FS: 1991 535iM - 123k miles

[TimGinCentralNJ]

Folks, I find myself at an unfortunate impass; the fiancee and I are "gittin' hitched" in about a month, and my attempts of 'financial wizardry' to keep a mortgage, two daily drivers, and a bimmer for myself aren't cutting it. This is especially unnerving amidst talk of IT outsourcing at my company: sadly, my 5'er must find a new home.

For those of you looking to upgrade, I think you'll find this to be an extremely clean example. Here's the dilly:

Specs:
-1991 (prod date 9/90) 535iM Islund Grun metallic w/ beige leather (paint: 8/10, interior: 9+/10)
-3.4L (M30) motor with E.A.T. chip (6800 RPM rev-limit version)
-5-speed w/ UUC short-shift kit and ///M shift knob (no, I didn't buy the knob--honest)
-123k miles
-Limited-slip differential
-E34 M5 Throwing Star wheels "sans covers".
-Sumitomo HTR+ tires size 235/45-ZR17 (new Oct 2003--approx 75% tread left).
-OEM BMW (Pioneer) AM/FM/WB/cass/CD audio system with Sony 10-disc changer (head unit, amp and speakers were replaced by PO).
-Ice-cold R-134a retrofitted A/C (professionally done by Otto's BMW - West Chester, PA).
-Milled 750iL front bushings.
-near-complete tool kit.
-new E34 basketweave and spare tire.

Reminds me of Scotty H. His fiance will have him trading the 535 for a minivan in no time. Weak.

If anything goes, it will be her expensive 2003 330Ci. In fact, I just called a couple of guys today about cheap 535s that I can use to replace the body of my car in a couple years when it gets the the point that the rust completely disgusts me!

...within someone else' "For Sale" post kind of like going to an expensive restaurant and discussing "rats"?

Thanks a lot guys--I'm bound to get a lot of bites on my car now!

Honest, just bustin' your chops ;-)
