Info about this vehicle:

1974 BMW 520 Sedan - Green - 86,002 Miles - 2.0L Inline-4, 4-Speed ManualOverviewThe BMW 520 represents a pivotal moment in the Bavarian marque's history. Launched in 1972, the E12 generation 520 was the entry point to BMW's executive sedan range, offering the brand's engineering excellence and handling prowess to a broader market. The 520 occupied the sweet spot between the smaller 3-Series and the larger 630CS, delivering genuine performance and refinement in a compact, nimble package. This 1974 example is a period-correct right-hand-drive sedan, built during the model's golden era when BMW was establishing itself as a serious alternative to Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar in the premium market.This particular 520 presents as a genuine survivor from the mid-1970s. The green metallic exterior shows the patina and weathering you would expect from a vehicle of this age and mileage, with honest paint that tells the story of five decades on the road. The body panels remain straight and solid, with no evidence of major accident damage or structural compromise. The interior retains its original tan leather and cloth trim, showing appropriate wear consistent with the vehicle's 86,002-mile odometer reading. The dashboard, steering wheel, and switchgear are all original specification, and the manual gearbox and mechanical systems present as original throughout. This is a genuine, unrestored classic that has survived intact, complete with its original owner's manual and service logbook documenting its history.The 2.0-litre inline-four engine is the correct specification for this model year, paired with the original four-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel-drive layout. The engine bay shows appropriate patina and age-related surface corrosion on ancillaries, consistent with a vehicle that has been used and stored over decades rather than pampered in a climate-controlled garage. The spare wheel, tools, and original documentation all remain with the car. At a guide of approximately AUD $8,000 to $12,000 for a 520 of this vintage and condition, this represents genuine value for the classic BMW enthusiast seeking an authentic, unrestored example with documented history.ConditionThe exterior paint is original and weathered, with a dull patina across all panels. Minor stone chipping is visible on the bonnet leading edge and front wings. The green metallic finish shows fading consistent with age and sun exposure, particularly on the roof and bonnet. Lower body panels and trim exhibit light surface corrosion and oxidation. All four doors open and close smoothly. Window seals show deterioration and minor weeping is evident. The chrome trim and bumpers show pitting and oxidation appropriate to the vehicle's age. The interior upholstery is original tan leather and cloth, showing significant
