Summary
This 1979 BMW 528i E12 is a running project featuring an aftermarket turbocharger setup on its 2.8L M30 inline-six, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Recent work includes a new turbo, oil lines, exhaust, brakes, and suspension components, but a fuel leak between the rail and injector currently prevents driving. The car shows 97k miles, retains largely original black paint with blemishes, and comes with a clean California title, though it must be sold outside California due to emissions.
