Ever see a 535iS? They only offered it for a couple of years, Basically, it was trimmed out like an M5 and had a tweaked suspension, not quite up to M5 specs. The engine was the basic SOHC six that the regular 535i (and 635CSi and 735i) came with. They didn't sell well at all but they were pretty nice. I wanted one as a demo but they were hard enough to sell without miles on them. Plus, the owner wanted a 7 Series in demo service so that's what I drove (when it wasn't out as a service loaner for some high roller).

I have never owned a 2002 or 2002Tii - I have been nosing around, but so far nothing worth shelling out $ for. Seems hard to find them with minimal rust issues, even down here in the sunny south.

First BMW I ever drove was my dad's 1970 2500. I fell in love so in '72 I picked up a 2002 "for the little woman". Great little car! In some ways it was more fun than my 911.
