Non affiliated: m535i (allegedly) on ebay

Post by muleskinner »

So many unanswered questions, but is it a pile of junk or a potential diamond in the rough?

Looks like the VIN checks out as a M535i. They were selling it for $9k on Craigslist, but with about 4 hrs to go it’s over $12k on ebay. Looks to be in decent shape, especially if it’s been in MI for any time.

This has been run recently in the past (2 months ago?)

I’m assuming he didn’t get what he wanted for it and declined the sale. If you read his eBay reviews, he has a history of doing so.

I've seen this in person. Needs a ton of work!

I'd be careful with this. VIN tag riveted in the wrong spot, weird stuff around the body vin stamped. Says it's a DC71 but it's got an auto TPS (makes me wonder about the motor a bit) front grille support is caved in too.

I guess it is a really Achatgrün M535i though. 1/86 production.
