1988 Bmw 535is (e28) Black - Manual 5 Spd - Sedan 4-door 3.5l - No Reserve on 2040-cars
|
For sale is a 1988 BMW 535is, that I have owned since 2004. It is a blast to drive and has that old rough and tumble BMW feel.
Are you looking for a fun project? Want to own a classic, that is fun to drive and work on? This is the car for you! The interior looks great, but the exterior needs TLC (paint and dents / dings). My priorities have changed, so I don't have time to finish up the exterior work. Tires in great shape, Interior looks great, Car needs exterior TLC. No accidents, clean title & carfax. New battery, most all little stuff works except detailed below. Upgrades performed to the car: - Conforti p chip - Mustang fuel injectors - Bilstein HD struts and shocks - UUC clutch stop - New style BMW rims- Replaced the carpet. - Carpet mats - Wood stick shift - Upgraded stereo and speakers - Key-less entry system - Upgraded vacuum hoses to silicon - Front and Rear Seats replaced and in crack free condition. Issues: - Needs a paint job and ding / dent repair (interior great, but exterior needs TLC) - Original owner had this red car painted black. - Typical 535 (e28) rear bumper crack - Driver side door cannot be unlocked with a key (installed remote keyless system to get around) - A/C leaks so I disabled it by removing the AC compressor belt - light in drive computer has gone out - Odometer gear broke and was repaired in 2007, so the car lost mileage between 2003 - 2007. I suspect it was about 25K since the car was never a daily driver. Speedo needle has a slight kink in it that happened during the change. - I bought the car with the dash cover installed, but I suspect the dash below is cracked. - Car runs fast and has new battery, but has mostly sat idle since 2007. - 535is trunk fin was cracking badly so I replaced it with a 535i trunk lid (without the fin) - 535is front seats were cracked, so I replaced them with 535i seats Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. If additional photos are needed or would like to stop by during the 7 day auction time, please email me. |

Bangle urges auto design shakeup, says industry not innovating
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Controversial designer Chris Bangle, the man behind the notorious E65 BMW 7-Series "Bangle Butt," has some rather sharp criticism for the current crop of automotive designers in an upcoming full-length interview with Automotive News Europe. The preview, posted on Automotive News, details parts of the interview, with the always vocal Bangle lamenting the state of modern automotive design.
"Even concept cars today simply anticipate the next production model coming down the line. Is this innovation? No. And at the end of the day this is what's preventing car design from moving into a new era." Controversial as Bangle's design philosophy may be, we can't help but think he has a point. His so-called "flame surfacing" at BMW and other stylistic elements had a huge influence on modern automotive design, although as the years have passed, there hasn't been much innovation on the same scale.
Interestingly, Bangle also mentions that he's been courted by a few manufacturers that wanted to install the American as the head of their design teams. He's flatly rejected them, telling ANE, "It's not something you can do part time, you have to do it with all your heart and soul or you're going to get it wrong."
BMW M4 sheds some camouflage for latest test run
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Last time we saw the upcoming BMW M4 out testing, it was heavily clad with camouflage and decidedly homely looking (as most early development mules are). But in this latest set of photos, the M3 coupe successor has started to come into its own skin, and we're seeing a shape more closely akin to that of a rendering we brought you a few months back.
Unsurprisingly, the M4 coupe looks very similar to the 4 Series Concept that BMW debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year. And while non-M version of the 4er will likely look a bit more sedate, these spy shots clearly show an aggressive front fascia, large wheels and the usual quad-exhaust rounding out the rear end.
Naturally, the M3 sedan will launch before this M4 coupe (and convertible), and powertrain details are still unclear as of this writing. We understand that the current M3's naturally aspirated V8 will be axed in favor of some sort of turbocharged six-cylinder engine, and we've heard plenty of rumors as to what, exactly, it might be, but we have yet to hear any official confirmation.
BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe and Concept 90 pics from Villa d'Este
Thu, 30 May 2013Royalty and the ultra-wealthy rubbed damp shoulders at this past weekend's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the shores of Italy's Lake Como, but even the rain couldn't extinguish the excitement generated by the millions of dollars of cars and bikes on display. Nowhere was this more true than with BMW, which marked the occasion with the reveal of two stunning concepts with six wheels between them - the shark-nosed Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe and the retrosexual Concept 90 motorcycle.
Conceived with Italian design house Pininfarina, the Gran Lusso Coupe is a power broker on 21-inch wheels. While we're not completely sold on every element of its design, this twelve-cylinder two-door concept moves us more than the current 6 Series, and not just because it has four more cylinders underhood and 48,000-year-old kauri wood paneling inside. BMW is sadly mum on production hopes, but we're not entirely optimistic - the company has graced us with a number of attractive concepts at Villa d'Este before, only to pack them away again without ever affording them a production future.
If one of these concepts has a better shot at finding its way into dealers, we have to believe it's the Concept 90 under the BMW Motorrad umbrella. Designed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of BMW's R 90 S, we think this Roland Sands Design air-cooled boxer would look fantastic on today's streets, especially with the rising popularity of vintage motorcycles and cafe racers.
