BMW E12 528i 1980

Not humble at all, I believe this e12 section is created because of the e12 I bought last week. With that comes the responsibility to show it here. But after seeing all those beauties here, I’m somewhat reluctant. Why? Well…
After gaining my e21 323i, my e30 325iA cabriolet, my e28 525e, my e21 318A, I had a burning desire for an e12. It had to be an 528i or M535i, but the last one is much more expensive. Last fall I almost bought an 528i of an dude from Belgium. That was a French car, 4 rotten doors, but nice. We couldn’t make the deal.
Last week there was an Saphirblue 528i on a local tradingsite, all rust, but original Dutch first delivery. But I didn’t have the time, so I didn’t bother. Last Tuesday, believe it or not, there was an ’80 528i, same colour, same first Dutch delivery (over here cars have their own plates, only usable on that chassisnumber. So original makes the slightly more worth). But it is a strange car. Resprayed in a bad way, windows taped in, packed with loose parts.
Our great forummember Ite, Baur323, collected it for me. I picked it up last Saturday. Well, I dropped in my garage, still not sure what to do with it. But I’m happy with it!!
Data: Build june 1980, original Dutch plates, 136k km on the clock, not unlikely to be original, M30 2.8 injectionblock, eco 5 gearbox, saphirblue. My sixth is a five...
At Ite’s.
And home, lots of traffic jams and a shitload of rain, but we made it!
Off the trailer, straight indoors.
Anyone seen a rearlight?
And the street packed with BMW…
