1980 Bmw 528i 5-speed Limited Slip 63k Miles Sunroof M535i Alloy Silver No Res. on 2040-cars
Gainesville, Georgia, United States
|
This auction is for
an extremely rare 5 speed manual limited slip differential 1980 BMW
528i project car. This car does need some work before putting it back on the
road, so it should be towed away, not driven any long distances. First off this
is a great low mileage project car that does not need that much to make it
awesome. I purchased it about two years ago and I have done a lot of repairs to
it, to get it roadworthy again. The car does currently run and starts right up
but I believe one of the valves is slightly bent producing a clicking noise in
the engine. I do have the original title for the car that has been
written out to me in the buyers section, but I never titled the
car because in Georgia cars more than 25 years old don't require
titles. The original title and a Bill of Sale will be provided to new owner. There is very little rust on this car, there were a few spots, but I welded in new steel in those areas to seal everything up. I installed new brembo front brake rotors, new pads, and a new caliper as well. The transmission shift well, and the car actually handles pretty good. The tires all have good tread but they are getting old and starting to crack a bit. The interior is in good shape, but much of the seat stuffing foam has deteriorated as is common on these cars.There is only one small crack on the dash and most of the real wood trim looks good. The car does only have 63,000 miles on it. The sunroof works and some of the windows, but because the car has sat for so long some of the switches are not functional, This will need to be gone through to check connections, etc. to get everything working 100%, but should be minor problems as no wires are cut or anything like that. The body overall looks great, though there are some small dents and chips here and then, and on the trunk lid someone ruined the clear coat be putting brake fluid on it. Otherwise the paint shines great and is relatively clear. This would not be a show car but it is good driver quality paint. The major problem with the car is with the engine, I had been re-doing most of the engine area, starting with a rebuilt head. Unfortunately my machine shop failed to notice what I assume is a slightly bent valve. And now once we put it all back together the engine has a clicking noise in one cylinder. The engine otherwise runs good and does not overheat. Here is a list of upgraded parts in the engine bay. 1. Rebuilt head with
modified rocker arms, stronger than factory....unfortunately one slightly bent
valve will need to be replaced. 2. Silicone hoses 3. 2002tii intake
runners for increased power 4. Sandblasted valve
cover and intake repainted silver 5. New Spark plug wires,
distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs 6. New belts 7. New exhaust studs I am sure there are a
lot of other things I am forgetting... Again this will make a great project for someone, and I have spent much more than I am trying to sell it for. I just don't have time to keep going on this one. I had intened to make it into an M535i replica, maybe the next guy or gal... I will include many spare parts with the car as well, and I have some rare performance parts that I will sell separately, like a Kamei front spoiler, an exhaust header, and 15 inch BMW deep dish alloy wheels. Let me know if you have any interest in those as well. Lastly, this is not a perfect car but it is far from a parts car as well, with a little work this could be a reliable driver or an awesome performance sedan...Thanks for bidding! There is no battery with this car, if you do not have one with you I can put one of mine in to load it up, but it is not included with this sale, if shipping I can install a new one for you at your cost for the new battery. |

2014 BMW X5 recalled over faulty child-safety locks
Tue, 27 May 2014BMW is set to recall some 6,400 of its new-for-2014 X5 SUVs built between December 12, 2013 and March 10, 2014 due to concerns that the child safety locks, if set, might deactivate without warning. The problem affects only those vehicles with the automatic soft-closing option.
According to the bulletin issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the lock mechanism on the rear doors "may not have been manufactured to correct tolerances," meaning the safety locks could disengage with a simple pull of the door handle. Basically, with a pair of tugs, the rear doors could be opened from the inside, regardless of child safety locks.
BMW is in the process of notifying owners of affected vehicles. Any necessary repairs will be conducted free of charge. Take a look below for the official press release from NHTSA.
2014 BMW X5 doesn't upset the formula
Wed, 29 May 2013BMW has unveiled the 2014 X5, and fans of the company's CUV will find plenty familiar in the machine. The biggest change to the recipe comes in the form of the X5 sDrive35i, which is the first rear-wheel drive version of the high-riding five-door to date. Buyers will, of course, continue to be able to opt for all-wheel drive, and both models will get their thrust from a 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine. That powerplant makes 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. BMW says the combination is good enough to get the SUV to 60 miles per hour in around 6.2 seconds.
Those who require more thrust can step up to the more potent X5 xDrive50i with its twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine. Drivers get to enjoy an extra 45 hp over the previous model, with final output up to 445 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic of its own, the engine can hustle the big X5 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.
The 2014 BMW xDrive35d continues to offer diesel power, though output has dropped 10 horsepower to 255 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. Even so, BMW says the X5 diesel will be just as quick or quicker than the 2013 model. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
2019 BMW X7 vs luxury SUV rivals: Comparing specs and photos
Wed, Oct 17 2018Today we get our first-ever look at the first-ever 2019 BMW X7 crossover. We've actually already had our first-ever drive in an X7 Prototype. And so, we thought it appropriate to follow that up today with the first-ever X7 comparison of specs between BMW's first-ever three-row crossover with legitimate room for seven and its many high-dollar competitors. On paper, the 2019 X7 definitely seems to most closely align with the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. Their similar dimensions, interior space, engine choices and price would certainly imply where BMW placed the target when developing X7. We used those same elements to determine three-row vehicles likely to be cross-shopped or that should be cross-shopped. These include the Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo XC90 and Lincoln Navigator. Yes, the latter is a truck-based SUV as opposed to a crossover, but tell that to all the people lining out the door at the local Lincoln emporium. They do not care, and neither shall we. We also included the 2019 BMW X5, which was completely redesigned for this year and therefore not the first-ever. That makes it less appealing? Either way, lining the new X5 up with the SUV that leapfrogs it atop BMW's SUV hierarchy should provide a good idea of just how much more you get by going up a model number. Engines and model lineup Again, the X7 aligns closest with the GLS, offering a base six-cylinder in its xDrive40i model and an upgrade turbo V8 in the xDrive50i. The Mercedes engines have greater output, but the GLS still accelerates slower than the BMW. As the 2019 X5 offers the exact same engines, we would also expect the X7's fuel economy to be superior to the GLS once its estimates are announced. It should be noted, though, that the GLS offers a high-powered AMG model whereas we anticipate the X7 to offer a plug-in hybrid model comparable to the X5 upcoming xDrive45e model. The other luxury SUVs diverge in their engine choices and model lineup. The Audi Q7 offers a base turbocharged four-cylinder, as does the Volvo XC90 in its T5 model, which we left out of the above chart entirely for space reasons. That the Q7 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 gets the same fuel economy estimates as the four-cylinder is proof positive that engine is purely around for its lower base price.
