is there an M on the back of the m535i's? i have recently bought an m535i but all of the badges have been stripped ...if the m535i doesn't come with an m on the rear would it be poser to one. does anyone have a picture? ...i really can't find anything about the car, then again i haven't looked too hard

thanks

YES there is a badge. it is just a ///m on the right side of the trunk lid.


From my M535i/Beater

The ///M on the trunk of the M535i was standard for the car, but it could be deleted at the request of the party ordering the car. To see if your car came with one, and the ///M on the grille (was this on the M535i E28 like on the E12), you can check the build sheet for your car. It may still be located under the rear seat or is available at the dealer, just ask the parts guys to print one for you. They should be on-line with BMW AG to access this info. The delete code is SA 320, No exterior badges.

haha... looks like my car

another question... the tag on the inside of my door says M535I/A ...what's A? automatic? i dunno... one my friends tells me my car is not a true M and doesn't deserve and M emblem, because it doesn't have an m engine. does it have the us the 635 csi engine?

...thanks for answering

i/iA just means that the same sticker was used for both manual and automatic equipped cars.

If your car is a true M535i then tell you friend to f#$k off. If BMW put the badge on then it deserves to wear it.

If he doesnt like it, tell him to take it up with BMW AG. By the way, what does he drive?

Yup, there's an ///M on the rear deck, one on the front grille, and (at least on my car) one on each front fender, right behind the wheelwell. Some M535's have a side indicator light in that spot, I believe.

a single I, i dunno what happened here, but no ///M badge... just the remains of what may have been 535i, and there is no m badge on the grill either

my friend has an '86 325e and an '81 323i

...thanks again

The handle under the steering wheel allows the wheel to be moved in and out. It is the lock for that movement. What is the VIN of your car, that will tell us if it is an M or not.

The VIN shows that it is a late production (7/85) Euro 535i The VDS, DC11 is a Euro 535i with a M30b34 and Kat.

M535i VDS breakdown is below:

DC51 M535i LHD KAT EURO
DC52 M535i RHD KAT EURO
DC61 M535iA LHD KAT EURO
DC71 M535i LHD Non-KAT EURO
DC72 M535i RHD Non-KAT EURO
DC78 M535i RHD Non-KAT SA
DC81 M535iA LHD Non-KAT EURO
DC82 M535iA RHD Non-KAT EURO
DC88 M535iA RHD Non-KAT SA
DC89 M535iA LHD Non-KAT JAPAN

ha, that sucks... so it's pretty much a fake m535i. does it have the same engine? ...and why does it have an m535i sticker?

It is the same engine as all M535i that came with a cat. this is the same engine as the US 535i and 535is.
