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.
Timing chain parts are still orginal but I replaced all front end components with Lemforder parts last year.
Car burns absolutely no oil but does leak a bit. An overview of other maintenance is below. I have a crack free dash that goes with the car as well.
Compression numbers are as follows:
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.

And that the radiator leaks when cold. PO states he never added coolant between services and neither have I. Don't see any seepage either. I am thinking they pressure tested the car when it was cold maybe.
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.

2015 BMW M4 Coupe
Mon, 12 May 2014Launched out of the seat by a huge, unexpected dip in the road, yet still held largely in place by the smooth webbing of my safety belt, I clench my teeth waiting to come back to earth. A tenth of a second later, the M4 Coupe touches down and my body is slammed into the leather seat cushion. All of the air is forced out of my lungs upon landing, but the BMW's chassis, suspension and steering appear unfazed. Pleasantly surprised, I mash the accelerator to the floor in giddy pursuit of the car in front of me - an absolutely identical 2015 BMW M4 coupe.
A cavorting game of cat-and-mouse on a desolate twisty canyon in southern Portugal is an excellent way to explore the real-world driving dynamics and performance of BMW's all-new M4 Coupe. But to truly push it to the limit - without having to worry about oversize depressions in the asphalt - requires a dedicated racetrack. Graciously, my hosts have rented the famed Autódromo Internacional do Algarve racetrack, or Portimão circuit, for an afternoon of automotive debauchery.
It's hard to believe this passes for work.

BMW 2 Series caught uncovered during shoot
Thu, 16 May 2013Before we know it, the BMW 1 Series will be no more in the United States. Well, sort of. The current six-year-old coupe and convertible will be replaced by the fancy new 2 Series you see here, spotted completely uncovered during a photo shoot, with the 1 Series nomenclature being reserved for the hatchback and GT models that might not ever make it Stateside.
The roofline of the new 2 Series doesn't appear to have to changed all that much from the current 1 Series coupe, but the front and rear fascias have indeed been smoothed out. (Truth time: As much as your author adores the 1 Series, he's always found its rear end to be, well, weird.) It looks good, seen here in M235i guise, with large wheels, slimmer headlamps and large air intakes on either side of the front fascia.
The 2 Series is expected to come to the States, likely in M235i and 228i variants, though rumors suggest that we won't get a non-M 235i model. The M235i is expected to be powered by the N55 turbocharged inline-six that we currently enjoy in the 335i sedan, producing something like 320 horsepower. The 228i, unsurprisingly, should use the 2.0-liter turbo-four from the 328i, making around 240 hp. Both engines will almost certainly employ eight-speed automatic transmissions and six-speed manuals.
