  Lot 142
 

1985 BMW M535i

Sold for £3,938

(including buyers premium)


Lot details
Registration No: B293YYT
Chassis No: WBADC720600645232
Mot Expiry: Aug 2016

- 1 of just 1,137 RHD (DC72) examples made, Getrag 'dog leg' gearbox, LSD

- Recently MOT'd following prolonged storage and rated as 'a wonderful driver's car'

- Would benefit from further recommissioning, Alpina badging / alloys

The distinctive-looking M535i was introduced at the 1984 Paris Salon and based on BMW's mechanically identical E28-series 535i, but set apart by its M-Technic aero package. This comprised: deep front air dam; side valance; rear diffuser and spoiler; wheel arch extensions; and body-coloured bumpers. Inside there was an M-badged steering wheel and M-badged sports seats, just to remind you that you were driving something a little special. Some examples were also equipped with such desirable additions as the M-Technic chassis package (firmer Bilstein dampers, shorter springs and stiffer anti-roll bars); close-ratio Getrag gearbox with dog-leg change; and limited slip differential. Power came from the proven M30 3430cc straight-six in 218bhp/224lbft tune. When fully equipped, an M535i provided much of the fun of an M5 for a fraction of the price.

'B293 YYT' is such an example that sports Diamond Black bodywork, Grey cloth upholstery and Alpina wheels/badges. 1 of just 1,137 RHD (DC72) cars made, it was recently granted an MOT following long term dry storage, but the vendor recommends further recommissioning before further hard use. He currently grades the bodywork, engine and transmission as 'good', the paintwork as 'average-good' and the interior trim as 'poor'.
