This 1992 BMW 535i has spent time from new in California and was acquired by the seller in
2010. Power is from a 3.4-liter inline-six that is said to have been overhauled in 2018 and
fitted with a 284 degree performance camshaft, upgraded rocker arms, 24-lb fuel injectors, a
flywheel from an E34 M5, and a Mark D�Silva DME chip. Equipment includes a five-speed
manual transmission, a sunroof, power-adjustable and heated front seats, dual-zone climate
control with air conditioning, cruise control, an onboard computer, and a Pioneer CD player.
Additional work carried out during current ownership has consisted of replacement of the
differential, installation of upgraded suspension and braking components, and a conversion
of the air conditioning system to use R134a refrigerant. This E34 535i indicates 230k miles and
is offered at no reserve with tools, manufacturer�s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a
clean California title.
The car is finished in Alpine White II and features European-style �smiley� headlights, fog
lamps, and a power-sliding sunroof. BMW Motorsport badges have been added to each side
and an M Performance decal is affixed to the lower portion of the left door.
The 17? wheels feature polished lips and are wrapped in 235/45 Delinte DH2 tires. The
suspension has been upgraded with KYB dampers, an E34 M5 front sway bar, and a Racing
Dynamics adjustable rear sway bar. Additional work performed during current ownership has
included replacement of the front control arms, inner and outer tie rods, and rear upper
suspension links along with installation of reinforced rear subframe bushings, brake calipers
from an E34 540i, slotted rotors, and Akebono pads.
The cabin is upholstered in black leather with matching plastics, a replacement headliner, and
carpets as well as burl wood veneer and Alcantara accents. Amenities include power-
adjustable and heated front seats, dual-zone climate control with air conditioning, cruise
control, an onboard computer, a short shifter from a Z3 topped with an M-branded knob, and
a sound system with Pioneer and Polk Audio components.
White instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-
rpm redline along with gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and instant economy. The
digital odometer indicates 230k miles, of which approximately 10k have been added by the
seller.
The 3.4-liter M30 inline-six is said to have been overhauled in 2018 and fitted with a 284
degree performance camshaft, upgraded rocker arms, 24-lb fuel injectors, a flywheel from an
E34 M5, and a Mark D�Sylva DME chip. The air conditioning system was converted to use
R134a refrigerant in 2018, while an oil and filter change was carried out in early 2020.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Getrag 260 five-speed manual transmission and a
limited-slip differential with a 3.64:1 gear ratio. A Billy Boat cat-back exhaust system was
installed during current ownership, and the rear main bearing seal, rear transmission seal,
flex disc, and clutch hydraulic cylinders have been replaced. Stainless steel clutch lines have
also been fitted, and the transmission and differential have been filled with Red Line fluids.
Manufacturer�s literature is included in the sale.
The June 2020 Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in

This 1992 BMW 535i is finished in Alpine White over a black leather interior and is powered
by a 3.4-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip
differential. Equipment includes 18? M Parallel wheels, H&R coilovers, a sunroof, fog lights,
power-adjustable seats, air conditioning, a Dinan chip, and an aftermarket audio system. The
car was first registered in Florida and reportedly remained with its original owner until the
seller�s acquisition in 2020. Subsequent service reportedly included replacing the oil pressure
sensor, ignition coil, distributor cap and rotor, radiator, water pump, clutch slave cylinder,
spark plugs, and more as detailed below. This E34 shows 226k miles and is now offered with
service records from the seller, spare parts and wheels, a clean Carfax report, and a clean
California title in the seller�s name.
The exterior is finished in Alpine White II (218) and features front fog lights, contrasting side
moldings, and a power-operated sunroof. The car is equipped with Depo �smiley� headlights
with Hyluxtek HID 4500k bulbs, a later front and rear bumper, M5 side skirts, and ceramic
window tint.
The hood and left quarter panel show evidence of paintwork, and the seller
states that the front fascia was refinished to correct stone chips. A rust spot is noted under
the driver�s door window trim, and there are cracks in the paint on the front fender lips.
18? M Parallel wheels sourced from an E38 7-Series are mounted on 25mm H&R spacers in
the front and 20mm Macht Schnell spacers in the rear. Nitto NT555 G2 tires measure 245/40
at all four corners.
The suspension is fitted with H&R coilovers, Ground Control camber
plates, and Turner Motorsport spherical thrust arm and lower control arm bushings. The
seller recently replaced the brake pads and rotors and performed a brake fluid flush. The
factory 15? wheels and tires are included in the sale.
The cabin features seats and armrests upholstered in blue leather along with a matching
dashboard and carpets. Features include wood trim, air conditioning, power accessories, a
trip computer, BMW-branded floor mats, and a Continental head unit with Rockford Fosgate
speakers.
The airbag steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges
for fuel level and water temperature. The digital odometer is said to show just over 226k
miles.
