1986 BMW 535i 5 speedONLY 87K Miles! I have for sale a 1986 BMW 535i with some rare euro goodies. The car was found in a barn in southern Georgia and was not driven for years. The car has original 87,000 miles on it. I started to restore her but ran out of time and money. My loss is your gain. The car is in pretty good shape with some dings and scratches on the hood and one of the fenders. The paint is still in pretty good shape, but considering it has the original single stage paint on it, it could use a good buff to bring out the shine! There is minimal rust on it from what I could find. I have owned quite a few e28s and e30s and have seen much much worse. What is on there could easily be fixed. When I started to restore it I found a REAL euro M535i that was imported over to Georgia and then was totaled out in a front end collision. I was fortunate enough to grab a few euro goodies off the car. I took the rare Euro Getrag 265 transmission which was never available in the US Market. I also took the M535i dashboard which includes the center vent on the top which was never functional in the US cars. Since the original 1986 cluster did not work, I also took the M535i M5 cluster. This is why the cluster says 128k miles, but rest assured the car has only 87k miles on it. See the picture of the title. There are plenty of other parts on the car which is listed below. The Bad: The car runs and idles fine, but for some reason when the clutch is engaged the engine wants to die. I think this could be a simple solution being a vacuum line or bad MAF. I don’t have time to tinker with it as I have quite a few other projects. For this reason the car will have to be towed or trailered back to your location. Needs a catback exhaust as well. This is unfortunate but the amount of rare parts on the car will make up for it. This is your chance to get a nice E28 at a bargain price! Parts on the car: Interior: -Cardinal comfort seats -Cardinal Door cards (front door card has cut outs for speakers. speakers are included but I did not want to cut into the door. Your choice) -M5 cluster -Almost crack free Rare Euro M535i dash w/ center vent (dash has one small crack about a half inch long. SEE PIC) -Rare Euro rear headrests -Complete tool kit with microfiber cloth -Sport Wheel -Black M5 headliner -Euro front seatbelt retainers (SEE PIC) -New Cocoa twill floor mats -Rare Euro spare wheel (Only available in Europe) Exterior: -Euro Lights & grills -Euro Bumpers (black rubber trim not included) -Mtech rear spoiler -Euro Turn signals Engine/Drivetrain -Getrag 265 manual Transmission -New rubber intake boot -Newly remanufactured drive shaft with new gumbo and center support bearing from Beyer Drive shafts (SEE PIC) Brakes: -E32 Big Brake kit upgrade I would love to see this going to a good home and fully restored to its glory. I feel like there are a lot of great parts on the car, and it just needs a little more love from someonethat has a little more knowledge of the M30 engine. Happy Bidding!
