It’s quite amazing to see how much progress some cars recorded over the years. One such example is the 5 Series that basically started out with the E12 model back in the late 70s.
Those were the days when BMW was inventing itself, as hard as it may seem to believe. They were bringing a whole new range of cars to the market and wanted to impress the audience with their sporty cars, powerful and smooth inline 6-cylinder engines.
This particular car couldn’t be any different from the original recipe. It’s a 1980 528i, fitted with a 2.8-liter inline 6-cylinder engine making 170 HP and 230 Nm (170 lb-ft) of torque (US models only). Of course, rear-wheel-drive and a 5-speed manual gearbox are also a must.
The lucky man driving and owning it is called Warren and plans to keep it as stock and original as possible. Sure, an Euro bumper would be welcome and, if we can make a suggestion, he should also get rid of those ugly fog lights but other than that, why change it?
Furthermore, this model has the potential to become a collectible in the future and changing it too much would ruin it for a possible resale. Enough talk from us though, we’ll let him explain all about his car and the plans he has in the video below. Check it out!
