The BMW 5-Series is a fine midsize luxury car from BMW, also known as the makers of the Ultimate Driving Machine. Indeed, this self-applied accolade does apply to a variety of their models, past and present. The 5-Series is a great example, especially when you look back at their older variants. Today, we’ve got a 1988 BMW 528E from the E28 era up for sale in Malibu, California. This four-door sedan comes with a smooth in-line six, a recent servicing and is said to be all-stock, mechanically. It’s got an impressive 266,538 miles on the clock but you wouldn’t be able to tell; such is the degree to which the car has been cared for. These cars can keep going if well-maintained, and you should be easily able to pass 300,000 and head for bigger numbers.
This black 1988 BMW 528E showcases the timeless styling of the E28 generation that is the work of Claus Luthe. Students of design can use this as an example of how to make something clean, beautiful and timeless too. Note the signature ‘Hoffmeister Kink’ in the lines of the rear-side windows, as well as the dual headlamps, upright stance, and long profile. Then, see how elegant the BMW dual kidney grilles look, in comparison to today’s gaping nostrils. Even the car’s BMW alloy wheels are simple yet attractive. In fact, older BMWs like this one show that beauty doesn’t mean going over-the-top with outrageous design elements. The tan interior of this 1988 BMW 528E is spacious enough for five adults, and includes comfort features such as automatic climate control, a trip computer, and even a sunroof. Audio, however, has received a much-needed upgrade, thanks to a JVC head unit with Bluetooth and USB inputs. We’re told that there are two subwoofers as well, to give much-needed punch since sound systems weren’t exactly the best in the Seventies and Eighties.
The 2.7-liter in-line six that moves this 1988 BMW 528E is factory rated for around 120 horsepower and 177lb-ft. These figures are made at just over 4,000 and 3,000rpm respectively, signaling that this engine is tuned to be a cruiser, offering excellent long-distance driving abilities with minimal engine noise and optimal fuel economy. Power goes to the rear axle through a 4-speed automatic gearbox. The car has also received a new battery.

Not all cars are instantly loved. Some require a bit of time to be appreciated. But uncovering these hidden gems arguably makes them all the more special to collectors. And that’s precisely how the market is now responding to the BMW Z3 Coupe, aka the “Clownshoe.” When new, some considered the coupe-breadvan style somewhat odd, but with time, the Z3 coupe has become one of the most desirable versions of the acclaimed first-gen Z3. Our featured 2001 BMW Z3 3.0i Coupe has the desirable 5-speed manual gearbox and shows just 16,800 miles. Located in Clearwater, Florida, this Z3 hatchback coupe represents one of the more unique shapes in BMW’s modern history, offering a blend of collectible appeal and pure driving enjoyment.
BMW’s line-up has expanded massively over the past ten years, and they’ve introduced the 4-Series as one of their latest models.

Today, we’ve got a 2025 BMW M4 Competition xDrive Convertible for sale from Witon Manors, Florida, with a mere 1,529 miles to its name. This car includes a long list of features, such as the Parking Assistance and Parking Assistance Plus Packages, M Shadowline lights, Connected Package Pro, Active Driving Assistant, Executive Package, and Adaptive M Suspension Package. Furthermore, with a brawny straight-six under the hood, you’ve got an exciting driving experience in store. So why wait? Claim this car as yours ASAP.
Introduced in 1984, the letter-and-number pairing of M5 has sparked thrills and ignited excitement in the hearts of performance enthusiasts and BMW fans worldwide.

Availing yourself to an M5 means that you’re getting a fine driving machine with bucketloads of performance and capability, wrapped up in a spacious four-door package, and offering most, if not all, of BMW’s luxury appointments, fine finishings, and technological advancements. Today, we’ve got a 24,936-mile 2023 BMW M5 Competition Package from Illinois in our inventory. This super-sedan comes with the Driving Assistance Package, Executive Package, Competition Package, and a snarling twin-turbo V8 to behold.

This car comes from Belleville, New Jersey. The current owner informs us that included with the sale is some interior components that are all new and in their boxes, plus the car’s shop manual.
