Summary
This California-owned 1988 BMW 535is features a 3.5-liter engine and 5-speed manual transmission swap, along with extensive recent mechanical work and a professional repaint. The car is offered with a clean California title, though the interior shows wear on the driver's seat and dashboard cracks, and the A/C is inoperable.
