Summary
This 1988 BMW 535is, showing 185k miles, features a seller-installed 5-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, and a Turner Motorsports ECU chip. It also boasts an upgraded suspension with H&R lowering springs and Bilstein shocks, along with refreshed Pearl Beige leather sport seats. The car has a clean California title, though paintwork was performed on the hood, roof, and trunklid to address clearcoat issues.
