The BMW M535i E28, produced from 1985 to 1988, was a high-performance variant of the BMW 5 Series (E28) that embodied the spirit of the burgeoning "gentleman's racer" era. Built upon the already refined 5 Series platform, the M535i was given a significant power boost with the inclusion of the potent M30B35 engine, a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-six that churned out a respectable 218 horsepower. This engine, coupled with a standard five-speed manual transmission or optional four-speed automatic, provided a spirited driving experience with a balance of power and refinement.

Beyond the engine upgrade, the M535i was visually distinguished by its sporty aesthetic. It featured unique bodywork, characterized by a more aggressive front bumper with integrated fog lights, side skirts, and a rear spoiler for added downforce. Inside, the M535i boasted a luxurious and driver-focused interior, featuring leather upholstery, sport seats, and a stylish woodgrain dashboard. The M535i E28, while not a full-fledged M-car, offered a compelling blend of performance, comfort, and style. It became a popular choice for those seeking a subtle yet potent driving machine, solidifying its place as a desirable classic amongst BMW enthusiasts.
