Up for sale is my 1986 Bmw 535i. The car has been fitted with 5.3 liter V8 from a 2005 chevy silverado and 4l60e 2wd AUTOMATIC transmission to match. The car is a fun little hot rod that only needs good loving home.


overview video

Drivetrain:
-2005 Chevy 5.3L V8 L33(all aluminum engine), ~115000 miles when pulled from donor truck. runs excellent. dyno'd at 260 hp and 275 ftlb

Exterior:

Car is in great shape for its age, but as can be expected does have some rust and ding/dents/peeling paint. The worst of the rust is along the driver side floor board and could use some patching, or you could ignore it like i do. The car has also been fitted with a cowl hood to clear the intake manifold and engine accessories. overall i would rate it a 6/10 for its age. Body has somewhere around 180k miles.

Interior:

-All leather interior,
-Power seats (all working)
-Power windows (rears not working)
-Power Sunroof (works great, no leaks)
-modified factory cluster to fit aftermarket gauges, (no speedometer)
-no front carpet, custom made trans tunnel


Final Notes:

This car is not perfect, and is not for everyone. But it is a reliable finished cruiser that is ready to enjoy.

Please contact me with any questions you may have.
The price is $5000 obo, i am not really interested in trades but would consider a stock 5speed subaru

What? I wasn't trying to be a smart ***, yeah they are flipped, ran back through the fenders, and down and along the side.

Rocknrace03

no room for traditional exhaust with the starter and steering box. the headers enter the fender well up front and exit at the rocker panel where they are vbanded to the side pipes
