Update 23/3/25: I have been travelling with work and unable to liaise with the many people interested in the car. I am back now and available to sell the car. The only other update is that while running the car during the week it got hot after idling for approximately 30 minutes and the auxiliary radiator fan was not activating like it usually does. I turned on a desk fan towards the radiator and the temperature returned to normal. Not sure if it's a fuse, wiring or the fan itself but something to be aware of that needs fixing as part of the process to register the car - I'd assume club registration would be the way to go given it is much cheaper than normal registration.
Rare example of a E34 BMW 535i.
Things about this car that make it a desirable collectible vehicle:
- Full service history and logbook from new (every trip logged since 1989).
- 3.5 litre 6 Cylinder Engine (not the 2.5 litre like on most)
- Manual transmission
- M Sport steering wheel
- Working sunroof
- Interior in fantastic condition.
Photos are from various times over the past few years.
The car does not have rego and is being sold without registration.
I purchased the car as a weekend car about 6 years ago from the original owner who treated it like his baby and spared no expense with maintenance on it.
The only thing I've done is replace the tail shaft which was slightly droning and the car drives amazingly.
However being busy with work, I haven't been able to enjoy this car and I reluctantly feel it is time to pass it on.
It's been on my driveway for a few years so could do with a good cut and polish on the paintwork which will come up nicely.
It has a minor dent on the drivers side indicator area where my wife backed into it.
Comes with all the paperwork I received from the original owner (a whole box full) as well as two batteries (I alternate batteries keeping one on charge and 1 in the car). I start it up every fortnight and let it run for a while).
Car is located in East Killara (2071) NSW
