The E28 535is is an excellent choice if you’re looking into highly enjoyable 80s German sedans. Great suspension, a bulletproof inline 6 plus M5-look trim makes a very attractive package with significant economic savings over an M5. Today’s is perfectly 80s in gold on cardinal and has traveled just 107k miles. It’s barely a third of its way through the first engine!
1987 BMW 535is for sale on eBay
Very clean 535is with only 107,000 miles. This car is in perfect condition possible. Car drives and shifts very strong. Less than three months ago: front and rear brake pad and rotors, tune up (new spark plug and valve cover gasket, new air filter and oil change, new oil filter) all new belts. The only after market part on this car is a CD player and Bilstein front and rear shocks. A/C and heat works perfect. Car has zero rust and is original paint. Clean dash, sunroof works. This car has clean Carfax, never been in an accident. Is only two owner car (I will send a Carfax to only serious buyers). Car is as is.
It is very clean, with typical weaknesses like the dashboard still looking fantastic. I can’t stand ads written like this, but so it goes. Contact the seller to really get the necessary info. No Buy-It-Now but 11 bid have pushed it just over $3k with 4 days to go. $5k would be a fair deal for how many fun miles this 80s saloon has left in it.

Love the more balanced and unique colour combination,and lack of blacked out trim that you would see on an M5. This is a car that you could spend more time enjoying and not worrying about its value.
As of 11:45 pm est the price is already up to $5k. This would be an ideal family sedan for me. Maybe someday.
These cars are great drivers and pretty reliable. This one looks to be in average or slightly better condition. I would want to get a look at the service history to make sure the usual failure spots have been addressed.
I know that most of the cars have had the TRX wheel/tire combo removed, but this one looks pretty strange with the spoilers and the 14″ 528e wheels. A 15″ or 16″ option would look and handle much better.
Bidding is already over $5K which is the point where I would get out. It’s still listed as “Reserve Not Met” so I have to wonder where the seller’s mind is. Apparently some place different than mine.
“I will send a Carfax to only serious buyers.” Does the seller think he’s withholding something really valuable? Why should I convince you I’m worthy of sharing the CarFax report with if he is trying to sell me something? Do you think I’m going to consider buying the car without seeing it? Or, maybe there’s something in that CarFax report that needs to be “explained”? Perhaps only serious buyers would still consider buying it after hearing the explanation? Makes me wonder…
Larry, I wondered that too. Does he know that anyone can buy a Carfax report if they have the VIN? And that he conveniently listed the VIN in his for sale ad?
The seller is a dealer (look at the comments in the feedback section) and I’ll bet he knows very little about the history of this particular car. I would highly recommend that anyone interested in buying this car go look at it in person.
