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)

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.

Morgan Plus 8 Speedster hits the track versus BMW R Nine T

Mon, Sep 29 2014

Evo is back at it with its car-versus-bike races, following up on the all-British Jaguar/Triumph battle from last weekend with an (almost) all-BMW affair, pitting the German brand's stylish and vintage-looking R Nine T against the British-built, BMW-powered Morgan Plus 8 Speedster. Unlike last week's battle, though, we're guessing this contest will be quite a bit more even. See, the F-Type had 380 horsepower and plenty of body fat to haul about. The Morgan, though, is nearly as powerful (367 ponies) and is far lighter, at around 2,200 pounds. The BMW, meanwhile, isn't quite the track star that the lightweight Triumph Street Triple R. You'll need to check out the video to see whether two wheels or four wheels will prevail. Have a look. News Source: EVO via YouTube BMW Convertible Motorcycle Performance Videos evo

2014 BMW 740Ld xDrive does diesel in a big way

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

Slowly but surely, BMW is expanding its lineup of diesel-powered models here in the United States. In addition to the 328d sedan and wagon, 535d sedan and X5 xDrive35d crossover, we now have this, the BMW 740Ld xDrive (not to mention the refreshed 2015 X3 xDrive28d that also makes its debut here in Chicago). As its name - and the photos above - suggest, this means BMW is offering diesel power in its flagship, long-wheelbase 7 Series sedan, set to directly compete with the likes of the excellent Audi A8 TDI.
Under the hood is BMW's familiar 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel inline-six, delivering 255 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, all of which is sent to the road via the company's xDrive all-wheel-drive system and ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. That torque thrust is available straight away from 1,500 rpm, and BMW says the 740Ld xDrive will sprint to 60 miles per hour in a very respectable 6.1 seconds. Official fuel economy estimates haven't been released yet, but we expect the car to net highway fuel economy ratings in the mid-30 range.
The 740Ld xDrive arrives in BMW showrooms this spring, priced from $82,500, not including $925 for destination. We're pretty stoked to drive it. But in the meantime, have a look at fresh images of the big sedan live from the Chicago Auto Show, above.
