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.

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.

BMW details cheaper, sub-M performance cars for young 'brand ambassadors'

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

BMW's M cars are undoubtedly some of the best sport sedans in the world. Unfortunately, their prices put them out of the reach of a huge segment of buyers, many of them young. However, that might change in the near future as BMW launches its M Performance Automobiles performance sub-brand, positioned between its standard cars and the full M models.
Traditionally, M car buyers have been male and in their early-40s, according to Oliver Ganser, product strategy manager for BMW North America, speaking to Automotive News. However with MPA, BMW hopes to find even younger buyers "who will be brand ambassadors and appeal to the real enthusiasts that we have," he said. These new MPA models will see a mild boost in power and handling from off-the-shelf parts, instead of the unique engines and cutting-edge tech from their bigger M brothers.
The M Performance Automobiles line was launched last March at the Geneva Motor Show with high-performance diesel models of the 5 Series, X5 and X6. The first of the MPA models coming Stateside, the M235i, launches in March. We liked it when we drove it in January, but the $44,000 base price is still a bit steep. If it proves to be a success, we will see more of them, and if not, then it'll go down as another failed experiment, like the 318ti hatchback.

BMW M4 Concept bows, takes handoff from M3 Coupe

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Remember how, when the first BMW M4 Concept images leaked earlier today, we told you the official information would be coming later this evening? Well, scratch that. The whole kit and caboodle is now online, meaning all the official details are below, as well as a full gallery of high-res images above.
The replacement for the M3 Coupe, the Concept M4 Coupe shares a number of styling similarities with its dearly departed forbearer. To us, it's kind of like a mishmash of greatest hits from the new 4 Series and the old M3. The 4 Series headlights have grown on us, and the side grilles, which are part of BMW's Air Curtain and Air Breather system, are functional.
The power dome in the hood is smaller than on the M3, but is of a similar shape, while the rear diffuser and exhaust treatment look like they're lifted straight from the old car, aside from being finished in carbon fiber. Speaking of which, the carbon fiber roof sports a new touch, a cool BMW M tri-color that runs the length of the roof on the driver's side. The 20-inch M alloy wheels come in a twin five-spoke design, which has sort of become a calling card of BMW's M cars in recent years. Hiding behind those meaty wheels are M's carbon-ceramic brakes.

BMW shows off 435i Coupe with M Performance parts

Sat, 20 Jul 2013

Greetings from the famous Circuito do Estoril racetrack in Portugal. We're here to put the 2014 BMW 4 Series coupe through its paces, and we'll have the chance to sample the updated 2014 BMW M5 with its new Competition Pack, as well. But before going out for some hot laps, we took a few minutes to check out this 435i Coupe that's been fitted with a full suite of goodies from the BMW M Performance parts catalog.
Starting with the exterior, carbon fiber bits are the most noticeable additions, with the lightweight material added in the form of a massive front splitter, mirror caps and a rear spoiler. Other visual changes include lightweight 20-inch wheels, a blacked-out grille, and unique M Performance side stripes. No, that's not a shadow you see under the 435i's strong side character line - that's a stripe. Yes, we're serious.
Inside (we couldn't get photos of the interior, sorry!), BMW has added its sport steering wheel with race display, unique M floormats, steel pedals, and a whole mess of carbon fiber and Alcantara trim.
