Story Behind the Vehicle

This 1988 BMW 528e is a well-preserved E28 sedan showing 67,252 original miles. My late father purchased the car decades ago from its original owner, making him the second owner, and had it meticulously serviced at Co’s BMW (now BMW of Loveland) throughout his ownership. All dealer service records are included.

The car is finished in its original white exterior color with factory trim, and the interior remains stock, featuring the original red leather upholstery, carpeting, and dash. Panels are straight, glass is clear, and the car retains its original badging and brightwork.

History & Maintenance:

  • 67,252 miles from new
  • Purchased by my father from the original owner in the 1990s
  • Serviced exclusively at Co’s BMW/BMW of Loveland (records included)
  • Garage-kept for most of its life
  • In 2020, all fluids were flushed and replaced by a BMW specialist
  • Driven from shop to the current storage location without issue

Current Condition:

  • Car has been stored at a friend’s property in Colorado for the past 3 years
  • Engine turns over but will not start — power is present but not catching fuel
  • New fuel pump installed spring 2025
  • Battery charged but no change in condition
  • Structurally solid with no known rust issues
  • The interior is clean and largely original, showing light wear consistent with age. The dash is intact with a few typical age-related cracks, the underside of the driver’s side armrest has a small hole, and there is a minor ding to the leather on the inside of the rear door (both shown in photos). Upholstery remains in good condition overall. Exterior has a few scuffs and scratches, and the antenna has been broken off.
  • Includes original keys, manuals, and full-service history

Why This E28 is Special:

The 528e (“eta”) model is celebrated for its smooth, reliable M20B27 inline-six and classic BMW driving dynamics. Finding one with under 70K miles, documented service history, and two-owner provenance is rare. This car is an excellent candidate for light mechanical recommissioning and would be at home in any enthusiast’s collection or as a weekend cruiser.
