Overview of 1988 BMW 528E For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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.
