Non-affiliated for sale May 2021

Post by RonW »

1988 535i, Long Island https://longisland.craigslist.org/cto/d ... 08413.html

This makes the $7,500 I paid for my 535is w/ 66k miles back in 2002 look like a bargain.

1988 BMW 5 Series 535i - Mileage: 206,844 Bluffdale, UT - $12,500

VIN:WBADC7401J1719472

Image


This 1988 BMW 535i is a mildly modified example from the final year of E28 sedan production which is powered by a 3.5 liter inline-six paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox. This car has over $20k in mechanical maintenance over the last six and a half years along with several cosmetic, interior, and suspension upgrades(all records pictured). An older repaint in white covers the original Cirrusblau Metallic and includes all four door jambs, though its engine bay and trunk were not painted. The finish is glossy in some areas but has faded and chipped in others(all chips pictured). An Audi 4000 spoiler has been mounted to the trunk lid, and both roundel badges are new. Refurbished 17×8″ BBS two-piece Style 5 wheels wear mirror-polished lips, baked-on finishes, freshened and correctly torqued hardware, new OEM center caps, and BFG Advantage All Season sport tires. A set of large rally lights has been added to the US-market front bumper and wired in with a relay, augmenting a new turn signal lens and brake light switch. Custom hand-stitched upholstery covers the front Comfort seats, rear bench, dashboard, shift boot, and front arm rests. All fits tightly and shows little wear setting off presentable door panels that are free of sagging or delamination and are equipped with new door handles A used instrument cluster was installed alongside all the other modifications and is likely to be the third fitted to the car, so its actual mileage remains unknown. A modern head unit with USB input has replaced the original stereo and powers uncovered aftermarket speakers in the front kick panels. Bosch Motronic fuel injection draws from a fresh fuel tank via replacement external and in-tank fuel pumps with a new relay and pressure regulator. Both the clutch master and slave cylinders were replaced along with fresh hydraulic hoses within the last year. New driveline also installed within the last year.
This car loves to be driven and is especially exceptional on long highway drives.It is currently located in Las Vegas, Nevada but I am willing to ship to any of the surrounding states included with purchase.

Looks like a decent car. No under illumation on that bad boy. I'm scrolling through the pics, and I'm thinking "what is that godawful gaudy 80s looking gold building in the background?" Oh. Trump hotel.

Likely inop odometer.

No engine pics.

Failing paint (recolor from cirrus to white).

$12.5 seems steep.

More than I'm willing to spend on an automatic, but looks like a decent car...

Seems steep but at least its more realistic when compared to that rather misguided guy in Houston who put his red E28 up for over 30k before lowering the price numerous times. Not sure if it ever sold or for how much.

There is a blue 535is on Facebook in Austin TX. I’ve looked at and driven it. It’s rough, missing front valance, car has little to no brakes. Interior rough but zero rust paint is gone. All power stuff seemed to work as well. He wants 3500. I think it’s a little high.

Currently for sale? I ask because the same car was sold last month or so.

1986 535i 5 speed. Not many (any) details in the advert, but first impression looks pretty good. They have it in the ‘parts for sale’ section so probably haven’t had many eyes on it.
