Now thats a car I would buy if I had the space. How pretty is that???!

I've always loved the M535i. When I was at uni (about 5-6 years ago) there was one that I used to see every day on the car park, I loved it and even left a note on it's windscreen for the owner to get in touch if they wanted to sell it. She did email me, but wasn't keen on selling it unfortunately.

I was looking into it again about a month ago, and I was quite surprised to find out that apart from the bodykit, they're exactly the same as the non-M 535i. Great looking car, they don't look particularly heavy like the current 5s - anyone ever driven one?

I had a E21 535, and a E28 535 (both manuals) and even at altitude in Gauteng, they went like poop off a shovel, but a bit barge-like in the handling dept if you are used to the nimbleness of an E30.

I'll try to find it but there is an Alpine 11 M535 e28 for sale at the moment and its on a G plate! Yes a G plate. It's minty mint too.

I have owned an E28 535i se (same car but without bodykit) and an M535i, both manual and both very quick, left the factory with 218BHP. A good one with the close ratio manual box is still a very useful tool.

IMHO give the auto a wide berth, it is not the same car at all to drive if performance is what you are after; that said the autos make excellent motorway cruisers

All are under valued and even a very good manual is not likely to fetch much more than £2500-£3000.

Last Saturday at Evolve a lad turned up in a red manual 535 that he paid £300 for.Long way of the condition of the pistonheads car,but a very solid car with great potential.I owned an E28 some years ago,a lowly 520 manual with a cloth interior,kept it 6 years and wept when I sold it.The only positive was that selling released funds and garage space for the Daimler...every cloud etc....

Hi I like them

I got a m535i with a hartge conversion, handles better than you think for the size of car, enough power to keep you happy but not get into trouble.
