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.
