If you want some affordable classic BMW sedan driving, you\u2019ll have to get a lesser 5 Series and the BMW 535i is just that car. It has the same great looks as the E28 M5 but for far less money. And it also comes with a 3.5 liter inline-six, a five-speed manual, and rear-wheel drive, the way the BMW gods intended.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-211392\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"BMW E28 5 Series 51 750x500\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"image of BMW E28 5 Series 51 750x500\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-211392\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20750%20500%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"BMW E28 5 Series 51 750x500\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-51.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"image of BMW E28 5 Series 51 750x500\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This specific 1986 example is lovely; black on black and in driver\u2019s condition. What\u2019s driver\u2019s condition? It looks really good from just a few feet away but it has it\u2019s little nicks, scratches, and little issues that keep it from being perfect, allowing you to drive it hard guilt free. No one wants to hoon a car that\u2019s absolutely perfect. So one with very minor issues frees you of that mental burden, allowing you to have guilt-free fun with the car.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, it\u2019s even better than outside. It looks really clean and fresh, without any noticeable signs of major wear. It looks like the sort of car you can just get in and drive, without worrying about scratching anything.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-211353\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"BMW E28 5 Series 12 750x500\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"image of BMW E28 5 Series 12 750x500\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-211353\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20750%20500%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"BMW E28 5 Series 12 750x500\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BMW-E28-5-Series-12.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"image of BMW E28 5 Series 12 750x500\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The only modifications on this car are the 7 Series wheels and the Silverline mufflers.

It even still has its big American bumpers, which many American enthusiasts replace with Euro ones.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment (at the time of writing this), there are still seven days left on the auction, with the current bid at $5,000.
