The original owner was located in Kingston TN. I have driven this car up until a couple of months ago when it quit unexpectedly on the interstate. AAA towed it to my long-time mechanic where it is currently residing. We suspect a fuse needs to be replaced or the gas filter, but cannot confirm. It has been housed in my garage until a couple of months ago. Some things you should know about this car: In 1994 the car was repainted and chrome moldings were replaced; the odometer does not work (last reading was 241,648 miles); there is a small dent in the hood which occurred when my house was being reroofed and the car was sitting in the garage; there are a few minor scraps on the paint; red leather Recaro seats; the radio has been replaced; the cracked dash has been covered with a plastic molded dashboard cover; tear in the driver's seat (shown); manuals and service records available. See below."

I purchased this car in 1992 from Thoroughbred Motorcars in Nashville TN. I am the second owner. The original owner was located in Kingston TN. I have driven this car up until a couple of months ago when it quit unexpectedly on the interstate. AAA towed it to my long-time mechanic where it is currently residing. We suspect a fuse needs to be replaced or the gas filter, but cannot confirm. Not going to figure out what's happened, so just selling it. It has been housed in my garage until a couple of months ago. Some things you should know about this car: In 1994 the car was repainted, chrome moldings, and bumpers were replaced; the odometer does not work (last reading was 241,648 miles); there is a small dent in the hood which occurred when my house was being reroofed and the car was sitting in the garage; there are a few minor scraps on the paint; red leather Recaro seats; the radio has been replaced; the cracked dash has been covered with a plastic molded dashboard cover; tear in the leather on driver's seat (shown); AC system upgraded in 2002 to accept R134; manuals and service records available.


This is a classic 1987 BMW 535is manual 5-speed rocket. It has been our "baby" since 1992 and we hate to sell it. But it needs attention and we'd like to send it to a good home. Mostly kept in the garage and smoke free.

Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions.

BMW i8 headed to Frankfurt

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

According to Edmunds, BMW will reveal its production i8 hybrid sports car at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. The i8 is the second vehicle to come from the automaker's new "i" initiative, following the debut of the smaller i3 hatchback last month.
The BMW i8 makes its debut nearly four years after the original Vision EfficientDynamics concept bowed at the Frankfurt expo in 2009. The production car is expected to use a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that drives the rear wheels, coupled to an electric motor that drives the front wheels. Combined output is said to be something like 393 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, based on our earlier reports. The i8 is also expected to be very light, with curb weight coming in somewhere around 3,125 pounds. Finally, the i8 is said to have a pure electric range of 20 miles, and should be able to hit 62 miles per hour in just under five seconds.
Other publications had the chance to ride along in the i8 (in prototype form) and came away impressed. We're hoping we'll feel the same when the car officially goes on sale sometime in early 2014. Stay tuned for more at the i8's official unveiling in just a few weeks.

Reverse-engineering i3 shows BMW profits after 20,000 sales

Tue, Jan 6 2015

"This is, without a question of a doubt, the most advanced vehicle on the planet. It's as revolutionary as the Model T was when it came out." That is exceptionally high praise, and it's not even being heaped on one of the million-dollar hybrid hypercars from Ferrari or McLaren. It's not even being attributed to a particularly zealous Tesla fan. Nope, it's coming from a mustachioed man in suburban Detroit, and he's discussing a $42,400 BMW hatchback with Forbes. Of course, said hatchback is the revolutionary i3, and Sandy Munro's statements carry some degree of authority, as his company is tearing apart and analyzing every little nut, washer and bolt on the four-seat EV. Munro's eponymous company performs reverse-engineering analysis, meaning they rip apart brand new cars and sell the information to the world's automakers, saving OEM's both time and money. The most interesting thing it has discovered thus far? That even with the high costs of two of the i3's most important elements – carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic and lithium-ion batteries – his company's analysis shows that BMW need only sell about 20,000 units a year to turn a profit, Forbes reports. While Munro's company is often contracted by automakers, he's gone it alone on the i3 project, dropping about $1 million into in-depth analysis. That's a lot of money, but the company should be able to turn around and sell its findings for about $500,000, with a batch of Chinese automakers already queued up and ready to buy. Analysis of individual i3 components will also be available from a sort of a la carte menu. To see what it is about the i3 that has Munro speaking so highly of it, head over to the Forbes website and check out the feature article and video on the reverse-engineering process.

Will BMW-Designed Bobsled Give Team USA An Edge At The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics? [UPDATE]

Fri, Feb 7 2014

When we first reported on BMW's plans to develop a new bobsled for Team USA, the 2014 Winter Olympics were over two years away. Now the games are upon us and BMW's high-tech, carbon fiber sled is ready for competition in Sochi. When we first reported on BMW's plans to develop a new bobsled for Team USA, the 2014 Winter Olympics were over two years away. Now the games are upon us and BMW's high-tech, carbon fiber sled is ready for competition in Sochi. According to the automaker, BMW designers redeveloped the two-man bobsled from the ground up to replace a 20-year-old platform that has failed to produce Olympic gold. "BMW's process reevaluated the complete vehicle system: cowling aerodynamics and construction, chassis and steering geometries, athlete fitment and integration were all critical focal points," the automaker said in a statement. "Computer aided modeling, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), full size wind tunnel testing, on track testing, and athlete scannings were all tools in BMW's development approach." The United States has not won a gold medal in two-man bobsled since 1936. Only time will tell if BMW's contributions will give Team USA an edge at this year's Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. You can watch BMW's Team USA bobsled in action in the video above. UPDATE: Team USA bobsledders Steven Holcomb and Steven Langton won the bronze medal in two-man bobsled, snapping a 62-year medal drought in the event.
