Owen,
In 1981, there was only the E12. The E28 didn't show up until ~'85
depending upon in what country you live.
BTW, You may want to look into the FirstFives group, since yours is one
of the first fives.

I have just bought by first BMW, a 518 built in 1981. It is very
beat-up,
needs alotof work, but I am having trouble identifying whether it is an
E12
or an E28, since I believe that in 1981 BMW produced 518 in both
varieties.
How do I know which it is?
