Postscript: E28 versus W123

Guest contributor Rob Richardson offers the following thoughts on the BMW E28 vis–à–vis the W123, having owned both:

They are both brilliant cars, but your choice should come down to this: do you want to go fast or do you want to go far? If you require any level of dynamic performance get an E28. I’d say from a handling and performance point of view the E28 has it covered; I mean who doesn’t want to drive a 3.5 6-pot fast!?

The W123 on the other hand, for me, will only ever be a Gentleman’s express: point it where you want to go, sit back, relax, and effortlessly cover vast distances.

  1. The E28 will eat up the miles too.
    We do a 3K + roadtrip every year in one of ours,
    that includes a combination of interstates and state hwys in TX, AR, LA, MS, AL and GA and some of the best backroads NC, VA, WV, KY, and TN have to offer.
