1986 BMW e28 535i Project Car --Price drop--

I have a 1986 BMW e28 535i project car up for sale. **$600**

It is Bronzit with a beige interior. It is also a California car that has never been wrecked. It still has the original paint. The body of the vehicle is rust free except for the battery tray, which is pictured below.

I bought this care as a project car in about 2013 in Sacramento, California after a one-year search. Up to this point, the car had spent its entire life in Northern California. It ran when I bought it needing a new muffler and windshield at the time. It is in very original condition.

At this point, it needs the kidney grille and trunk lock. I accidentally “sold” the grille earlier in the year with some euro headlights. It needs a new trunk lock because I had to break it in order to get into the trunk.

The engine is intact but is not getting spark. It could be some bad sensors or fuse box and does not run. The car has a five-speed manual transmission. It has close to 240,000 California miles on it.

I am in Central California, midway between Southern and Northern California.

Original E28s are becoming increasingly rare.

That's quite straight for a "project" car -- good luck!

I'll second that interest. It's gonna cost yet another $600- $1K to get it to Seattle though for Spen to figure out what's up with it... I'll keep watching. My first BMW was same color scheme '83 533i in the mid-90's. It was a perfect car I just had to have an is. so I ran them both for awhile it was fun having to nice E28s in the driveway :)

Great seller - he is a fair person....I have seen the car 'in person' well worth the asking price.

Not that great. He’s not responding to any emails or PM’s. Tell him that. If it sold it be nice to know.

If it’s available I’ll take it. I can come get it whenever.

I have spoken with the OP. He is very busy with life things right now. He wants to see the car go to someone that can invest in it as he has too much going on to continue. He'll be back with an update soon I'm sure.
