1994 525i
Charcole with tan leather
133,000 with all books and documentation. Original sales contract, everthing.
Exterior isn't bad, runs great, interior looks 25 years old.
Drive it regularly
Found it on a used lot for $1200 and it purred like a kitten so I grabbed it. Has some electrical issues, from browsing here pretty standard stuff. Fixed the blower resistor, btw, on a 94 525 it's on the drivers side by the firewall above the throttle pedal.

I’ll chime in:

1) Model Year: 1997
2) Model Number: 540i

9) Ownership history, when did you buy it, etc....

I bought the car in January of 2020 with 128k. It is originally from Florida which explains the sun faded roof and trunk. The PO before me bought it at an auction. The exterior is in rough shape but no rust. I plan to bring it back to it’s glory as money and time allows. Luckily it has a solid m62 and 6mt.
