Description

Please visit www.Survivor-Cars.com for additional photos, information, and a video. This vehicle is available for viewing by appointment only. Please call us to schedule an appointment. With tons of documentation and an inline-6 from sourced from an E34 M5, this 1975 BMW 530i is a wolf in sheep's clothing!

Powered by a 3.6-liter S38B36 inline-six paired with a Getrag 265 five-speed manual transmission, this BMW was modified in 2019 before being acquired by the current seller. The 3.6-liter S38B36 inline-six was reportedly rebuilt by Precision Sport Industries of Oviedo, Florida. A Bosch Motronic 2.1 engine management takes care of the computer side of things and a 635CSi oil cooler keeps the S38 cool. Equipped with Bilstein dampers and adjustable front and rear sway bars, 635CSi strut housings and springs have been installed, along with 635CSi four-wheel disc brakes. 14″ BBS Mahle wheels are wrapped in 195/70 Michelin Defender tires. Noted by the previous owner, the Getrag 265 five-speed manual transmission was rebuilt by Metric Mechanic in Richland, Missouri and that the rear end is equipped with a 3.64:1 limited-slip differential and a Bosch Motronic speed sensor. The exhaust system features E34 M5 exhaust manifolds, stainless steel center pipes, and a Billy Boat muffler.

The previous owner reports the body was refinished in the factory Golf Yellow under previous ownership. A modified front spoiler and composite rear trunk spoiler, a lightened hood and trunk lid, yellow fog lights, a driver's mirror, and a single center-exit exhaust outlet enhance the exterior appearance.

Slide into the interior and black cloth Scheel-Mann front seats are installed, and the rear seats have been reupholstered to match. Equipment includes gray wool carpeting, a replacement headliner, R134a-converted air conditioning, wood trim, floor mats, and a Becker Grand Prix radio. A leather-wrapped Italvolante steering wheel frames a European-market 8k-rpm tachometer, a 635CSi 260-km/h speedometer, and auxiliary gauges.

Sold new by World Wide of Cars in Nanuet, New York, this E12 is now offered with service records, a window sticker, owner's manuals and literature, and a clean Florida title.
