View Full Version : I bought this '90 535i for $500
Synthetic Darkness 09-05-2006, 03:28 AM I just wanted to share with you guys my newest edition to my BMW family. Last Weds I bought this 1990 535i 5 speed for $500. I purchased it from a friend. The car has a bad head gasket at the very least. Most likely a cracked head though. The car has H&R sport springs, Bilstein sport shocks, a Pioneer head unit, full cloth interior, 18in BMW replica wheels, New Nitto 555 235/40r18s, stress bar, tint, tri-flo SS cat-back exhaust, E.A.T. chip, and alarm with remote start. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Even in the condition the car is in it still runs very strong. The car has 143,000 miles on it.

So now I have a '89 325i 5 speed, a '90 535i 5 speed, and a '94 325is 5 speed.
xatlas0 09-05-2006, 04:01 AM Man, that is such a good deal, it must qualify as grand theft auto, somewhere.
Congrats!
attack eagle 09-05-2006, 04:06 AM no kidding, I wish i could run across one like that for that price. The wheels alone would justify such a purchase.
Synthetic Darkness 09-05-2006, 05:19 AM Yeah, I figured I'd be stupid not to.
kirasam70 09-05-2006, 07:20 AM Wow. Did you check the glove compartment in that. There is probably a winning lottery ticket too. Hell of a deal you got.
splackavellie 09-05-2006, 07:51 AM thats one hell of a friend you got there...
i need friends like that :(
atl530i 09-05-2006, 08:22 AM Nice buy, I would have bought it just for the rims alone. Congrats :)
gota525i 09-05-2006, 08:45 AM great pick up, looks very nice!!!!
ILoveMPower 09-05-2006, 09:33 AM You son of a bitch!
With the alpina reps? AHHH!!
EDIT: get rid of those eyebrows
Antrieb 09-05-2006, 09:39 AM I love finding $500 deals! I've had a few myself...
1986 325es- Free!
1975 2002- $500
1985 MBZ 500SEL- $500
All of these were actually in good shape, except the 2002. I sold the '86 for $1500, the 2002 for $1000, and the MBZ for $2000
DigitalRelay 09-05-2006, 10:40 AM Wow! Great deal!
Smactuna 09-05-2006, 12:26 PM crazy deal nice car
Fastx525ixGuy 09-05-2006, 12:59 PM Other than the trim around the windshield (wtf is that?), its looks GREAT

The trim is missing.
Man badass deal
BMRSEB 09-05-2006, 02:06 PM The trim is missing.
That's right.. yours (Fast525ixGuy), will be coming off soon too.. Ask me how I know..:stickoutt
And that little piece of plastic is around $100 each per side and the clips of which you'll need about 15-20 are about $2 apiece if you do both sides of the windshield....
Dude.. he jacked you!!!!.... let me help you out (Cuz I'm a nice guy)... I'll give you $800 to take that POS off your hands...
Do you have any more friends?
hootie 09-05-2006, 04:16 PM Dude.. he jacked you!!!!.... let me help you out (Cuz I'm a nice guy)... I'll give you $800 to take that POS off your hands...
hahahahaha
Mr Project 09-05-2006, 05:17 PM Nice! Makes the deals I got on the Touring and my parts car seem like getting raped. :) Way to go, replace that HG and save that beauty!
atl530i 09-05-2006, 05:24 PM Damnit, it seems like I can never find deals like that around here. I did get a car for free, but the body was in rough shape. I sold a car for $2300 and bought it back for $500. I guess you can say those are deals, but they do not compare to your E34. Have fun with it :)
Hell of a deal!! Lucky guy!
you should've bought lottery tickets on your way home...
525iT_Feen 09-05-2006, 06:36 PM Is it a manual? Either way, you got on HELL of a deal! congrats man. Enjoy it.
angrypancake 09-05-2006, 07:56 PM Is it a manual? Either way, you got on HELL of a deal! congrats man. Enjoy it.
damn! beat me to it, +2389746234234 if it's a 5 speed, I'll give you $506 for it!
Frost 09-05-2006, 10:42 PM you should've bought lottery tickets on your way home...
Lol i would of, just to test my luck. Nice buy, i would never run across a deal like that, specially with the friends i have. My friends dad trys to sell me cars half price all the time but this can never compare.
edbd1 09-06-2006, 12:25 AM Wow, what a deal. I'd love to be able to score a deal like that.:eyecrazy
Man, you're going to jail! :)
Synthetic Darkness 09-06-2006, 02:50 AM The car is a 5 speed with a new transmission my work replaced a year ago. I need to get the windshield trim replaced but other than that it's great. The eyebrows are long gone btw...
323I Junkie 09-06-2006, 07:51 AM Ill give you 1500 for it right now
what a jerk :D
Hey, do us a favor, and with the money you saved on that thing put in a MM 3.6 litewr stroker low comrpession and a TCD turbo
that is all
Mr Project 09-06-2006, 09:23 AM If you are looking for windsheild trim, I have some on the parts car I'd sell.

Nutbeem 09-07-2006, 12:53 PM Yeah, $500 AND the big bag of weed he forgot to mention...
ILoveMPower 09-07-2006, 02:50 PM You have the essential BMW collection IMO...
(minus M-models of course)
525iT_Feen 09-07-2006, 04:30 PM Yeah, $500 AND the big bag of weed he forgot to mention...
