About the BMW 528i E28 #28 Guitteny / Bleyinie 24 Hours of Spa 1982 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast BMW 528i E28 reproduces Guitteny and Bleyinie's #28 entry from the 24 Hours of Spa in 1982. It captures BMW's E28 touring car livery from one of European motorsport's toughest endurance events.

The Spa 24 Hours has always rewarded reliability as much as speed, and this E28 diecast represents one of the entries that took on that challenge in 1982.

IXO's Diecast of a Privateer 528i at Spa

The E28's boxy, upright saloon lines are rendered cleanly in diecast, with period sponsor decals and the number 28 applied across the doors and roof. IXO's touring car range typically favours livery accuracy over interior fidelity, and that approach fits an endurance racer whose visual identity comes from its paint scheme rather than any exotic bodywork. The E28 generation, BMW's 5 Series from the early to mid 1980s, made a natural touring car base thanks to a well-balanced chassis and strong straight-six power, qualities the diecast's stance and proportions hint at even without opening features.

The 24 Hours of Spa's Touring Car Tradition

Spa-Francorchamps has hosted its 24-hour touring car race since the early 1960s, and by 1982 it had become one of the toughest tests on the European calendar, punishing cars and crews over a full day and night on a demanding, high-speed circuit. BMW's 5 Series models were regular fixtures in that era's touring car grids, and an entry like this one, driven by Guitteny and Bleyinie, represents the depth of competition rather than a single headline result. Endurance racing at Spa demanded consistency as much as outright pace, a quality this 528i's class of entry embodied.

A Supporting Entry Beside the Class-Winning 528i

Displayed alongside the class-winning 528i from the same 1982 race, this car fills out the grid honestly, giving a Spa 24 Hours display real depth rather than a single isolated highlight.
