I've decided to pursue my desire to build an LS1 RX7 which means I first need to sell my 1987 535is TCD S2. I've owned the car since May 1998, and I'm the 3rd owner.

Here is a run down of the particulars:
Drivetrain:
- Engine replaced when the TCD system was installed. The engine had 140,000+- miles and was purchased from Jay in Norfolk. I replaced the oil pump and thermostat prior to installation with new BMW pieces for insurance. The chassis has 272,000 miles, but is in good condition.

- TCD S2 turbo system with a TO4E turbo, prototye TCD liquid to air intercooler, ceramic coated exhaust manifold & downpipe, rising rate fuel pressure regulator, full 3" exhaust. Currently running 8lbs of boost but I also have a 13lb boost spring.

- Spec 3 clutch and M5 flywheel installed with the turbo.

Suspension:
- Short springs - not sure of the brand, but high than stock spring rate.
- Bilstein Sport shocks - new in 2004.
- Racing Dynamics adjustable sway bars front & rear
- Upper stress bars front & rear
- Paul LaDue poly control arm bushings and new upper & lower control arms in front.
- Poly rear subframe bushings
- Style 32 17" staggered wheels (8" front, 9" rear) with Falken Azinia RE 212 tires with less than 3,000 miles on them.
- 1 extra 8" x 17" style 32 wheel.

Brakes:
- Braided steel brake lines
- performance carbon brake pads
- Brembo slotted and drilled stock size rotors.

The car is a weekend car for me. It is zinerberot/pearl beige. The driver's seat needs to be replaced, but I switched it to the passenger side. I need some brackets and screws to re-attach the dash cover below the steering column. The front bumper trim broke and needs to be replaced. The paint is in great condition, but has the door dings and a few bumps from the past 21 years. I had the paint laser checked for depth and it has definitely not had any paint work done, as the paint on all of the panels are at 3.5+-.2 mils deep.

Here are a few pictures:

I am looking to get $9,000 or more for the car. It is in good condition and has about every performance upgrade on it that I could think of. I'm in the Northern VA/Washington, D.C. area if anybody local wants to drive it. It's a blast to drive if you're into performance and would make a great weekend car. I autocrossed it once after installing the turbo and it was 3 seconds off FTD with street tires. Also, I've only driven it a few thousand miles since the install.

PM me if you are interested or need more pics/info. Thanks!
