SWEET BMW 535i -- 5 SPEED -- DINAN -- BBS-RS --$6,000 IN MAIT THIS YEAR (http://www.panjo.com/buy/sweet-bmw-535i-5-speed-dinan-bbs-rs-6-000-in-mait-this-year-29535)
Up for sale is one of my personal cars. All of the cars that you might have seen in the past are for clients but this is my own car so know it VERY well. The story, this car has been owned by a friend and around me for about 20 years. It had always been very well maintained. I have 20 pages of all sorts of work that was done dating back to 1993 with totals of over $11,000. About 12 years ago it was forgotten and left in a garage in Bedford, NY and not driven much just fired up to keep the motor good. Friend called and said "I know your a car nut, do you want my 5 series". Being I love these and knew the car history back 20 years, it was a must. I went to see it for the first time in 15 years, it looked sad, dirty, barn find of sorts, wish I had a picture for you, flat tires, muffler rusted off and on the floor, filthy dirty. Car was running but needed A LOT of work to be road worthy again. I then spent over $6,000 to bring it back to life (have all records of work done) as it needed all new suspension rubber, major tune up and a lot of sorting out. It had been re-painted 20 years ago with an updated color, an amazing looking BMW metallic green. First thing I did was wash it off and polish it, the car looked great once again considering it has the same paint job you see here today. It was done very well, all the jambs, color matched filler panels, blacked out bumpers and all trim. That's how I came to get her and below will go over what I've done within the past 10 months.
New gas tank, both fuel pumps, value adjustment, belts, tune up, oil, rear dif oil changed, trans oil changed. All rubber, thrust bushings, sub frame bushings, center carrier bearing, rotflex, support rod bushings and clutch slave. Anything rubber after 12 years was shot. After all this was done in April of 2013 I was able to start driving it again for the first time in 12 years! I put about 1,000 miles on it and made a list of a bunch more items that needed fixing after having some miles put on it. Tach / speedo not working, brake light out, fog light out and a few other things that all got fixed. Car has never been hit hard that we know of or that I can find and is once again running and driving great. I have now driven the car about 3,000 miles with no issues. She runs and drives just great for a car with so many miles and 29 years old. It has a Dinan chip so pulls real nice and a set of comp springs so lowered and handles great.
The items that need some attention or can be left alone depending if you just want to have as a driver. The old dash cluster tach wasn't working, had shown 262,455 when I got it, what I think the car has on it and based on all records dating back seems correct. Replaced it with another unit so tach / speedo now working but not the odometer and shows brake/ABS/brake lining light. Had all checked and nothing wrong with brakes, I think the new used cluster is off a bit as well or needs work, this unit showing 236,000 ish. I hit the front spoiler on a curb stop so has a line crack running across bottom center 8 inches, cant be seen from 2 feet away and I touched up. The car has some rust, little spot on front right fender, some way down on the rockers and looks worse as your seeing the under coating peeling as well, small spot on front right shock tower and one inch spot on right front sub frame rail, neither an issue at this point and an easy fix. It had some crazy $5,000 stereo put in years ago (sub woofer box, amps) but I didn't try and get it working and not working at this time but all there. Has 8 way power seats, not all positions working but up down and back and forth do. BBS RS 3 piece, need cleaning up, see them out there for $2,500 -- $3,000 for a done set so cant get hurt having them on the car, car also needs tires.
