Hi!

I'm sorry to let this beauty go but you sometimes have to make choices in life. This one is a perfect example of 90's german over-engineering.

This is a BMW 535i 1990 and it is as clean as you can get. There is no way someone could find a cleaner unit. I've looked for 6 years before finding this beauty.

It comes with BMW's famous durable engine, M30B35 3.4L inline 6. It has 218 bhp and 225 lb-ft torque. Right now it has 82 000 miles or 128 000 km.

This is a 3 owner car, including me. First owner had it for 3 years then sold it to an old man in 1993 who kept it in his garage and only drove it in the summer. The old man cherished it until he passed away two years ago. I had been looking for another unit since a couple of years and I knew the man. When he passed away, I waited of couple of months and then contacted his son to know if they wanted to let it go. They said no. Then, last summer, they called me and said they had to. I was sorry for their loss but SO MUCH happy to get this e34! Unfortunately, things change sometimes in a bad way and I'm in no position to keep it. I'm really sorry about it and I hope next owner will appreciate it as much as I did.

Car is in storage right now in a heated garage. I will get it out to take more pictures as soon as weather permit it. Those pictures were taken last november. Car is in near perfect condition.

It has power everything, airbag, original paint, black leather interior, like-new brakes, like-new tires, like-new suspension, etc. As I said, excellent condition.

It comes with an automatic transmission. I know, it sucks. But I purchased another complete 535i last year to do the swap. I will let it go at no cost to the buyer so they can enjoy it! I can even put you in contact with a very knowledgeable BMW guy that could help you with this easy manual conversion. If you want to keep it automatic, no problem. Transmission shift GREAT! No slippeage, no hard shifts. Smooth and slick!

When I purchased the car, I changed air filter, fuel filter, a couple bulbs, motor oil, power steering oil, tranny oil, coolant, thermostat, water pump, spark plugs, belts, and other small things that keeps a great car running great. I also did have the valves adjusted because the car had been sitting for a complete year without running much. I drove it for 4 months and 8 000 km. Great driver's car!

Wheels are perfect. There is no rust on the car excepted for what is mentionned a little further. Engine bay is clean. Trunk is clean. Car was never involved in an accident.

Now, the little things that are not as great (I will post pictures as soon as someone asks for it!!):

-Head liner is a little slack in the back. Easy fix.
-Since the last owner was an 'old papa, it still smells like my gran'pa. Not as bad as when I purchased it, but still a little.
-There is a little rust spot (as big as a nickel) on the gas gap. Nothing big. I was told it was quite normal for the original part to do that. It was corrected on the replacement part.
-The car is 23 years old. I repeat; the car is 23 years old! Sure, there may be some small scuffs or blemishes or whatever tiny thing. But I can tell you it is REALLLLLLLY CLEAN!
-Car has A/C but I never had to use it so maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.

Now, rules for this auction:

-This is a no reserve price auction. However, car is also for sale locally (or will be within 48 hours). I reserve the right to end this auction anytime. There is also a buy it now price of 5 600$.
-If you seriously want to buy this car, please note I will need a 500$ deposit in the next 24 hours. If you change your mind, I can reimburse you but I hope you'll have a really solid reason for wasting my precious time and yours!
-If you want to come and see it, I will gladly help you setup your trip here.
-If you are out of Canada, I will gladly help you to export it. It is quite easy for a 1990 car to be exported to the US.
-If you need me to ship the car, I will gladly help you to do it. However, it is at your full expense. From what I'm told, it's about 600$ to 900$ to ship a car from Montreal to Vancouver and it is 5000km (3000 miles). Not too bad!
-I can also drive it anywhere to Quebec, Montreal or Toronto for around 300$.
-Of course, car is sold without any warranty of any kind, other than the fact I'm sure you will enjoy this car if you have been reading this far!

Thanks for your interest and I will answer questions within an hour maximum!

BMW to unveil X4 in March

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

It's been about half a year since BMW unveiled the X4 concept in Shanghai. But if you've been waiting for news on when it will reach production, the latest intel indicates it'll be announced next March.
Just when in March? That's the strange part. Inautonews reports having been told by BMW that the new X4 will be announced on March 14. So, the Geneva Motor Show, then? Not quite: although that show will still be going on then, the doors open to journalists like us on March 4, not 14. So either someone has got some details mixed up, or BMW - for some reason - is planning on waiting until after Geneva to reveal the production X4.
Whenever it does, we'll be looking at a slantback version of the X3, much like BMW did with the X5 and X6, giving Bavaria a rival to the Range Rover Evoque and Porsche Macan.

BMW i3 starts near $35,000; NA first deliveries January 2014

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

While in Germany at the first early pre-production drives of the hotly anticipated BMW i3, BMW people finally hinted at a price ballpark. Numbers being tossed around by pundits have actually been pretty close to what BMW is discussing internally - between $35,000 and just over $40,000. We have been assured now that the base price, should one choose to buy and not lease in the Euro zone, is just over 35,000 euro, with some big taxes included in that price. In the US, the starting price for the fully EV plug-in version should be $34,500 or right thereabouts. In addition to new pricing, we've also gotten our best-yet look at the i3, with the freshly uncovered spy shots you see here.
European deliveries begin in November of this year for the fully electric version of the rear-wheel-drive i3 with 168-horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The e-motor mounted over the rear axle is supplied with energy by the 22-kWh lithium-ion battery pallet under the passenger compartment. Recharging happens in any of three ways: public or personal garage plug-in charge station (garage version not included in the price), the onboard system's Pro Eco mode that adds resistance to the drivetrain in a type of rolling brake energy recuperation, or through the normal brake energy and off-throttle coasting regeneration more common to EVs. Range on a full charge of this drivetrain is said to be upwards of 100 miles under hyper-miling conditions.
Perhaps the best bit of news is that the alternative, range-extending, two-cylinder 600cc engine supplied by BMW Motorrad for the hybrid version of the i3 - mounted in the rear together with the e-motor - will add only 2,000 euros in Europe and about $2,000 in the US. This is a range-doubling solution that could have brought a much higher price gouge, so thank you, BMW. The hybrid e-drive i3 version arrives a couple months after the full-EV launch version. Remember that, unlike the very similar system for the Chevrolet Volt, the system in the i3 supplies no mechanical torque to the driven axle and is only used as a generator (a system BMW first used last year in the 1 Series-based Active ). The US is seen as the clear number one market for the i3.

Are you a BMW M4 GTS track car in disguise?

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

BMW is always happy to extract a little bit more gumption out of its M cars, just look at the latest 30th anniversary M5 or even the earlier CSL variants of the M3 for proof. Now, It looks like we might be getting the first glimpse of an even hotter M4, and it's wearing very interesting livery.
Our spies recently shot this M4 that could preview a future GTS version. It's all done up in MotoGP decals, but that might just be a ruse. This car sports a camouflaged lower air dam and rear wing, but those parts don't appear to be from an actual series safety car. The chin spoiler seems larger, and the rear wing is completely different. You can also spot an obvious Recaro logo on the driver's seat in one of the photos. Plus, the BMW emblem is removed at the back.
The disguised changes and odd choice of decals make this prototype incredibly weird. A BMW exec said at the beginning of the year that there were "no plans whatsoever to make a lighter, harder version just yet," of the M3 or M4, despite earlier rumors to the contrary. Check out the gallery to see what you think this is.
