Description

Manual, 1984 BMW 520i. Vehicle is in miles so actually aprox 144,000kms driven. Flew through recent WOF. Car is a solid original example which is extremely fun to drive, have used it as a daily driver for the past month. Prior to this rego was on hold as speedo stopped working, sent cluster away for repair, nylon/plastic gears had disintergrated (told it's a common issue) one gear was not available so had it made, all in all not a quick fix, but done.

Bought car from a family member of original owner, service history past/present including original purchase letter with newd psper add, they paid $41,000 in 1986!!!

Comes with an original set of mag wheels x5, (see picture for style of mag), these will look great on the car!

Original black plates.

Only has one small minor crack in dash, see picture.

Upholstery and interior in excellent condition.

Working sunroof, manual, two way.

Original paint (except bonnet which has been done in the past), some areas need attention of which I was going to do but was advised by the paint shop to sell in its honest original state, solid. Mechanically sound, does have intermittent fault of MPG gauge not working along with fuel gauge reading full when not. Solenoid heater valve stuck for cabin temperature control, replacments are available.

Great for enthusiast, easy project if you want to bring it back to like new condition, or just enjoy as is, like I have.

Viewings welcome and recommended.

Feel free to call to discuss, ask any questions.

Genuine reason for sale, need to free up space, time and money for opportunity

Open To Offers.

Also selling 1997 Z3 2.8, Manual, which will be listed separately, same reason as above.

Questions & Answers

  • Hi, so you've owned for one month? Could you post photos of the dash, and dash crack. Doesn't look like its got a stereo? Is it 5 speed? Is the sunroof electric or manual? ABS? Thanks. pster02 (83) • 5:55 pm, Mon, 18 May Hey, owned for nearly two years, I have taken down photo of original purchase letter (at maximum of 20 pics) and added photo of only crack in dash, dash is clearly visible on pics taken from passenger and drivers side. No stereo, never has by the looks. 5 Speed Manual sunroof, opens two ways. Not ABS (I don't think as no ABS light?), brakes are very effective though! Happy to send more photos on request via txt or email. Thanks grkb (276) • Monday, 18 May 2026
