Impromtu E12/E28 meeting at Jesewang Airport

[rxsumo 33]

We were in Germany in June, and Ulli who runs the www.e12.de site, decided to have an informal get together at Jesewang Airport just outside Munich.

Ulli and one of the other club members drove around 600kms from outside of Dusseldorf in the orange 525, they picked up the red 530i Motorsport about 15km away from the airport. It belongs to the owner of the Black E28 M5.

The Hartge came over from Austria for the day.

We ended up with 6 cars in total, but only 4 cars could make the photoshoot.

The gold 528 had another function to attend, and the 530i had a fuel pump failure (we me diving under to try and fix :-)), and ended up on the end of a towrope behind a ADAC service vehicle.

The 530i was a really rare car, the first E12 Motorsport car, only 800 were built to this spec. The M5 also had a story, this is the actual car used for the E34 M5 brochures and advertising.

The Hartge was the genuine item - based on a E28 528i

The blue 525 was an awesome original example - with nice period accessories

Yes, Ulli's car is on the road.

The registration process for old cars in Germany is a nightmare, and it looked like it was going to be March before the car could get its Historic plates, and therefore could be driven within the City limits, however the authorities decided that the car met the criteria - and its now on the road
