    FS: 1988 535is Lachs/Black, 5sp man.,

    Well, I have decided to let the 5er go, it's just not practical for me for a daily and distance driver. I am going to get into a late model 3 series whenever I find the right one. In the meantime I'm selling this one. I haven't had this one for very long, but it's just not the right car for my application. Overall the car runs great, and it's pretty much like I bought it. I haven't added anything but an Alpine CD/MP3 player (which I will be removing and replacing with a JVC CD player), and the euro plates will stay with me as well. Everything else goes. There are many extras which will come with the car, extra OEM BMW glass roof, stock solid body color roof, A/C components (that's right, the components, evaporator, condensor, fan, etc...all removed per previous owner and I never got around to reinstalling), euro console, and a host of other extra little parts, oil filters, etc.

    As of late, I have developed an issue with blowing the #9 fuse which runs the instrument panel lights, right side tail light, license plate lights and right side marker lights. I tried to run the short down to no avail, but I'm not very electrically savvy, so someone with more knowledge will certainly have more success at such a thing.

    Otherwise, everything is good.

    1988 535is w/approximately 220K miles
    Lachsilber over black leather
    5sp manual
    Moonroof (glass roof for those unaware)
    Miller MAF conversion
    17x8" FORGED M-system wheels (and a 5th matching FORGED spare)
    Eibach pro-kit springs
    Bilstein sport shocks(I *think*)
    Euro headlamp conversion
    SSK (not sure which one)

    I can provide more info if needed, and there are a bunch of records from the previous owners that I haven't even looked through yet.

    Some pics right after I bought it, it pretty much looks the same now.

    PRICE: $6500

                  This car is so incredibly awesome looking, I still cant get over it.

                    My e30 kept blowing a similar fuse. Turns out it was the reverse switch.

                    Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
                    Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.

                    Beams of darkness streak across the sky
                    Pink rays from the ancient satellite
                    Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
                    Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

                        good god almighty! That thing is beautiful!

                        I always wanted me an E28. It has more room than the E30. I gave up trying to be fast a long time ago.

                        If only I could get rid of my E90 335 quickly enough and the E30. Id grab this thing in a heartbeat.

                            Beautiful car. Used to hate E28s but as I grew older I started to appreciate their classic look.
