Total of ~$30k in receipts included with the sale.

There are a few items that should be addressed at some point:

· Small oils leaks at pan and timing cover.

· P/S fluid is seeping.

· A/C requries annual recharge.

· Trunk hinges installed by the body shop are from a non-535is/M5. Correct 535is hinges included with the sale.

· The dash has numerous cracks. A nicer, albeit with some small cracks, replacement dash is included with the sale.

· Body has its share of chips, dings and small scratches. There is a large paint chip on M-Tech front bumper (occurred during installation), just below the kidney.

· The TRX tires have good tread, but are aging. Too bad the M-Tech style wheels were only made in metric.

The car will continue to add a few miles until sold.

The leather is in nice condition. The driver seat has some wear, but no rips or tears. The door cards look great. The car is very tight and quiet compared to other E28s previously owned.

Includes owner’s manual, an extra trunk badge, and the 535 is trunk emblems.

There are fewer and fewer nice condition E28’s around, not many in Zinno, and it’s fairly rare to see an E28 of any model with an M-Tech kit. Message me with any questions.
