The E28 BMW 5-Series is a very restrained product of the sex-obsessed 80s. Its sober lines and monolithic appearance still make it an imposing machine today, although it’s much more than its look that have made this family get one for each member.

Petrolicious tells the tale of Caccavos – Dean, DonnaRae and their son Austin. Here, the traditional family hierarchy is reflected in the model choices here: Dean drives the M5, his wife the efficient 528 e and his son a 535i (the flashiest of the group).

Austin has given his car period correct gold BBS wheels which go excellently with the red paint and lowered stance. It’s the least family car-like of the trio (even the M5 looks more practical), but as e explains he’s done nothing to compromise its usability.
