A proper usable classic

Looks nice. I wonder what the reserve is?

Indeed, hard to gauge if this is another dreamer (like the $10k+ E28 parked in a field) or legit sale.

Been close do buying a couple of early E24's over the years but the E12 platfom is just too dated from a performance and availability point. Its looks nice but "82+ or bust for me.

Is performance really that different though? I know there is something quirky with the brakes, but the engines are kinda just M30 variations with similar power? 

Does the E12 platform have any love over the E28 based models?

Not big differences in power relative to the displacement but they changed fuel injection systems and made better head designs over the years. E12 platform is like the E21 platform, inferior whilst offer no advantages.
