1986 E28 M535i For Sale

1986 E28 M535i ADZ5240

Alpine White with pacific blue sports cloth interior.
Purchased new on St. Patricks day 1986 from Bavarian BMW in Belfast this example has worn its years incredibly well, still in fabulously original condition it was found languishing in Cornwall a little green around the edges and generally unkempt my plan was never to take away from its survivor looks but to enhance what had survived and add a period twist.

Always had a soft spot for A. C. Schnitzer styling and upgrades but finding original period parts from the 1980s was never going to be easy and as it proved just so.

Correct fitment steering wheel was first several years went passed and the wheels appeared on German eBay in the correct sizes of 8. 5”x 17” et13 another two years before the rocker cover was sourced again in Germany and eight years to find the correct gear knob at eye watering cost.

Within my ten year tenure ADZ has received everything and way more than it ever needed in the normal preventative maintenance thinking.

From annual servicing and replacing every facet of the suspension to £0. 60 rubber stoppers for door locks this has been an investment of passion for genuine originality and the reward of concours perfection.

Multiple show winner and UK concours finalist it’s been a highly enjoyable journey to attain more than I ever hoped for in the search for ‘perfection’ so what’s changed?
Nothing, it’s just time for something else my love of all pre 90s BMWs hasn’t died just taking a different route.
