Hi: Thanks for posting this car. If anyone knows of any m535i here in the usa, it would be great to get them listed in one place.
The registry has a lot more than 13 in the usa......

Need ya'lls help, and might need to make another post for this.
I have an 86 Euro "M"535i that was involved in an accident, taxi cab ran a stop sign. I need to be proactive and need ya'lls help or direction to figure out what the present value would be of my Euro beauty.
It was imported in '89 by a gentleman who was in the Special Forces unit in Germany, and I am the second owner. It is not a concourse car, but it is/was in great shape, interior especially is almost pristine.
I have a feeling their insurance company will try to value it as a plain jane 535. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I really need prices/examples of any Euro cars that have been purchased/sold in the last few years.
Please email, message...

Where's this one been?

1985 E28 Euro M535i Dinan turbo
Purchased from workshop technician at Dinan Engineering (Mountain View, CA) in 1996 – body showed 152,000 miles at that time
The car has the full Dinan turbo/suspension/brakes performance package from the early 1990’s
Car had been imported from Germany and has Federal Motor Vehicle Standards Import sticker and B.A.R. Engine Identification sticker (for emissions compliance) identifying the presence of the turbo. NOTE: the actual VIN is WBADC710XD0641184 - EBay would not let me list this in the VIN box.
Since leaving CA the car has spent most of its time in Houston or in heated indoor storage in Cleveland - I have driven the car 40,000 miles in the last 16 years and the car has had quality maintenance and parts replacement where needed.
I am an Engineer and BMW enthusiast (owned four, still own two) and I’m thinning my collection of cars and bikes – too many toys, not enough garage space! Call me on (216) 401 5071 with questions – I can recommend a car transporter and will assist with loading, but you will need to set it up.
Overall – an interesting and very rare car that you can enjoy every day - and that will likely repay restoration work if you wish!
Euro M535 features
Letter of Authenticity from BMW M GmbH in Munich (see photo)
Alpineweiss (Alpine White)
Black leather interior and upholstery on M sport seats (Recaro?)
Original Euro M body kit (see photos)
Close-ratio 5 speed transmission with dogleg first gear (Getrag 262CR? - see photo)
Three-spoke M sport steering wheel
No internal protection barriers in doors
Cruise control (I have never used it)
Headlight aiming mechanism (may be disconnected)
Central locking
Power windows on all 4 doors
Power sunroof
Dinan features
Intercooled Dinan turbo (adjustable wastegate currently set to 9psi – which is plenty!)
Dinan engine management computer
Dinan exhaust mods on stock M535i exhaust (stock BMW muffler modified and re-welded)
Dinan dual chrome exhaust tips (see photo)
850i V12 front brakes and calipers (stock brakes and calipers come with the car)
Full Dinan suspension upgrade (springs, Bilstein shocks, etc.)
Dinan camber kit (camber rings not currently installed but with the car - see photo)
Dinan trunk badge (see photo)
Dinan floor mats (see photo)
Additional info
Genuine BMW M “throwing star” forged wheels 17x8 with 20mm offset. Some very minor rash but all are straight (see photo)
Dunlop SP Sport D40 M2 tires 255/40 ZR17 (decent tread and grip, but probably now too old and hard to be ideal)
Original 1985 BMW 165TR390CH metric spare wheel with 220/55 VR390 Michelin TRX tire (neither has ever been used – will not fit over the 850i brakes - see photo)
ACT basket weave spare 16x7 ½ (25mm offset) with 205/55 R16 Dunlop D60A2 tire (this spare will fit over the 850i brakes)
Big folder of receipts for quality maintenance and parts replacement over the years:
Much overhaul and cylinder head work by the late great Mike Perkins at Bavarian Machine in Houston (over $16.8k in receipts)
Recent turbo inlet work by Brett Anderson at Koala Motor Sports in Cleveland
E28 workshop manual (Bentley)
BMWCCA Enthusiasts Companion
The good the bad and the ugly
Everything (electrics, instrumentation, mechanicals) works well
Engine, gearbox, drive train, steering, brakes all in excellent shape - no funny noises, leaks or indications that work is needed
A/C converted to R134 – works well (as well as a typical E28 system - not ice cold!)
Euro M535 did not have a cat – high flow cat was fitted for CA but I have replaced it with a straight pipe and no longer have the cat – car is exempt from OH smog (over 25 years old)
Paint appears original with minor aging, no signs of any accident repair, no rust evident except minor surface rust spot at base of rear window (see photo)
Interior is good, no damage to leather other than some aging creases - no splits or holes in the leather (see photos)
Interior door panels (black leather), carpets (dark grey), roof liner (grey) all in great shape (see photos)
Aftermarket Panasonic AM/FM/CD player with auxiliary amplifier/graphic equalizer is in car – works well but easily removed (I do not have the original stereo).
One or two power window switches need contact cleaning
Original tool tray in trunk is complete but tools need clean-up
Dash top cover is cracked but covered by removable custom-fit dash mat (see photo of cracks)
Leather cover on steering wheel has worn through in one spot
Some window trim and other interior trim items need minor attention

Look what I found for sale on mobile.de:
I didn't know 5280 JB's car was on offer in Hamburg
Looks like they got Bank of America there, too.

Looks like they got Bank of America there, too.Either that or I smell scam. Nice to know ebay scams exist in all languages.5280 JB wrote:Just checked the garage - my car is still there. Maybe I should report my car stolen in Hamburg and claim the one listed for sale
That image comes up on Google image searches and must have been easier to copy it than taking a picture of the actual car listed for sale. Nice.
