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

TL;DR: The IXO BMW 528i E28 1:18 reproduces the #28 touring car entry driven by Guitteny and Bleyinie at the 1982 24 Hours of Spa, a demanding endurance round for European touring car specification machinery. Diecast construction and period livery detail capture BMW's early-1980s touring car presence at Spa-Francorchamps.

The 24 Hours of Spa has tested touring cars on one of Europe's most physically demanding circuits since the 1920s, and BMW's E28-generation 5 Series was a regular contender there through the early 1980s.

IXO's Period Livery Work on the E28 Touring Car

The E28-generation 5 Series carried BMW's touring car ambitions through the early 1980s, and IXO's diecast reproduces the boxy, upright silhouette that defined the car before later 5 Series generations adopted smoother aerodynamics. The #28 livery's sponsor graphics and racing numbers are printed cleanly across the body panels, and the diecast construction gives the model real weight next to a resin equivalent at the same scale. Wheel arch flares and a subtly widened track reflect the car's touring-car specification rather than a stock road-going 528i, and the ride height sits appropriately lower than a standard sedan of the same generation. This is a model built around a specific period entry rather than a generic BMW road car livery.

Spa-Francorchamps and Early-1980s Touring Car Racing

The 24 Hours of Spa has long been one of the toughest tests in European touring car racing, run on a circuit whose elevation changes and fast sweeping corners punish underpowered or poorly balanced machinery over a full day of competition. BMW fielded the 528i alongside larger 635CSi coupes during this period, giving the German manufacturer a strong presence across multiple touring car classes at the event. Guitteny and Bleyinie's #28 entry represents that broader BMW effort at Spa in 1982, a period when touring car racing across Europe drew factory and privateer entries competing on genuinely similar machinery rather than the heavily developed specials that would follow in later decades. Reproducing this specific car and driver pairing gives the model real connection to that era's competitive landscape rather than a composite tribute livery.

Placing an E28 Racer in a BMW Touring Car Collection

This 528i works well alongside other early-1980s touring car diecast, particularly other BMW entries from the same Spa event or era, building a picture of the manufacturer's endurance racing presence before the later Group A period reshaped the category. IXO's mid-tier diecast pricing makes assembling a small multi-car grid from a single historic event realistic, rather than requiring investment-tier resin for each car. For collectors focused on 1980s European touring car history specifically, a period-correct entry like this one carries more value than a generic period BMW road car model.
