Under the bonnet is a 3.5-litre ‘M62’ V8, coupled to a six-speed ‘Steptronic’ automatic gearbox. The odometer displays 225,346 kilometres from new. The vehicle benefits from a comprehensive service history, and has now been with the seller for around one year. This 535i is finished in Cosmos Black with high gloss Shadow Line window trims, over a black Montana leather-trimmed interior with an Anthracite headlining and fine wood trim over the dashboard, centre console, and door cards. It rides on a set of 17-inch ‘Style 37’ wheels, shod in Winrun tyres. The specification includes the M Sport package, which brings uprated suspension, aerodynamics and a multifunction steering wheel, as well as an electric sunroof, electrically adjustable sports seats with memory function, BMW Professional navigation system, a six-disc CD changer, Park Distance Control (PDC), xenon lights, automatic air conditioning, an onboard computer, and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). The vehicle will be accompanied by its original owner’s manuals, service book, and toolkit. The registration ‘GE69794’ will not be included in the sale. There has been no known bodywork damage. The Cosmos Black paintwork is in good condition, with some minor blemishes on the front bumper, bonnet, door mirror caps, wings, and door panels, all in keeping with the car’s age and mileage. Inside, there is some minor wear to the driver’s backrest and some age-related creasing throughout, but the Montana leather upholstery is otherwise in good shape for its age. Some minor scuffs and scrapes can be seen on the dashboard plastics. No mechanical or electrical faults have been detected, and there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. This 535i’s most recent maintenance was carried out in May 2022 at 224,950 km when the technicians sat Total Prestige Motors changed the engine oil as part of an Inspection II service.
