Dead on. And that copyright stamp. Can't decide if it is a grifter's scene-setting flourish or the tell on the seller's delusion/paranoia. Mostly reminds me of the old ad selling pocket lint for $1,000,000--never has lint sounded so important & desirable.

The force is strong with this one:

This is the dealership that sold off a lot of cars at an OKC auction earlier this year at no reserve, but with final prices that raised murmurs they were seller buy-backs. I really couldn't tell. I guess if you agree to auction a large-enough lot and get a break on buying commission in return, it makes sense to just pay the commission and keep the car. But pretty skeevy for auction house to call them "no reserve" if the preferred commission was so low it allowed the seller to effectively have an undisclosed reserve.

Yeah, I still can't believe that Japanese 518i sold for $8k.

That car came up again later somewhere for much more, but I can't remember now.

Right when @HB Chris posted his thread I was eying a nice green 528i. A little rough, but desperately needs a set of vintage gold BBS Mahles

Have you looked at the 72 2002? Those shock towers are so scary, it seems like they may have painted over alot of bad.

This is the one that taunts me and I wish someone would buy. It's getting down to drivetrain values.

Agreed on the golf. It was $11K and I think a lot of folks left disappointed. The shock towed as seen seem very fixable, but I am completely ignorant about 2002 structural concerns.

I dunno. Doesn't seem THAT hard to fix; unlike our E9s on the front:

Neat car even being a 528e

Neat car even being a 528e

The 1982 528e manual used a Getrag 265, with a different bellhousing. Might be a hidden gem.

 

[autokunst]

Just last night, my wife and I watched the movie "The Mothman Prophesies" with Richard Gere, Laura Linney and Debra Messing. The car they drive in the beginning of the movie is a 528e, and I was enjoying seeing it.

 

[rsporsche]

my experience is that most of the 528e were automatics. i'm sure there are some but no idea how many.

Reasonably priced M20 bell housings are regulars on Ebay, but I don't think this one is reasonably priced:

BMW 265 Getrag Bellhousing for M20 Baby Six Motor with Motronic Fittings | eBay

Bellhousing as removed from a 1982 528e with a Getrag 265 manual transmission. Fits the M20 or "Baby Six". This bellhousing is very rare and useful for installing the 265 in your E30 or E36.

Yeah, 2nd owner carmel car. About a weeks worth of detail work needed. Uncommon color and interior for a e28.

I am delightfully jealous/envious - nice acquisition.
