1985 BMW 535i (E28) I have owned this car for 4 years and have invested WAY WAYYY more than my starting price.  Hate to sell, it’s an awesome driving  and looking car that is a pleasure to own and show. I honestly love looking at this car sitting in the garage or anywhere , it has a great stance and look to it. It gets tons and tons of compliments. You'd be surprised how many people think its an M5 which of course was only available in black / 1988...I have to explain that all the time!  I just bought a bigger car for the family so this needs to go to another loving home. I'm roughly the 4th owner, it originally came from Chicago, that owner ( older lady) blew the head gasket where it received an E34 motor replacement from a respectable shop ( no documents).  I purchased the car from a friend who owns several vintage BMW M3's and M6's. He didn’t spare any expense when it came to maintenance . I also didn't spare any expense with the intentions of keeping it forever. It has always been kept indoors and not driven winters. Its been in climate controlled storage the last 8 years at least. It runs and drives great with little or no issues.

Body was in great shape before respray, the following is what I can tell you about the cars original paint:  RF fender was resprayed at some point, rest of the car looked to have the original paint. Driver door had a dent which was pulled, rear antenna hole was welded up ( hidden antenna under dash now).  There was no rust found or filled! The front bumper had been been pushed over slightly to the left, I had the frame rails/ bumper mounts put on a frame rack to make sure it was very straight. There was no exterior body damage . Front and rear spoilers were stripped and flexible primer used ( unsure of brand but looks like pfab?) Jambs still have original paint, some very minor crusty parts under the hood and trunk that have been treated. Battery box is in poor shape with rust, had full intentions to repair it but is completely functional and not visible as is now. Looks very good, great quality. (over $6k invested in paint job alone)
  • Great Car overall, runs, drives and looks excellent.
  • I encourage inspections! 15 minutes from Louisville international airport (SDF). There is a loading dock available at my work, so I can ship overseas container. I do have several national and international shippers I trust and will be happy to pass along info if needed.
  • Clean and Clear KY title in my name.
  • For Sale locally, auction may end early. NO RESERVE! Contact me for more info or pictures, thanks for looking!

2015 BMW M3 and M4 priced at $62,000 and $64,200

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

When the BMW M3 and M4 debuted on Monday at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, it was to much fanfare and excitement. At that time, though, we were missing a big piece of the M3/M4 puzzle - the price.
According to a report from our roundel-obsessed friends at Bimmerfest, the four-door M3 will star at $62,000, while the M4 Coupe is priced at $64,200. Those prices do not include a $925 destination charge. That's a pretty significant jump over the $56,275 starting price of the old M3 Sedan and $59,275 starting price of the last M3 Coupe, although we'd argue that these cars should easily outpace their V8 counterparts in terms of overall performance. In other news, a six-speed manual will come standard, while the seven-speed M DCT will be an optional extra.
Bimmerfest also came up with a timeline for the M3 and M4's arrival. We should expect the official announcement of pricing, along with the full order guides, released near the end of this month or in early February. Production will kick off in March, while customers will be able to begin placing orders in late April. We'll get our first crack at both cars in June, with deliveries beginning later that month.

2013 BMW M6 Coupe

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

The Act And The Exclamation
The 2013 BMW M6 is a rolling obscenity - one that begins with the capital letter "F." It is both the act and the exclamation, the curse and the encouragement. It courts no logic. It is all want and no need, and it is unbecoming of the BMW roundel. Whereas the brand's products once strove to unite man and machine in a duet of blissful performance, the M6 seems built solely to stand between the driver and the road. You are very clearly in its way every second you're behind the wheel, slowing it down and generally being the Monday morning to its two-day trance festival. It's clear this car is very fast, but it has no interest in making you fast in the way that the M3 or even the M5 are wont to do.
But somehow, all that doesn't stop the car from stoking every last lick of lust in your gut. A 560-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 will do that for you.

BMW recalling all 2000-06 3 Series models over airbags in US, 1.6M globally

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

We just can't seem to get away from recalls involving the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata. There are already millions of vehicles in need of repair as a result of these ever-expanding campaigns, and BMW is adding another 1.6 million worldwide. The Bavarian automaker is issuing a recall for certain 3 Series models, including 574,000 of them in the US, to replace the passenger-side, front airbag inflator.
Specifically, the campaign covers 3 Series models from the 2000 through 2006 model years built between May 1999 and August 2006. "It's only the E46" generation of cars that are affected, which are now two model revisions old, according to BMW of North America spokesperson Matt Russell, speaking to Autoblog.
These models suffer the same problem as the rest of the vehicles with the faulty inflators. It's possible for the part to rupture during airbag deployment and possibly spray shrapnel at the occupant. However, according to BMW, the automaker isn't aware of any actual cases of this happening in any of its vehicles.
