"e28" M535i locations and information

[Enchanter]

My old car is back in my hands... The ownership chain is like this:
Vin is 0641988
Diamond Black with Pearl Beige
Owner 1 was Clark Cook former BMWCCA president in the carolinas I believe
Owner 2 Russel Dejulio(sp) also down in the Carolinas
Owner 3 was Dr Bob Grill (I was his service advisor on car when serviced at JMK BMW, NJ)
Owner 4 was me for a while. In NJ.
Owner 5 was Grahamular in MD (thanks for the new trans buddy!)
Owner 6 was Me again, then coowned with Mike K and now owned by me in NJ and shared with Mike when he wants to drive it.


Refitted back to the original TRX M-Tech wheels with new tires.

Car is now 100% back to stock as it left BMW with the exception of BMW upgrades. I have even fitted the car back with all the original shifter linkages, etc to eliminate short shifter. All filters, wires, cap, rotor, etc are all from BMW. I am sure there is some better stuff out there, but car is going on 30 years old next year. If it survived this long using BMW parts, they are doing something right.. The only upgrades are:

Diff from Kat car 3.25 big case (thanks Chris graff) in place of 3.07 big case
Rear E34 M5 brakes.
Shadlowline Trim (Completly new as ordered by me when it was all available. Installed about 10 years ago or so)
Fully functional headlamp wash/wipe system



Car resides in Monmouth County, NJ.

I lusted after this car. How about an updated photo with the TRXes?

Congrats Tim, I've not seen the car but it sounds sweet. I for one appreciate the dedication to factory stuff on these cars. It's nice hear hear you're so fastidious about it.

[wkohler]

I always enjoyed looking at that car in photos. Would love to see some current photos of it, though I guess it might be a lot like looking at the brochure. Haha!

I just realized looking back through this thread that I never added my '87.

You are 100% correct. As a matter of fact, right down to the pinstripe. There is a page on the inside of the brochure that shows the optional "Shadowline" trim. That's it!

I will get some nice pictures going when the weather gets better. I look forward to the comments from you guys!

If you guys have any questions please let me know.

Thanks...

I'm confused. You had this on ebay in April and then a couple of times in May and the car is a flat Laguna Seca Blue. Now, you've posted the same car (same VIN and nearly identical ad) yet the car is the original Arctic Blue.

Was the Laguna Seca Blue a wrap and you took it off? In the original ad, you say "The original paint (Arktisblau-metallic) had been faded by the southern sun and the clear was mostly gone" but in the new ad you say "The exterior looks great as you can see from the photos." Photos are a little dark to be able to discern what the real deal is. What's the exterior's condition?

April Ebay Listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-BMW-M5-/16 ... 7675.l2557
Current Ebay Listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-5-Series-DC ... 1803628654

I'm very interested in the car. Thanks!

[wkohler]

Looks like he had it repainted since everywhere the car was posted, it got destroyed for the paint.

[carlb]

Looks like he had it repainted since everywhere the car was posted, it got destroyed for the paint.

Then you would think he'd say BRAND NEW PAINT JOB in the original... I would. So, I assumed it was wrapped and it was back to original....

[wkohler]

He said it wasn't a great quality paint job in the original listing. He didn't say it wasn't a great quality vinyl wrap. I'm sure it's got a cheap Arktisblau paint job on it now and it really wouldn't be smart to mention that in the ad since that turns a lot of people off. That's a question you answer later.

[Drew in NYC]

To the seller's credit, the car looks about a thousand times better now.

(Granted, that isn't say much given it looked like an absolute turd previously.)

[wkohler]

It absolutely does. It's what he should have done to begin with. I just wish he posted some better photos.

A trip but a fun one! I wonder if our M535i's overlapped their time in Maine. I wonder if mine is the only one in ME now?

Possibly, it was in S. Portland until 1992 before it came west.

I guess its about time to post mine. 84k miles. Returned the suspension to MTech and added 16" RS006 wheels.
