The seller offers for sale this 1985 BMW 518i (E28), equipped with a 1.8 litre 4-cylinder petrol engine producing 107 hp and paired with a manual gearbox. The car was imported from Germany and has been repainted in its original BMW Cosmos Blue Metallic colour. Numerous mechanical components have been renewed, including fluids, hoses, fuel pump, brakes, battery, exhaust and silencer. The engine starts on the first attempt, runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly. There are minor cosmetic imperfections such as small scratches and a dent on the rear bumper. The front seats show light signs of wear, the dashboard lighting is not functioning and the odometer does not always count mileage correctly.
The current documented mileage is 65.000 km and it holds a valid technical inspection.
The BMW E28 5 Series is regarded as one of the defining executive sedans of the 1980s. With its classic three-box design, driver-focused cockpit and rear-wheel-drive layout, it established the formula that would shape future generations of the 5 Series. The 518i variant offers balanced performance and everyday usability while maintaining the traditional BMW driving feel. Today the E28 is increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts for its analogue character, solid build quality and timeless styling, making it an appealing classic for collectors and drivers alike.
