1984 BMW 533i E28 California Car AT Mechanically Excellent Great Daily Driver

1984 BMW 5-Series I AUTOMATIC Description

This car is a clean, complete, original, great running California car. Everything works as it should except for the cruise control, which I have never troubleshooted. As you can see from the pictures, the exterior and interior are in very good to excellent condition. The exterior paint holds a nice shine, the the leather seats are in great shape, the door panels, carpets, and headliner are all near perfect.The dash has a few cracks as shown in the pics. I have owned the car for about 7 years, and have strived to undertake whatever repairs it needed to make it safe, attractive, enjoyable, and reliable.These repairs and improvements include:A professional valve job including replacement of all gaskets, hoses, etc.New radiator and thermostat.Rebuild of front end components-bushings tie rods, and alignment.Brake Service.Automatic Transmission fluid change.New Michelin tires.New OEM muffler system and catalytic converter.Repad driver's seat for comfort and support.Replace hood insulation and rubber ventilation ducts as shown in pics.Brand new battery as of February 2020.New AM/FM/CD Player in 2020.I have a folder of receipts for most all of the parts and repairs.I have NO idea why this car is designated as a salvage vehicle. Please remember that under California law, a vehicle is so designated if its repair costs at the time of damage exceeded the valuation from the Insurance Companies. Even very minor body damage can cost more than the insurance value under this system.This car is so reliable that it needs nothing more than oil changes, tire rotations, and a new battery every 6 years. It has been stored in my garage most of the time for many years.I will do assist in facilitating pickup or delivery of this vehicle to its new owner. Please contact me with any questions, for more details, or for more pictures.
