The E12 5 Series range was legendary when new. It entered the world to the concept of a ‘5 Series’ and it was one of the first cars produced with the help of the M division, which produced the BMW M535i. For a lot of people, even though the car was never actually called that officially, this was sort of the original M5. Also, there were very few made, and all of them were done by hand, in an era that was a lot more complex than what we know today.
The production figures were rather limited also. Only 1,410 units were ever produced of the BMW M535i and out of those, just 450 were done in the right-hand form. For some, that may be a problem while others might see it as a contentious gain, acknowledging the limited numbers accessible.
Sure, you’re only going to experience this car in countries where you drive on the left, but that just makes the experience more exclusive, true?
As for the car being offered for sale here at auction, it is wearing the very rare Reseda Green Metallic color with matching tinted green windows and black leather insides. These were fitted to the car brand new according to BMW as were the Recaro seats, AC, electric windows, and sunroof.
As for the other specs you might be involved in on a car this old, you have to know it has 109,000 miles on the clock and it was completely enjoyed over the years, not sneaked away in a garage.
The car was reconditioned in 2019 and was intended to be driven daily until this year convinced us all how hopeless our plans are. The car is looking unquestionably mint and even has a blog post online, assigning everything done to it and why it must go.
