1982 BMW 628csi Euro Convertible only 11,246 original miles. Clear Massachusetts Title Yes 11,246 not a typo. Custom built for Euler Frankfurt. Starts right up and runs and drives perfectly. Hydraulic top, custom interior with wood trim. I have 268 photos here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/67286003@N07/albums/72157656754467088/page1 A noted collector bought several cars after a trip to Frankfurt car show in Germany including this one, a 1981 733 Station wagon also done for Euler by a firm in England and seen in the book “BMW Bavaria’s Driving Machines” page 229 and a BMW M1 . The collector had them all imported to the United States and federalized. After the car passed federalization, the collector registered this 628 for his wife in 1985. I have this registration and others through his ownership. The collector had dozens of cars in his collection, none with more than 10,000 miles. He died in 2000 and a lawyer bought this 628 from his estate in 2002. I have the court paperwork on this. The lawyer bought several others from the original collector’s collection including the 628 and 733 wagon. The lawyer went bankrupt and I bought the 628 from his bankruptcy auction in November 2010 with 8,866 miles and had the car fully serviced. I have the paperwork on this sale. I also bought the Euler 733 wagon which had only 9,100 miles which was not nearly in as nice condition and that car is currently in Switzerland. Although I only drive the car an average of ~ 500 miles a year since my purchase, I do take it on a trip in excess of 100 miles every year. The car rides great both on the back roads and on the highway at 75MPH + and it is a joy to drive. I feel this car could easily be used as an everyday car if someone wanted to. The car is exceptionally solid and stiff and the gaps are perfect as shown in the photos. The doors close with a commanding sound and even with two people standing on the sills there is no chassis flex. The photos will show the comprehensive bracing installed as part of the conversion and is worthy of a car used as a show piece by the firm further demonstrated by the touches like the leather boot and wood paneling installed. 1982 was a transition year and I was told this is an E28 based chassis but the photos linked above and the VIN will allow you to verify. The Top is hydraulic with two electrical switches, one for the latches and one for the raising and lowering. I welcome and encourage any inspection. This car has brought me years of enjoyment and I am regretfully selling as a result of limited garage space. $500 deposit by Paypal within 24 hours of sale with bank wire for balance within 3 days.

This matches the vin ranges listed at http://www.e-24.ru/eng/theory/tech/vin/ and http://www.bigcoupe.com/buying/vinmumbers.html The E24, 6 series changed from an earlier E12 chassis to the E28 chassis in early 1982. Additionally I have added three photos requested in the gallery link at Flickr, two showing the trunk area under the carpet including the spare tire and one from the side low so that one could assess the visibility of the bracing underneath.
