This example appears to be a nice looking E28 offered for a decent price and has bonus points for the preferred manual gearbox.   Find this 1987 BMW 535is offered for $5,800 in Chino, CA via hemmings.com.  Tip from BP.

It's Medicinal...Man: 1987 BMW 535is

We all know that guy (or gal) who is obsessed with BMWs. He is always talking about one, buying one, selling one or even trying to build his own.  It becomes an all consuming passion and he (or she) has probably lost a few jobs over one.  You could call him (or her) an addict...but I think that would be to trivialize the plight of people with real chemical addiction problems.  But I'd suggest a good round of Bimmers Anonymous for this next guy.  Find this 1987 BMW 535is offered for $2000 in Rosamond, CA via craigslist.

5k: Not One Iota: 1988 BMW 535is

The expression "it makes not one iota of difference" comes from the ninth letter in the Greek alphabet, but not from the Matthew 5:18 quote that vocabulary.com or wikipedia references.  The idiom actually comes from the ancient Greek homoousios (homo=same, ousios=substance) and its application in the Nicene Creed.  The Trinitarians argued the Christ and God were of one substance (homoousios ), Arian heretics claimed that he was different (heteroousios) and a group of Semi-Arians claimed they were of similar (homoiousios) substance.  The words homoousios and homoiousios may have been separated by only one iota, but that small distinction formed a key part of the early Church foundation during the first few centuries AD and continues to this day.  However, if you lived in the 1980s, the difference between an i and an e on the back of your BMW could make a world of difference, although you might not get banished from your village and subsequently burn in the eternal fires of hell...probably.   Find this 1988 BMW 535is currently bidding for $2,246 reserve-not-met on ebay with 5 days to go, located in La Crescenta, CA.
