I am selling my 1988 BMW M5.      


The car has done 192,000 miles, it has spent its entire life in California and is completely rust free.  

My M5 has a Comforti chip and the self-leveling suspension has been replaced by a previous owner - it has Bilstein shocks all round with Dinan springs in the front and stock BMW e28 springs in the rear.  The car has BMW 17" BBS (from E39) alloys (no, I will not sell these separately).  Otherwise the car is unmodified.  

It has a brand new set of Continental tires and has just been Smogged.  The car is in great shape both mechanically and aesthetically.  I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere.  All electrics work except the occasional 'sticking' of the drivers electric wing mirror (I have a spare). The car has all manuals and complete trunk tool kit.  

Negative points (see photos):  The car has 3 cracks in the dash (however, I do have a custom made 'cover' dash which fits over the top of the old one - this will come with the car).  There is a bit of cracking of the seat leather, but no tears.  There are a few stone chips, otherwise the paintwork is excellent.     

I have removed the external badges, but I still have them and they can easily be replaced.       

I am the 4th owner and I have pampered this M5 as the previous owners have done.  I have a folder full of receipts detailing recent and past maintenance work done.  All maintenance has been addressed.  Sadly I am selling this car because I am moving back to Europe.  I would love to see the car go to someone who really appreciates these rare classics.   

There are always little imperfections that could be improved upon, but overall the car is in great condition.

You are welcome to come and view the car before bidding.  It is kept at my studio in Oakland.  Email me to arrange a viewing.    

Feel free to contact me with any questions.  I will happily provide more photos.  Please, no time wasters, serious bidders and good drivers only.  Folks with less than 5 feedback will be removed unless you convince me of your interest before bidding.   

Happy bidding and M5 owning.

2015 BMW i8 configurator is ready to show the future

Mon, 22 Sep 2014

Good news if you're one of the lucky few that can afford the new BMW i8. The high-performance hybrid's configurator has gone live on BMW USA's consumer website, meaning you can head in and customize till you drop.
If you've ever played with a BMW configurator, you'll instantly feel at home with the i8's. You have the choice of four trim packages (your author refuses to use BMW's pretentious "World" trim names), followed by wheel and exterior paint options. The interior choices are fixed to the trim level, so aside from trim, color and the choice of two wheel options, there isn't a lot to pick out on the i8.
Head on over and take a look.

BMW M4 Convertible spied with naked top and trunk

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

Our trusty spy photographers have been at it again, snagging these first images of the forthcoming BMW M4 Convertible without camouflage on its retractable roof and rear deck. You'll recall that this is not the first time we've seen the followup to the M3 Convertible, but that the last batch of images we had were encumbered by a lot more camouflage - this car is virtually naked by comparison.
Not surprisingly, the M4 looks to share its folding hardtop design with the standard 4 Series droptop, and it should operate in a similar manner as well. It's no surprise, but it looks like BMW is going to try and make the transition from M4 Coupe to M4 Convertible as effortless as previous efforts converting the M3 to an M3 Convertible. That should mean that below the beltline, this car is nearly identical to the coupe we saw in Detroit.
As for the camo'd features on these spy photos, the hood, front fascia, rear fascia, quarter panels, side sills and mirrors have all been shown on the M4 Coupe, and don't really bear mentioning. There's been no word of just where the M4 Convertible will make its debut, although considering the lack of disguise on this car, Geneva seems like a likely destination.

Which car should win 2015 World Green Car of the Year?

Wed, Apr 1 2015

There were three finalists for the World Green Car of the Year announced about a month ago at the Geneva Motor Show: the BMW i8, the Mercedes-Benz S 500 Plug-In Hybrid and the Volkswagen Golf GTE. With the New York Auto Show upon us and the winner scheduled to be announced tomorrow, we thought it's high time to ask our readers which one should win. There were seven other vehicles named to the finalists list: the Hyundai x35/Tucson Fuel Cell, the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, the Audi A3 Sportback E-Tron, the BMW X5 xDrive40e, the Kia Soul EV, the Nissan e-NV200 and the Opel Adam 1.0 Direct Injection Turbo ecoFLEX Start. Would you have named one of these to the top three list instead? POLL 14386429 Green BMW Mercedes-Benz Volkswagen 2015 ny auto show world green car of the year vw golf gte
