My 1st non e30 bmw

[E30nate]

picked this up today from a guy on bimmerforums. its a 93 535/5 speed. its on eibachs and billy sports and painted style 5s and has a dinan chip. it has a book of service records going back to 2001.

Nice find... Any plans or leaving it as is?

I think it would make a big difference having the rondel on the centercaps. But that looks very clean.

[E30nate]

Yeah I'm gonna order some roundels for the caps asap. It needs a few little thing that I'm gonna fix, other than that I'm happy with it how it is. I might try to find some sport seats for it eventually too, but they would have to be the right price

i saw a 5 series just like this today in vallejo with those weird dashes on the windshield trim just liek this..... is that normal and why is it like that?

[E30nate]

those are actually the clips that hold the window trim on. the PO broke the trim trying to take it off to repaint it

I saw this car on SD Craigslist (right?) and was drooling over it. Nice score.

[E30nate]

yeah he had it on there for a while. i definately thought it was a good deal lol

If I hadn't already found mine, I'd have snatched that one in a second.

I liked my e34 535i but it was an auto. Would have kept it longer if it was a manual. Nice find.

sweet find man! my neighbor has a 89 535i with a straight cut exhaust which is obnoxiously loud. i'm not sure which is faster though...i think my 325is would take his 5 in the corners, but his m30 feels more powerful. which do you think is faster?

[E30nate]

in the corners im almost positive an e30 would be faster just because of the weight and agility, but this car definately picks up faster than any e30 ive had.

[freeride53]

That's a good looking E34.
I think that I'll own one too, down the line.

used to have a 525 auto e34. loved that car. an amazing DD except for being an auto. i couldnt tear it up to do a manual swap. it was too clean

last year of the 535, great car, how many miles, price, etc?
