Re: M535 vs M5

[ChrisBourk@xxxxxxx]

Dave,

There is actually a lot of differences between your car and the M5.  Your car
is essentially a 535 with a trim package - but a nice trim package.

I would say the MAJOR difference is the engine.  The M5 uses a DOHC 4 valve
motor where your's uses a SOHC two valve motor.

All the other stuff is piddiling...

 Subject: What's The Difference?
 
 I  recently purchased a 1987 M535is and am wondering what, if any,
 differences there are between my car and the M5?  In the course of
 having my engines gaskets and seals replaced, my mechanic noticed
 pitting in the cam shafts.  Does my vehicle have a special one or is it
 a stock 3.5 camshaft?
