Classic German: 1985 BMW 535i E28

With the current rise in prices for “cool” cars, I wonder how many more years will the E28 generation BMW 5-series be as affordable? The E28 (1981-1998) offers a purity of driving experience undulled by electronic power steering, stability control, traction control or any number of electronic nannies found in modern cars…and they have a grill that isn’t hideous like a new BMW grill. Find this 1985 BMW 535i E28 offered for $5,200 in Downey, CA via craigslist.

Normal things for a 30+ year old car but overall great shape for what it is.
