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 says yes to 1 Series M successor, no to M6 Gran Coupe with xDrive
Wed, 13 Mar 2013If you're anything like us, the first half of that headline made you smile. The BMW 1 Series M Coupe was, without a doubt, one of our favorite cars from the past few years, and according to a BMW Blog interview, Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, head of the company's M division, has confirmed that a successor is in the works.
"We haven't made a decision yet, but the 1M coupe was so successful, that in my opinion, I am absolutely sure we will build a successor," Nitschke told BMW Blog. Currently, BMW only offers the M135i version of the new 1 Series hatch in Europe, which Nitschke says is "not a pure M car."
Moving elsewhere in the M range, BMW Blog asked about the M6 Gran Coupe that recently debuted at this year's Detroit Auto Show. The obvious competitors for this car will be higher-power versions of the Porsche Panamera and Audi RS7, but while both of those offer all-wheel drive, the M6 only sends power to its rear wheels.

2015 BMW 4 Series convertibles recalled to fix airbag programming woes
Tue, Mar 31 2015A problem with the airbags on the 4 Series convertible has promoted BMW and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for some 2,000 vehicles across the United States. The issue, according to the notice below, relates to the driver's side front airbag, whose timing for deployment may be off. And if the airbag doesn't deploy at the right time in the event of a crash, that's more likely to result in an injury. As a result, BMW of North America is calling in 2,067 vehicles – specifically the 428i, 428i xDrive, 435i and 435i xDrive convertibles of the 2015 model year and manufactured between October 22, 2014, and February 27, 2015. Those units will simply need to have the software in the airbag control module reset, and will begin undertaking that process in April.Related Video: Report Receipt Date: MAR 13, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V148000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Potential Number of Units Affected: 2,067 Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC SUMMARY: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2015 428i Convertible, 428i xDrive Convertible, 435i Convertible, and 435i xDrive Convertible vehicles manufactured October 22, 2014, to February 27, 2015. Due to a programming error, the driver's front air bag deployment timing may be incorrect. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." CONSEQUENCE: If the driver's front air bag deployment timing is incorrect, there is an increased risk of personal injury in the event of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: BMW will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the air bag control module with corrected software version, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in April 2015. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
