Up for sale is a beautifully restored 1986 BMW E28 535i, finished in classic silver over a striking blue interior and equipped with a 3.5-liter inline-six producing 192 horsepower, paired to a manual transmission. This particular example represents the culmination of meticulous craftsmanship and dedication, having undergone a full bare-metal restoration with no corner left untouched. Now offered for sale due to the recent arrival of an E28 M5, this 535i is ready for a new home in a discerning enthusiast’s garage.

The car was completely disassembled and rebuilt from the ground up, with every element of the body, engine, suspension, brakes, and interior addressed. The restoration process included stripping the car down to the sheet metal and performing a comprehensive surface treatment to eliminate any trace of corrosion or wear. The results speak for themselves: the silver paint gleams with depth and clarity, and the iconic E28 lines remain crisp and perfectly aligned. Detailed documentation, including a printed restoration booklet and extensive photographic records, accompany the car, offering full transparency into the quality of the work performed.

Under the hood lies the renowned 3.5-liter M30 inline-six engine, a powerplant celebrated for its torque-rich delivery and bulletproof reliability. Mated to a manual transmission, this E28 offers the kind of engaging driving experience that made BMW’s reputation in the 1980s. With 220,000 kilometers on the odometer, the car has been mechanically refreshed and is poised to deliver many more rewarding miles to its next caretaker.

Inside, the deep blue interior has been completely refurbished, offering a clean, period-correct atmosphere that’s both inviting and rare. Everything from the seat upholstery to the dash trim and carpets has been carefully restored, and the factory air conditioning system is present and functional, adding comfort to the classic sport sedan experience.
