.An E28 BMW 535is. The E28 BMW 5-series cars are ridiculously cheap right now. Bulletproof mechanicals, very affordable parts, 80's BMW 'sharknose' styling, that big, smooth, torquey straight six, and with about $500 in suspension parts (and some stickier tires), some very impressive handling (not quite a 2002, but it has an air conditioner, so it's a trade-off).
World's Oldest Concours Event
Seventy-five years - the space of three generations. This is one of the reasons why Villa d’Este is the world oldest elegance pageant for automobiles. It is not by chance that this event takes place in such an evocative setting and that it is also one that BMW is proud to sponsor. The location itself is just brimming with history, adding an aura to an already heady atmosphere. We need only to recall that the Villa was built in the sixteenth century for Cardinal Tomomeo Gallio and that, after a series of vicissitudes, it was inherited by the Marquis Bartolomeo Calderara.
Among the owners of Villa d’Este were Caroline of Brunswick, wife of the Prince of Wales who was to become King George IV of England; and among those who leased it for a period of time there was even the Empress of Russia, the widow of Czar Nicholas I. With such a glorious past and a full share of posh names (a rundown of the list of the hotel’s guests will leave you duly impressed), Villa d’Este has always been the ideal setting for the Concorso d’Eleganza, an event that was typical of the epoch in which “a car in every garage” was still only a dream and that often brought fashion and engines together.
