Selling dirt cheap because I just got laid off from my job!
Compare my price to the other BMWs right here on eBay. Most BMWs this cheap are parts cars, flood cars, salvage cars, major problems, ect.
Starting price is only $2000!
Highest bid gets the car!
This is a 1990 BMW 525i (a.k.a. E34).
What a good looking body style!
I love this car & hate to sell it, but that's life....
Previous owner was an 82 year old retired cop who loved this car just as much as I do. Both of us have babied this car to the best of our abilities.
Body is not too bad. Not perfect, but totally presentable for a 23 year old car.
What little rust there is can hardly be seen. Drivers door is the worst part of the body.
Drivers door has small rust at the bottom edge & the paint is peeling at the molding. Vary bottom of fenders has some rust but still intact. Paint has typical chips and scratches. Passenger fender has a bit of a dent at the top.
Overall the body isn't bad for the age of the car. It is very presentable the way it is. From 10 feet away the car looks nice. I've had a lot of compliments on this car!
Interior is in surprisingly good condition. Other than no radio, there's not much to tell about the condition of the interior. As expected with a BMW, the cars has a lot of toys.
Photos can tell you cosmetic condition better than I can, so take a good look to judge for yourself.
The only needed mechanical repairs that I know of:
Drivers side rear strut mount is squeaking (I have a new one, just needs installed).
Water pump needs replaced (I have found a brand new one right here on eBay for $28). The car has not overheated on me, but probably would if left running long enough.
Muffler has a small hole in it (car already has a universal muffler, so I know there is no need to buy a high priced OEM muffler when a cheapie will fit this car).
There is a little electric motor in the dash which controls a duct flapper, it is making some noise, but not all the time.
There is no radio.
Car has a set of custom wheels on it. Much better styling than stock wheels in my opinion!
Work I've done since I've owned the car:
Fan clutch
Both front passenger side control arms
2 temp sensors
Idle control valve
Flushed cooling system
Replaced 1 tire.
Replaced air filter box.
Once the water pump is replaced I would consider this to be a reliable car. Wouldn't hesitate to use it as a daily driver.
I encourage anyone who is interested in this car to call me at 330-319-5138 to discuss the car, but please, serious buyers only.
If you would like to see the car in person, call me to set up an appointment.
I can not deliver the car. Transport is up to the buyer. I can store the car free of charge for up to 30 days to allow ample time for the buyer to make transport arangements.
A **non refundable** deposit of $500 is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction. Pay Pal works best for the deposit. If you can not do Pay Pal, call me to discuss your options.
Final payment is due IN FULL within 7 days of the end of the auction. Final payment can be paid in cash, in person when picking up the car, but is still due within 7 days. If payment is not received within 7 days the car will be relisted, or offered to the next highest bidder. I will accept checks and money orders, but keep in mind... I RETAIN POSSESION OF THE CAR, AND EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAR, UNTILL ALL PAYMENTS HAVE CLEARED MY BANK, regardless of how long the bank takes to process the payment. In the past, the bank has taken as long as 10 days to process an out of state check.
This car is located in Ravenna, Ohio 44266. Ravenna is about 1/2 way between Akron & Youngstown, in N. E. Ohio. Close to Cleveland & PA.
A note to non USA buyers: All payments must be in USA funds via Pay Pal. I can not help with international shipping or customs.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Just like all the cars I've ever sold, this car is to be sold AS - IS.

Company car offers in decline, but not at The Cheesecake Factory [w/poll]
Sat, 22 Jun 2013As businesses look to keep high-level employees happy, it seems that use of company cars can still be an effective method, although fewer companies are employing it. According to Businessweek, only about 25 percent of companies offer company vehicles as a perk, while less than half give allowances for employees to use their personal vehicles for work purposes.
The report says that one business still in the practice of handing out company cars is The Cheesecake Factory, which offers the benefit to top managers. And we're not talking about some econobox, either. The article indicates the restaurant chain hands out BMWs on a three-year basis - although the company's own report says that the type of vehicle "varies with the executive's level."
Still, we mostly agree with the article's conclusion that money is the best way to keep employees or attract new ones, even if a corporate car is a big perk. What do you think? Let us know, in the poll below, whether a company car could sway you to work for a certain company (not just the Cheesecake factory, where the "Glamburgers" portion of the menu alone is enough to keep a guy hanging around).
BMW revisits its 8 Series
Thu, 04 Jul 2013So why would BMW choose July 2 to release a retrospective on the 8 Series? Could it have something to do with the recent unveiling of the Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe concept, another sleek, B-pillarless V12 two-door, at this year's Villa d'Este? We have no idea, but the timing is likely coincidental.
This three-minute look at the 8 Series talks to Niels Hamann, who was smitten with the long-hooded coupe when it appeared in 1989 and finally bought one in 2004. Hamann also happens to be a project manager at BMW, and that came in handy when he wrote a book detailing every aspect of what was BMW's flagship for ten years but to the chagrin of many only managed one generation.
While we wait for the next clue about the Gran Lusso - 8 Series connection, check out the video below.
In Japan, you can buy your a BMW i3 on Amazon [UPDATE2]
Tue, Apr 7 2015UPDATE: The story's been updated to include a response from a BMW spokesman. UPDATE2: The story's been updated to include a response from a BMW's Germany headquarters. We love the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" section for this one. Sleeping bags, cotton T-Shirts and a BMW i3 plug-in vehicle. That's your average Amazon shopping cart, right? It could be in Japan, where the plug-in car is being sold to potential customers online. The online retailer, long the largest in the US, is posting listings of the i3 on its Japanese site, notes Yahoo News, and both the standard electric i3 and the one with the gas-powered range extender are available. There are almost 50 dealers in Japan that can sell the i3, the German automaker's first production plug-in vehicle, but BMW appears to be trying to extend its distribution reach a little further. Of course, it's not a simple point-and-click situation, as prospective customers who order the vehicle online will apparently get a follow-up phone call from a BMW representative asking for proof of both access to a charging station as well as a parking spot. "It's become a tradition that the BMW Group breaks new ground with BMW i and that also goes for the way the vehicles are sold, with several different sales channels being tested and used," a representative with BMW's Germany headquarters wrote in an e-mail sent to AutoblogGreen. "In Japan, a one-off test project, designed only for that market – has seen BMW i3 models offered via Amazon. The delivery and customer service of these vehicles is, of course, handled by authorized BMW i dealers in Japan." BMW started selling the i3 in the US last year, moving about 6,100 units in 2014 and almost 2,700 through the first quarter of this year.
