1984 BMW 528i E28 M-Technic Sedan - Hennarot Red - 249,777km - 2.8L M30 Inline-6, 5-Speed Manual, Australian Delivered
Five-speed manual, full M-Technic body kit, documented ADR delivery, build plate and paint code confirmed. A genuine classic.
Overview
The BMW E28 5 Series ran from 1981 to 1988 and represents the last of the truly driver-focused 5 Series before the E34 moved things in a more comfort-oriented direction. The 528i is the sweet spot of the range, built around the legendary M30 2.8-litre naturally aspirated inline six-cylinder, the engine that underpins some of BMW's most celebrated road cars. This 1984 Australian-delivered example carries the M-Technic body kit, the period optional package that added the front airdam, body side stripes, rear spoiler, and M-badged kidney grille. Combined with the factory basketweave alloy wheels and the five-speed manual gearbox, this is the E28 configuration that collectors chase. Build date is confirmed as March 1984 by the build plate in the engine bay, and Australian delivery is confirmed by the ADR compliance plate on the firewall. Paint code 052/3 Hennarot Red is confirmed by the factory colour sticker inside the engine bay.
The exterior presents in Hennarot Red with good gloss across all panels and straight, well-aligned body lines with no obvious accident damage or filler repairs visible. The M-Technic front airdam, black side stripes, and rear boot spoiler are all present and intact. The front kidney grille carries the M badge. The factory basketweave alloy wheels wear relatively modern tyres and present without significant damage. Minor stone chipping on the bonnet leading edge is consistent with normal road use over four decades.
Inside, the charcoal cloth trim is in very good condition for the age and kilometres, with only light wear to the seat bolsters consistent with normal use. The dashboard is intact with no significant cracking. The original Blaupunkt AM/FM cassette head unit with anti-theft function is present in the factory fascia, and the period BMW analogue instrument cluster reads 249,777km. The manual climate control operates across heating and cooling, the leather-wrapped four-spoke BMW steering wheel is original specification, and the five-speed gearbox lever and boot are correct and presentable. Service logbooks and owner's manual accompany the car, along with two original BMW keys. The boot is tidy and the spare wheel is present.
The M30 engine bay is clean and original with no modifications visible. The inline six presents in honest working condition. With E28 528i manual values currently sitting in the $30,000-$38,000 range for original documented examples in Australia, the price guide of $28,000-$40,000 is a genuine representation of where this car sits in the market.
