Thinking about a Bimmer
Hey, guys! How is everyone? Thinking about getting a Bimmer and I have some questions. She is an '83 535i. Or at least the guy selling it says she is. I was under the impression that the 535i didn't start until '85. I may be wrong. We went to test drive her and she didn't start. He called us back later (my best friend and I) and told us the car had a blown choke fuse. He fixed it and we're going to test her tomorrow. Says the car has been entirely re-wired. There is a little bit of rust on the driver front fender, but included with the car is a perfect fender that just needs to be painted to match. I can do paint and body work so that's not a huge issue. The issue is, although I work on cars religiously, I don't know much about BMW's and will admit I am a little bit intimidated. The car is beautiful, though, and we are really excited about it. Please let me know what you think and if there are any other concerns I should have about this car. I will get some pics up of her soon. Thanks, guys! |

Right. From Wikipedia.org: 533i: A North-American only model sold from 1983-1984 in limited quantities in response to customer complaints that the 528e had lower performance figures than the 1981 528i that it replaced. Equipped with a 181 hp (135 kW) 3.2L M30 6-cylinder engine as fitted to the larger 633csi and 733i. It produced 195 ft·lbf (264 N·m). torque. The compression ratio was 8.8:1. Top Speed was 134 mph. (man.). The 533i was the fastest sedan sold in the USA in 1983. 535i: Replaced the 533i in 1985 and sold through 1988. The 535i featured a slightly larger 3.4L M30 6-Cylinder engine with 182 hp (136 kW) and greater torque. Compression was down to 8.0:1. Top speed also dropped to 131 mph. (man.). And welcome  |
