The foundational car of modern BMWs was 1962’s Neue Klasse - which also gave birth to the 1602/2002. Redesigning that car was a daunting task, but its replacement, the #e12 5-series, was a gem. Like the Neue Klasse, it was also a car of firsts. The e12 was the first #5series and the first car to debut BMW’s now-familiar naming model names. Launched in 1972 with a pair of 2-liter fours (the carb’d 520 and injected 520i), it was the first new car to come out of the #BMW Dingolfing plant, formerly the site of the Glas/Goggomobil production. - It might seem unusual that the 5-series was launched with only four-cylinder engines, but remember that the Neue Klasse had used only fours, and in 1970-71 when the e12 design was being finalized, sixes were the province of the larger e3 sedans. But 5-series range was quickly expanded - with the M30B25 Six joining the line in 1973 as the 525, and the M118 four arriving for 1974 as the economy model 518. With the 2002 being replaced by the e21 3-series in 1976, the e12 had room to grow upward - and in time a gaggle of six-cylinder engines were offered from the relatively humble 525 with a pair of Zenith carbs and 143hp to the 3.5L M90-powered #M535i (precursor to the M5) with 210 injected hp. - Only six-cylinder versions were sold in the U.S., so here the e12 is primarily remembered as a six-cylinder car. Paul Bracq’s sharp styling was a study in contrast to the e12’s main competitor, the conservative Mercedes W114. Both were Bracq designs - he’d worked for Mercedes before his 1970-74 tenure at BMW. Sleek, modern, and distinctly BMW with its shark nose and subtle Hofmeister kink, the basic lines would translate through its 1981 replacement, the e28, which has to some extent overshadowed the e12. - This Jadegrün 1978 528i isn’t a U.S. model, however. As the slim bumpers suggest, it’s a Euro-spec car that lived most of it’s life in Columbia (it’s a @bringatrailer alum). The Euro 528i made slightly more power than the U.S. spec version, which replaced the 533i in 1979. In recent times it has gained a bunch of cool period accessories including a #Zender air dam and wheels, and had a NOS pair of green #Recaro buckets up front.
