AI Listing Summary
This 1987 BMW M535i is a cool, retro ride with a desirable ZinnoBerrot Red finish and recent investment in maintenance. Showing 150,576 miles and an MOT valid until January 2024, it's considered a junior M5 with potential for climbing value, offered at a fraction of the price of the real M5.
Condition
7
Based on the description, the car presents well and is running as it should. The interior is in remarkably good shape. The car has had recent expenditure on maintenance and repairs, including suspension parts, welding, brakes, and tires. However, it does have a few minor advisories on its MOT and six former keepers, suggesting some wear and tear and a less than perfect ownership history.
