Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Working on a small project and just trying to get any info i can about the E34 535iS.

Below is everything i have come up with so far, anything that can be added would be great, especially if anyone knows the build numbers and markets they were brought into.

- 3.5L i6 M30 Engine

- 211HP @ 5700rpm + 305Nm @ 4000rpm

- 0-100 Stock 7.8Seconds

- Manual Standard

- 25% Locking LSD Standard

- M-Tech Body Kit Standard + Boot Spoiler

- M-Tech Sports Seats (Leather Optional)

- M-Tech I or II Wheel (88-89 I, 90+ II?)

- Sports Suspension, Lower than normal 535i, (bilstein?) , Stiffer Maybe + Better Sways?

- Polished Rocker Cover?

- OBC Standard? (not sure exactly)

- Front Fogs

- ABS Brakes

- 2 Way Sunroof Standard?

Any more info is greatly appreciated, maybe even if someone knows how many are around in NZ, theres a surprising amount on trademe at the moment too!

Cheers,

Kiwi535 Your VIN decoded looks very similar to mine,

Assuming then that the de-cat would be standard (or maybe only NZ?)

HiFi System sure sounds goooood :)

Paul, my car is an HD12 but not a 535is. Mine is SE spec without the suspension or M-kit etc. Here's my buildsheet for comparison.

As for build numbers it seems very hard to find,

Just exactly where the 535is ' were sold is hard to track down, the internet has quite conflicting information, as far as i know America didn't get them but may have just had 535i with a sports option. I think Australia, NZ, UK and South Africa had what is known as a 535is but its hard to say how many were made total, especially seeing that a full motorsport 535i is seen as a 535i sport, which is surely a 535is? Just different badging?

Few places say less than so ever many thousand total, with Australia getting 500 or less?

Cant imagine there's too many around in NZ!

535is = 535i motorsport there are few of then in nz i would say 20 max.The NZ cars were not fitted with a cat or o2 sensor as at that time we were still running leaded petrol
