All of the above items have been done in the last 2 1/2 years. The clutch is 1 1/2 yrs old.

Total parts $5,900
Labor $4,500

Total $10,400

This car is almost all sorted. There are a couple of things that aren't done and/or issues. I just did a full tune up consisting of oil, oil filter, plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor, and valve adjustment before driving to 5er Fest in May of this year.

Headlight aim control does not function, go figure!

Missing tow hook covers (I have brand new ones, not installed or painted)

Stereo did not work when I purchased car. It had a massive stereo and alarm system and phone system. All of this was ripped out by me as it did not function. There are Three linear amps on a carpet covered board w/ soundstream crossovers. Also I have the mounting board that was under the rear deck that held two 10" subs. I am sure that the amps will work if hooked up to a new system. You can also have the Sony head unit and remote CD changer that came in the car. I'm not sure if this is functionable but may be. I'm not electrical savy for sure.

The Alpina valve cover will be swapped out for a black krinkle coated one.

The car was repainted, original color, about 3 years ago prior to my ownership. It is in very good shape. There are a few small stone chips. Overall paint condition I would say is an 8 out of 10.

The wheels have just been polished and look great on the black car.

That's about it. As you can tell, I have put many thousands of $$$ into the car. It does not need much, very well sorted.

There may be 30 - 40 of these cars in the U.S. A euro converted U.S. 535i went recently on ebay for $12,800 so I am thinking $12,000 for a car that you will surely be the only one around that has one. You can't put a price on originality.

Here are a few pictures, I can e-mail you more and bigger ones.

Thanks for the bandwidth

-Evan

Beautiful car!!!

Good luck with the sale!

wow...Really beautiful car!

Great looking car, someone buy this

That's the same steering wheel I have! :eyecrazy

At least my poor ole' E30 shares one thing in common with such a sexy beast... :drool:

goddamn.....will it pass ca emissions? may be interested.......

That is the most gorgeous e28 I've ever seen, excellent job in maintaining its prowess. Great luck on the sale.

ridiculously gorgeous car :eyecrazy

GL, amazing car

That is the most beautiful e28 I've ever seen. GL with the sale. I wish I could afford it...

That car is gorgeous! Love the interior! Good luck with the sale! Others take note, this is how to make a for sale ad!

I love your car, R U in the market for E36 M by any chance?????http://fla.fg-a.com/0ht9acn.gif

No, I really need the cash for a business start-up. Thanks

Good seller.

honestly, everything seems good up until the ac issues. Perhaps get that sorted out, then an even 12000 may be good.

On the other hand, your car is the baddest m535 ive seen in the US, so the price is worth whatever you say from that perspective

That is so beautiful!!

Great car in awesome condition! if I only had the $$$

Howdy - My buddy Anita mentioned she knew your car at Vintage in the Vineyard today.

I was wondering about the exhaust leak [Exhaust leak at the connection of the one manifold to down pipe (Stud broke off when I did my clutch)]. Could you detail that a little more and what needs to be done to fix it?

5ers dont do anything for me... But this is so damn clean. Absolutely gorgeous, GL with the sale. If THIS 5er was in my dollar range, and side of the country, Id be glad to buy that. Nice ride..

wow, beautiful 5. Will the head unit/speakers system be functional @ sale?

Nice looking car. To bad CA wants cats n stuff. . . oh, and that I cant afford it either. ;) Still sweet.

Is this car sold yet?

No, not sold yet.

El bumperino!

i've always obsessed over this car. It is easily the most beautiful e28 i've ever seen. Good Luck on the sale...Only if this was a year from now that'd be in my garage

Sold yet? Have you done anything to sort out the A/C issues?

Tom

Gorgeous. G/L with the sale and congrats to the eventual buyer

I remember PM'ing you about this car a couple years ago wanting to buy it. I believe you responded with something along the lines of "not a chance in hell" :stickoutt

Regardless, you've got an amazing e28 and im sure whoever purchases this wont be even the slightest bit disappointed. Best of luck! :wave

Classic... everytime i see my old mans 535is sitting in the driveway i always wonder what it would be like for it to be in prestine condition....

Goodluck with the sale!

Sold yet? Have you done anything to sort out the A/C issues?

Tom

Not sold yet. I'm just sorting out a few things to make the car more complete. Yes, the A/C will be operating before someone buys. I also just replaced the oil pan gasket and if you know anything about an m30, you know what a job that is. No more oil leaks under car. I am also polishing the T-stars and putting new rubber on the rear tires. I will have new pictures up next week.

Jon

Some new pictures with the polished throwing stars

Also, will be adding e34 big brakes 302mm front and 300mm rear before sale
Just did oil pan gasket and if you know about an m30 oil pan then you know how much of a job this is worth.
Brand new Conti sport 245/40 series tires on rear wheels.

Sexiest BMW I have ever seen. Going to beg the wife now, will surely get the usual no :(

that engine bay is clean!! :wow

I should buy this but I'm broke bump.

What an absolutely incredible car! I'd love to buy it but I have one too many cars right now. Good luck!:clap

Damn that car is nice!!!!!!
Any documentation from the previous owner(s)?

have seen the car in person. it is even more stunning than these photos show.

:drool:

Wow, i'm very impressed. I would steal this in a second if you weren't in.....richmond...That's alot of driving...

No previous records on the car, but why would you need them? It is practically new.

I'll pay for your one way ticket here and that will make it only a 7-8 hr drive.:D



Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I really don't want to sell, but I must, need the $$$. One thing about this car, is that if you like to be one of a kind, this will do it for you. There maybe 30-40 of these cars in the country and I would bet none with this color combo.

Do you have any more interior pictures? specifically of the front seats and door panels..etc?

I'll post some for you.

Incredible car. Good luck. Some lucky dude will get his hands on it.

One of the sickest E28 5ers EVER!!!! This car is the epidomy of a tastefully modded BMW. Good luck with the sale.:)

Abe

How much for the 535

This car would be mine if I didn't already have something similar. I like this one better, actually, for a few key reasons. And there's not a better seller anywhere, as an added bonus.

Absolutely gorgeous, isn't it? Anyone want to buy an M Coupe? (KIDDING---er, 1/2 kidding!)

Somebody buy this car so I can stop thinking about it. I have 5 cars already and don't need another one.:shifty

Any updates?...bump

Thanks Cory! I'm glad to see that you kept your M5 also.



Any updates?...bump


Car is still available. Give me a call, lets talk.

are those wheels stock?

I'm really suprised this hasn't sold yet, I guess most people don't realize how sweet this car really is.

are those wheels stock?
nope, but ahhhh!!!!!! the best car ive ever seen in my life, if i had the monies i would buy it in a heartbeat! ive always wanted a m535i, but yes, no one apreciates these enough, no car people will touch it, only bimmer people

daaamn that car is just stunning ... Just picked me up an e34 540/6 calypso from another forum member, but wow your car definitely does make me almost regret my decision :/ Price is just a tad bit over my limit though so maybe that's a good thing ;)

my god that car is beautiful! That has got to be one of the most badass bmw's ive ever seen. i wish i could afford it!

are those wheels stock?


No, the stock wheels for this car were metric sized wheels with TRX tires. The wheels on the car now are stock from an e34 M5. I think they really set the car off.

I am not advertising the car locally as I would like to have it go to a true enthusiast that will take good care of her. If you've never driven a really nice e28, you don't know what you're missing. This car is super fun to drive and the m30 puts down plenty of power. Just ask Alpina why they put an m30 into an e30 M3. Plus, you can haul 4 people comfortably.

Haaaave mercy
gorgeous car

Giving this a Friday bump:jump still trying to convince the wife why I need this car.

nice car, im not worthy =[

Car is Sold!!!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and interest. It will be heading to the Raleigh area.

Sniff, sniff.:(:(

Are there any issues with the a/c ?as i would be driving to florida after pick -up.... its either yours .the red m5 ...listed on the forum or a 190 16valver mbz currently on ebay ......
