1986 BMW 535i E28 Euro

I have for sale a beautiful example of a fully euro converted BMW 535i E28.
This is the more rare 535i and it is a manual 5 speed.  Most E28s were automatic, and more commonly 528e version.

The story of this car started as a very clean stock example of a US version 535i with a binder of maintenance records
dating back to almost the beginning.  All maintenance records have been recorded and will be included in the purchase.

The car came as alpine white exterior with cardinal red interior featuring comfort seats and power everything.

I am an aircraft mechanic professionally and restore/build older BMWs in my free time.  After purchasing the car in St. Louis
with 240k miles I drove it all the way down to Savannah Ga without any hiccups.  Drove great with tons of power, never overheating,
and great on gas mileage.

Once I got it back to savannah I began to do a complete inspection and even though this had such a great documented history, 
with all its bushings and ball joints recently replaced within the last 30k miles.  I decided to start with a clean slate.

Ordered all new bushings, ball joints, control arms, end links, tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm, subframe connecting arms, and
brand new BC weld in coilovers.  Everything was replaced brand new and alignment done immediately after.

While I was under the car I replaced rear sway bar end links, and fuel filter.

Next I was on the hunt for all REAL OEM BMW euro parts.  After a long time and 1000s of dollars. I was able to get rid of all the
ugly US spec parts, and build a euro converted E28.  The list of parts below is what comes on the car.

-Chrome Euro bumpers
-Euro headlights w/ grills
-Euro headlight washers w/ spray nozzle (motors are present but not hooked up)
-Complete mint condition Taurusrot M5 interior including manual sport seats (not terrible electric)
-Electric seat center console delete
-M5 black headliner
-Euro M5 side mirrors with driver side blindspot in mirror
-Euro OBC computer in german
-Euro overhead computer checker in german
-Euro heating/air conditioning panel in german and Celsius
-Euro fog lamp panel with dedicated front and rear fog light switch and headlight leveling switch (not hooked up)
-Rare Euro rear headrests
-Euro M5 shadowline tail lights (OEM)
-Euro Black trunk liner and toolbox kit with all tools/extra lightbulbs, & microfiber BMW towel.
-Mason Engineering Strut Bar

Other Goodies:
-Full suspension refresh
-New BC Coilovers (<200 miles)
-Stoptech Stainless Steel Brake Lines
-Caliper refresh and painted with high temp silver paint.
-Full boston acoustic sound system with dedicated amps for speakers and amp for 10" subwoofer under rear seat.
-LIFETIME subscription of XM Sirius radio included.
-All Maint records with Car (HUGE BINDER FULL)
-5 or 6 extra oil Filters
-1 extra can of freon
-3 extra engine belts
-20mm spacers on front wheels
-Chrome E36 DS2 wheels with good tires (wheels have some corrosion)
-Original owners manual
-Fresh oil change
-Fresh Brake fluid flush
-Power steering flush and bled.

The gauge cluster is in perfect working condition.  A lot of times the gears go bad in these.  Odometer reads 249k miles. But dont let
that scare you with the amount of maint that has gone into it.  New gaskets everywhere, mustang 5.0 injectors, rebuilt MAF flapper.

I wouldnt be nervous to drive this car anywhere.  I drove it from St. Louis, Missouri all the way to savannah.  I have taken trips to
Jacksonville and back with no problems.  

This is a great running car, in excellent condition, with an excellent service history, not to mention the amount of rare german parts.
I have never received so many compliments on the interior.  Good condition E28 535i's in manual are becoming harder and harder to come by.


Dont miss out on this great opportunity to own a piece of vintage BMW history, the kind you can still work on...

2014 BMW Z4 sDrive35is

Tue, 14 May 2013

The BMW Z3/Z4 roadster has never really had a widespread following because it has either been too humble and small a roadster (albeit with some fun and very low-volume M editions) or it has been - in this E89 generation - too casual an image leader with no racier aspirations. The current 480-hp Z4 GTEs don't count, since they are as stock a Z4 as today's Pamela Anderson is the same blonde actress we knew as Heidi on Home Improvement. You know, sort of like those ever-so-slightly modified Toyota Camry coupes competing in NASCAR.
The ultimate highpoint for the BMW Z roadster franchise was at the very start of its life in the mid-90s, in the James Bond film GoldenEye with Pierce Brosnan. The Stinger missiles that Q's team installed behind the Z3's headlights were never fired, and BMW never even offered this self-defense package as an option. Yet another case of the ol' bait and switch.
And in all these subsequent years of Z3s and Z4s strutting their long-hooded stuff, the little sporting Bimmer could really have used a live Stinger missile or two to spice things up. The current Z4 exists, it is pretty dang sexy, and BMW seems content to let it linger there. We just drove the new midlife version of the roadster near BMW headquarters in Munich, and it served to reinforce our feelings.

Alpina B4 coupe will be your subtle M4

Sat, 14 Sep 2013

We're big fans of Alpina here at Autoblog - the BMW tuner has created some seriously delicious products in the past, and recently tuned the diesel-powered 3 Series wagon to create the D3 Bi-Turbo. What we like most about Alpina is how the cars only look subtly more aggressive than stock, yet they pack a real wallop under the hood.
Take this B4 Coupe, recently spotted testing at the Nürburgring. It looks pretty tame compared to the normal 435i, the only visual additions being the Alpina-standard 21-spoke wheels, modified front lip and rear wing spoiler. But under the hood, Alpina is reportedly working on a tuned, twin-turbo straight-six that produces something like 410 horsepower. That means the B4 should be good for a 0-62 time of 4.2 seconds, with a top speed around 190 mph. Rear-wheel drive will be standard, though our spies suggest that Alpina could also use all-wheel drive here in the B4.
We have no doubt that the next BMW M4 will be super hot, but for those seeking a bit more stealth and exclusivity, this Alpina B4 certainly looks the business. Check it out in our gallery above.

BMW M3 and M4 will rock 430 hp from twin-turbo six with standard manual [w/video]

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

We're not sure which spec we're most intrigued by for the new BMW M3 and M4: the twin-turbo six-cylinder with 430 horsepower and "far beyond" 369 pound-feet of torque, the 3,300-pound curb weight or the standard six-speed manual transmission with automatic throttle blipping on downshifts. That engine is fitted with both Valvetronic and Double-Vanos, twin-wire arc-spray coating in the cylinders instead of liners to save weight, a track-ready cooling system with additional radiators, a forged crankshaft, dry-sump lubrication and a magnesium oil sump. BMW says its "high revving concept" has a redline beyond 7,500 rpm.
In the M4, it will be pulling a coupe with "a weight of just under 1,500 kilograms," which is 3,300 pounds to you and me. That number is said to include no driver and 90 percent fuel, but we're still waiting on the exact number and specs. BMW says it's "around 80 kilograms lighter than a comparably equipped predecessor model," putting the power-to-weight ratio at something like 7.68 pounds per horsepower at the same time as it helps reduce fuel consumption by 25 percent. The use of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) for the roof, drive shaft (with no center bearing), trunk and front strut brace, and forged aluminum for suspension components, have aided in the weight loss. This time around, the sedan - the M3 - will also get a CFRP roof.
The default option will be a six-speed manual.
