class=""> Hi everyone, what is for sale here is a nice canadian spec black on black e28 m5. If you are here i guess you already know how rare e28 m5 are but if you don't here are some quick highlights ; ~1300 cars in north america ~100 black leather interior in north america ~100 canadian spec car ~was the fastest sedan in the world back in the days I purchased this exemple here from a local customer in good rust less condition (he wanted to sell because he didnt use it much and wanted to build a new hot rod) but it needed some attention. apart from me it is a 3 owner car with a clean, no damage carfax. first owner 87-96 second 96-08 third 08-14 The third owner got it in a trade for his hot rod, he got it at 186000 and in 6 years only did 12000 km. during the summer i drove around 2000 km. The 3rd gear was grinding at higher rpm, fixed this by replacing it with a 80k km getrag out of a e30 m3 (non dogleg). quicker ratio, smoother and less noise were the benefits of switching to this transmission. the car had a dot-r transmission that i could include in the sale if you want to get it rebuilded but if you have already driven an e28 m5 I think you will like the switch to the e30 m3 transmission. The car had missing fog lights, both were purchased brand new. It has a new oem left rear shock and a new gaz tank. Self leveling system is working fine ! COMPLETE flush of every single liquids in the car. Brand new spark plugs. Ac is blowing cold! The car has NO rust, and wear a mostly original paint. PLEASE keep in mind this is an old car of course it has some imperfections. its not a concours car but it has no rust and the clear coat is not faded. (i have 80+ pictures of the exterior available) the paint had some rock chips and were repaired, in my opinion, not in the best way. the lower valence has some history to it, a crack and some scraping marks. if it is really a concern for you i will have it repaired and repainted. i dont think its a problem but that's just me. the vin numbers all match. Hood mechanism works great. The wheels are the original one, yes they are faded they have never been restored. Everything inside the car works apart from both head rests. ac/heat, radio, electric seats, sun roof, windows, computer(no dead pixel, accurate reading), mirrors, cruise control etc... it all works! The car has NO check engine everything is properly working. I can send you pictures of the engine with valve cover off. It's in perfect condition (no wear on the cams) I have no receipts from previous owner for valve adjustment/timing chain components. I had the car checked at a local bmw garage they said nothing was wrong with the engine, no concern for the next km's. pictures of the engines are available, it has NO leaks. I got a compression test done on the car. all the reading were between 180 and 190 (pictures available). The powersteering, while turning hard, is a little noisy.I would say normal wear but I prefered tell it upfront. It works nice and doesn't leak even with this small noise. iacv has been changed, starter has been rebuilt. Handbrake works good. Bushings are all in good working order. Brakes are 80% front and 50% back. the brake lines are all in good working order, from what i can see they all have been redone, the right way. The original radio has been changed for a pioneer,an original radio is included in the sale. Power antenna works properly. Leather condition ; dash has a 1 cm crack facing outside the car on the middle air vent, and thats it. the leather is really flexible and in good condition, the only flaws in the seats are 1 piping crack on driver seat and 2 piping crack on passenger seat. the ///m stickers on the emblem on the front seats have some wear. there is also some wear on center console etc... nothing major just normal wear on the leather. The cluster screen has a small crack in the bottom left and right corner. The cigar lighter is a bit loose, the ring that holds it in place is missing. It has an aftermarket cold air intake. if its a concern i can most likely find a solution to that. The car seals are all in good shape, there is no water leak anywhere. This is the cleanest, best working condition old bmw i ever come across in person apart from a 50k km first owner e30 m3. I HAVE NO PROBLEM EXPORTING THE CAR. i have an account to export the car and ship it to you. I WONT SELL the car sight unseen with wire transfer. you want the car find the time to come see it, i feel i have been honest with ad so please respect this condition. it is an old car and we dont have the same expectations, i want to make sure the sales goes well and i feel its better in person. i will help you out, pick you up at the airport, refer you to my shipper, bring the car to whatever place you want to get it inspected by(in an enclosed trailer) the car is located 20 minutes from the airport. if you want to inspect the car yourself, i have shop with lift and every tool you need. You feel this is alot of money? yes it is but i dont think if you keep it for a long time and maintain properly you could loose a single penny. those cars are on the rise and e28 m5 are one of the rarest motorsports car ever produced. just like e30 m3, carrera rs, soon they wont be affordable You could drive the car home, i can give you a free set of winter tire, i would not. if you are crazy enough it will make it im pretty sure, made a 500km trip and had no issue at all. Lowballers will be ignored, want to speak on the phone? sure please respect resonable hours (time zone) if you are not sure text me before ; 514-sixsixtwo-sevenfouronenine vehicule has no warranty ; AS IS carfax will be given to anyone that asks for it for free!

There's no substitution for BMW's E30 Mmmmm3

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

If you told someone that you had a friend with a four-cylinder BMW who "would let me wash the car," and in exchange for the privilege then let you drive that clean BMW once around the block, your first question would probably be "What kind of BMW is this?" There's a chance you wouldn't be surprised once you found out the coupe in question was the E30 M3, a car our own Zach Bowman dubbed the "Mmmmm3."
Petrolicious talks to Gabor Mester about the car he fell in love with, a black version of the original "Munich mauler" that was owned by the parents of a high-school friend - oh, and Mester was also in high school when this washing and driving took place. When the original owners were ready to sell, Mestor was ready to buy, and he hasn't had a single regret about it since.
You can enjoy his story in his words in the video below.

BMW calling in 76k vehicles over airbag issues

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

Vehicles these days are typically fitted with a mat in the front passenger seat that determines whether that airbag needs to be activated in the event of a collision and how it should deploy. But that system doesn't always work, as Mercedes recently found in its SL-Class roadster and as Suzuki did before it with the Grand Vitara and SX4 crossovers. Now a crop of BMW vehicles have befallen the same issue, prompting the Bavarian automaker to cooperate with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for the vehicles in question.
The problem affects precisely 76,565 vehicles, including certain the 3 Series (sedan and wagon), 5 Series, 7 Series and X5 crossover families spanning the 2006 and 2007 model years and fitted with a certain type of seat. However, since the parts to repair the problematic components are not currently available, as you can see from the recall notice below, it won't be until March 2014 when local dealers will be able to resolve the issue.

Next BMW X1 moving to smaller, lighter FWD-biased platform

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

BMW's decision to make the upcoming 2-Series Active Tourer front-wheel drive has been polarizing to say the least, but like it or not, that is the direction the company will go in the near future - one rumor put the number as high as 23 front-wheel-drive models for Mini and BMW combined. The next-generation X1 won't send all its power to the front wheels, though, when it launches in early 2016. While it will use the same platform as the Active Tourer, rumors suggest all models will use all-wheel drive - at least at launch.
A "high-ranking," unnamed BMW manager confirmed to AutoWeek that the new model will switch to transversely-mounted three- and four-cylinder engines and the same six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions as the Active Tourer. The new, smaller platform will allow for more efficient packaging, and despite the smaller size, interior space will remain comparable. All the changes should make it significantly lighter too.
Don't start wailing just yet because BMW surely won't be entirely abandoning sporty models. AutoWeek claims that the Bavarians are working on a higher-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with power closer to 300 horsepower, about a 72-hp boost. It's also rumored to offer a sporty version of the X1 that may be called the X2.
