35 years a go I had this car too. It was very nice to drive and hat during this time a lot of power. Only the brakes was not powerfull when driving the car close to 200 km/h
Dogleg gearbox is being put in the car as I write this, very excited! But in the video, it's still the 5spd overdrive 265/6. In combination with the long-geared 3.04 LSD, it felt pretty sluggish until high up in the rpm range. Will post a dogleg driving video soon 😎
Hello fellow Swiss enthusiast! I’ve been contemplating selling my 130i for an E12 528i. Would you daily drive one of these? Or do they lack too much comfort, refinement and reliability compared to modern cars? I had two E36s (323ti and 323i Coupé) and one E46 (330Ci) before the E87, I love the 1er but it’s almost too fast and efficient. I partly want something more raw, but I also do 80 km of highway per day (to university and back…). Long comment but if you do read it, thanks for taking the time to respond!
