THE OVERVIEW Offered for an appreciating new owner is this rare classic 1987 BMW 535is E28 sedan! Finished in mostly ALL ORIGINAL Alpine white on light tan interior, this 535is is absolutely one of the cleanest, best looking and driving examples I have experienced! It has amazing been driven an average of 12,000 miles per year [just over 300,000 total miles since new]. This 99.99% rust-free California specimen sports the venerable 3.5 liter 182 horsepower inline six cylinder engine mated to the rare and desirable 5 speed manual transmission. Stopping power is provided by four wheel disc brakes with anti-lock [ABS]. Other features on the genuine factory "is" sport model include custom painted gold-centered 17" Style 5 BBS wheels with brand new Dunlop rubber [you may also have the extra set of 15" BMW mesh wheels with tires], COLD A/C, upgraded CD stereo, electric windows and sunroof, cruise control and electric Recaro-sourced factory sport seats. This stunning classic BMW 535is sedan is a great find for about the cost of the sales tax alone on a new quickly-depreciating five series BMW sedan! PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS. ALSO PLEASE EMAIL ME FOR MANY MORE DETAILED PHOTOS THE BODY AND TRIM As I hope is articulated in the many photos here, the exterior of this 1987 BMW 535is is in excellent to near-mint condition overall. This absolutely near perfectly rust-free California gem shows most all original paint [it looks like the left rear quarter had some paintwork] with a nice lustrous finish. It sports custom painted 17" style 5 BBS sport wheels new Dunlop performance tires with lowered suspension for a fabulous look! Imperfections on this beauty include some scuffing on the factory front spoiler along with miscellaneous minor nicks and other blemishes. Overall this is a VERY nice example that will most certainly garner attention everywhere you drive! THE INTERIOR The interior of this 1987 BMW is in very good to excellent original condition throughout! It features beautiful seat upholstery with working electric adjustments on the seats including headrests, beautiful crack-free dash, nice original carpets and door panels, cold a/c, good heat and all gauges and controls in excellent working order! NOTES: While the three-spoke steering wheel is currently installed on the car, I will also include a nice M-badged steering wheel. Also the car currently has an "ETA" tachometer. I will include for new owner a correct tachometer. AND.....I also have an E28 M5 tan leather interior which I might include with purchase!] Overall this is one very cool classic very well-preserved still handsome and comfortable cockpit! THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This classic BMW starts, runs, shifts, brakes and handles very well truly epitomizing the essence of a classic BMW sedan! The 3.5 liter inline six cylinder engine is on of the most durable power plants of all time and this one delivers on that promise running beautifully free of any leaks or issues at over 300K miles! The transmission is butter smooth, the brakes stop with supreme prowess and the suspension [even lowered as it is] soaks up bumps with aplomb, free of any clunks or rattles! With its open airy cockpit and that undeniable BMW feel, this 535is is an absolute joy to drive on the open road! THE DETAILS AND $$$$$ 1.
