Description

A fantastic opportunity to own a true 1980s performance saloon, this BMW M535i has clearly been cherished and well maintained, and now presents very well following significant recent expenditure to bring it fully road worthy. Originally supplied new by Barons of Farnborough in April 1987, this example is finished in the iconic ZinnoBerrot Red with a black leather interior. It sits on 16-inch BMW X-Lace alloy wheels and features the desirable colour-coded M-Technic body kit, giving it the classic and purposeful E28 stance. Powered by the 3.5-litre M30 straight-six engine producing around 218 bhp, paired with a 4-speed automatic gearbox offering Sport, Economy and manual modes, the car delivers smooth performance with plenty of torque and the unmistakable character of a period BMW straight-six. It drives well and has previously completed long-distance journeys without issue. The history file is extensive and includes the original owner’s pack, service book with 18 service stamps plus additional body inspection stamps, and a large collection of invoices. Previous maintenance has clearly been carried out regardless of cost, with substantial work undertaken including suspension refurbishment, brake system overhaul, exhaust replacement, fuel system work and general servicing. In more recent ownership, the car has been kept in dry storage and the current owner has invested thousands to ensure it is fully serviced, mechanically sorted and supplied with a fresh MOT. This puts the car in a strong position compared to many examples currently on the market. The vehicle has covered approximately 151,000 miles. It remains a highly usable classic with strong presence and growing appeal, particularly in this colour combination. This car is being offered on a sold as seen basis. Viewing is strongly recommended and walkaround videos are available on request. A well-presented and increasingly sought-after example of the E28 M535i, combining solid history, recent investment and classic BMW styling.
