BMW 535 3.5L I6 1987
General description :
For sale in our Chicago showroom is this very rare 1987 BMW 535i. Anyone who lived through the ‘80s is probably thinking “I saw those driving all over town back in the day!” and you probably did! This one, however, was a Japanese market vehicle, of which only 1,140 were made! Powering this BMW is a 3.5l fuel injected 6 cylinder engine mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission with 3 selectable shift modes allowing for Sport, Economy, or “3-2-1” (manual) mode. Any vehicle will see some wear and tear over the years, and this BMW is no exception, but several steps have been taken to correct the effects of time on this beauty. The front seats had parts recovered and look brand new. The roof had some spotting from the sun, so a fresh coat of bright red was applied to bring the luster back into this German gem. Much of the suspension has been overhauled, as well as the brakes, as well as new 18” wheels and tires, making this M-packaged classic drives like new! Fire up this 3.5l straight-6 and prepare yourself for a great ride! Options include: Air-Conditioning, AM/FM/CD, Power Sunroof, Power Windows, Telescopic Wheel, Power Mirrors, Vinyl Interior, Cloth Interior, Alloy Wheels, and Radial Tires.

About BMW

Bayerische Motoren Werke, commonly known as BMW, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916. Initially established as an aircraft-engine manufacturer during World War I, BMW faced restrictions on aircraft production after the war. In response, the company shifted its focus to motorcycle production in 1923, marking the beginning of its involvement in the automotive industry. Subsequently, BMW entered the world of automobiles in 1928 by producing the DIXI, essentially a licensed version of the Austin 7 from the Austin Motor Company.
In the 1930s, BMW began to establish itself as a manufacturer of elegant and high-performance vehicles. One notable model from this era is the BMW 327, introduced in 1937. The 327 was available as both a coupe and a cabriolet, showcasing the brand's commitment to luxury and style. Additionally, BMW achieved success in sports car racing during this period, particularly with the BMW 328. The 328, which debuted in 1936, became renowned for its performance and aerodynamics. BMW campaigned the 328 in various racing events, including the prestigious Mille Miglia, where the company introduced several aerodynamic specials.
The post-war era proved challenging for BMW, and the company faced financial difficulties that nearly led to bankruptcy. However, BMW managed to recover and rebuild, eventually becoming one of the leading premium automotive brands globally.
As the 1960s unfolded, BMW further solidified its reputation for producing sports-oriented and luxurious vehicles. In 1968, the BMW 2002 was introduced, marking the birth of the "New Class" of compact, sporty sedans. The 2002 gained popularity for its agile handling and performance, laying the foundation for BMW's sporty image.
Moving into the 1970s, BMW expanded its lineup with the introduction of the E9 platform, which included the iconic BMW 3.0 CS coupe. The E9 series showcased BMW's commitment to blending performance and luxury. In 1972, the M1, BMW's first mid-engined sports car, made its debut. The M1 was initially developed as a racing car but later became a road-going model. The M1 laid the groundwork for BMW's high-performance M series.
In the late 1970s, the BMW E24 6 Series was introduced, offering a combination of luxury and performance. The 6 Series included models like the 630CS, 633CSi, and 635CSi, becoming a symbol of sophistication and driving pleasure.
Through these milestones and a commitment to innovation and performance, BMW has evolved into a powerhouse in the automotive industry, maintaining its status as one of the leading premium brands worldwide.
