I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps fuel inj. and tank clean and rustfree
I love this body style. This is the car that made me start to notice BMW's back in the late '70s, when I was in high school. Would love to have one well-restored for Sunday drives while listening to Wagner or '50s Miles Davis.
NICE CAR BUT MERCEDES W123 IS MUCH BETTER!!!. I FROM ARGENTINA I HAVE A 230E 81 WHIT 140.000KM REAL. WHAT IS A PRICE OF MY CAR WHERE YOUR FROM?. TANKS.
@marianosaid jajajajaja, your bmw line 5 E12 in my country is very economic, in price 20% of valor of mercedes w123. cost a bmw E12 77-82---1500--3000 dolars. mercedes w123 77-82----9.000 to 17.000 dollar. litlle diference true?.
MERCEDES EXPENSIVE CLASSIC---BMW FOR SALE CLASSIC.
Die heutigen BMW sind eine optische Zumutung, Bangle hat BMWs sachlichen Technik-Mythos zum "BRING MICH WERKSTATT" Türkenschlitten im Wimperntierchen Design degradiert!
Benutze Zweitaktöl 1:100 im Benzin, das beschützt die empfindlichen alten Alu Legierungen der Vintage Motoren und das ganze Kraftstoffsystem vor Korrosion durch den heutigen Sprit mit 5-10% Methanol....die Weber Vergaser werden es Dir danken auch die oberen Zylinderandteile...den Tip habe ich von Bosch und Ferrari Meister von ferrari Eberlein kassel
My '81 E12 528i had very noise tappets, I just removed the rocker cover and tightened them up to about 4/5 of workbook spec, it quietened it right up. The idle was a little lumpier however. I miss that car.
Wow, ein schönes Auto! Sowas verkauft man doch nicht ;-) Mein Vater hat auch ca. 20 Jahre einen E12 gefahren, allerdings das etwa 5 Jahre jüngere Modellpflege-Modell.
i wishd id had 7 e12 some day and one e12 at my garage a beige one

Das Auto ist ja sehr gut erhalten. Solche Autos sollten se heute wieder herstellen und nicht so Wakuumplaste-Ökoautos mit Hybrid

No it's fine, mine had the same issue. It's the rockers, I bought a head from a salvage yard rebuilt and swapped.
Gorgeous car.

Dein Opa scheint den sehr gepflegt zu haben. Schade das er Ihn verkauft. Wird wohl nur noch für einen Sammler/Liebhaber in frage kommen.
