Overview: 1-owner, 171k miles, well-maintained excellent driver shown in BMW’s classic all-original Cirrus Blue Metallic paint. With loads of preventative and timely maintenance, this stout E28 is equipped to see many years of trouble-free enjoyment.

Recap –
Everything works – A/C blows sub 50°, heat and defroster work, all windows, sunroof, seat motor movements, interior functions work exactly as intended, while the 9-button OBD dashboard all illuminate and operate. Fun fact: this is the first BMW produced with a factory “Check Engine Light!” — which is not displaying any error codes or malfunctions.
The interior leather is very supple and in excellent shape with one 2″ tear on the passenger-side rear bench. Headliner, all A/B/C pillar fabric are not sagging and the carpet shows no signs of any water intrusion. The exterior paint has maintained great depth and metallic flake, free of any clear coat failure or oxidation anywhere – showing no notable imperfections other than the aforementioned cosmetic defects. All VIN tags are present and visible.
This is an original, well-sorted, unique, and famously reliable example that will provide unparalleled nostalgia and the ultimate driving experience — without the mechanic’s ultimate invoice.
