Just thought it was pretty bizzare:

Isn't that an e12? But would look like fun to drive around.

I think you are right, it might be older than I thought.

It most definately is. I remember when my aunt bought a 1977 or 1978 model 530i brand new - unfortunately it was a lemon (first year of that particular engine) and it was in the shop a lot.

The E28 body started around 1982 or 1983 I believe (don't quote me on that).

Hell if that was local I'd go buy that today. If it runs and drives you can't beat that for $2k.

news spreads fast.... I was debating going and picking that up... but i didn't want to deal with bringing it across the border.

Whats up with Seattle? I have seen a bunch of nice cars come out of that town.

Awesome swap.. great classic BMW look and the V8 rumble of 302ci. Must be a blast to drive.. must be something up with it though if it's selling so cheap.

It's an E12 so it might be rusting away around the engine.

Why?

[CleanAzzE30z]

Why?

Because most older Bimmers (if not ALL) from that period are very prone to rust.
