"It’s a rare and neat original car. If you are looking for that special mechanical feeling that BMW achieved in the early 1970s, this 518 is perfect. Extremely nice chassis balance and powertrain that gives the driver a kick."

Description

This is a BMW 518 (E12) model year 1977 from the first generation 5 series. E12 debuted in 1972 and was manufactured until 1981. The car was bought new at Asplunds Bil in Torestorp by an older gentleman from Horred and later his son took over the car. The current owner bought the car in 2007.
Previous meticulous ownership and nurturing make this 518 a very creditable young timer.
The 518 has a straight four-cylinder petrol engine with single carburetor and overhead camshaft. The 1,766 cm³ engine produced 90 horsepower and with its light body work and fine weight distribution it’s still a great driver’s car.

Facts about the model

Tillverkningen av den första generationen 5-serie (E12) startade 1972. Modellen - designad av Paul Bracq - var en direkt konkurrent till Mercedes W114/115 och W123, Opel Commodore, Volvo 100/200-serie, Saab 99/900, Rover 3500, Alfa Romeo Giulietta/Alfetta med flera.
Med E12 påbörjades "det nya BMW" med siffernomenklatur och konstruktionslösningar. BMW 5-serie E12 låg till grund för GT-coupén 6-serie (E24). Effektspannet för E12-serien sträcker sig från 90 hk upp till 218 hk (M535i 1980-81). Starkast var dock coupén M635 CSi (E24) 1987-89.
Tillverkningen av E12 pågick 1972-81, total produktion uppgick till 699 094 bilar. De första åren tillverkades nya 5-serie i München, från september 1973 förlades produktionen till den nyöppnade, numera klassiska, Dingolfingfabriken.
E12 tillverkades även som tyskbyggda "knock-down" för exportmarknader som Sydafrika, Jakarta, Indonesien och Thailand.
