Yes, the E38. I have always loved these curves and the engine isn't making it worse.
The only issue was that the previous owner didn't realise that a car need service and so on, so it was a steal at $7500...
Rebuilt the engine last winter and she is humming now.

an amazing car, enjoy it and take care about it very well

I still remember, you can let the engine run and stand a 5 D-Mark coin on the engine and it won’t fall

Here in Greece if the car is new there is no inspection for 4 years ,you do it every 2 years after wards but you have to have emissions inspection every year.The insurance company does not care if the car has past inspection or not but for the last 8 years its a crime to drive with out insurance,you only got a penalty fine before that. If you are caught without an inspection you have a 400 euro fine but it will be reduced to 50 euros if you inspect the car with in 10 days.No emission inspection is 100 euros fine which you cant reduce.
To get inspected you can go to government inspection point or private authorized inspection points.
Got carried away and forgot to ask is the car ok with out problems ? Probably the electrics might need a boost from not moving for so long! Its a classic car have fun with it. A 1988 325is was my first ever car when i was student in the US.
