1987 535iS, Diamantschwarz Black, Ivory Leather Interior, 265K miles, manual transmission, LSD. Beautiful condition, runs super strong, well maintained, 10 years of receipts. Mechanically original/stock. No leaks anywhere on original engine!
I wouldn't even think of selling this car, but I'm moving to snow country and well, she deserves to stay here in sunny california to enjoy her golden years. I've owned her for about two years and have user her as my daily driver every day of the week with only one incident keeping me from my destination (broken shifter assembly bolt). Needless to say, the most reliable car I've ever owned. I also need to attribute that fact to the previous owner who replaced nearly all of the degradables (hosing, fuel lines, etc.) before me which is all detailed in the receipts.
I don't want to go the craiglist route and hand this off to a non-E28aphiliac until I have to so I'm posting this first to the group here.

The pics are from the seller I bought it from so they're about 18 months old. The car is in the same condition, although I've since taken the bra off (still have it and would be included too). I'll take some different shots tomorrow (or as soon as the sun comes out) and add to the photos. Yes, still on metrics; was planning on upgrading but didn't get around to it.wkohler wrote:Beautiful car. How recent are the pictures? Still on metrics?

Hey Skeeter. Good looking car. I especially like the condition of your front seats- very nice!
Quick FYI- the Craigslist link you provided is the publishers' link. You might want to remove that and repost the "viewers" link just in case someone accidentally erases your ad (not to mention their ability to change your asking price...!!)
Good luck with the sale!

PS. I just noticed somebody changed your price, and it certainly was not me.
