A 2008 BMW 535xi Sports Wagon has been put up for auction with no reserve price. The car is being sold through a partner of the Bring a Trailer platform on the owner's behalf, and the buyer will receive the vehicle on the condition that the winning bid is determined without any lower limit.
Under the hood is a twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 3.0 liters. The factory output is 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. It works in tandem with a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The car came from the factory with rear air suspension. The odometer shows about 110,000 miles.
The body is finished in Monaco Blue metallic, and the interior is trimmed in cream-beige leather. The equipment includes the Sport, Premium and Cold Weather packages. The car is registered in California, and the title is clean and issued in the name of the current owner.
The current owner bought the wagon on Bring a Trailer in August 2024. During his ownership, the mileage has increased by roughly six thousand miles. According to the Carfax report, in October 2019 the car received minor damage to its front end. The hood and front bumper cover were repainted before the current owner purchased it. The window tint was applied during his ownership.
A significant share of the maintenance work was done in recent years. In October 2023, the turbochargers, hoses and the boost control solenoid valve were replaced, along with the CV joint boots and air springs. In 2022, the VANOS solenoids, water pump, battery, engine mounts and track rod bushings were replaced. In July 2021, a new valve cover gasket was installed. In 2024, the DMTL pump, alternator and battery were replaced. In May 2025, the brake fluid was changed. The right rear window received a new regulator for the sale. As of September, according to the records, the oil filter housing, oil cooler hoses and drive belt were replaced.
The seller notes scratches on the windshield and paint imperfections that are visible in the photographs. The wheels show signs of curb contact, and the left rear tire has sidewall damage. The car is fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires. The package includes spare fluids and filters, window seals, service booklets, a tool kit, a first-aid kit and the Carfax report. The extent of the turbocharger work is as stated by the seller and has not been confirmed by an independent inspection.
