Seen this car many times over the years. Always well kept. 

Seems way too cheap.

Thats lovely. I feel like the price is about right for a non-turbo B10? Its basically just a flashy auto 535i with some engine mods after all, so the market would be quite niche

This is a fine car. Owned by a friend who I met over 20 years ago when I bought a lovely 535is from him. An enthusiast who gave me so much knowledge about the brand from the 70's and 80's. He has had some fabulous cars from that period. I saw this car on the courtyard at Clark's in Parnell in 2000. Lovely car - Ex Sytner Alpina car - their agents in the UK.  Drove it many years ago - incredible handling - truly belied its mileage. Special car from that era when Alpina was making cars as good or better than BMW M. Never had Alpina decals. Not sure why.

That was cheap, I would have bought it if I had seen it earlier.
 

To the questions on trademe: Sytner did 4-digit numbers on their plaques. The stuff about other options missing is the usual garbage question from someone who's only seen the specced up models on 'dream cars' calendars.

I'll admit that the plaque doesn't look original though? Different border to my e36 B3 and ex e30 Sytner C2 which both had the same machine-bevelled 45deg edge.

Looks like a regular 535i to me?

Dad used to have an E34 535i while I was in high school, and I thought it was pretty cool.  Glacier blue with dark navy leather.

Hey guys, 

Just wanted to update this, I've purchased this car - it needs some TLC but it has been very well taken care of mechanically (BM Workshop history) previous owner is an absolute legend and BMW enthusiast with a wealth of knowledge.

I will admit it took some convincing for him to sell the car but happy i got it over the line.

Congratulations mate, AT is one of those true BMW enthusiasts who was fanatical about the brand before it became what it is today. He is was part of the scene when Ross Jensen had the agency to import BMW’s into NZ and has so much knowledge about cars and people who had them in the early days. He is an Alpina enthusiast but has owned some seriously good examples of other lovely BMW’s . I bought a 1989 535is off him in 2000 - and we subsequently became friends. A fountain of knowledge and has advised me over the years on E24’s, E34’s and E31’s. He once let me take this car for a drive … despite already clocking some inter-galactic miles, it drove beautifully. Great car and lovely man. Congrats again!

Didn’t have much luck selling a little while back but open to moving it on if anyone is serious.
