Comments from the seller

This is a rare 535is in exceptional mechanical condition and now needing an enthusiasts attention to the paint and interior I am the second owner having bought it from a friend's father in 2002. I love this car but can't give it the attention it needs. This has been well used but always with big money spent on keeping it running sweetly and with original parts by a marque specialist. Engine is strong and drives beautifully. Recent mechanical work includes: Rear 'is' specific shocks and mounts water pump, new fan clutch and coolant thermostat New Pirelli Cinturato P7 tyres less than 2,500kms All new belts Folders of invoices for last 25 years. Have the original purchase receipt from 1989 Comes with the original metric wheels and tyres as well as 1990's Rola roof racks cut to fit. Currently on club plates. MORE FEATURES: - Full body kit - Climate control air conditioning - Alloy wheels - Sunroof - Power steering - Power door mirrors - Central locking - Limited slip diff (LSD)
