AI Listing Summary
This modified 1985 BMW 535i is presented with a rebuilt 3.5L M30 engine, a 5-speed manual transmission, and numerous performance and comfort upgrades, including E34 brakes and Bilstein suspension. The car has received interior refreshment, but there are noted exterior paintwork issues and some electrical faults with the windows and defroster, along with a "Not Actual Mileage" title designation.
Condition
7
The car has undergone significant modifications and updates, including a rebuilt engine, upgraded brakes, suspension, and interior refreshment. However, there's evidence of paintwork on some panels, the rear window defroster is non-functional, and the rear-right window operates slowly. The odometer reading is considered not actual mileage, indicating potential wear not fully captured by the displayed miles. These factors place it in a 'Very Good' condition category, as it's well-maintained with some visible imperfections and requires minor attention.
