I like the color, not sure on the wheels, but all in all a clean whip. I'll bet it's a blast to mat your foot and feel the smooth hard pull.....

My plan was to immediately swap the wheels for bbs style 5s, but the throwing stars are really growing on me.

The M System II wheels also look pretty nice without the covers.

Love it, need more pics! I vote keep the throwing stars because they are legitimate M5 parts and help cool the brakes.

NICE score! I’d leave it alone. The wheels completely ‘fit’ IMHO. What’s the story?

I casually mentioned I wanted a 535is at my shop. They connect me with a guy who had a done one that's been on the fence for years about selling. I contacted him, gave him what he asked (which wasn't much) and drove home. Happened fast.

260 on the dyno at the wheels. It's quick. Actually feels really similar to my 87 Carrera (that was also worked over).
