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 Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. If additional photos are needed or would like to stop by during the 7 day auction time, please email me. |

BMW M235i Racing restores our faith in 'M'
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Based on the upcoming BMW 2 Series and aimed at amateur and semi-professional racers, the 2014 BMW M235i Racing is a stripped-down, race-spec coupe ready to take on the Nürburgring in the VLN Endurance Championship race series against cars from Audi, Porsche and Toyota.
Obvious in the image above (click to enlarge), BMW has given the M235i Racing the wide-body treatment with a track that has been stretched by 3.5 inches. Under the hood, the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder receives a power boost from a stock 322 horsepower up slightly to 333 hp, while other modifications include a full FIA roll cage, a racing fuel tank and a limited slip rear differential.
The M235i Racing replaces the M3 GT4 as BMW's factory racer, and it will be priced at 59,500 euros (close to $80,000), which is about as affordable as a factory-prepped racecar can get. The full press release is posted below, but we can't wait to see this car in action next year.
2014 BMW Z4 sDrive35is
Tue, 14 May 2013The 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.
Xcar rates AWD vs. FWD vs. RWD
Tue, Feb 24 2015With snow and ice blanketing large swathes of the United States over the past few weeks, commuting hasn't been easy. Among some drivers, there's an ongoing debate about how much all-wheel drive really helps when it gets slippery and whether rear-drive is as bad in slick conditions as many people think. Xcar Films puts some of those beliefs to the test in its latest video by showing off three very different cars taking on a trio of low-grip challenges. Xcar's picks for the test include the fairly plebeian, all-wheel drive Subaru Impreza, the somewhat plush, rear-drive BMW 120d and the sporty, front-drive Renault Megane RS 275 Trophy. Things start out easy with a hydraulic plate forcing the back end out on a wet skid pad. From there, the tests get really interesting with a slalom on simulated ice, and the cars finish with a high-speed cornering challenge through a soaked turn. While an obvious winner emerges in the end, keep in mind this is hardly a scientific test of grip. For better accuracy, all three vehicles should be wearing identical tires, and the same driver should be behind the wheel of each one. Still, Xcar's examination is a fun chance to see how vehicles react when things get slick.
