: I am interested to know what is simpler on an 80 than a 79. Especially considering when I buy parts (for the injection, emissions, ignition) they say 79-81?? I know the little stuff like fan clutch and mirrors, and air slide valve? All can easily be updated.
: Just trying to defend a good 79
: 1979 528i

: : For $2500 you should be able to find a '80-'81 528i. It'll have a 5-speed and simpler emission controls and simpler injection.
True the 79 has the same gear as an 80,BUT we were talking about a 1978 530i which definitely does have different more complex emission.
