hey everyone, i'm new here.
anyways, i took my '84 528e in the shop today because the brakes were scraping really bad, and i asked them to look over my car and see overall what needs to be fixed.
well the brakes are gonna cost a lot, and the whole underside of my car is rusted out and ready to fall apart. So i have decided i am going to sell them the car for parts, and buy a 533i or 535i.
I'm having trouble finding out what the differences of these cars is, is the 535 the european model? i know they both have about 180hp, compared to the 528's 121.
i want the same body style because i have seen some awesome old 5's, with euro body kits and what not, and i was hoping to do it with my 528 but its just no worth it,
so any info i can get on the 533i or 535i would help me out, Thanks!
and RIP to my 528!
oh btw, how much do you think my car is worth?, it has a good engine that i had put in about 2 years ago, about 130k miles on it, this picture is about 6 years old, my car is in much worse shape now.
one more thing, whats the diff between the 535i and is? and were the 533 535 and 535is all sold in the US?
ok, so i guess the 535is is the sport model, did this come in auto and manual?

I paid 5,000 and it could go for as much as 9,000 but I got it for pretty good deal. A site that might help give you info on 535's is
