1990 BMW 535i: Old School Cool, Blue on Blue
#1
1990 535i CirrusBlau/Blau, originally auto trans, converted to manual. 305k miles.

I need a newer fun/project car with passenger airbag for my better half’s peace of mind. I bought it needing a head gasket and head freshening. It had not been overheated. I took care of that plus some tie rod ends (Lemforder), exhaust hangers, clutch slave cylinder, Gen III injectors, Behr fan clutch, belts, and I forget what else. It runs strong. I could still see cross-hatch marks in the cylinders when the head was off. Deutschland uber something!

The previous owner converted it from auto trans to manual using a E28 Getrag 265 and E24 single-mass flywheel (7 lbs lighter than E34 dual mass FW). He also installed a chip. Throttle response is great as is acceleration as it still has the 3.90 LSD rear. He installed a Z3 M short shifter.

He also installed Bilstein sports and H&R springs. I will soon have M5 sways on it.

I received it with the rear door panels off as the PO was in the middle of replacing the door lock actuators for those doors. I have not yet finished that work yet and no guarantee that I will :mrgreen:

It also has fresh Conti DSW’s on E38 style 5 rims seen in pics below. I would like to get $1700 for it. Open to offers including BMW, Volvo, and motorcycle trades. My contact info is stevebmwcca over at yahoo.

Hi Steve!

(For context's sake - Steve wanted to buy my E36, but someone else got to it first. He asked about posting his E34 on here and I said "go for it" given we have far too many MMers who can't say no to old project cars...)
Now:
'16 Ram 1500 | '97 BMW M3 | Some Press Loan

Then:

Hi, Jake! Fix your sig! :twisted: BTW, a friend just told me he is looking for a manual beater for a nephew who wants to learn to drive manual, up to $3k. A 3-series would be good.
