1995 Bmw 540i E34- 2 Owners, Rust-free California Car, Immaculate, No Reserve!!! on 2040-cars

Year:1995 Mileage:140150 Color: with a matching black leather interior
Location:

Tarzana, California, United States

Tarzana, California, United States

Up for sale is my 1995 BMW 540i E34. The car was originally purchased by my grandfather from BMW of San Diego back in 1995 for nearly $50,000 ($77,000 in today's money adjusted for inflation) and I got it from him. I still have the original sale's receipt and window sticker as well! He took great care of his car, always garage-kept, always serviced on time and with genuine BMW parts and I have continued this into my ownership.  

The car carries a clean California title, has NEVER been in any accident, and is a southern California rust-free car in amazing condition. Car has a beautiful black paint exterior with a matching black leather interior, both in great shape. There are some cosmetic issues that I have described in the condition description, but overall the vehicle is in great shape for a car of this age. Has ALWAYS been kept in the garage by both me and my grandfather, and it shows when you compare this 5-series to others of the same vintage.

All electronics work perfectly, with the exception of the speaker on the drivers side not working- I was told it could use a new head unit- I like to keep my cars original so I have not changed it. No fault codes in the diagnostic computer when I had the car checked out.

1995 was the last year of the E34 5-series, so you're getting the most refined and advanced this series had to offer.  These cars were the most reliable cars BMW ever built, they are known to go 300k+miles as long as they are properly maintained, and this one is no exception. Only 140k miles on the car, so it has a long life ahead!

Engine runs perfectly, just like a legendary BMW V8 should. You will not find a cleaner and better condition E34 on Craigslist, this car will serve you a lifetime as long as you continue to properly maintain it as well as I have! I've always used 91 octane premium fuel, only used BMW OEM parts when servicing,  and I've just babied this car always, just as my grandfather had.


I just got the car smogged and it passed with flying colors for you California buyers. Registration is also current through the end of they year. I also performed a pre-purchase inspection on the vehicle and replaced all the important things that needed attention.


I'm a BMW enthusiast, and have spared no expense on maintaining this machine. I've changed many parts with new ones, here's a short list from the most recent service:

-New Air Filter
-New Power Steering fluid reservoir, filter, and liquid
-New radiator
-New battery
-New water pump
-New power steering pump
-New valve cover gaskets
-New windshield wipers
-New hood shocks
-New exhaust hangers/doughnuts
-New shifter lining
-Many new rubber parts in engine bay

Below are some pics, I'm going to try and get some higher res pics up later this week, along with a video walkthrough. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Car is also up for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel auction at any time.

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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Nissan Leaf in Puerto Rico, BMW i3 REx tax-free in NJ, BC2BC cancelled [UPDATE]

Tue, Jul 22 2014

*UPDATE: Nissan has released a video of the Leaf in Puerto Rico, so we've embedded it below. Envia Systems will develop battery technology for United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC), a subsidiary of the United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR). The $7.7 million contract, co-funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE), involves a 36-month development program focusing on high-energy cathode and anode material for lithium-ion batteries and pouch cells for electric vehicles. The goal, of course, is to create better energy storage for less money in an effort to make commercial EVs more efficient and affordable. For the DOE, this also equates to energy security, energy independence and national security. Read more in the press release at the bottom of the page. The US and China have agreed to work together more closely on EVs, energy and climate issues. US Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz went to Beijing for the sixth US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue to meet with leaders. While there, Moniz and Wu Xinxiong of China's National Energy Administration (NEA) signed a memorandum of understanding allowing the DOE and NEA to share information regarding oil reserves. The groups will meet yearly to learn more about how each other manages petroleum stockpiles and policy. Moniz also met with Minister Miao Wei of the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and signed an MOU to cooperate on electric vehicles and "related technologies," including the "inter-operability of electric vehicles." Read more at the Energy Department website. August's BC2BC all-electric vehicle rally, billed as the largest gathering of electric vehicles, has been cancelled. The event, which was to include a drive up the entire coast from Mexico to British Columbia with smaller events along the route, failed to bring in the needed sponsorship to hold the rally for its third year. A Facebook post from organizer Tony Williams also cited loss of venue and lack of support from automakers - "particularly Nissan and Tesla" - as hardships. The event was scheduled to take place August 9 through 17, with only battery electric vehicles invited to take part - no plug-in hybrids or range-extended vehicles. Williams said he'd only try a similar event in the future if sponsorship were provided up front. Read more at Green Car Reports. The Nissan Leaf will finally go on sale in Puerto Rico.

2015 BMW M4 gets initiated into the club

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

It's easy for enthusiasts and traditionalists to give BMW a hard time these days, what with its plans to add more front-wheel drive models and seeming move away from more emotionally connected cars. However, the push for perfection that underscored its old Ultimate Driving Machine motto is still in there, especially in its M models. In fact, the first M4 recently made it to US shores, and the company thought the only appropriate way to celebrate was to introduce its new coupe to some of its high-performance forefathers.
The M4's initiation into the M car brotherhood involved bringing together no fewer than 52 classic and newer models - including four racecars and many privately owned vehicles - to an empty parking lot and letting the coupe drift and slalom around them to say hello. According to BMW, there was a combined 11,566 horsepower on hand. It takes a pretty trusting owner to stand back and watch as a brand-new vehicle slides its tail out with the rear wheels smoking within feet of their pride and joy. Stay tuned until the end where the owners and their cars get a shout out in the credits. Scroll down to read BMW's press release about it.
