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

Audi to spend $17 billion to fight BMW
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It's no secret that VW Group, parent company to not only Volkswagen but also Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati brands sold in the US, is determined to become the world's largest automaker. Even more impressive is that VW is prepared to spend billions to make it happen.
With that comes word that VW Group will be spending $17 billion on its Audi brand over the next three years to push itself above rival BMW. The money will be invested in both vehicle development (including lightweight auto design and alternative powertrains) and facilities (including expansion in Hungary, China and new operations in Mexico). The luxury brand is focused on global manufacturing infrastructure.
Already Europe's best-selling luxury brand, Audi's objective is to overtake BMW by the end of the decade by selling more than two million cars per year (BMW is shooting for 1.54 million sales in 2013). If those objectives are met, VW Group should be on track to be the industry's volume leader by 2018.
BMW to follow Honda back into F1?
Mon, 14 Apr 2014The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.
These are your top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012
Mon, Jan 7 2013Despite 2012 being the best year of auto sales this country has seen since 2007, not every vehicle got an equally large share of the sales pie. Some barely got a sliver, as evidenced by this year's list of the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. We've dug through sales data from every automaker to come up with this year's list and, like last year, we've set some parameters to ensure it includes legitimately bad-selling vehicles. The first parameter is a starting MSRP under $100,000, which automatically excludes what's parked in most one-percenters' garages. We're also excluding vehicles cancelled in 2012, even if they garnered sales through the end of the year while dealerships sold off remaining inventory. This includes models like the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and last year's worst-seller, the Acura RL. Next, vehicles are considered as they are reported by the automaker, which means that, while sales of the Murano CrossCabriolet were probably low enough to make the list, because Nissan reports only one number for all Murano sales, it was excluded. Cadillac, however, reports sales of the Escalade EXT separately from the Escalade, hence its repeat appearance. Finally, there was the question of whether or not eligibility should be given to Suzuki vehicles, as the brand announced in November that it would end sales in the US as soon as its current inventory ran out. We decided Suzuki vehicles should be included as the brand was offering 2013 models at the time of the announcement, and as far as we can tell, inventory levels remained high enough to satisfy demand through the end of the year. Without further ado, below are the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. Top 10 Worst-Selling Vehicles of 2012 10. Volvo C30 MSRP: $25,500 Units Sold: 2,827 Last Year: – 9.
