BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted August 31, 2009 yup . and yes it has a pretty much fully rebuilt engine . hartge head, std cam , valve grind , 10:1 pistons , new rings , bearings etc , gasgets etc . could do with a remap of teh ecu to get the full benefit of the engine mods 3.45lsd jamex springs with new bilsteins , full hartge body kit . (had most of the front , body kit and boot lid repainted etc) 17" by 8" bbs alloys . std exhaust , black leather interior , recaro type sport seats in front which really could do with a redye back to black (was a very dark blue). i spent a fair bit of money on it a few years ago . started with a highish spec'd Sth african 535iA with lowish k's (130,000km) and proceded to mod it with all the goodies i had .

If that had a proper remap done now it should be WELL above that old figure.., buy it back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bekker 7 Report post Posted September 2, 2009 Brent did you say it started life as a 535iA? The guy is stating in the auction that it's a factory manual. Probably doesn't make any difference although if someone really wants a genuine 535iS it might. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably doesn't make any difference although if someone really wants a genuine 535iS it might. yes it was a auto . i just used the latest and lowest millage car i could find to do the hartge conversion with . but i used all the manual bits from a e34 535i except i used a lighter e28 type flywheel rather than the bulky dual mass units they normally use . the car went very well . i had it on the dyno got about 132kw with a chipped ecu but unfortunatly it pinked a little unless i ran it on 98octane . so was sold with just a std ecu about 126/8 kw .(normally about 110kw) but i think with a proper remap (which i was planning to do but then sold the car) it should get about 140kw its got a very rare hartge H5Sk head on it . also a proper hartge body kit etc .
