1980 Bmw 528i 5-speed Limited Slip 63k Miles Sunroof M535i Alloy Silver No Res. on 2040-cars
Year:1980
Mileage:63000
Location:
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. |

BMW M4 pitted against i8 in drag race
Fri, Jan 2 2015Germany's Auto Bild has set up a very intriguing drag race to settle not just an inter-brand rivalry within BMW but a question of the old school versus the latest tech. The BMW M4 is a leader among the traditional sports coupes with a turbocharged inline-six spinning the rear wheels, but the M has to tackle the cutting-edge i8 with its turbocharged three-cylinder augmented with electric drive. See what happens when they go head to head. Even on paper, the race looks quite close. The i8 weighs about 300 pounds less than the M4 and also slightly nudges it out on net torque at 420 pound-feet versus 406 lb-ft. Also in some shots, the pavement looks just a little bit damp here, which would benefit the i8's all-wheel drive setup. However, the M-car has a healthy horsepower advantage with 425 hp against the hybrid's 357 hp. The race commences after a short introduction. Watch and see whether the traditional tech or latest layout wins the day.

This family has a trio of beautiful BMW E28 5 Series
Tue, Jan 6 2015The Caccavo family is not like yours. They're actually far, far cooler. Rather than dad driving a pickup, mom piloting a crossover and son getting about in a clapped-out compact, each member of the family has their very own second-generation BMW 5 Series. Father Dean's M5, mom DonnaRae's 528e and son Austin's 535is were, remarkably, all purchased for under $10,000, after the family made a maximum-price rule for its cars. The E28 obsession all started innocently enough, with Dean's M5. Shortly after that, DonnaRae snapped up the 535is. When it came time to buy a car, his parents told him he'd need to get a job and make the purchase on his own. He agreed, under one condition – that he was able to buy his mom's 535is. Once the deal was said and done, DonnaRae found she'd acquired the E28 bug, and promptly bought herself the 528e. Petrolicious has the entire story on the Caccavos and their E28s, available in its latest installment. Check it out.
2014 BMW 5 Series starts at $50,425* and gets a new diesel, 5 Series GT starts at $60,925* [w/video]
Sun, 19 May 2013BMW itself says it is making "Precise modifications to the design" of the facelifted, sixth-generation 5 Series, and this is the result. The 2014 5 Series will come in four flavors - sedan, Touring, Gran Turismo and ActiveHybrid 5 - the biggest news probably the addition of a diesel engine for the US market.
When they go on sale in August, the 528i sedan will start at $50,425, a $1,700 increase over the 2013 model, and if you want xDrive that adds $2,300 to the price across the model range. The 535d employs a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six-cylinder diesel with 255 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque and starts at $56,025. BMW portends "substantial fuel efficiency gains over its gasoline-fueled counterpart," but the exact numbers won't come until closer to the on-sale date. The $64,825, top-dog 550i holds pat with 4.4-liter, twin turbo V8, with output upped to 445 hp and 480 lb-ft - an increase of 45 hp and 30 lb-ft of torque. The outputs haven't changed on the twin-turbo four-cylinder in the 528 nor the 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine in the 535, and *all prices include the $925 destination charge. The engines are also fitted with a coasting mode that uncouples the powertrain when rolling downhill.
Outside there are new "contour lines" for the grille and air intakes, slimmer taillights and elements that accentuate the car's width - as if that were necessary. Xenon adaptive headlights will be standard along with side indicator lights on the rearview mirrors, the options list adds LED headlights, the Luxury Line and Modern Line packages. The former package adds chrome trim to certain exterior elements, the latter adds matte chrome trim.
