| 1987 BMW 528e >> A true untouched original Survivor << >> only 79,500 miles* <<
Offered here is a second generation 5-Series 1987 BMW 528e with original 79,500 miles*. The vehicle has a clean Florida title. The car is not tampered with, has not had an accident and is in 100% original condition. It has its original paint in Alpine White, without any repainting. The paint is in above-average condition with no notable stone chips, scratches, dents or rust. The vehicle has been carefully and meticulously maintained throughout its life and is almost as delivered from the factory. It has a 4-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, catalytic converter, anti-locking brake system, 14-inch BMW alloy wheels, leather interior, air conditioning, power steering, cruise control, central locking, on-board computer, power sunroof, power seats, power windows, power mirrors, power antenna, anti-theft alarm and tinted glass. Engine, gearbox and rear axle are immaculate with no leaks whatsoever and have just had a full service with all filters and fluids changed. The timing belt was replaced in 09/2019 at 71,294 miles. The recent engine compression test shows consistent resultsbetween 174 and 188 psi. The chassis including all chassis components are in good condition. All bushings, bearings and ball joints including dust and axle boots are in perfect condition. New brakes including brake hoses are installed all around. The brake fluid was then renewed. The cooling system was flushed and filled with new coolant. Alternator and battery are new. The rear axle was filled with new gear oil. The main and high-beam headlights as well as the fog lights were replaced with German H4/H1 headlights. The underbody and wheel arches have been dry ice blasted, are spotlessly clean and are in excellent original condition with no damage whatsoever. At that time a Viper alarm system with remote control was installed. The interior is in excellent, almost new condition. The real leather seats and the dashboard are without any damage. All components and controls including the fully electric seats, electric sunroof, electric windows and central locking work flawlessly. The display of the dashboard and the on-board computer are without pixel errors. The air conditioning is freshly filled and blows ice cold. The spare wheel, jack and tool kit are unused. New unused Lloyds floor mats come in their original packaging. The vehicle is a non-smoking, pet-free, garage kept vehicle that has been lovingly cared for and serviced over the years. The vehicle convinces with its above-average, technically and mechanically perfect overall condition.
* Please note: The odometer was replaced with a new unit on 02/11/2014 at 65,105 miles. The new odometer now shows 14,332 miles. The total mileage should therefore be 79,437 miles. However, Ebay's Autocheck Report shows a total mileage of 99,052 miles. This is not documented in my Carfax. The sticker in the A-pillar showing the date and mileage at the time the new speedometer was installed seems credible. Since I don't have an invoice for the speedometer replacement, I can't help clarify the actual total mileage. As an interested party, you should therefore decide for yourself what seems more credible and you should also be able to accept that the total mileage could possibly be 99,052 miles or more.

Understanding Classic Cars?
I have described this vehicles to the best of my knowledge and belief. This should give you a realistic impression of the general and specific state of a vehicle. Ialso document the condition with a detailed photo gallery. Since you can not inspect the vehicle apparently, your rating will remain purely subjective. So you decide according to my description. Many of my vehicles are often older than 20 years and have already reached 100,000 miles many years ago. Over the years, they have been maintained and cared for in differently ways by the previous owners, from meticulous to superficial. A used vehicle therefore shows its usual signs of wear over the years. This is reflected in the overall visual condition of the vehicle. In addition, the demands on quality are not comparable with those of a modern vehicle. The quality of materials used therefore meet the standards of the past.While the visual state can therefore be measured only at their own standards, however, should be no doubt in the mechanical state. I place emphasis therefore on the mechanical integrity of a vehicle. I strive to offer a technically perfect vehicle that does not have safety deficiencies. Despite all efforts, it can not exclude that in the future may occur sudden repairs. So if you have an understanding of vintage cars, I would appreciate your interest very.
