So I was looking a an E28 528i

[BMW-FW26]

Just to have and mess around with. The whole instead console was wreck and taken apart. When I put my hand on the shifter it fell into 2 pieces. The shift boot was ripped and torn. Had 208,000 miles on it. The guy wanted 1900. No way is that car worth 1900. Which is sad too because that car was very sweet the day it was made.

Hope my Bimmer doesnt end up like that in some used car lot neglected. Its a BMW not a car.

Too much cash for a torn-up E28. We just picked up an 86 535i with 185K miles on it for $1450. The manual trans has bad synchros, so I'm swapping out another 5 speed trans. The suspension needs all new bushings and shocks but otherwise it's a good car. Where I live (West Texas) BMW's are rare and not so expensive since the nearest dealer is 100 miles away and pickups and SUV's are the "car" of choice.
