Must have been a police car or similar. Note manual windows and dash mounted reading light for passenger.

Fire department car, that is what is mentioned.
That is why it has only 74.000 km so far.

Awesome. I wasn't too sure if the 520i got the same wide grille treatment "upgrade" as did the 525i in the much-later years of the E34 run, this shows that it did.

The centre console looks pretty different too, below the air vent controls...

Haha yeah, and just saw off the exhaust and weld on some turndowns for the same effect.....and welding the doors shut is a requirement.

Herr General Lee! Put a Confederate flag on top and an '01' on the side and you've got yourself a sale! (just noticed I'm not the first one to suggest this) :D

I like the orange. But the photos look funky, I'm suspecting some photochoppage. I think Dave is right on with his feedback observation.

you can find all sorts of great cars doubling as Fire department/police vehicles over here. Gotta love the bright orange though, most of what I see is more a red than a screaming pumpkin.

That's a little too orange, even for me.

There are more cars for sale on the German fire brigade net. How about an E36 Touring, used as
Feuerwehr Komandofahrzeug / Notarzt
control/command car/emergency doctor
