The last of the Mohicans — BMW 525e A.

After the sale of the E28 with the original mileage 126000 km, I decided that the theme of fives of this generation for me is closed. Like, in a more tough, but maintaining still can't find and therefore to seek is useless. And in the new year holidays decided nothing better to do, wander around avtoria. And something I was drawn to section E28. To my surprise, I quickly found a very interesting instance. No, it was not М535, and not even the 528. Talk about the condition of the body. My experienced eyes saw it even on the photos taken by Nokia 6300. And I realized that the topic E28 in our country to close early. Called the owner, talked, and I was asked to make photos of places which I am particularly interested in. After a few days received the e-mail, and it became clear that it was time to get on the road. Bought train tickets, took a friend of Ivan Hlamoff, a bottle of brandy and we went on a fascinating journey to the South of the Ukraine. I'll talk about it as something separate. For now, just show what I found in the glorious city of Nikopol.

Experienced Bmode know that old age disease body E28 is front glasses and the VIN. Therefore, the inspection will start with the engine compartment. And I'll tell you that he impressed me. Even my ex-520 there was such a perfect picture. And, I warn you, under the hood, the car is not washed for a long time:

Today, these glasses can be seen mostly in the Museum. The vast majority E28 there for a long time lost virgin view room exterior corrosion, traces of welding, painting, duplicating the sign with native studs and out of place...

Pleased me and such elements of authenticity:

All parts under the hood 1986 V., as the car itself:

Thanks to these markings, even a layman will understand that the car is not received in the past in the face. However, after the accident, you can look for the item with the same date for disassembly. But who do we have this bother? Moreover, the specialist still will not hold.

The body is almost all in the native paint and has no signs of corrosion:

Cracked the b-pillar are missing:

Pay attention to it when buying a BMW from the 80s. Especially the four-door!

Door in order that today, a rarity:

Arches almost 30 years and they have not yet bloomed:

And it's metal without the galvanizing! Besides, the machine is not subjected to additional anti-corrosion treatment. However, the bottom sills in perfect preservation. Most likely Ukrainian winters, the car is not seen. Because even poddomkratit whole!

This 525е the version with the catalyst, so refueled in Germany exclusively unleaded gasoline:

By the way, in 1955 exactly Aral has released the world's first gasoline without lead-containing additives.

The car has original mileage 249000 km and therefore the cabin is not perfect:

But happy with quality and a quality, traditional for BMW. High mileage and age E28 give cracks on the dashboard. Here, everything is in order:

And I really liked the colors of the cabin. Five E28 in this version looks much richer blue or brown interiors:

To be continued.

P. S. I'll tell you that the car I bought that and so look for it in Nikopol is useless :)

Well, for all I will not say, but my ' 76 plastic looks no worse than that, no cracks, but it's the exception rather than the rule)

The material and texture of the black plastic(the Loaves and the top torpedoes) remind Moskvitch plastic.
Machine by far in winter and in the rain did not go.Otherwise looked like all the 525-s).
I was surprised by the relative "pure white" interior, given the mileage, it's how hard it was saving?)

Most likely noticed the phrase?
The fact that I already had a lot of BMW in this preserve. They all winter in Ukraine did not go all the docks in order. You can look on the machine in my profile. Starred-was placed on record without any problems. Imagine that you wrote after seeing my ex-E23. It was not a single podcrash condition and worthy of a Museum.

o
odesoftami 10.08.19

>>> Most likely Ukrainian winters, the car is not seen. (by the way there is in the text of your words)

Too short. This motor deserves a separate, serious post. By the way, not all of THIS had a SG of 11.0.

i
iliaft 10.08.19

Oh, it asks azatik:
"In March 1984, the series has gone one of the most interesting models in the range of fives — 525e. For fuel economy it was equipped with a slow speed unusual for a BMW petrol engine marked ETA (Greek letter "eta" stands for "efficiency"). Development program ETA-motors was the second research direction in the area of economy after diesels. The engine capacity of 2.7 liter had a higher compression ratio (11.0:1) and was equipped with a fully electronic injection system Bosch Motronic 1.0. Limiting the maximum speed mark of 5000 rpm, and shifting peak torque in the medium speed zone, the Bavarians tried to build a "gasoline diesel". To some extent it succeeds, 525e consumed an average of 9.5 liters of gasoline per 100 km, But diesel engines due to the higher efficiency still had much better efficiency, and most importantly — sustainable, so the program of development of the ETA-motors turned."

d

Yes, the glasses is the sorrow of the E28, but my they were in the ideal, podkapotka was the same, only more dirty :) and the car was older, 83. gorgeous car. I am very sorry that sold. the car was as a friend. Quality but at the same time simple and ingenious.
By the way the younger brother now goes to 525е machine 83. as it is from the place she reluctantly goes, although after 30-40 mph quite cheerfully, knowing that a fault in the machine and slipping in GT.
