1999 528it Touring NewForMe!

[POWERWAGON]

Scored a very nice Jet Black 668 over Black Nappa ‘99 528it Touring. Style 66 17” staggered M Rims. Auto trans / 212K Miles. Always loved the profile / rear three quarter view of these rigs. Spent 13 hours [I5 Grapevine Closed by snow!] day after Christmas driving 101 from San Francisco to San Diego. This slick Wagon is very comfortable balanced averaged 29 MPG! Rack and Pinion front steering is just superb feel vs my 03 540i/6 MTech. Really excited to be a part of this unique BMW Wagon Group! Happy 2020 New Year!!!

Congrats on your new ride. I hope you didn't pay a lot.

Thank You, easy! I see you’re from Oxnard; this Wagon spent six years in Newbury Park- you may have seen it around Ventura! Depreciation on twenty year old BMWs is astounding! I read the 2.8L inline 6 can go for 500K - 800K?! Happy New Year

Welcome to the wagon family

29 MPG? Damn, mine has a best of about 25 to 26 on the highway.

Thank You Stephen! I too am a MOPAR Fanatic; owned 8 E Body ‘70/71 Convertibles over the years and the only Ford I ever coveted is a Pantera! [Can I add a photo of my ‘99 Touring on this thread?!]

The signature of POWERWAGON was a dead give a way as only a MOPAR fan would know what they are. I am currently out of the Mopar world other than helping a few people fix electrical, fuel, and suspension issues. Seems people can not grasp the concept of replacing EVERYTHING at once in each system, something that is way too common on 3-5th BMW owners who purchased cheap and now are staring at all the differed maintenance costs that comes with cars no one maintained over the past 15 years. "Gee, I wondered why it was so cheap?"

On the photo question, I think you need XX number of posts before that option shows up under GO Advanced replys.

Welcome Powerwagon.
The mopar faithful have gravitated toward BMW. All my mopar friends have one.
Coincidentally, all of us got one unknowing that the others got one. We are all in our older years of work and family and don't talk cars on a daily basis.
Multi E body owner here too, but only of the Plymouth variety. And why did you ever sell them.

Thank You, Wagons! It’s very compelling the reason MOPAR Folk would gravitate towards BMW my guess is the ‘sports performance Ultimate Driving Machine lore / engineering DNA with the stellar styling second. Chrysler Corporation led on many engineering fronts and the styling from Virgil Exner to Elwood Engel made a statement in the glory era of the Big3. My 1972 POWERWAGON W200 Crew Cab was one of my favorites, along with 7 1974 Ramcharger / TrailDuster
