FA: '87 BMW 535is
 

No big sales pitch. If you're interested, it's on eBay until Sunday.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2471244764

You've heard all my stories about this car. Well, not *exactly* this
one, but it *looks* just like it ... except for the interior that's
black instead of red ... and only half the miles ... and ... =;^)

beauty of a car
hard to believe you let it go for $3k+ change

"If you don't tell her it'll easily top 130 in fourth gear, I won't elther "

and it will do 153 in fifth... at least my plain old 535i did....

The original poster having trouble apparently tried looking before the
auction (with a timed start) began. It's a cool feature if you think
timing matters, but I guess I jumped the gun mentioning it here.

Thank you. I wasn't being greedy. I just wanted my money back out of
it. The buyer got the same bargain I did. Wait'll you see the red
one ...

Thunder Valley out of Road America's Kink isn't long enough to get
above 6000 rpm in fourth. Canada Corner is a 112-foot-radius right at
the end. I haven't been anywhere I could safely and sanely (not
risking loss of my license) 'top out' a 535. The US sales lit for the
car says 134.

Got pics? If you weren't half way across the friggen country I'd have
scammed that baby up for the short change you got on it. She was a
beauty...

So come on... give us some pictoral gratification on the red one... It does
have the tan interior, right?

Yup. If only she were red.

Ooooh. Nice. I suppose the wheels you saved from the Delphin one are going
on the red one soon, eh? Those look like the ole TRX's on there now. I am
partial to the red exterior w/ tan inside. But that looks pretty nice just
the same. 5 speed I suppose, right?
