BMWotD – 28,000km e28 M535i

Thursday, January 3rd, 2019

This ad is just what I was looking for… Same model as my car, an M535i, and the same exterior paint & interior that mine was originally built with, Diamant Schwarz over Anthracite cloth. At some point the interior on mine was swapped for black leather, which I like just fine, but this is marvelous reference material in case I want to replace the worn leather that’s in it with something closer to the original Anthracite cloth upholstery. Given the cost of a leather interior refresh these days, refreshing things as it was originally built might be the less expensive option!

But the ad by itself is gold just to see the photos of this car; it’s a beauty!  Only 28,000 kilometers on the clock, and everything looks factory fresh. I’d love to have my car look this good, but given that I’m already slightly afraid to drive it without it looking perfect, it might never come out of its cocoon.
