This vehicle is only visible in the Eau de Pétrole Showroom.

Trade-In possible.

This 1985 BMW 525i (E28) represents the golden era of BMW sport sedans — a time when precision engineering, balanced rear-wheel drive dynamics, and understated design defined the brand. The E28 generation is widely regarded as one of the purest expressions of the classic BMW formula: straight-six power, driver-focused ergonomics, and timeless proportions.

This particular example has been comprehensively restored and is presented today in outstanding condition throughout. The bodywork and paint show beautifully, maintaining the sharp, clean lines that make the E28 so iconic. The interior has been completely renewed and presents as fresh, tight, and refined, offering the look and feel of a new car while retaining its authentic 1980s character.

Mechanically, the car has been carefully sorted, including a fully re-sealed engine. The legendary BMW inline-six runs smoothly and confidently, delivering linear power and that unmistakable mechanical refinement for which BMW became famous. There are no oil leaks, no pending work, simply a well-maintained, properly restored classic that is ready to be driven and enjoyed.

On the road, the 525i offers a perfectly balanced driving experience. The steering is communicative and precise, the chassis composed and confidence-inspiring. It is equally suited to relaxed daily use as it is to spirited weekend drives. The exhaust note adds a special character, deep, rich, and authentic, without being intrusive. It is the sound of a proper 1980s BMW straight-six doing exactly what it was engineered to do.
