NO RESERVE RARE vintage Bimmer! Clean excellent original shinny platinum silver 535is car with no major issues or bad noises. All books, records, and clear title in my hand and included. Garage kept. Oil changes. Maintained and driven daily. This dependable BMW will get you home anywhere in the US or Canada so feel free to fly in and drive home. I will pick you up at the airport in South Bend Indiana. Texas car previously, now located in north central Indiana (zip 46528 Goshen,IN south of I80/90 toll road and US20) This legendary solid E30 Big Six is known for its reliability and power and does not burn any oil. Had new clutch at 155K and tranny solid ,shifts great. New tires and correct size replacement battery a couple months ago. The rims and radio are the only non orig items. I do not have the orig TRX rims except for the spare in the trunk. The orig radio is also gone. I have 4 newer VOXX17's alloy performance wheels. These 17's make this car handle like its on rails! Many new items last couple years including power steering lines, exhaust, rotors and calipers, brake master cylinder, front blistein sport shocks, front suspension bushings control arms, exhaust, battery, tires, fan motor, light bulbs, engine, differential, and tranny fluids changed and some other things I'm probably forgetting. Interior is extra clean and all the black leather has been conditioned and is not hard or dry. No holes or cracks. Power seats all work fine. Dash is original without typical cracks. Sunroof functions like new and does not leak! Headliner is in great cond. All lights are working. The only issue I ocassionally have is the pass front pwr window won't go down until I shut that door. All other electrical items work fine. A/C does not blow cold but Compressor still turns free. Heat works great. Cruise control works perfect. Body very solid but not perfect. A few dings and dents. Driver door bottom corner is worst spot on whole car (pictured). Rear bumper has typical aluminum stress cracks from age. This car is very fun, dependable and I get alot of nice comments from other auto enthusists. My appoligies, I forgot to set the date on my new camera. I took all pics on July 31st 2010. I love this car and hate to sell her. This car is the perfect balance of practical and fun. I can fit my kidos and when I'm alone its my sports car. Happy to set an appointment for your inspection. I prefer balance in green cash in hand at time of pick up. This 22 yr old BMW has been accurately described. It is however being sold "as is, with all faults. I have a great reputation on ebay and will not mislead interested buyers. Good luck bidding!On Aug-16-10 at 20:18:17 PDT, seller added the following information: Body and paint are all original.
