Thought this was good info for a potential buyer. A member on mye28.com posted this information on the cars value:

IMO, Seeya's initial price of $3000 is about $1K low. According to the 2008 Collector Car Price Guide, a very good original example of the '84 533i should be valued at ~ $8500. One that needs some work which would be classified as fine, but is otherwise servicable should be valued at ~ $4000. Considering the 533i was a very low production E28 compared to the later 535i, they are becoming rare. Extremely well kept examples with relatively low mileage are very rare.

Just my $.02

here are some more comments from other sites:

"Overall the 533i is a collector car in my opinion - but can certainly be used as a daily-driver. Only 10,000 533i's were produced from 1983-1984. Bear in mind, the 528e (`82-`88), which looks identical from 50 feet away, was produced in huge numbers (over 100,000) - so comparing this to a 533i, you can see why the 533i is indeed, an endangered species."

"I have owned a 1984 533i since 1997. It has been my one and only daily driver. It had 113K miles. when I bought it - and now has 185K miles. Basically, the car has been re-built. Although very expensive to rebuild it throughout the years, it truly is a very rewarding automobile. The 533i, in my opinion, is extremely rare today - almost more so than a E28 M5. If you can find a nice one, buy it.

The chassis (E28) is very solid, and the motor is the kind that made the company famous - In-line-6, M30, SOHC, 181HP, 195lb. ft. torque. Curb Weight: 3,200 lbs. est. 0-60: man. 7.7, auto. 9.4 sec. The E28 5-series (`82-`88) has an enormous trunk (same size as 750iL). Top Speed: 129-134mph."

"533i: A North-American only model sold from 1983-1984 in limited quantities in response to customer complaints that the 528e had lower performance figures than the 1981 528i that it replaced. Equipped with a 181hp 3.2L M30 6-cylinder engine as fitted to the larger 633csi and 733i. It produced 195 lb-ft. torque. The compression ratio was 8.8:1. Top Speed was 134 mph. (man.). The 533i was the fastest sedan sold in the USA in 1983. "
