for things I'm unsure are bad.

1987 e28 528e Manual, 190k on odometer, real mileage unknown

- Interior needs a new dash, drivers side B pillar cover, and rear seats refinished. (rear driver side door panel replacement included)
- High beams occasionally come on by themselves, however it hasn't happened in the past few months
- All door seals need to replaced. All of them.
- rear driver side window needs to be replaced (replacement included). the metal bracket under the glass rusted off
- Each door has rust in the corners (pictures included)
- Trunk is missing lining, some surface rust
- Trunk seal needs to be replaced
- Sunroof needs motor and seal (leaks)
- Suspension needs a refresh. Under braking there is an occasional hard shake from the front suspension
- idles fine at start but after warming up hovers at 1000-1100rpm
- Driver side door lock doesn't work, I lock the car from the trunk
- Hood needs finessing to unlatch the passenger side
- A lot of the baseline maintenance is due
- Odometer stopped at 190k in 2019
- ABS sensor on the driver side was cut off by previous owner for who knows why
- C33 radio needs to be sent in for repairs, volume knob does not register
- heater blower does not blow, fan only blows when A/C button is on
- A/C not cold. It was converted by previous owner and worked up until late 2019 before sitting
- when the gas tank is totally filled there is a small leak. Last maybe a minute or two (filler neck?)
- car was repainted by PO and could use a professional polish
- takes between 2-4 seconds to start up with the occasional instant start up. It's been like that since first day of owning

The car sat from late 2019 to late 2020 due to joining the military and being in a long training pipeline. Despite that it started right up with a new battery and made the 650+ mile drive from Saint Pete, FL to MS. It sat again for 7 months while on deployment last year and just needed a jump.

Things that the car has:
- manual swapped in 2018ish with lightened flywheel
- 4.11LSD (not great on highway)
- CAtuned coilovers
- newly refinished e30 manual sport seats in pearl beige vinyl
- around 2019 I did a lot of fuel/ignition maintenance.
- I have euro bumpers and turn/fogs. However they need to be refinished due to surface rust from storage.
- tires are in decent shape

**I have a full front suspension refresh, BBK, IE sway bars, and SETA engine harness for e to i conversion sitting in a storage unit in Florida that I plan to retrieve later this month.**

This car was my daily from 2017 until earlier this year. I still drive it at least a couple days a week. I absolutely love this car, however owning 3 cars means that none of them get the full attention they deserve. If I cannot sell it then I plan to baseline its maintenance and revert the car to its stock configuration.

I'm not sure how much to ask for. I want to be as transparent as possible with what the car needs. This forum has been a lifeline during my ownership and I don't want anyone to get this car and find out all the issues on their own. I'm far more concerned that the car goes to a good and knowledgable owner than I am about price. I hope to sell the car before July to avoid having it sit again for another 6 months to a year.

photo album attached below, tomorrow I'll get a video of it driving and more pictures!

I'll try to answer any questions about the car that I can! Thank you for taking the time to read!

Nice body.

About price, they are crazy these days so it's hard to say.
With all the love it needs, and if all the extras are thrown in, my best guesstimate is between $3.5K and $5K.

I couldnt imagine selling to for more than 5K, I don’t want to become the “I know what I got” guy
