1985 BMW E28 535i (lemons/Chump car)


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have an E28 535i big six 5 speed for sale. My team has disbanded and I don't have the time or space for it anymore. It's currently not running due to a melted engine harness. I have a new (used) harness that's about 50% installed.

 

Things to get it back in action:

 

Complete the fuse box rewire and rebuilt the shift mechanism. It broke twice at the last Chump race and it's currently rigged at the moment. The car can be placed in gear, but the geometry of the shift lever is way off. It was a quick fix to get us back in the race.

 

The car comes w/ a spare head and various motor spares, power steering pump, alt, plug wires, etc.

 

Here's a copy of the spreadsheet:

Bilstein shocks- 515 -

Shifter rebuild- 98.09 -

Water temp sensors- 30

Battery- 98 -

Rear rotors, front pads, brake lines, fuel filter, oil filter, Super Blue, hood pins- 435.05

$163.65 at OG for decals, mirror (less bracket), roll bar padding, kill switch

$35.51 at Home Depot on wiring

$15.86 at AutoZone for Exhaust Tape

$1155- Roll cage

$180- muffler repair

$225- exhaust manifold repair

$1600- Used 3.5 motor and new exhaust system.

 

 

Essentially, with a little work you'll have a VERY competitive car and for less than 1/3 it took us to build it. We have invested close to 8k

 

I'm looking for 3,500 w/ all the spares or I'm just going to part it out. Brakes and tires have less than an hour one them.

 

Let me know, Patrick
