The 535ie28 is considered by many asthe original super sedan built by BMW, known for outstanding performance balanced by timeless styling and luxury. This car is finished in a strikingBronzit Beige Metallicwith an immaculatematching interior.

Mechanically this car is in good condition. The paint isin good condition and shines nicely the roof could use a bit of a buff in a spot or two.There are a few not overly noticeable dings and nicks which could be describedas normalfor a 30 year old vehicle. The car is very rust free on the body and underbody. The leather seats are in good condition with no ripped seams or tears with the leather being recently reconditioned. The knobs//switchesmove freely and easily. There is a verysmall and not very noticeable crackon the dashboard. The heater and AC work as you would expect in this vehicle.The car rides on almost new Continental Tires with BMW RX Wheels helping to give this car a unique and very appealing stance. It is showing a little over 135,000 miles on the odometer, however just as in many older BMW's the odometer no longer works. I would estimate that the mileage is close to accurate as the car has not been driven much at all over the past 1.5 years and I have service records acknowledging mileage.The original radio and speakers could use a freshening up. Though the brakes were done a few years backI find them a bit on the mushy side. This535idrives straight with no pull to the left or right. Accelerates off the line with no hesitation and has no problems cruising at highway speeds. If you have been shopping for an e28 you know how rare affordable,running, non-rusty models are to locate. This 535i is priced to sell. Please note that the deposit on this car is non-refundable and full payment must be delivered prior to delivery of vehicle. I will not pay for shipping.If you have any questions please ask and I'll do my best to answer. This sale is for a used car and there is no implied warranty or guarantee car is sold as is.
