1988 BMW M5

 

For sale is my M5, I purchased this vehicle with the intention of restoring it, I have since purchased another car and something has to go, unfortunately its the M5. The Car has been driven about 1000 miles since I have owned it and has been reliable. The car is very original and complete with the exception of bilstein struts/shocks. It still retains all of its VIN stickers on all the body panels so im confident it has never been in an accident. It is in need of a restoration as it is a high mileage vehicle. The odometer says 284k and is not working-- mileage is unknown, unfortunately I did not get any history on the vehicle I don't know if engine has been rebuilt/replaced , But it runs good doesn't blow any smoke, doesn't have any typical s38 start up noise and has plenty of power. Everything works a/c, lights, sunroof, door locks. I have had some mechanical work done on the car consisting of: Valve adjustment, new radiator , clutch fan and coolant flush, new pedal box, clutch master, Brake system flush, some new vacuum lines, cam cover gasket. and a recommended cleaning of all the underhood electrical plugs. and connections.

As a whole the body is straight the paint is glossy and nice- but is original and should be redone, it has rock chips, scratches small dings and dents . Interior should also be redone seats have some cracking dash has a few cracks ,ash tray is missing

What needs immediate attention:

Brake system needs to be gone through front caliper is sticking

shifter is sloppy and should have bushings replaced.

Trunk has an issue : if you open the trunk you have to play with the hinge to get it to close again , the hinge is bent and causes the trunk lid to be out of alignment.

 

Overall the car needs a complete restoration- however I considered turning it into a daily driver and just re doing the brakes, but I cant get myself to do this to the car. It should go to someone who's going to restore it.

Feel free to ask any questions , if you would like to come see the car that's fine let me know we'll set up a time.

I reserve the right to end the auction early

BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead

Fri, 02 Aug 2013


Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.

Editors’ Picks March 2023 | Hot hatch galore and some great luxury SUVs

Tue, Apr 4 2023

This month of Editors’ Picks sees us hand out a pair of nods to the best hot hatchbacks money can buy these days, the Honda Civic Type R and Toyota GR Corolla. You can read more about how they compare in our head-to-head comparison test, but both have their advantages, and we can highly recommend buying either of them. Then we head to Europe to recognize a couple of SUVs that just went through mid-cycle refreshes and came out on the other side just as lovable as they were before. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in January that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2023 Honda Civic Type R 2023 Honda Civic Type R front low View 34 Photos Quick take: The Honda Civic Type R embodies what at means to be a hot hatch. It's the best FWD car we've ever driven, and because it's a Civic, it excels with a spacious and pretty interior, too. This is the full package. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Toyota GR Corolla, VW Golf R Pros: Sublime driving dynamics, magical shifter, gorgeous and utilitarian interior Cons: An expensive proposition, lacks basic luxuries like heated seats From the editors: Senior Editor James Riswick — "The Civic Type R is a resolutely composed performance machine that sufficiently builds upon the delightful man-machine interfaces found in the increasingly impressive trio of Civic Sport Touring, Civic Si and Acura Integra A-Spec. ItÂ’s even more fun and capable at higher speeds, yet remains just as forgiving and easy to drive. The 2023 Honda Civic Type R sure seems all grown up. Maybe itÂ’s because IÂ’m almost in my 40s, (ugh) but I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. The Type R magic is not lost." In-depth analysis: 2023 Honda Civic Type R First Drive Review: All grown up isn't so bad   2023 Toyota GR Corolla 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Circuit front three quarter low View 39 Photos Quick take: The GR Corolla is a serious performance machine that is sure to please any enthusiast with its brilliant driving dynamics. It's only let down by a cheap-feeling and small interior that doesn't lend well to daily driver duty.

BMW says current M3 sold out, no new AWD M models planned

Mon, 06 May 2013

Car and Driver asked the head of BMW M, Friedrich Nitschke, a few questions about what the go-fast division had in mind for the future, and was rewarded with some enlightening answers. The best news to purist ears is that Nitschke said customers don't want all-wheel drive on their M cars, so it's the rear wheels alone that will propel new product into the future. If you want both an M badge and four driven wheels, it's the X5 M, X6 M and M Performance models you're looking for in the catalog.
"Mixed bag" is the phrase you're looking for regarding the other answers. Nitschke said that future M engines "at the core of their architecture" would "be closer to BMW AG engines" that are optimized for M cars, instead of following in the line of unique marvels like the V10 and naturally aspirated V8. They will keep the high redlines, however, with Nitschke saying "there is room beyond" the 7,000 rpm mark in BMW's current V8 turbos.
Managing weight will keep the same priority for M that it is for every other brand, so electrically assisted power steering is coming, as is an "unconventional" materials mix. At the smaller end of the M scale, Nitschke described three-cylinder engines as "attractive," saying that the brand can produce more than 310 horsepower from a three-pot.
