    looked at a 90 535i (to buy)

    What's up?
    I'm new here and I had a few questions. I looked at a 90 535i this afternoon. There are a few things I noticed that are keeping me from getting it. First of all the car started without pressing on the clutch. Is there not a clutch switch on these?
    Also the sunroof seemed to be out of alignment. How hard is that to fix?
    The shifter was EXTREMLY sloppy. It felt like a friends 92 Saturn Anyone have any idea what would cause that? Any help would be really appreciated.

    Thanks

    As far as I know, BMWs of this vintage do not have a clutch switch.

    I have never messed with the sunroof, but according to Bentley it looks easy to do.

    A sloppy shifter can be a couple of things. Mine in similar, but not too bad. Get under the car and check the linkage. The shifter connects to another arm. A nut/bolt connects the two. Check and see it's tight or worn. I haven't had a chance to inspect mine further.
