After a lot of time and fun on this car, it is finally time to move on. This car has quite a story, and a lot of pictures of the build to go along with it if you are interested. I originally picked this car up two years ago from another loving owner as a 530i M sport 5 speed with a broken windshield and no stereo completely bone stock for $4100. It has a list of receipts from past owners along with all of the book stuff from BMW when it was originally purchased. I had the windshield replaced and installed a very nice pioneer deck immediately, and also had plans to buy a 4.0L V8 to swap into it. After about 6 months I found an engine for sale pulled from a 1995 740i (preferable since the 7 series only came in automatic so the engine couldn't have been ripped on too hard) The engine had 130,000 miles on it, but was professionally rebuilt by BMW at 100,000 miles due to the nikasil block problems these engines had. So the engine really only has about 30,000 miles on it. I purchased it for $900 and also purchased new gaskets to redo the engine. I replaced everything besides the head gaskets which are in great condition. After re-gasketing the engine, I picked up a brand new stage 1 clutch and Flywheel for $1300. I also bought a 6-speed transmission pulled from a totaled Z8 for $1000 and I dropped it off at eastside transmission to have it looked through(they found it to be in perfect order) then they re-gasketed it and filled it up with new oil. I then ordered a brand new E34 M5 drive shaft(for power handling) and had the back end shortened with a new yolk to fit my differential all done by drivelines northwest in Seattle. The differential and subframe are from a late model 535i auto. The differential also had the yolk changed to fit and disassembled,checked, re-gasketed, and filled with redline racing fluid by Northwest differential in kirkland. It is a 3.91 LSD. Sub frame received some love as I replaced the bushings and repainted everything for rust prevention. The exhaust is custom made by Tim at muffler king in kirkland and it sounds fantastic! The computer was tuned by a guy in Renton who makes performance chips for these car. It dynoed at 320 crank HP and 330 tq. fuel economy is sacrificed a bit for these specs but who cares, its a V8 already. The suspension was custom made by BC racing and is 32 way adjustable dampening, ride height and spring pre-load adjustable with 6k springs up front and 8k in the rear. The front struts are weld in only, so I had it done by a FIA certified welder at 425 Motorsports in bellevue for $600. At the same time that they did this, they also built custom one off racing seat brackets which came out to $700 because they are very different than normal seat brackets, and I can explain better with pictures. The car comes with both original seats, one recaro SRD in perfect condition, and both racing seat brackets. It also will have the very rare AC Schnitzer style 3 two piece wheels pictured mounted up along with brand new Michelin pilot sport 3 tires 235/40/18. The car also has an all new coolant system including water pump, radiator, fan, fan shroud, and hoses.

The car is a load of fun to drive, it does 0-60 in 4.7 second and loves to slide around corners. The paint could be in better condition, but it is 18 years old, and looks pretty good for that age. It is very solid and I will miss it forever, but I am ready for another project now. Thank you:)

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.

BMW will electrify all brands and model lines, including Mini

Tue, Jul 25 2017

BMW has announced that it plans to produce a fully electric version of the three-door hatchback Mini. The car will go into production in 2019, and the battery electric drivetrain will be produced at BMW's Bavarian facilities, then transported to Plant Oxford where it will join the cars. BMW says there will remain a diesel variant in addition to the petrol, plug-in hybrid, and EV versions of the Mini. No prototype shots have been released of the upcoming cars; the current one was unveiled in late 2013. The UK production location isn't the only place where BMW builds Minis, as the former Volvo/Mitsubishi/Smart NedCar plant in the Netherlands has been tooled to build some of the 360,000 Minis built yearly. According to the BBC, UK Business Secretary Greg Clark considers the choice to build EV Minis in Britain a "vote of confidence" despite Brexit, and that it would see battery technology development boosted in the UK. By the time the EV version starts production, UK will likely have already left the European Union. The electrification of the Mini is part of BMW Group's continuing addition of full-electric or plug-in versions to all its brands and model series. Of all the vehicles it will sell in 2025, 15-25 percent will be electrified in one way or the other. Similarly to Volvo, BMW sees flexible production to be in a key position in the future: The facilities would have to be able to build all versions at the same time, as markets fluctuate depending on incentives and infrastructure. If EVs sell strongly, the production process can quickly respond to the demand. An electric Mini underwent trials back in 2008, so the full-scale production vehicle would have over a decade's worth of engineering behind it. Green BMW MINI mini ev bmw group

Morgan Plus 8 Speedster hits the track versus BMW R Nine T

Mon, Sep 29 2014

Evo is back at it with its car-versus-bike races, following up on the all-British Jaguar/Triumph battle from last weekend with an (almost) all-BMW affair, pitting the German brand's stylish and vintage-looking R Nine T against the British-built, BMW-powered Morgan Plus 8 Speedster. Unlike last week's battle, though, we're guessing this contest will be quite a bit more even. See, the F-Type had 380 horsepower and plenty of body fat to haul about. The Morgan, though, is nearly as powerful (367 ponies) and is far lighter, at around 2,200 pounds. The BMW, meanwhile, isn't quite the track star that the lightweight Triumph Street Triple R. You'll need to check out the video to see whether two wheels or four wheels will prevail. Have a look. News Source: EVO via YouTube BMW Convertible Motorcycle Performance Videos evo
