Without further ado, here's my new E28...
As you can see (if you've scrolled down already!), it's an M535i. 1985, mid-year production, RHD (of course, since I'm in Oz), 5-spd, it's also a UK-spec high comp - which is the best part! (DC72).
Options list:
S300A Emergency spare wheel
S314A Door mirror / driver's lock, heated
S350A Therm. insulat. glass green
S403A Glass roof, electrical (Yup! Factory electric moonroof!)
S411A Window lifts,electric,front/rear
S500A Headlight wipe/wash/Intensive cleaning (Wipers aren't installed, not sure if it works)
S551A On-board computer II with remote control
L812A NATIONAL VERSION GREAT BRITAIN
S860A Additional turn indicator lamp
S850A Additional Export tank filling
She needs some work. The clearcoat on the roof and boot is pretty much toast, besides that the paint is not bad, but it's received some battle damage over the years. The rear half of the exhaust is some custom POS which is a bit loud for my taste. There's a pretty awful aftermarket oil pressure gauge that needs to go. There's a couple of real small minor rust spots. Bit of an oil leak at the rear of the engine, but not super serious, coolant looks pretty feral. It could do without the "535i" on the boot lid, too.

On the up side, all the electrics work, mechanically besides a very slight vibration (likely wheel balance) mechanically it's in really good order, front end is pretty new, feels like it could use some new dogbones, head has been reconditioned, pulls like a freight train, it sure feels like a high comp should. The wheels are E39 M5 knockoffs, which aren't really my taste (I'm thinking 17" style 5s).
It was originally spec'd with anthracite cloth, which has been reupholstered to black leather (which is almost mint), although I'm inclined to return it to factory.
Already on the BMW M Registry (twice, in fact), I've tried to reach out to the prior owners to find out some history, but without luck so far.
It's now on club registration, to live out it's days in a warm garage (which it now shares....).
Not many at the moment, but here are the pics!
I got to take my first real drive in her on Tuesday, down the Mornington Peninsula to have her inspected for BMW CCV club registration, I have to say, I rather enjoyed that drive.



Cheers!
