So was i dreaming about the turbo, the 535 on the trunk, the registration from the original owner saying $80,000 new, 2 master tec. BMW mechanics fighting over getting the parts and thier confirmation of the car, everything in the car German not English, post and prove me wrong, did you see grey market car, shipped over here, shipping was in the reciets.

They never made a factory 535i turbo. The did make a factory 745i turbo. Still a 3.5, but the turbo gave it the power of a 4.5, or so BMW said, thus 745.
Every e23 7 I've seen has had German check panels, etc. Yes, if a 745, it would have been grey market, but that is besides the point because they never made a turbo 535 e28 in the '80s and your saying it was. Unless it was an Alpina or something, in which case you need to go shoot yourself. But keep reading, cause it's not.
Also, that is a e23 because the dash is not an e28 dash and the front side marker is not an e28 part. E23s had that.
In short, this is a e23 7, this is NOT a 535i. I don't give a shit what the trunk deck says. It's a 7.
Also, nice job running 150 on TRX wheels and tires! They haven't really mass produced those for like 20 years! Yours were probably dry rotted to hell!
One more thing, if it was a grey market import, it wouldn't have had a cat. That's a N. America market thing.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

Let's clarify a few things:
1) What was the point of posting this? Sympathy? Lesson learned? Leather interior bits for sale?
2) That is a E23 745i. Post the VIN and I'll give you proof.
3) How fast were you going??
Thanks.Mike
