Hi, I'm a new member on my first BM, happens to be a 525e. Yes they do rot but mine is a 1985 year and not that bad. Am told as long as you keep on top of it they're ok but watch area in front of windscreen as if rotten can affect bulkhead, fixable but big job. I'm finding it nice to run, 2.7 engine not as thirsty as expected. Storage limited compared to my Vauxhall Royale or Volvo's but it's nice to drive. Anything in particular you want to know ask and I'll answer if I can, cheers, Ian

I have a 1985 535i and I don't think that it has been particularly well looked after (at leastnot for the last few years). The only rust was on the jacking points where I have just had to have £75 of welding for the MOT. Other than that the body is really good. Edited to add - they are very old so there is a good chance that suspension bushes, shocks, etc may well need replacing if they haven't already been, and check all electrics as they can be dodgy too.

Jeez, you don't see many as clean as that. In fact, you don't see ANY as clean as that. They've just become worthless old bangers now, sadly. I bought a D reg 525e auto as a winter car for £35 2 months ago as an unwanted trade in. Did the cambelt and changed the oil, she just smokes along now, 217'000 miles and all. Comfy old barge, love 'em.
I paid more for the 840Ci's brake pads than I did for the E28. In fact, I paid more for my shoes. Madness! |

Hello Dbanbery, I've got a e28 528i SE. Fantastic car no problems at all really to keep. If i drive like a Max Flower Kiddie boy racer i get about 15 mpg, if i drive like a nun i see 30mpg+. Go on get an old five. |
