Buying a BMW 525e
The E28 was built between 1981 and 1988, which is why it belongs here: 80s90s.Club lists a car when its generation was in production at any point between 1980 and 1999. A 1981 car and a 1988 car are both welcome; what decides is the generation, never the year on its own.
Every E28 listed here carries the same checklist, answered by the seller line by line, and a Logbook tied to the car's chassis number rather than to whoever happens to own it. Contact the seller directly — we never hold your money and never take a cut.
