Purchased this car not long ago in hopes of slowly restoring the car as I enjoy it, but I have another project in mind and selling this will help fund it(another ///M car and my first motorcycle!) If you have questions don't hesitate to ask, happy to take more photos as well. I will try to represent the car as openly as possible, but its often easy to forget a few details.

The car has been maintained well by every owner and it shows(a thick booklet of receipts...), seems like everything has been gone over once, some things multiple times. Overall its a great running example that has a few blemishes here and there, but still looks great even from 5 feet away. Over the summer I took the car on a 1700 mile road trip, as well as a few cabin trips and it had no problem doing so. If you are in the market for an E28 M5 you will have found that a $5000 car can easily be a $20,000 car, this one is a car you can enjoy right away and change it as it suits. The car is also very clean, including frequent washings, treating of all rubber seals, interior detailing and never bringing food into the car. My immediate plans were to re-cover the aging interior parts, have the light rust treated over the winter, and order custom coilover suspension to improve ride and handling.

Recent Maintenance(last 1000 miles):
Motul 15w50 engine oil
New OEM air filter
Motul 75w80 Transmission fluid
Motul 75/90 Rear Differential fluid
Spark Plugs
Fan clutch

Notes:
Tires are nearly new Hankook Ventus V12
Most electronics work: Seat adjusments, windows, sunroof, check panel, on board computer are the most notable that often aren't working.
AC needs to be recharged.
Do not know the code for the radio, but after entering 5 characters it beeps, and the antenna raises and lowers when its turned on, presumably it works.
Most of the front suspension replaced with new Lemforder parts by previous owner, still in great shape.
From what I can tell non-smoker, no smell and the ash trays look new.
Central locking only works from trunk.
The engine was replaced, currently it has 87,000 miles.
At some point someone got carried away with an orbital polisher, on edges the paint has been slightly worn off revealing the primer.
Rust has started under the two front jack points, and slightly on the adjacent panels, its minor at this point. I was quoted $1100 to fix. Other than this its very clean, with no rust under the doors, in the trunk, or the damper mounts.
There are several small door dings around the car.
All panels have VIN sticker suggesting no serious accidents.
Front drivers side bumper cover is slightly cracked.
Dash is cracked, as has some of the leather has as well.
Trunk spring needs replacing.

Things changed from stock:
Turner Motorsports Conforti Chip
Koala LSD rear rebuild (3.91:1)
UUC motorsports shifter
Paul Grey Thrust Arm bushes
E34 Rear brakes
Stainless Brakes lines
Front brake ducts

For the buy it now price I will complete the following(had parts already as I was planning on keeping the car):
New front rotors and pads(currently slightly warped and I don't like the pads, loud when cold)
Flex disk
Powerflex front sway bar bushings
Lemforder front end links
Powerflex rear sway bar bushings
Valve adjustment(due in 3000 miles)

Recharge Wrap-up: Nissan Leaf in Puerto Rico, BMW i3 REx tax-free in NJ, BC2BC cancelled [UPDATE]

Tue, Jul 22 2014

*UPDATE: Nissan has released a video of the Leaf in Puerto Rico, so we've embedded it below. Envia Systems will develop battery technology for United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC), a subsidiary of the United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR). The $7.7 million contract, co-funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE), involves a 36-month development program focusing on high-energy cathode and anode material for lithium-ion batteries and pouch cells for electric vehicles. The goal, of course, is to create better energy storage for less money in an effort to make commercial EVs more efficient and affordable. For the DOE, this also equates to energy security, energy independence and national security. Read more in the press release at the bottom of the page. The US and China have agreed to work together more closely on EVs, energy and climate issues. US Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz went to Beijing for the sixth US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue to meet with leaders. While there, Moniz and Wu Xinxiong of China's National Energy Administration (NEA) signed a memorandum of understanding allowing the DOE and NEA to share information regarding oil reserves. The groups will meet yearly to learn more about how each other manages petroleum stockpiles and policy. Moniz also met with Minister Miao Wei of the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and signed an MOU to cooperate on electric vehicles and "related technologies," including the "inter-operability of electric vehicles." Read more at the Energy Department website. August's BC2BC all-electric vehicle rally, billed as the largest gathering of electric vehicles, has been cancelled. The event, which was to include a drive up the entire coast from Mexico to British Columbia with smaller events along the route, failed to bring in the needed sponsorship to hold the rally for its third year. A Facebook post from organizer Tony Williams also cited loss of venue and lack of support from automakers - "particularly Nissan and Tesla" - as hardships. The event was scheduled to take place August 9 through 17, with only battery electric vehicles invited to take part - no plug-in hybrids or range-extended vehicles. Williams said he'd only try a similar event in the future if sponsorship were provided up front. Read more at Green Car Reports. The Nissan Leaf will finally go on sale in Puerto Rico.

BMW bringing special Horse Edition 7 Series to Beijing

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

The Beijing Motor Show is just a couple of weeks away, and BMW wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to show off its latest wares to one of its most vital markets. So when the doors open in Beijing, BMW will showcase the new 2 Series Active Tourer, 2 Series Coupe, M3 and M4, 4 Series Gran Coupe and X4. It will also introduce the i3 and i8 to China for the first time. But those are all models we've seen already. What's new is... wait for it... the 7 Series Horse Edition.
Not celebrating horses so much as the Year of the Horse, this special edition 7 Series is based on the long-wheelbase model and comes with all manner of M equipment packages, a special paint job from BMW Individual and unique touches inside and out. BMW isn't saying which engine it features, but it sells the series in China in 730Li, 740Li, 750Li, 760Li and ActiveHybrid forms, with rear- or all-wheel drive. Given that the one pictured is wearing an xDrive badge, it would have to be either the 740Li or 750Li, but buyers will presumably be able to order it in whichever spec they desire.
While it may not be as exciting as the 9 Series concept BMW is rumored to have lined up for the Beijing show as well, you can bet that the Bavarian automaker will find plenty of buyers for this extra-special, extra-Chinese, extra-equestrian luxury sedan, and command a healthy premium from each and every one of them.
