1987 BMW E28 | Warwick, Warwickshire

The BMW E28 is the second-generation 5 Series, a formal executive saloon from the 1980s. It is liked for its clean, upright lines and a driver-focused cabin, with the centre console angled towards the driver. This car is white with a beige interior, a light, restrained pairing that photographs cleanly. It has a 1.8-litre petrol engine, seats four and is in very good condition. The squared-off body gives a clear period silhouette, and the pale cabin brightens interior shots. For 1980s-set film and TV, advertising and photography, the saloon shape reads as period at once. Music videos and editorial shoots get an understated executive car, and displays centred on classic BMWs suit its calm character. Weddings and personal hires are served by its smart, quiet presence. The car is based in Warwick, Warwickshire.
