    FS: 1988 535is Alpine/Cardinal 5 speed

    Anyone interested in a partial trade for some e30 parts for my vert? I would be open to wheels/tires, headlights, 'is' spoiler, steering wheel and shocks/springs. A hardtop would also be considered. Let me know

    For Sale
    535is
    176,000 Miles
    Alpine White over Cardinal

    The Good:
    Pulls strong
    Paint is nice
    Brakes and tracks straight
    Decent amount of preventative maint while under my ownership
    No rust around fenders
    MSW wheels, 15x7 inch baskets, gold with with polished lips.
    New Tires
    Completely Rebuilt Shift Assembly: Everypart is new, shifts like it would have in 1988.


    The Bad:
    Radio was stolen, I don't listen to it so it never bothered me
    No AC, I don't use it so I've never looked into why
    Missing the trim piece that hangs between feet and steering column. Came loose during a trip causing it to interfere with my clutch work. Removed it and have since misplaced it.
    No foglights. Not sure what happened to them? Not there when I bought the car.
    Tear along seam of driver side seat, about 3 inch long maybe, not that awful.


    I love this car very much, and the color scheme of White on Red with gold weaves meant I had to have it. She has served me well over the past two years. I purchased the car from a gentleman that lives near by that owned an Alpina e21 (b2.8 maybe?), Alpina e12 (also b 2.8?, not sure but high compression motor, dog leg tranny, very nice) and two pristine 2002s. I like to think that under both his and my ownership that car has been lovingly maintained by enthusiasts.

    Reason for sale:
    I can't drive two cars at once, so paying insurance for one to sit doesn't make sense anymore. I want to sell both to get into a plastic bumpered e30 325i, but I will likely just keep the car that doesn't sell first. Considering how many replies I've received from my craigslist ad, it will likely be the e28 that goes first.

    Asking: $2600 OBO, and that really means or best offer, so feel free once I get photos up to send your best offer and if I feel it is too low at the time I will politely tell you so.

    Sorry these pictures suck, I'm horrible with a camera.\









    And a picture of the wheels, I don't believe theres any bad rash, but the lips would look much better with a repolish. The PO let a bit too much brakedust build up on them.



    And the rest of pics are here

    There are some shots of the interior. These pics don't do the car justice. My driveway needs to be cleaned now that its fall, but for whatever reason it makes it look like the car is in an f'ing junkyard.

    Thanks,
    James
    I want to get the ball moving on this car soon, so feel free to email any offers, or setup a time to take a look.
    Please contact me at jhaffel @ gmail.com. Please put 535is in the subject line.

          Ah crap, sorry guys, I had forgot to post the pics up here since I didn't bookmark this page. God I'm an idiot.

          Pics are edited into the first post. Someone come buy this, I'm going to have the selector rod replaced by my mech mid-week, so sat/sun would be good times for some test drives.

          I've had offers for an e30 325iS, but its an 87 and I'm looking for plastic bumpers. I've also had offer to trade for an 535i, but due to bad past experience with early e34s I'd rather have a m50 powered 5 speed e34. If my vert sells I'd be happy to do a trade + cash for a nice 95 Boston Green 525i (or Red or Calyspo) to replace one that a family friend crashed last yr.

                Chestnut Hill, more or less. One block from Stenton Ave and Willow Grove Ave, if you want to googlemap it.
                I'd be happy to show it to you if you want to just stop by. I'm still waiting for my mechanic to get some cars out of the shop before I can drop mine off to get the selector rod replaced. So right now its no good for test drives, but it would still be worth checking out.

                            Good looking vert. Somebody needs to jump on this soon. The price is better than right.

                              Having just written my mech a bill for $1052, I sure hope someone jumps on it soon, lol. :crazy:

                              I like to think of it as a very reasonable price. I know I would buy it at this price in a heartbeat, especially since I paid a lot more, and the car is much better off after my ownership.

                              I'm dying for someone to come buy my convertible.. I just need one gone and the e30 seems like it has more value, but its still November...
