Probably would help if you elaborate what you mean by retrofit 525 to 535. You swapped the engine, etc. of the car?

BMW Brad is prob the closest to guessing the 525i to 535i mod.

Mods:

New head lights & tail lights LCI conversion
New front bumper
DVD + Navi upgrade
Aluminum steel dash (silver on silver) very clean

Only thing missing compared to the 535i is the 08+ steering wheel.
+1,000 can do new 535i steering wheel mod and gear shifter




I don't know if the image will come out but if you want pictures just email me at jh.david.lim@gmail.com

There's 79k miles on it and it is listed at $25k. No accidents clean title only one owner before me and that was the BMW dealership.

... you must be insane to think the above constitute as 525 to 535 retrofit.

hahahahahahahahahaha!

+1 on Simon's comment.


this feels like a sales pitch from a shady character on a C-lot used car dealership.


"original miles, all highway, it was owned by a little old lady who only drove it on Sundays to church, her grandson upgraded it while putting himself thru night school to become a certified BMW mechanic....ill even toss in a free woodgrain shifter knob if you pay cash and driver her home today!"


in any event, GLWS but i dont think $25k for an 06 525/535i hybrid will gain much traction with this audience
