The Zionsville radiator truly is a "plug and play" installation, fitting just like the factory part. Everything lined up: all the hoses, mounting points, shroud mounts, etc. It appears to be a nice quality piece. The biggest problem I had was removing the fan (I installed power pulleys, new belts, tensioners, water pump, t-stat housing, stat, etc. and "deleted" the engine fan). Apparently my BFH wasn't F'ing big enough, even though I was using a sledgehammer by the end (!), so I had to impose on a friend for the loan of the fan clutch holding tool, which made it a piece of cake.

Let's not exaggerate. Mileage isn't a big consideration with these cars, but as they roll on past 200k (and most do), you start to get problems with driveshafts (usually center bearing failure) and wheel bearings. Listen carefully for thumps or vibrations in the driveline. There is a great FAQ at www.m535i.org. A few highlights: -Front end shimmy ... usually upper control arm (thrust arm) bushings; can be replaced with modified 750 parts or poly (Paul Gray bushings are not harsh or squeaky). -Play in steering on-center ... steering box can wear or the mount for the box on the front subframe can crack. -Rust isn't a huge issue, but watch the trunk around licence plate lights and taillights; the lower rear valence (under the bumper) always seems to rust on the right corner. Check for rust in seams along bottom of doors, caused by scraping on high curbs. Some cars get rust in the footwells, but that's not particularly common. Check trunk floor, as leaky trunk seals can cause moisture to collect there. -Shifter slop: shift "knuckle" wears quickly, this accounts for most of the lateral play in gear. Gear engagement should be smooth and quiet, even on a high-mileage transmission. -M30 valve tick: some are noisier than others. If the injector hum drowns out the ticking, you're good. If the valves drown out the injectors, you're either due for an adjustment or, if clearances are appropriate, you may have wear of the rockers or the valve stems. I have really enjoyed owning a 535, and I recommend them. As with all aging vehicles, there will be repairs necessary. Keep the $2k rule in mind when you're shopping. And unless the car is really, really nice, and compression/leakdown numbers are good, you can get it for less than $4.5k. Good luck. -tammer '87 535is, 240k and running strong --- Phil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Found a deal on an E28 (86 535i 5spd) I think I can get > for about 4.5K.

The second - a 535i - sold at 219,000 miles - it needed a new diff at that point but was very strong otherwise.

If any of you are on the edge of your seat wondering what came of the potential purchase, I will end the suspense and tell you the car was a dog with fleas. Too many issues beyond the completely inoperable trans to make it worth pursuing. If any one is aware of any nice E34 Touring for sale in the Midwest, Southeast, I am all ears. Second point, one of my brother's has recently acquired a nice '90 325i that has a bent water pump pulley. The dealer quoted him a good sum of cash for such a simple part. Does anyone have a old M20 motor with a good straight pulley that you are willing to sell and ship to my brother? He is not part of this list yet so I am posting for him for the time being. Feel free to reply directly to me, or him: Peter Harkonen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Andrew Harkonen '89 535i 5 spd.
