1988 BMW M5 Mileage: 160K VIN #: WBSDC930XJ2791256 History: AutoCheck Vehicle History Report available upon request Seller Comments: This is a very original and complete E28
M5 that has spent the majority of its life in Northern California. It was
resurrected from storage around 2011 and has only limited service records available.
According to record, the M5 was sold new in NY and passed through the Midwest
before finally making it to California in 1997, which may explain why the car
has some rust found at three of the four jacking points and at the rear lower
rear valence. (Pictures available upon request)
In my opinion, the rust isn’t extensive and a competent and experienced
auto body technician should find the repair not extraordinary. That being
said, most of the paint is factory original and all VIN tags are present on all
panels with the exception of the hood and driver’s front fender, where the hood
has original VIN tag, but has been refinished and the fender appears to have
been refinished and replaced. Overall, I would consider this a solid M5 that is
a good candidate for restoration for those in the know. Vehicle Condition Drivetrain: Motor is stock with no modifications, starts
reliably with smooth idle, runs strong and does not burn or leak oil.
Transmission shifts well in all gears, hot or cold but has typical leak at gear
selector shaft seal or at rear output seal (exact location TBD) and has minor
vibration during idle at/near rear transmission mount. New O2 sensor installed
and M5 recently passed CA smog. Recent engine oil and transmission oil change
with Mobile 1 15w-50 and Redline MTL respectively. New motor mounts. (by
previous owner 04/13) Suspension: (by previous owner 04/13) New upper and lower control arms, tie
rods and sway bar links. New rear subframe mounts and rear pitman
links. Recent front Bilstein Sport struts
(front) and rear suspension SLS delete. (prior to previous owner) Brakes: (by previous owner 04/13) Front and rear calipers rebuilt New front and rear rotors New brake pads and wear sensors New SS brake lines Exterior: (by previous owner 04/13) Windshield and lock strip New trunk and taillight gaskets and

Ecsta 225/50ZR15 tires Interior: (by previous owner 04/13) New/used dashboard New shift knob and shifter boot New/used factory OEM radio (code needed) New seatbelt latches New AC compressor and receiver/drier (however,

DC fast charging standard on 2015 BMW i3 EV
Mon, Dec 1 2014The BMW i3 is about to get a lot cooler. No, wait, a lot warmer. That's because there will a few new standard features in the i3 plug-in vehicles sold in the US, including seat heaters and satellite radio. Oh, and DC fast charging. The department head of BMW i USA, Jacob Harb, told BMW Blog that the company is, "now confident enough that in 2015 we will have the right infrastructure for DC fast charging, so it makes to include it standard in the MY2015." We can expect more details at the Detroit Auto Show in January and Harb told BMW Blog that, "you will be pleasantly surprised" by the announcement. There are a few other potential changes in store for the i3, including a configurable keyfob (like European i3 drivers get) and a heated steering wheel. It's unlikely that a sunroof or Lane Departure Warning will be offered, but Harb said BMW is always open to suggestions.
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer getting third row
Sat, 23 Aug 2014In what enthusiasts will likely see as a continued attempt to dilute the BMW brand, the German manufacturer is testing a three-row variant of its already controversial 2 Series Active Tourer. Our trusty spy photographers captured images of the new, front-drive MPV testing on the roads of Europe.
The easiest way to ID this more passenger friendly 2er is its slightly longer length, which will allow it to accommodate seven people in total. As our spies point out, this should make the 2AT an attractive proposition for European taxi companies. Yep, BMW built a car that will be praised by taxi drivers. On top of the extra seats, the rear overhang appears larger as well, which should mean extra cargo space.
This, of course, is not the first time we've captured images of a new 2AT variant undergoing testing. Back in May, we spotted a hybrid-powered variant out for a drive.

The company offers two suspension kits, as well. The first lowers the BMW by 1.0-1.2 inches in front and 0.4-0.6 inches in the rear. However, for drivers who really want to scrape the ground, an adjustable racing option drops the front by 1.2-1.6 inches and the back by 1.2 inches. Of course, AC Schnitzer's buyers also want to show off their cars' added performance, and the company is ready with a host of carbon fiber pieces. Up front, there's a new front spoiler, splitter and side flicks, and the rear is available with a diffuser, roof spoiler and fixed rear wing.
