1988 Bmw M5 Base Sedan 4-door 3.5l on 2040-cars
Kennebunk, Maine, United States
1988 BMW M5 vin#
WBSDC9304J2875220 with 151K miles, in excellent condition with over 12K
invested within the last 3K miles. It’s
black with natural tan leather. The doors, trunk, hood and dashboard all have
the vin# present. The windshield and
window glass are all BMW and not aftermarket. This is quite remarkable considering the age
of the vehicle. The tires are new and the rims look new with no road rash of
any kind. I replaced the battery this
spring and the car has a current State of Maine inspection sticker. Currently, the car doesn’t need anything
except a driver who’ll enjoy it!
It doesn’t have any rust and
the paint is in good condition. I would
rate the exterior an 8/10. No dents or
door dings are present, but it does have some scratches and other minor
imperfections. However, it does present
itself extremely well.
The interior is also in good
condition with the original radio intact. The power seats/windows all work accordingly. The only issue with the interior is the
driver’s seat has a 1” split from a crease that dried out over the years. Other than that, the seats are in great
condition. Please see pics. I
would rate the interior an 8.5/10. The
dashboard does have cracks, which is typical of most European makes of this
era. Please see pics. The a/c was converted to R134 in 2010 and
blows ice cold air.
The stock self - leveling
suspension was replaced with a Bilstein sport kit and has been lowered. It handles like it’s on rails! It has a stainless steel exhaust with a new
catalytic converter. The exhaust note is
incredible!
The sunroof operates when it
feels like it. I think the switch is bad
and needs to be replaced, so I’m told. The electric antenna was replaced in 2010 and
is fully functional.
I purchased the car in 2012
from a German auto enthusiast. He
purchased it in 2010 with 149K on the clock with the intention of investing
whatever it took to get the car up to his standards. He lost his storage and was forced to sell the
car. Please see the condensed list
below of the work performed between 149K and 151K. If you’re a serious buyer, I can email you a
detailed list of everything done to the car since 2010 or within the last 3K. However, I do have a binder full of records
dating back earlier than that. I do have
the original owners manual for the car and radio, as well as, the original ’88 service
book. These are all in excellent
condition. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. A/C R134 conversion including

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe spotted wearing minimal camo, M Sport pack
Mon, 14 Oct 2013The new BMW 4 Series is essentially the coupe version of the latest 3 Series. So it would stand to reason that the four-door version of the 4 Series, in turn, would be the 3 Series - right? Well, yes and no.
Just as BMW offers both a 5 Series sedan and a four-door version of the 6 Series called the Gran Coupe, so, too, will its 4-Series family expand. So following the release of the new 4 Series Convertible, here we have the latest batch of spy shots showing the upcoming 4 Series Gran Coupe - which in turn should not be confused with the hunchbacked 3 Series Gran Turismo, which is more of a sporty wagon than a four-door coupe.
The nearly ready test vehicle pictured here is wearing only minimal camouflage to hide some last few details, but also appears to be wearing the M Sport package that will bridge the gap (at least, visually speaking) between the base models and the M4 Gran Coupe that is all but certain to follow.
Two new RWD Toyota sports cars to join FR-S?
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Toyota as we know it could become a thing of the past. According to Australian site Car Advice, the Japanese brand known for bland cruisers like the Camry and Corolla is preparing to bring two new rear-drive cars to market that would slot above and below the Scion-badged FR-S. This is very, very good news.
Car Advice spoke to the GT86/FR-S' chief engineer, Tatsuya Tada, who claimed, "Akio Toyoda always says to me, Toyota sports car [family] should be three sports car brothers. 86 is in the middle." The oldest "brother" would be the spiritual successor to the Supra, even if it doesn't wear that name. Tada is in charge of that project, while a sub-GT86 project is being headed-up elsewhere.
Tada refused to comment on names (CA specifically mentions MR2 and Celica) for the new small car, but did say that, "Yes it is rear-wheel drive and that's Toyota's strong position - Toyota sports car must be rear-wheel drive." Perhaps the juiciest bit of information obtained from Tada's interview with Car Advice was his hinting that both new sports cars would be joint ventures, like the GT86/FR-S/Subaru BRZ triplets. Tada wouldn't say who Toyota was in bed with on the smaller model, but did mention that the Supra would be a product of the world's largest automaker's partnership with BMW.
