Come and get it!!
1987 E28 535is
138,xxx miles
When i bought this car there was never a plan to sell it, i always thought it would remain in the family. Here it is not even a year later and it’s going up for sale. I’m looking to get into racing more seriously and must give up a car to do so. I bought this car out of Dallas where is spent its entire life.
The car was single owner until 2009 when an e28 enthusiast bought it and went through the whole car. I have many of the maintenance records going back to when it was new. It was an auto but had a 5 speed "type 265" swapped in. The entire exterior was gone over to remove dings and repainted it, the roof didn't have the same wear so it was left alone. An interior shop has recovered all the seats in leatherette and a perforated fabric, looks amazing.
It also has the original glass sunroof, no Saab glass here. The JVC stereo has every input you might want. I have a Ipod hooked to it as well as USB thumb drive full of MP3s. Amps are under the rear seat and there is a sub in the trunk but you’d never know it since there is a panel to cover it.
The only issues with the car are as follows.
* Small sunroof leak, i have the gaskets so that’s an easy fix.
* The AC motor squeals sometimes but i grease it and it goes away. If you live somewhere hot I'd replace the motor and have the AC recharged.
As for the euro conversion....the guys i used to paint and install the bumpers and valence did an awesome job. They restore muscle cars and do amazing work. I have a few minor things to do like hook up the fogs but it’s near perfect. There are few things left to do on the conversion but i haven’t been able to find the time lately.
I’m trying to provide a clear and honest portrayal of this car. It’s one of the cleanest I've ever seen and has been babied by me....for the year I've owned it.
Anyway, more details are below. I can provide more details or additional photos upon request.
I’ll be getting another E28 one day, perhaps one that’s not so damn clean so i don’t have to be so anal
