Re: 87 535is...Couldn't be Cooler for a hs kid! (archive)

You're a lucky guy....fix it up if you can afford to do it. I was driving around in a 1972 Toyota Corona Wagon when I was 16. Take a look at my '87 'is and you tell me if you think you'd look cool driving around at age 16 in such a car.

Enjoy! Count your blessings and good luck. Don't forget to DRIVE SAFELY!!!!!!! Oh, and please don't "rice" it out ;-)

I have an 87 535is that my dad and I bought to fix up. Its in good condition but the real fixing hasnt started yet. I would like your opinion as to whether this would be a cool car or not a cool car for a high school kid to drive. For some background info i go to a school where every kid when they get their license is expected to be bought a brand new BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Audi, Jaguar etc.... Right now im 15 and im trying to decide if its worth it to fix up. The fixig up would include new paint(royalblau metallic), interior re-dye(pearlbeige), and some of the more common upgrades for example a chip, bigger wheels tires, short shift, possibly a performance exhaust and high grade sound system. What do you guy's and gal's think? Cool for me or not? I appreciate any opinions. Thanks
