The time has come for the 535 to find a new home

[skateparks]

1991 535/5 speed 32,xxx miles. Third owner with all records (bairely any receipts with such low mileage).

$13,500 (NOT interested in lowballs) and will arrange for shipping at buyers expense. Will deliver to ANY garage for PPI within reason.

Not in a hurry to sell but I just have too much love for M-cars and HP and if I keep it I am going to turbo it. This car is fully documented with all records since new (except window sticker) and has all factory options including heated seats and LSD.

It is COMPLETELY stock except for BavAuto springs (originals included). I checked the ECU and it has not been chipped, paint is unbroken.

Original wheels are perfect as is the engine bay, brake calipers, exhaust, etc. Never in snow that I know of (certainly not since 1996 anyway) and had service II done at 30,500 miles...in 1996. The car presently has 32,xxx miles and is nearly showroom condition except for some paint flaws including some rock chipping and several small (removable) dents from garage storage. Will need repaint to be a concours winner but I'm not into shows so I never saw the need.

Car runs and drives perfectly and ALL options, OBC, sunroof, etc all operate as new. The car is driven weekely, weather permitting, but has not seen rain in over 10 years.

The car is ready to be driven anywhere. I would suggest before it heads across the country the brake fluids, anitfreeze and assorted fluids be flushed and changed. I can arrange for this depending on seriousness of offers and of course selling price. Trades welcome but I am a picky SOB and don;t have time to travel far. If you want to trade me your e28 or e34 M5, '95 540/6 or e30 M3 and you are willing to drive here and drive home I'll give it consideration. If the deal warrants I have cash to accompany this car for the right car.

Pictures below are of the car are from the day I bought the car out of storage without cleaning, waxing or detail.

Amazingly low miles.

Time to pull out your buffer if you haven't already! ;)

I'm glad to see you arent going to turbo that particular one. So what will replace it in the stable?

[clevertd]

Glad to see you could come to a decision on it, good luck with the sale.

So what will replace it in the stable?

I've been giving a lot of thought to doing an e30 turbo project but top on the list right now is just putting the money into the e39. The problem with modding the M5 is that I can buy already done cars for less than I already paid for mine before the mods. It's kind of like throwing money away in one sense, especially since the car is already pretty fast.

Two other possibilities are a 17000 mile Euro M6 or an S50 converted e30 M3 Cabrio clone in Rhode Island. Tough decisions...

Go for the m3 cabrio replica. It used to belong to my good friend Brian "Snarcher!" when it was stock

[skateparks]

There's not much left stock from what I hear...

[Zackb911]

Turbo E30!! The M6 would be another garage queen you would be afraid to enjoy... Since you do not want to mod the M5 this could be your toy/canvas to mod or due what you want with, minus the guilt:)

Very true. I have had the pleasure of knowing the car stock and modded. He sold it to the present owner (Ryan?) and then Ryan finished the m3 replica body panels, paint, interior, 5-lug conversion, s50, ect in a couple months then I got to see it a few times last spring and over the summer at Lime Rock Park.

just a question, you said all options but doesn't look like the car has the sports package. can you clarify for me?

Sport Package was on 95 540i's only.

[mose121]

Sport Package was on 95 540i's only.

so only pre 95 535's had the SP option then?

[skateparks]

Sport was only an option on 540iA's and standard on 540/6's. It was not available on 525's or 535's. The sport package on the 540's basically consisted of the front seats as the rest of the car was the same.

[94530inh]

where in maine aree you? Would you be interrested in my 530i and some cash? I want something with an m30 so I can turbo it.

[skateparks]

I'm in Kennebunkport. Not really interested in a 530...

[mose121]

wait a minute, I know I've seen 525/535 e34 sport package cars. 525's sp's came with basketweaves instead of bottle caps, but no seats. 535 got the sport seats. Maybe not in MY95 cars, but I sware I've seen them.

[skateparks]

Could be, I wouldn't argue. I've never seen sport seats in anything other than a 540 and M5 and as far as the basketweaves go, I have no idea.

[neoman]

spoprts seats are available over here in ireland on the 525I sport and the 535i aswell. i have a 525i with full leather sport interior
