i just bought an m535i on ebay, im off to collect next week and had a few questions: what are the differences between the 535 and the m5, and does the m535i qualify as a proper 'm' car? ------------- Roll of Honour: ('86 e30 316) ('86 e24 628csi) ('94 e32 730ise) ('91 e30 318is) ('87 e28 m535i)<<Now in service

m5 e28 is a real M car
m535 e28 just a badged up 535 - but from what 'they' say a great car and very good value for what it is |

Was that the blue one, black leather with 7 series wheels? I think you'll find the difference is the M5 has more power (286 bhp) and handles well due to a different suspension set up. The M535 does not have the most forgiving handling characteristics especially in the wet on TRX tyres. I guess M5 owners will say the M535 was not a 'proper' M as it was not until the e28 M5 came along that BMW really nailed the M package. That's not to say an M535 can't be a whole lot of fun though |
