To Clarify, BMW produced a 535i and 535is for the North American market. Both cars used the 3.5 litre 3430cc engine that is also found in the E28 M535i, producing 182bhp with catalysts and 218bhp without. When the engine hit North American shores the engine was hampered by the usual emissions control regulations, including three way catalysts. In an attempt help fuel consumption, the US 535i and 535is were given a 2.63:1 axle ratio. The 535is was offered with a switchable automatic transmission and a 5 speed manual transmission. The 535is was essentially a spoilered version of the 535i with revised suspension.
