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 to pay $1.6M, rehire workers in discrimination settlement

Thu, Sep 10 2015

A BMW subsidiary is on the hook for $1.6 million and must rehire workers as part of a settlement for a race discrimination lawsuit with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. A change in BMW Manufacturing's criminal background check policy at the Spartanburg, SC, factory disproportionately affected African American workers, according to the EEOC, and it cost many people their jobs. The automaker has since changed the policy. According to Automotive News, the suit stemmed from BMW switching logistics contractors at the plant in 2008. As a result, 645 existing workers had to submit revised criminal background checks to keep their jobs. About 100 people didn't meet the new guidelines, according to the EEOC, and they lost their jobs. Around 80 percent of those affected were African American. According to the government agency's complaint, the altered procedures only took into account the category of a crime, not factors like when it occurred or whether the infraction was a misdemeanor or felony. With the settlement accepted by US District Court, BMW must offer work to the affected employees in this case and as many as 90 African American applicants that the contractor didn't hire because of the rules. The automaker also must offer training in the proper manner for criminal background checks. While there's nothing inherently wrong with investigating workers, "when a criminal background screen results in the disproportionate exclusion of African-Americans from job opportunities, the employer must evaluate whether the policy is job related and consistent with a business necessity," P. David Lopez, the EEOC's General Counsel, said in the agency's release, which you can read below. BMW to Pay $1.6 Million and Offer Jobs to Settle Federal Race Discrimination Lawsuit Company's Criminal Background Policy Disproportionately Affected African-American Logistics Workers, EEOC Charged GREENVILLE, S.C. - The U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina today entered a consent decree ordering BMW Manufacturing Co., LLC (BMW) to pay $1.6 million and provide job opportunities to alleged victims of race discrimination as part of the resolution of a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Hamann BMW M6 Mirror can now cash the checks its body writes

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Anyone remember the Hamann Mirror? Need a refresher? The Mirror is German tuning company Hamann's idea of a BMW M6. It was shown at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show as an M6 Gran Coupe, sporting a ridiculous paint job and some meaty, multi-spoke 21-inch wheels.
Consider this car the Mirror Mark 2. Based on the M6 Coupe, Hamann has applied a similar visual theme, using the same 21-inch wheels from 2013. Whereas the Gran Coupe rode around with a stock powertrain, though, there's been no such restraint with the two-door Mirror. A fine 620 horsepower is available from the 4.4-liter, biturbocharged V8, an increase of 60 horsepower. Torque is up as well, from 501 pound-feet to a whopping 560, meaning this M6 has speed to match its looks. Hamann claims the Mirror's newfound grunt allows it to hit 62 miles per hour faster than the standard M6 (we'd certainly hope so), although it won't mention a specific number.
The suspension, meanwhile, has been dropped 1.37 inches, or about a third of an inch lower than the Frankfurt Mirror. That drop is complemented by the Mirror's bodywork, including the exposed, carbon fiber hood and the flared fenders, which can now accommodate the enormous 305/25 rear rubber. Hamann has also paid some attention to the front and rear aerodynamics.

Next BMW 7 Series interior spotted

Mon, Nov 24 2014

The next BMW 7 Series looks to be leading a rather dramatic change of the company's interior styling, judging by this new series of spy photos. In the trio of shots, we can see that the next 7 Series will replace the high-quality plastic buttons of the brand's iDrive, HVAC and secondary audio controls with some very, very pretty aluminum pieces. We can also see what looks like haptic touch controls for some of the HVAC systems. While the 7 Series interior has never been bad, it's lagged notably behind the Audi A8 and new Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This brightwork should be taken as a good sign, then, that BMW is preparing to take the fight to its countrymen. Aside from the handsome new switchgear, the large, wide nav screen looks like a pop-up unit, while it appears to be running a new version of the company's infotainment system. These spy photos also give us our most detailed look at the 7 Series' new laser headlights. According to our spies, these will be an optional extra, while LED headlights will be standard. The high-output lights will flank a wider pair of kidney grilles that our spies claim will give the 7 a sportier look. Changes in back are still camouflaged, although our shooters claim the new lamps will be more angular than the current car's. Expect the next 7 Series to make its debut in the second half of 2015, which could indicate a debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
