Description

Fantastic 1985 BMW 535i E28 with M30 motor and 5 speed manual transmission.
Runs good, ooks good. Needs some TLC but can drive cross country right now.
I had planed on doing some custom mods to it but simply don't have the time. This car is a unmolested all original classic except for the paint. It has been repainted at sometime in the past.

Sunroof does not open, emp gauge not working, his car is not perfect but runs and drive great. It runs out smooth and quite with really good power. Good tires and wheels, o vibrations or pulling, /C works but needs a shoot of Freon to be really cold, ower seats, ower windows, ower locks.

I'm open to realistic offers but please don't waste my time.

Thank you for taking a look.

******* Received some questions about the underside and rust so I added pictures. It appears that the car was undercoated, nd as you can see in the photos is very clean underneath. There are a few tiny surface bubbles on the corner of the sunroof, nd some surface rust in a few spots along the edge of the floor pan. I am posting answers to questions below for everyone to review.

Please continue to ask any and all questions you may have. Thanks

Tires are 2 different sets, ront match and rear match. They are in good condition with 25-33% tread left.
I have been driving the car the last couple of days and it is ready and safe.
I do not know much about the history. I bought it locally as a custom project and parked it in my garage a few months ago.
I have uploaded new photos and notes concerning rust to my ad. There is little to no rust as the pictures show. There is a tiny rust hole in the trunk under the carpet, bout the size of a pea.
Body is good, ar was repainted at some time in the past. It holds a shine but is spotty in areas.
All fluids are full and clean.
I see no rust on frame or suspension.
I have no service records.
Photos of the bottom of the car have been posted on the ad.
No idea when the car was last serviced as I have no records. Fluids appear clean, hat's all I can tell you.
No idea about the timing chain other than its not slapping and making noise.
I have not had the wheels off but the brakes, uspension, nd exhaust are quite and fully operation with the exception of the ABS light that's intermittently on due to a sensor as stated in AD.
Thanks for the questions.

Engine is slightly rough for the first 5 seconds when cold, ay just be the old gas. Other than that, ngine, earbox, lutch all seem fine.
As stated in the ad, unroof does not open, peedometer/odometer is not working.
Heater works and blows hot.
the car does not blow any smoke.
Car does not consume or loose any oil.

Thank You

Undercoating is in tact.
Glass is fine.
Window trims are in tact and could use painting/polishing
Interior is in good condition as posted photos show.
Additional photos including undercarriage added to ad.
I'm starting my own business and am raising funds. If you see my other items for sale you will see I'm also selling a 633csi (E24) and a set Euro Metric BBS wheels and tires.
The car seams fine, have not checked anything as far as plugs,cap,rotor, tc.
As stated in the Ad, peedometer/odometer are intermittent.
Please keep in mind that although this 30 year old car is safe and sound, f it was in showroom condition the price would be 10 times higher.
Thank You
