E28 520 what engine is it?

I am thinking of buying an E28 520 I really like the look of them.

Does anyone know what engine this is?

Is it the same as in the E30?


Has anyone got one?

Should I be thinking of another one to buy?

Re: Delay when blipping throttle.

Maybe the K&N panel filter is not helping if it it taking in warm air.

Also the car had an ecotech valve installed and the filter may need replacing.

Re: How much should I pay for a 320ise coupe

eldarvanyar! I can confirm that your old 320 is still going strong. I've owned it for 2 years and in that time covered about 8K (almost trouble free) miles! However, it's just about to go up on axle stands as the prop centre bearing needs attention. Hi, if you EVER decide to let go of her then plea...

Re: How much should I pay for a 320ise coupe

DavieP, couldn't agree more :wink: My former 320iSE could really shift if needed yet was a smooth drive and pretty economical. I do belive you are less likely to find a ragged one. I have been there when it comes to fast cars and speed and have had my fare share of turbos. I have driven over 400,000...

Re: How much should I pay for a 320ise coupe

By low mileage I mean under 100k

I think its worth spending a bit more if it means there is less to do body wise and mechanically. It should be cheaper in the long run

How much should I pay for a 320ise coupe

How much do you think I should be paying for a mint 320ise coupe, preferably in sterling silver around G reg onwards with the factory body kit etc.
I am still pining after my last one G705 GTY :cry:

If any one knows of any coming up mint and low mileage, teher must be some out there :D

Has any one still got G705 TGY, I wondered what's happen to her, she is a 320iSE in Sterling Silver or was. I know when I sold her to Jack he had her lowered and 15" wheels put on. Any pics would be good.
It's funny how these e30s have a special place in your heart.
