Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This is a California car, purchased new in the Los Angeles Area, and later driven in the Monterey Bay region. It is in good to very good overall condition, with minor body imperfections. The interior is original except for the re-upholstered drivers seat, which is not genuine BMW vinyl. Almost all gauges and power accessories function as they should, including power windows, power mirrors, power seats, and power locks. The sun roof does not open, and the odometer ceased working last year at 256,000."

You are bidding on a 1985 BMW 524TD 4-door Sedan.

Although considered to be the first modern and relatively quiet diesel automobile,

only 1600 were sold in the United States when offered in 1985 & 1986.

The car is Alpine white with a black vinyl interior.

It has all of the standard power features of the E28 series,

and they all work except for the sunroof and the headrest adjustment (they never work).

The sunroof has some rust on the edge from being parked close to the ocean,

and needs repair or replacement.

It is a 100% California car from Los Angeles, then Monterey Bay,

and recently the San Francisco Bay Area.

It recently overheated, and blew out the coolant.

It starts and runs, but cannot be driven any distance.

My mechanic and others diagnose it as a common head gasket failure.

Since I have owned it, I have had the following repairs and maintenance performed,

and have most of the service records:

Valve adjustment, replace cracked valve cover, replace cooling hoses and connectors,

rebuild entire air conditioning system including compressor and condenser,

replace all belts, drain and refill transmission fluid,repair door locks and windows as needed,

and install custom carpeted floor mats.

This is a car that is worth restoring, it has been a pleasure to drive,

but like any 28 year old car, it needs continued repairs and maintenance.

In good running condition, I estimate it to be worth at least $3000.

Needing major engine work, I am offering it for $1500 or best offer.

Wedding couple celebrates nuptials in the parking lot with donuts

Sat, 21 Dec 2013

Weddings are often joyous, fun-filled occasions full of revelry and some serious celebrating. And while we appreciate the fact that a couple is being joined together, we have a feeling a video like this could have very easily ruined said couple's big day.
It stars a bride, a groom and a BMW M3. But rather than the couple being in the car and laying down some rubber, the E46 M3 is doing donuts around the couple. We shouldn't have to explain why this is a bad idea - even if the driver is competent, this could have gone wrong pretty easily. Still, it didn't, and the end result is pretty cool.
Take a look below and let us know what you think in Comments.

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes

Tue, Jan 6 2015

The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"

BMW planning Zhi Nuo Chinese sub-brand, may export models

Sat, 06 Apr 2013

Automakers continue to pour big money into the developing market that is China, and new sub-brands born of joint ventures with domestic partners crop up on what seems like a weekly basis. The latest? According to reports, BMW and its Chinese ally Brilliance are forming a new sub-brand called Zhi Nuo ("The Promise") that will likely rely on existing or older BMW products as a basis for new models.
Previous reports had indicated that the sub-brand could build its offerings based on an older 3 Series model (presumably the E90 series), but newer rumors have the X1 crossover (shown) factoring in. The Zhi Nuo brand could receive its official unveiling as soon as later this month at the Shanghai Motor Show.
Perhaps most interestingly, Automotive News Europe reports that the automaker's ambitions for Zhi Nuo may extend beyond China's borders. It's not clear what markets BMW may be eying, but executives admit the company hasn't ruled out Europe.
