I am selling a 1985 BMW 524td. I am the second owner. All service has been done at Auto Europa in Phoenix. The previous owner and myself have been very meticulous in taking care of this vehicle. NADA vehicle guide gives this vehicle a High value of $6875, Low Value $3625 and an Average Value of $5050. I just saw one sell with lower miles on ebay for $8350. The vehicle is in excellent condition inside and out and runs amazing. The ac is freezing cold and the heater works. I hate to let this vehicle go. 

I recently had the entire vehicle painted with high quality dupont paints and clear coat in 2011. It should last for years. I just had all the brakes and rotors replaced as well as a brand new battery an alternator, new tires, steering linkage, and had all the fluids changed. I have a list of other stuff I have done over the years that I can give you upon looking at the vehicle. Over all this vehicle runs extremely well and being a diesel the engine will last many more years.

I had a minor accident in 2011 and had to replace the front bumper and drivers fender. The exterior of the vehicle looks great and you could never tell. I have a clean and clear title. The interior looks amazing especially for the age of the vehicle. I always had sheep skin covers on the seats that I just took them off to sell. The arm rest have some tears in the leather and there is a small tear in the drivers seat. The odometer reads 211077 but stopped working at the end of 2008. I would guess that actual miles are around 240,000-250,000. I recently replaced the gears on the odometer and it works intermittently. The speedometer does the same. I believe there is a short or the speedo sensor needs replacement. This would be a great vehicle for anyone that loves these rare diesel BMW's (only 400 imported in the usa) or a great first car for a teenager. I tried to cover as much info as I could. Please email me with any questions. I have a carfax available. VIN #WBADB2402F0530638


On Dec-30-13 at 14:33:29 PST, seller added the following information:

The heater works great but only through the defrost vents. I think the blend door may need replacement. The paint is still in excellent condition except there is some chipping on the back windows chrome (as seen in pictures) and a some minor chipping on the drivers door trim.  I do have dark tint all the way around and the tail lights and blinker lights have been smoked. I do have the front fog lights but didn't install them. Like I said the car runs great but does leak oil like you would expect from a 1985 diesel, but nothing extreme. A small section of the carpet around the front speakers was cut out when I bought it (seen in pictures).

BMW M6 amped up for track duty by Risden

Sat, 22 Dec 2012

Risden Engineering is a bit of an unknown, if we're being completely honest - we have yet to report on the company to date, and its corporate website is really an information desert save for the name and a few email addresses. Even the press release that we requested from Risden's contact person is short and vague. That's all pretty much okay with us as long as the shadowy tuners, you know, make good on this sweet-looking BMW M6 racecar thing.
Dubbed the Risden 6R, we're told that the M6 modification will result in a vehicle that is more adept at track work, while still being street-legal. In terms of specifics, we read that a full aero kit will be involved, with one fixed and one retractable rear wing (hard to miss). There are obviously new wheels, and the company has also added a fully adjustable suspension, a four-point roll bar and a new braking system - all while reducing curb weight overall.
Apparently more details are to follow after the 6R's official release in the first quarter of 2013. We wait with bated breath.

BMW takes 30th Anniversary Edition M5 out to drift

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

If you only look at the videos from BMW, it appears that the best way to celebrate the 30th birthday of the M5 is some smoky drifting, and it sure looks like a great way to mark the occasion to us. Now that the Bavarian brand's new 30th anniversary special edition is all set to hit the road, the most powerful M5 ever is getting it own chance to roast its tires on video, as well.
The M5 30th Anniversary Edition shouldn't have any problem hanging its rear end out, really. Under the hood, its twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 is turned up to 600 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque and can allegedly sprint to 60 miles per hour in a scant 3.7 seconds. That's pretty impressive for any sports car but especially for a sedan that can still carry four passengers comfortably cosseted in leather and Alcantara upholstery.
BMW is making just 300 of these celebratory models worldwide, and appropriately for the anniversary, only 30 of them are going to be available in the US. If the special M5 doesn't make your heart race, the video basks in a little nostalgia, as well, by showing off the original model for some historical context.

BMW 1 Series with B38 three-cylinder engine

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Downsizing For BMW's Front-Wheel-Drive And i Futures
Output is quoted at 175 horsepower and BMW says it will hit 62 mph in 7.0 seconds.
The red five-door BMW 1 Series seen in this photo gallery has little to do with what is actually of importance here. What we've just tested at an airfield not far from Munich, Germany, is a new 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo inline three-cylinder gas engine that we'll be hearing an awful lot about in the coming few years.
