For sale is a 1988 BMW 535is, that I have owned since 2004.  It is a blast to drive and has that old rough and tumble BMW feel.

Are you looking for a fun project?  Want to own a classic, that is fun to drive and work on?  This is the car for you!

The interior looks great, but the exterior needs TLC (paint and dents / dings).  My priorities have changed, so I don't have time to finish up the exterior work.

Tires in great shape, Interior looks great, Car needs exterior TLC.  No accidents, clean title & carfax.  New battery, most all little stuff works except detailed below.  

Upgrades performed to the car:

- Conforti p chip
- Mustang fuel injectors
- Bilstein HD struts and shocks
- UUC clutch stop
- New style BMW rims- Replaced the carpet.
- Carpet mats
- Wood stick shift
- Upgraded stereo and speakers
- Key-less entry system
- Upgraded vacuum hoses to silicon
- Front and Rear Seats replaced and in crack free condition.

Issues:
- Needs a paint job and ding / dent repair (interior great, but exterior needs TLC) - Original owner had this red car painted black.
- Typical 535 (e28) rear bumper crack
- Driver side door cannot be unlocked with a key (installed remote keyless system to get around)
- A/C leaks so I disabled it by removing the AC compressor belt
- light in drive computer has gone out
- Odometer gear broke and was repaired in 2007, so the car lost mileage between 2003 - 2007.  I suspect it was about 25K since the car was never a daily driver. Speedo needle has a slight kink in it that happened during the change.
- I bought the car with the dash cover installed, but I suspect the dash below is cracked.
- Car runs fast and has new battery, but has mostly sat idle since 2007.
- 535is trunk fin was cracking badly so I replaced it with a 535i trunk lid (without the fin)
- 535is front seats were cracked, so I replaced them with 535i seats

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe is ready for your favorite roads

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

We've known about the ins and outs of the lovely BMW M6 Gran Coupe for a while now, but that doesn't mean we weren't happy to see the thing in the metal for the first time, here in Detroit.
The M-tuned Gran Coupe utilizes the same 4.4-liter forced-induction V8 that powers both the BMW M6 and the M5, with an output of 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. The fast four-door brings up 60 miles per hour in just 4.1-seconds - the same sprint time as the M6 coupe and a few tenths quicker than the M5 - and up to a limited top speed of 155 mph.
We love those performance figures - this is one new Bimmer that we're amped to get some seat time in - though we're not super crazy about the selection of chrome wheels on this particular show car. Tells us what you think about the hotted up Gran Coupe in comments, below.

BMW X5 eDrive Concept is utilitarian plug-in hybrid

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Bridging the gap between internal combustion engine-powered vehicles and electric vehicles are plug-in hybrids, and BMW has made one out of its biggest sports utility vehicle, even if it's just a concept car at this point. The plug-in hybrid X5 eDrive Concept debuted today at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and it sits attached to a charge port on the show floor.
As we reported in August, the X5 eDrive Concept combines a turbocharged four-cylinder engine of unknown output with a 95-horsepower electric motor, to achieve longer range and lower emissions. The X5 eDrive can drive up to 75 miles per hour and 19 miles on electric power alone, manage about 62 miles per gallon (3.8 liters per 100 kilometers) and accelerate from 0-62 mph in under seven seconds, according to BMW.
Three drive modes are offered: one that automatically operates the hybrid system, an all-electric mode and a Save Battery mode that operates the vehicle using the engine only.

Lil Wayne's daughter gifted Ferrari GTO, BMW X4 for 16th birthday [w/video]

Thu, Dec 4 2014

It must be nice to have ludicrously rich parents. Rapper Lil' Wayne's daughter Reginae recently celebrated her 16th birthday with a huge party in Atlanta. Where many teens would be overjoyed just to get a family hand-me-down for a first car, the rapper's daughter got two brand-new vehicles – a BMW X4 and a Ferrari 599 GTO. The X4 would certainly be extravagant by itself, but it's not totally without precedent. Anyone who watched even a snippet of MTV's old show My Super Sweet 16, probably saw a few vehicles that were just as expensive. However, the concept of any newly licensed teen behind the wheel of a Ferrari is absolutely terrifying to us. This one is even crazier, with 661 horsepower and a chassis capable of lapping Ferrari's Fiorano test track quicker than an Enzo. Of course, with just 599 built, Reginae could probably just park the coupe and let it appreciate enough to finance her next big party. The BMW is reportedly going to be her daily driver, anyway. According to TMZ, Reginae's mother and stepfather bought her the Ferrari with Lil' Wayne's blessing. They believe their daughter can handle the 599 GTO, which shows some serious – if misguided – trust. Check out the video below to see the cars and her party.
