1987 BMW 535is Turbo (Charlotte)

Did you really think I am just going to post once a month from now on? Wrong!

So here is she again. I wanted to buy this car last year and it managed to slip under my fingers because I was stuck with my E23 and cash tied up in it. But just like folks says - things happen for a reason. I wouldn't have been able to buy my E39 M5, if I purchased that last fall.

The person that build the car is a mye28.com resident. Below is his build thread.

And then the owner after that:

Turbaaahhhhhhh psh. Yeah magic words. And it was cheap for $2800 with euro goodies and Megasquirt, and a Snail.

Well fast forward a year down the road. The price is at $6k from the new owner. Maybe he has some black magic added to it, but I fail to see why is it twice as expensive. Those chromed out Style 37 don't cut the price increase. Maybe that's why he didn't post it on mye28 for sale forum. Anyways here is the car.

All I can say, I wish I could buy it. Maybe next time. The two links above will give you plenty of research material and buying power.







1987 BMW 535is. Has Turbonetics T4 turbo with a custom 3 inch exhaust. 5 speed with short shifter. Less than 9,000 miles on engine and turbo setup. Megasquirt ECU with USB connection. Interior is 8.5/10. Exterior is nor bad but could use some work. European bumpers and lights. I also have tons of documentation and receipts including the original window sticker. Very fast. I don't driven it enough to keep it and I need extra cash to fuel my motorcycle addiction. Make me an offer. Cash only. No trades.
