REAL DEAL DINAN STROKER SUPERCAR DONE AT DINAN SHOP

This is the HOLY GRAIL of E34 M5'S. As per Dinan only a handful ever done and maybe 1 of 1 in color and options.  This is not a mats and accy's Dinan badge car. This is a car that was taken to Dinan at approx 38k to be turned into a super car with 4drs. In 1991 dollars almost $90k was spent on this car inc purchase price. Thats Ferrari money in 1991.

 Was taken to Dinan to have a Stage 2 Dinan stroker, complete suspension with SLS delete and their brake upgrade. Also has Dinan camber plates. Stroker included new engine and 1 camshaft. Orig docs state stage 1 but orig owner states stage 2. I was told this was done for smog purposes. I have pics of cams and was told not stock as lobes have chamfer on edges. Honestly there is no reason he would lie as he provided every receipt and invoice for the car. Also one drive and you will be convinced. Suspension includes springs, shocks, struts, SLS delete and adjustable sway bars. Brakes include Dinan upgraded calipers and lager rotors. At 4k she just gets going, suspension will hang with 911's and was one of the best braking cars of it's era.

  Car comes with 1" of receipts from almost day one. I am not that great at keeping part receipts so if I say it is new you can obviously see they are new. No I don't have a stamped book on a 25 year old car. Basically everything that can be a wear item has been addressed at least once if not 2x's if needed. This is a car you get in, turn the key and drive across country with no issues.

 That said it is a 25 year old car that was BMW'S hot rod. These cars are noisy, shake, smell just like a real Hot Rod. It is a raw driving experience and is why purists pay premiums for them. Be realistic in your expectations. I am honest seller that uses car DAILY! Ask any of the other car owners for sale if their car can be used daily. There is a HUGE difference in a car that is worked out and one that is dolled up but has hidden issues.

  Below is list of items changed in approx last 10k miles. Please note add up the cost even if you did yourself and you almost have the asking price of the car. 

Tires BF Goodrich under 500 miles. 245 fronts and 275 rear 17x8.5 and 17x10 rear rims. Rims through F Fahey and he clearenced rear and rolled lips. They fit perfectly and have perfect tire wear on old and this set. FFahey also did an alignment.
MK Motorsport wheels. I know chrome is not everybody's deal and isn't mine. They are light and fit pertly. You can have powder coated.
Hood and trunk shocks all 4
Radiator, ALL hoses, water pump, thermostat, BMW anti freeze (vac drained and filled) 
fan clutch

a/c service NOT a Pep Boys $5 can redo. A/C Is cold and doesn't leak.

  Also recent complete rontrt end and brakes maybe 20k miles. Car has been well maintained and drives super nice with no e34 wander on suspension brake shudder. All windows operate. No seat twist. I use car daily to take kids to school. No drama just turn key and go. 

 What car needs: paint, it has clear coat fade and lifting. All panels have vin except hood but it's number has fallen off and by the looks of it I would say orig one, lower engine shields put back on. Have new hardware. Front piece has torn hole installs with zip tie, about time for chain tensioner new upgraded one is included but not installed, radio does not work and i have no idea why as it just shut down. i have code card. Couple exhaust hanger rubber I have new ones from BMW. SRS light cam on when I was cleaning car. I accidentally caught sensor on cloth and it undid connection. I will have rest or credit $100. There are NO issues it is the sensor being unconnected. Has rear oil drain small leak, $5 part or $200 repair. They all leak do research.

  CA buyers, it has passed smog every year since new in CA. I have tons of regi's and smog receipts. It is currently has a 2015 refi tag. That said I hate smog or anything to do with it. It has passed for 25 years and will be delivered AS IS. NOTHING was done to car to indicate it wouldn't pass today but at this price I would rather not get involved. Any other state zero issues. Also I do not have front plate and have to go to DMV to get front plate. I WOULD RATHER DO OUT OF CA SALE AND WILL DISCOUNT FOR THAT.  If you live in CA you understand.

  Nice car that can easily compete with the $25k cars with a paint job.Always a CA car.  I have been quoted $3500 and $5000 to have painted. Price reflects this. Again this is not a stock M5. It is not a backyard install it was done at Dinan and is not just a badge car it is the real deal all you can get Dinan super car. There is no other car that is as road and track capable as this car for the money.

  Why am I selling? I have medical issues that do not allow me to enjoy the car anymore. Time to pay 5x's for a car that is half as capable.

  PLEASE SERIOUS ONLY.  You win, you own end of story. i DO NOT ACCEPT ANY EXCUSES I DO NOT CARE WHAT IT IS IF YOU HIT BUY IT NOW. IT IS A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT. I will gladly assist any serious buy in any way I can but do not assume anything if you have a special request. 

This is a $12k car not a $120k new one please be respectful and read above before asking questions. Long winded?? Yes, but it should answer. 99% of questions.

WITH BUY IT NOW I WILL THROW IN A RADAR DETECTOR (CAR WIRED FOR IT), A $300 CAR COVER AND A CASE OF OIL. Thats about a $800.00

  Thanks and get to bidding!!!

Thu, Oct 6 2016

The Renault-Nissan Alliance has been chosen to provide a fleet of electric cars for the UN's COP22 Climate Conference in Marrakesh, Morocco. The group will provide 50 passenger EVs – the Renault Zoe, Nissan Leaf, and Nissan e-NV200 – to shuttle delegates to and from conference venues. The Alliance will also provide more than 20 charging stations to support the shuttle fleet. The group provided electric shuttles for the historic COP21 summit in Paris last year.

Massive Airbag Recall Affects Seven Automakers

Mon, Jun 23 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a role in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time. BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall. Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the NHTSA found that moisture played a roll in determining if there would be a problem. Ford is recalling an estimated 58,669 cars that include the 2005-2006 model years of the Ford GT for the driver and passenger inflators, the 2007-2007 model years of the Mustang for the driver side and 2004 Ranger for the passenger side. It covers vehicles originally sold or currently registered in, wait for it... Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands. Honda is issuing three separate recalls regarding the problem. First, the company is recalling the 2002-2003 model years Civic, CR-V and Odyssey and the 2003 model year of the Accord, Element, Pilot and Acura MDX to replace the passenger's side inflator. This covers all models nationwide. Second, Honda is repairing the passenger's side airbag inflator in the 2003-2005 Accord, Civic, CR-V, Element, Pilot, the 2003-2004 model year versions of the Odyssey, the 2003-2005 model year Acura MDX and 2005 Acura RL. However, only for vehicles located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Owners will be notified in July. Finally, Honda is separately replacing some models' driver's side inflators.

BMW reveals M4 safety car with innovating water injection system [w/video]

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Racing series don't just pick their safety cars at random, or use just whatever car is lying around. These days the car that sets the pace at the front of the pack is typically provided through consideration by a sponsor. In the MotoGP series, that's BMW and its M division, which have served up the Official Car of MotoGP since 1999. What you're looking at is the latest, and it packs some innovative technology on board. Aside from the matte black wrap with BMW's iconic striped livery, upgraded aero kit, retrofitted interior and emergency equipment, this BMW M4 coupe packs a new injection system under the hood. Only instead of injecting fuel, it injects water into the combustion chamber – something that wouldn't usually be recommended, but BMW insists actually aids in the combustion process. The idea is that the temperature of the air being mixed with the fuel inside the engine is usually hotter than ideal, so the system injects a fine mist of water into the collector in order to reduce the air's temperature... sort of like one of those hydrating misters at an amusement park or outdoor mall, but in an even hotter environment. The system brings the temperature of the air down to a more optimal temperature, helping it combust better. The process is said to yield a number of positive effects. For one, it reduces knocking. For another, it can make more out of lower-octane fuel where higher octane isn't available. It also can control the adverse effects of higher ambient temperature on the combustion process. But most of all, it increases output and reduce fuel consumption by around eight percent. Whether that eight percent is worth the added weight of the system – particularly with water pump and a 1.3-gallon tank in the trunk – is up for debate. But we'd imagine that the Bavarian engineers have weighed very carefully. Of course there's also the matter of refilling the water tank, which BMW says would be carried out whenever the safety car is refueled, but in real-world conditions would only necessitate attention once every five top-ups at the gas station. By now you might have guessed that BMW probably didn't develop this system just for the MotoGP safety car, and isn't planning on keeping it confined to the racetrack. Instead it's being tested and demonstrated on the safety car before being rolled out on production models in the future.
