1994 Bmw 540i Clean!!! Rust Free!!! on 2040-cars
Year:1994
Mileage:179950
Location:
Duluth, Minnesota, United States
|
I have a 1994 BMW 540i automatic which is in excellent condition despite having 179,xxx miles! I'm located in Duluth, MN.
As far as the car goes I haven't owned it long, but here is a list of what's been done as far as maintenance goes within the last year: -Valve cover gaskets(8/01/13) -Voltage regulator (2/20/14) -Power Steering flush (2/20/14) -Thermostat (8/01/13) -Crankshaft Position Sensor (12/08/13) -O2 Sensors (12/08/13) -Throttle Body gasket (12/08/13) -New Battery (12/08/13) -Electrical System check (12/08/13) -Vacuum test (12/08/13) [hence the throttle body gasket] -Serpentine belts (4/05/14) Most of these were preventative maintenance and not because they had to be replaced. No modifications except for a muffler delete. I also just put new tabs on which are good through March 2015. It has brand new Firestone Winterforce tires on the rear, but it has older all season tires in the front. Haven't had any issues this year with all the snow we've had. The control arm bushings are getting old and make some rattling noise over bumps, which is a common occurrence with these cars. There are kits for $160 to replace all the front control arms and bushings. I just never got around to fixing them, and the rattling never bothered me too much. I will throw in a set of H&R lowering springs that are brand new (came in the mail 4/07/14) for the right deal. Otherwise I will save them for another future E34 I'll probably end up with. The engine is smooth and the transmission shifts as it should but it was recommended to me that I replace the shift cable. It's not a pressing matter by any means. It functions as it should and I have had no issues whatsoever, but the shop said it may need to be replaced but I think they were just trying to get more money out of me. One reason I did not replace it was because I tracked down a complete bolt on 5 speed swap kit for it, which I can put you in touch with the owner of the kit if that is what you desire. The body itself is in amazing condition. The car was originally from South Carolina and was undercoated when new. There is one small dent on the drivers side rear passenger door from a motor cycle, but it is hardly noticeable. There is no rust whatsoever. The interior is in good condition. The driver's seat is a little beat up and needs a new cable for the seat back, but all power functions work.The aftermarket radio works, but has a loose wire so it cuts out if you hit a big bump, then you just push it back and it works. Other than that it is great. It even has a built in car phone...that works! I have a clean title in my name as well. I welcome you to come inspect the car before purchasing but rest assured I will be honest about everything because I have nothing to hide. I'm just looking to get into a newer car. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. On Apr-14-14 at 11:18:18 PDT, seller added the following information: There have been some concerns about the AutoCheck report stating that there was a discrepancy with the odometer. This is a result of an error at the DMV when reporting the mileage in 2001, and the mileage is accurate at 179,950. The miles will go up slightly due to daily driving, but rest assured that there was no rollback or cluster replacement. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Venturi to break electric world record, app shows where bike lanes are needed
Tue, Aug 19 2014Electric automaker Venturi hopes to post a new electric land speed record this week, despite Bonneville Speed Week being cancelled. The VBB-3, developed with Ohio State University, is powered by two 1,500-hp electric motors. If the salt flats are sufficiently dry, the team hopes to set a new electric world speed record of over 600 kilometers per hour (373 mph), and possibly 700 kph (435 mph). The Venturi BB-2.5 set a record of 495 kph (307 mph) in 2010. Read more at Electric Autosport, and keep abreast of Venturi's progress at its Twitter account. A new app is trying to fix Wiesbaden, Germany's bike problem. A bike organization named the city the worst in the world for cycling. In response, a local group developed an app that uses crowdsourced routes to suggest where bike lanes and paths should go. The app tracks users routes as they ride, and maps them to show where the city could benefit from improving its infrastructure. The app and its results have the attention of government officials, too. See the video below, or read more at Fast Company. BMW has delivered the first i8s at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California. The first customers include Roger Penske, Rick Hendrick and Tony Fadell (founder and CEO of Nest). The lucky new owners were also treated to a gourmet meal from Chef Thomas Keller, who was also among those to receive the i8 at the event. As mentioned, BMW also auctioned off a special edition i8 at Pebble Beach for $825,000, considerably more than the car's base MSRP of $135,700. Read more in the press release from BMW, below. Uber's Berlin ban has been suspended by a local court. The city banned the car-hailing app for failing to meet passenger safety standards. The court will now decide whether to uphold the ban or toss it out. This was the second time this year that Uber had been deemed unlawful in Berlin. Uber continued to operate throughout its ban, despite threats of fines. If upheld, Uber could be fined $34,000 for picking up a passenger. Read more at The New York Times.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW tests AdBlue pumps, Drivr is a Tesla taxi service
Thu, Jan 22 2015BMW is testing AdBlue pumps in Germany. AdBlue fluid is used to remove NOx from diesel exhaust, and it is stored in its own tank within the vehicle. Filling AdBlue is easy enough for drivers to do it themselves, and with the proliferation of diesel vehicles in Europe, a pump filling system could make more sense than using the current hand-held containers. BMW is testing AdBlue pumps at three fueling stations in Munich and Berlin to help develop further AdBlue dispenser technology. Read more at Green Car Congress. Drivr Green Personal Transportation is a Tesla taxi service in Cincinnati. Two former employees of Tesla Motors founded the startup, which bills itself alongside ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. Customers book a ride online, and are picked up by a Tesla Model S. The ride costs $2.50 per mile with a $15 minimum. Drivr currently operates three cars with seven drivers, with plans to lease another 10 Teslas and employ up to 30 drivers. The service will also be expanding to Denver soon, according to the website. Learn more at the Drivr website, or read more at Clean Technica. Ford is opening a research and development facility in Silicon Valley. The Ford Research & Innovation Center, which will be located less than three miles from Tesla Motors headquarters in Palo Alto, California, is expected to be one of the automotive industry's largest R&D facilities. "We're driving to be both a product and a mobility company, and ultimately to change the way the world moves," says Ford CEO Mark Fields. Read more at Automotive News. Law firms advising Fisker Automotive have been denied a $2.50-million fee enhancement in the car company's bankruptcy. Brown Rudnick LLP and Saul Ewing LLP were denied the extra fees, as a Delaware bankruptcy judge ruled there is "no evidence" that the firms provided anything more than what they originally expected. In denying the fee enhancement, the judge cited a "very high bar" for such awards. Read more at Law360.
