Today we serve up a heavily modified 1992 BMW 535i.


This is apparently a "hobby" car that has never been driven in the winter and has been garage-kept.

Mods include the camshaft, exhaust manifold and exhaust system (including the muffler), wheels, and radiator fan. There's a Bilstein suspension, launch control, Konig seats, and Alpina front and rear spoilers.

Our seller claims 239 horsepower for this stick-shift 535i. I do not see a listed mileage.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Mille Miglia 9x17 + 11x17 wheels (cost of rims alone +/- 4000 $)


    The stretch on the rears is rather off putting.

  • Fahrvergnugen The only GP we watch - and attend - is SailGP. Feeds a slightly different bunch of adrenaline junkies, though there must be some overlap.
  • SCE to AUX Fisker filed for reorganization in Austria - the end is near.https://insideevs.com/news/718875/fisker-reorganization-austria/
  • Bd2 I'll watch F1 when Kia and/or Hyundai pony (pun intended) up the cash to field a class leading team. Hyundai is leading many series with the Elantra N with it's incredible 350HP Smartstream-N engine.
  • MaintenanceCosts More or less an admission that the radar-only cars will never do anything that could reasonably be marketed as "Full Self-Driving."
  • Bd2 The coolest true SUV on the market. Change my mind.
