1987 BMW 535is Turbo,5 speed

I have owned this car for over 10 years, in that time it has been very fun, reliable classic. own BMW shop in Richmond VA so no expense spared to update and maintain my car. The car is not stock and has has turbo kit installed. The turbo allows it to sail past modern BMW??�s and it??�s always received approving nods at car shows and meets, but it??�s smooth and comfortable enough for road trip. My family is growing and it??�s becoming harder for me to find the time this car needs to keep it healthy, so it??�s time for me to pass it along. Cosmetics on this car are 6.5/10. Although it shines up great the paint is original and has just over 330,000 miles on it so you??�ll see rock chips and scratches all over the paint. The interior is nice, with some wear in the normal areas, the dashboard has the typical E28 cracks. There is rust spot in the trunk and few spots underneath but the body is fairly clean otherwise. Mechanically the car is sound, regularly drive this car on long trips with confidence. I??�ll be sad to see it go, but i??�ll be happy to see it go to new owner.
