Yep, the VIN says it's a 535iS. However, not much is known about the e34 535iS so for most folks this is just a 535i 5 speed. Black on black. Title is clean and clear.

I'm asking $4k. VIN is WBAHD1316NBF12911. Lots of upgrades and newness. Read on.

any interest in a trade for my truck?

So can someone inform me what the diffrence between a 535i and a 535is. Is it the same as say a e36 i and is model?

Truly, I really don't know what makes mine special apart from the VIN telling me it's an iS. Wikipedia has a very quick blurb--iS has the limited slip 3.91 and different trim.

I can conclusively say that mine is incredibly sexy, perhaps sexier than all other 535i or 535iS... until I'm driving someone else's 535i.

No thanks, Hombre!

PM received for a bump

Forgot to add--put in new transmission mounts with the clutch and tranny seals. Engine mounts have been done as well (40k miles old).

Willing to trade/partial trade for something as cool or cooler than a 1992 535iS, something 2-door preferred. Currently seeking out a mid- to high-mileage 2.8 Z3, 1997-1999 ('old' body style).

Interested in a trade for a 1985 Jaguar XJS V12? shoot me an e-mail to JBurdon1270@yahoo.com

Any interest in just taking 3600 in cash and buying whatever you want with it?

Cash is always a fine option, it comes with less deferred maintenance than a trade :)

$3600 is a good offer, thanks! We'll see what this weekend brings. I have two local folks who are pondering counteroffers and one coming in from out of town who I promised I'd hold it for him until he could take a look. I recommend coming to town but I know it's a long haul from Colorado. I'll PM you this weekend if it doesn't sell for closer to my asking.

'85, good year for the XJS. Is it the 5.3 HE with the P-Jet? I've worked on exactly one of those to replace the fuel rail hoses (common, from what I found). Throw me some pictures. I'll email you.

Edit for a bump. Updated original post. Recovered headliner, rear shelf. Fixed driver's seat twist. Fixed door gaskets. Relocated sunroof switch. Replaced tow hook covers, rear emblem, and toolbox screw. Cosmetic fixes continue...

Pictures are now out of date (they don't show latest fixes). I'll post new pictures this weekend (April 18).

Nope! Don't want a timing belt... I might consider a 200k+ mi e39 or e38 with a few needs for a trade.
