In Reply to: Buy '79 528i or keep '78 530i posted by Roberto Urbano on July 31, 1999 at 13:53:40:
: I have an opportunity to buy a clean '79 528i w/auto and rebuilt engine for $2400. Or, should I keep my '78 530i w/auto and restore it? The '78 needs another engine, total paint job, front seats and work on the electric windows. Am I better off just getting the '79 and enjoying it right away? Or, modify the '78 every which way I want?

I have a 79 and I love it. I think that you should get it as
you may be dropping that $2400 into your 530 and still have
thermal reactors. Been tinkering with the idea of a 3.5ltr
and a 5speed for mine... More$$$ but the rest of the car is
excellent! Just another $.02
