For Sale: 1985 535i parts car

Post by Mike in Seattle »

1985 535i 5 Speed

Delphin with black interior

First the good:

G265 5 speed manual
Short block had a full rebuild w/custom Wiseco pistons. It had less that 500 miles on it when parked. It does not currently have a head on it, but the cylinders have rags stuffed in them that have been soaked in oil and then a valve cover covering everything.
Full Metric Mechanic performance Exhaust
I'm pretty sure it has a 3.46 Limited slip diff
It is currently full of spare parts, including a euro front valance that needs some body work and a US 535is spoiler.
I also will throw in a Euro M-Tech front spoiler that has some cracks and needs some body work.

Now here's the catch! It made an awful metallic tick when it was running. Sounded almost like a valve tick at idle but got progressively worse and louder as the engine revved. I thought it was a timing chain tensioner issue, but I was never able to confirm.

It has been parked for 15 years.
It doesn't have any grills or headlights.
It has a Maaco paint job that is peeling off in areas.
The body is not in great shape.
It will need to be trailered, but it is a roller.

Here is a link to my Craigslist add with pictures.

Thanks Austin! I think someone can make a nice profit. I left a lot on the bone for the next owner.
