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.

5 speed Manual
91,394 miles
Original window sticker, manuals, etc.
Sunroof
Leather, 5 position power seats (works good) Good condition. Dash does have a straight crack right above the steering wheel. Otherwise the interior looks absolutely fantastic.
E34 motor swap done 5 years ago @ professional BMW shop in Chicago ( motor has approximately 120k miles). Unfortunately no paperwork. Runs awesome, no leaks.
Recent Intake manifold gasket and Fuel injection o-ring work due to vacuum leak ( $500).
Recent power steering pump and hoses ($2k )
Tires Bridgestone Potenza re760 sport 225/50r16 installed 2/18/ 13 ( approx 2k miles) ($500)on new 16 BBS wheels from the BMW dealer.
BAV auto suspension kit ( springs and Bilstien shocks) 3/22/12 ($639)
New condenser and retro fit A/C on 9/18/12. A/C still blows cold. ($800)
Brake master cylinder , 4 new calipers, pads, hoses, speed sensor etc. brakes all redone 4/5/11 ($500+)
Fan and fan clutch 4/6/11
New Alpine Bluetooth digital media receiver, 12” sub, Alpine 250 w amp, new alpine 4x6 speakers ( did not cut anything!!) All professionally installed 8/13/13 Have documents ($700)
Paint job ( original color) done 5/22/12. Professionally done in Sikkens bc/cc. New moldings and badges. Chrome has been sprayed with semi-gloss black. Bumpers, kidneys and tail lamp surrounds painted in a charcoal grey bc/cc. 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!

Jay Leno puts focus on some retro-inspired BMW bikes

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Jay Leno puts eight wheels on display this week for Jay Leno's Garage from a quartet of retro-inspired BMW motorcycles. They are the creations of husband and wife team Larry and Carol Romestant, who build each one in their home garage.
Larry is a former aerospace engineer who loves BMW bikes, especially the K models. Now, he's combining his passion with a real talent for fabrication to build his own cycles with his wife. With Larry and Carol the only ones working on these projects, it takes them six to nine months to build each one. In addition to the old-school looks, the motorcycles are supposed to be a bit more user friendly than stock. For example, one of them ditches the standard five-speed gearbox in favor of a six-speed unit to be a little more comfy when cruising at high speeds.
Since there isn't enough time to take all four of them for a ride, Jay picks his favorite to test out on the open road. Scroll down to see which one he chooses.

BMW 2 Series Active Tourer getting third row

Sat, 23 Aug 2014

In what enthusiasts will likely see as a continued attempt to dilute the BMW brand, the German manufacturer is testing a three-row variant of its already controversial 2 Series Active Tourer. Our trusty spy photographers captured images of the new, front-drive MPV testing on the roads of Europe.
The easiest way to ID this more passenger friendly 2er is its slightly longer length, which will allow it to accommodate seven people in total. As our spies point out, this should make the 2AT an attractive proposition for European taxi companies. Yep, BMW built a car that will be praised by taxi drivers. On top of the extra seats, the rear overhang appears larger as well, which should mean extra cargo space.
This, of course, is not the first time we've captured images of a new 2AT variant undergoing testing. Back in May, we spotted a hybrid-powered variant out for a drive.

Watch the BMW M4 drift around an aircraft carrier

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

A Nimitz-class American aircraft carrier is big. Really, really big. After all, it has to be, in order to launch and recover a wide array of military aircraft. But when it's not catapulting F/A-18 Super Hornets and E-2 Hawkeyes into the wild blue yonder, what exactly can you use its 1,040-foot long flight deck for? Well, BMW seems to have an idea.
Now, obviously BMW hasn't paid Uncle Sam to convert the deck of the USS John C. Stennis into a racetrack (but what an idea!). That doesn't make this video of an Austin Yellow M4 slipping and sliding its way around the carrier deck any less entertaining. The video itself comes, weirdly considering the US aircraft carrier, from BMW of Canada, and we aren't really sure what the point of it is. There's no voiceover, or title or closing screens to lend the scene any context, and it seems unlikely that this sort of seemingly high-dollar video wouldn't be done sheerly for giggles. Whatever the reason for its existence, it's worth a watch.
Scroll down and have a look.
