I have wanted an E28 for a little more than a year now and now that I have one I have to get rid of it. I have been told by several BMW mechanics that this is the best running 535is's they have driven. And before you ask, i was concerned about the transmission swap when I bought this car too, but I can assure you now that the transmission shifts great and ECU work was done well, and I have had no problems whatsoever since I've owned it and the P.O. will tell you the same. I love this car, I drive it to work every week from Auburn to North Bend without it ever letting me down, very reliable. But now that winter is coming and it is snowing already, my dream car is very impractical for driving through the pass everyday. I'd rather trade because I need a car to drive to work, but for $3500 I will sell it. I am located in Auburn, WA. Looking for Quattro Audi's, anything european, manual trans only please, send me an offer, the worst I can say is no. Partial trades welcome.
