Description
• BMW 520 E12 from 1980 with manual 4-speed gearbox
• 1,990 cc engine
• Indicated mileage of 152,233 km
• Good professional restoration
• Belgian registration documents and Belgian Car-Pass present
The BMW 520 E12 belongs to the first generation of the BMW 5 Series and combines the classic, clean BMW styling of the 1970s and early 1980s with the brand’s typical rear-wheel-drive character. Today, the E12 has a distinctly classic appearance and represents a recognisable chapter in BMW history.
This example was first registered on 17 July 1980 and is finished in Polaris Metallic. The 1,990 cc engine is paired with a manual 4-speed gearbox. The indicated mileage is 152,233 km. The chassis number is 6875298.
The car underwent a good professional restoration in the past. The bodywork is original and the paintwork has been repainted. The underside remains in very good original condition. The interior presents well and is original, while the carpets are in very good condition.
Technically, both the engine and engine compartment are in excellent original condition. The car has been perfectly maintained and all fluids are fresh. The clutch and manual 4-speed gearbox function properly. There are still a few points requiring attention regarding the brakes, electrical system and lighting.
Our Oldtimerfarm inspection team has prepared an expert report for this car.
