Up for sale is my 1988 BMW M5. I bought the car late 2011 from it's original owner in Alameda, California and had it shipped to Baltimore. The car is all original with the exception of the suspension which has been replaced with a Dinan Stage 1 kit and the wheels which are E34 M5 without the covers.
1)220# 2)220# 3)220# 4)230# 5)225# 6)230#
Chain and guides are original. Absolutely no slap or rattle at start up. If the next owner has money to burn, go ahead.
Personally, I would wait until the vehicle showed symptoms before i would replace them.
SLS as well as front springs and shocks replaced 3/18/03 with Dinan Stage 1 at a cost of $1,938. Mileage was 102,786.
Driver's seat hip bolster is bent towards the driver's door. Most are. Shoulder bolster shows average wear. Carpet is as perfect as 23 year old carpet can be. No stains, tears, or wear spots. This summer I removed the seats and used a hot water extractor to clean the carpets. Back seat looks like it was never used. Passenger front has no significant wear.
Original wheels and spare. Wheels have been professionally refinished by Wheels America on 11/5/02 at a cost of $444.92
Dash has several cracks all centered around the top air vent. Again, what E28 doesn't.
The amazing documentation includes EVERY SINGLE REPAIR RECORD.
In addition to window sticker, delivery checklist, original invoice, all keys, anti theft radio card, "The Ultimate Driving Machine" front plastic tag, etc. Original sales brochure for the E28 M5 as well the E30 M3. I guess the PO considered both.
As far as front end parts. Upper and lower control arms, inner and outer tie rods, center link, idler arm. Upper control arms were torqued on the alignment rack when the vehicle had weight on them. They have the 750 bushings. Lower control arms are aluminum. I also replaced rear dogbones but not rear subframe bushings. Those bushings come with the car. I didn't replace them as I couldn't justify the expense.
Tool kit is complete down to the unused blue rag.
Paint is getting thin as there are spots were the M strips have been rubbed through.
Valve cover "seeps". Top of the engine IS NOT wet. Oil pan is wet and it's gasket could stand to be replaced. Car DOES NOT mark it's territory.
Radiator is original to the car. Water pump was replaced at 66,676 on 06/04/97 at a cost of $479.07
Fuel lines are original.
Car last passed smog on 1/20/11 @ 114,014 at a cost of $110.75. Work was done by Speedy Smog in Alameda, CA.
Cats are original.
A/C is still R12 and works great.
Clutch was replaced on 11/22/02 @ 100,708 at a cost of $1,585.18. Transmission fluid was replaced and shifter was rebuilt at this time.
Front rotors done 5/25/04 @ 104,619 at a cost of $387.39
Suspension is tight but I think the car could use some extra camber for better turn in and stability. If I keep it I will install "crash mounts". Rear differential mount is about due.
Stereo is original. Tape deck does not work and radio "crackles" when you change the volume. I don't use it much as the S38 is enough music for me.
Recommendations that Bavarian Professionals made were that the pedal box is cracked. It feels fine to me and shifts great.
Also says that there is a little play in the water pump bearing. It is very little play but I bought a new water pump any way. It comes with the car.
Any and all questions will be answered.
Thanks for looking and check out my other auctions!
On Mar-05-13 at 20:52:00 PST, seller added the following information:
Car currently has a custom "track" pipe installed but comes with stock center section. I will also include brand new "euro" headers and a new VSR high flow center section with cats.

Recharge Wrap-up: first Chevy Volt hits 200K miles, DriveNow launches in London with BMW i3 on deck
Mon, Dec 8 2014The first Chevrolet Volt has driven over 200,000 miles. According to the owner, Erick Belmer, the car, which he purchased on March 28, 2012, is "holding up flawlessly" with "no noticeable battery capacity loss." Belmer has a commute of about 220 miles per day, rotates his tires every 10,000 miles, and gets an oil change every 38,000 miles. Belmer still loves driving his "dream car" every day, and says it is "wonderfully engineered." Read more at Inside EVs. DriveNow has launched in London, and will include the BMW i3 as part of its carsharing fleet. Daimler shut down its Car2go operations there just six months ago. Currently, DriveNow members have access to the BMW 1 Series and Mini Countryman, but come spring of 2015, DriveNow, which is a joint venture between BMW and Sixt SE, will add 30 all-electric i3 EVs to its London service. DriveNow's rates for London are set at 39 pence per minute, with an hourly maximum cost of GBP20 (about 61 US cents and $31, respectively). The service currently operates in the boroughs of Islington, Haringey and Hackney, with hopes of expanded service in the near future. Read more at Hybrid Cars or at Reuters. FIA's Formula E electric racing championship series received the Autosport award for Pioneering and Innovation. The award ceremony was a black-tie event at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag accepted the award. "Many people in motorsport, when we started Formula E, didn't think we would make the first race," says Agag. "To announce we were doing a championship with cars that didn't then exist was a real challenge. But after that first race in Beijing, everything worked." Read more at Formula E's website. The Nissan Leaf has driven over a billion collective kilometers. That's more than 621.3 million miles. Nissan said in August that it expected to reach that mark by January, and it has done just that. To celebrate, Nissan Europe has created a video to thank its 147,000 Leaf drivers to bring the car to that substantial milestone in less than four years. Check out the video below.

BMW X1 EV for Zinoro spotted
Tue, 04 Jun 2013BMW has teamed up with Chinese automaker Brilliance Automotive to create a joint venture in China, called Zinoro, and it appears that an all-electric version of the X1 crossover is to be the brand's first model. Spotted testing in Munich, these spy shots show a more camouflaged version of the X1 EV that we saw back in April.
Comparing these latest spy shots, we can see that the Zinoro model will wear a completely unique front fascia that ditches BMW's trademark grille, but few other changes seem to be taking place. Previous reports indicate that this Zinoro EV could go on sale in China early next year.
2014 BMW i3
Thu, 24 Oct 2013We can only imagine the challenges BMW is going to have explaining the i3 electric vehicle to the world. It's got a new powertain (all-electric, with optional range extender), a new production method (carbon fiber reinforced plastic!), a new brand (the 'i' line) and a new vehicle type (it's a city car). Despite everything that's different, BMW is still trying to talk about the i3 as if it fits in with the rest of the company's vehicles. But it doesn't. Not really. And that's going to make the marketing and salespeoples' jobs quite difficult.
Which is a shame, really, since the i3 is amazing. If it didn't carry the BMW 'heritage' baggage, people would be falling over each other to sing its praises. This is one of the smoothest, roomiest and slickest electric vehicles we've ever driven, with a lot of hidden surprises. It is a wonderful city car, and well designed for the car-sharing, emissions-aware drivers of the near future. But since the i3 carries the BMW name, everyone we ran into while cruising the narrow streets of and flat countryside around Amsterdam in a Euro-spec i3 recently wanted to know one thing: is it "a BMW" as well as being an electric car? During one photo shoot, a police car pulled up next to us, totally stopping traffic. While my co-driver and I instantly thought we were going to be asked to move, the officer simply wanted to know what the scoop was about all the i3s he had seen that day. Oh, and does it drive like a BMW?
We'll answer that question in detail below. The most important thing to remember is that the BMW i3 comes from the new "i" sub-brand within BMW. Like Mini, the i line really is a different beast, despite the roundel's presence. So, what makes a BMW a BMW? The answer is as easy as ABC. Or, in this case, as simple as Bayerische Motoren Werke, or Bavarian Motor Works.
