This is one of those rare cool finds for sale that is actually affordable. It’s a 1983 E28 BMW 528i Motorsport with a 3.5-litre straight six engine conversion. It’s also got a five-speed manual transmission, LSD and a nice set of Alpina wheels.
It’s available now on carsales in NSW. The owner says the 3.5-litre engine has recently been rebuilt, but even then, the 528i only has 167,000km on the clock.
Other features include a rebuilt five-speed gearbox, new clutch, new Bilstein suspension, a limited-slip differential, neat stereo stereo with an amplifier and sub-woofer, and a freshened up interior with reconditioned front sports seats.
Topped off with a neat BMW Motorsport bodykit with traditionally subtle spoilers front and rear and 17-inch Aplina wheels, it would be a cool old-school run-around that’s also capable of providing plenty of fun.
As mentioned the car is currently for sale on carsales and the owner is asking for just $7500. Not a bad price for a tidy slice of BMW heritage.

This was my old car, new owner that bought it has given it a very hard life and hasn’t really looked after the running gear.
Hi Warren can you get in touch with me via email, I’ve seen the car for sale and I’m interested in it but obviously how badly it’s been thrashed will be an issue. Look forward to hearing from you.
