Up for sale is my beloved 1991 M5 build date 02/90. Last 7 of VIN is BK05912. This car was originally a Hawaii car and was brought here in the early 2000's and therefore has NO RUST. The car is up to date on all services and I have done extensive repairs and maintenance since I took ownership slightly over three years ago. I bought the car with 179k miles and it currently has 199k miles so I only put on about 6k miles per year. I have receipts totaling over $40k to make this one of the best driving e34 ///M5's on the road. As you will see in one of the pictures I have a 3 inch thick binder filled with receipts. Everything works on this car as is should including the cruise control as well.

-Optima Blue Top Battery (no flickering lights when running stereo)
-Total Cost for stereo installation with stereo components was $4400
-Custom battery wire ran to and hidden in trunk in case battery dies, since these cars have electronic locks and the battery is under the rear seat, you can put power to the battery through the trunk in order to get into the car to jump start it.

-Stainless Steel Brake and Clutch Lines
-Various Trim Pieces

NOW THE BEST PART...I JUST SPENT 9 MONTHS HAVING THE CAR PROFESSIONALLY PAINTED. THE WHOLE CAR WAS PAINTED WITH THE GLASS OUT MINUS THE DOOR JAMBS BECAUSE THEY WERE STILL IN GREAT SHAPE. THE CAR WAS PAINTED FACTORY GLANSCHWARZ WITH SIKKENS GERMAN PAINT AND 3 LAYERS OF CLEAR. EVERYTHING WAS REPLACED WHEN THE CAR WAS PAINTED

-They forgot to install the shadowline pieces that run along the top lower portion of the door on both sides. 

MAINTENANCE JUST PERFORMED!!

-Winter wheels with Michelin Snows put on the car
-4 Wheel Alignment Performed
-R/F Xenon went out due to ballast failure, ballast replaced (6000k Xenons)

UPDATE 4.5.13
-I just put the summer wheels back on the car and mounted 4 Brand New matching Yokohama S.drive 235/45/17 tires. Since the inside of the wheels are black, when I had them balanced, I had them use custom black weights so you cannot see them. Also all the valve stems were replaced. (cost $600)
-Also the Right Rear Passenger door panel started to delaminate so I just had that repaired. (cost $250)

SO NOW I JUST SPENT ABOUT ANOTHER $850 ON THE CAR AND ALSO LOWERED THE ASKING PRICE 

Current Mileage 203,102

A couple of issues with the car. There are two small tears in the driver's seat one on the lower outer bolster and one on the right side of the thigh support. They have not gotten any worse in the past three years and haven't bothered me. 

All in all this is a great car and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. It is one of the strongest running e34 ///M5's I have ever driven. I already have a weekend toy and I need a truck so I am buying a Range Rover as a daily driver so this ///M5 NEEDS TO GO ASAP. 

Asking $12,900 OBO, Motivated Seller...DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS ONE, YOU WILL NOT FIND ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT FOR A LONG TIME IF EVER.

PRICE LOWERED $11,500 OBO

Thanks
Drew

    Forget about greenlighting it, BMW is already testing the M2

    Thu, 08 May 2014

    One week ago, we reported, with some skepticism, that BMW had greenlit a car we've been waiting for since the 1 Series M Coupe was discontinued - the M2. Now, we have the first images of that new hotshot underoing testing in Germany.
    What's our reasoning here? After all, this just looks like an M235i. Well, that camo is disguising swollen fenders designed to conceal wider tires. Now, these aren't production changes, and it's very likely that the eventual M2's fenders will look quite a bit different. According to our spy, the front fenders have been borrowed from the M235i Racing, while the rears are from an unknown source.
    Our spies are also quick to point out a few other high-performance items on this mule. The cross-drilled brakes and blue M calipers are one such item, although we aren't sure how much they differ from the optional stoppers on the production M235i. The black wheels are borrowed from the M3 and M4, and are shod in what look like a sticky set of Michelin tires.

    These are the cars with the best and worst depreciation after 5 years

    Thu, Nov 19 2020

    The average new vehicle sold in America loses nearly half of its initial value after five years of ownership. No surprise there; we all expect that shiny new car to start depreciating as soon as we drive it off the lot. But some vehicles lose value a lot faster than others. According to data provided by iSeeCars.com, trucks and truck-based sport utility vehicles generally hold their value better than other vehicle types, with the Jeep Wrangler — in both four-door Unlimited and standard two-door styles — and Toyota Tacoma sitting at the head of the pack. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited's average five-year depreciation of 30.9% equals a loss in value of $12,168. That makes Jeep's four-door off-roader the best overall pick for buyers looking to minimize depreciation. The Toyota Tacoma's 32.4% loss in initial value means it loses just $10,496. The smaller dollar amount — the least amount of money lost after five years — indicates that Tacoma buyers pay less than Wrangler Unlimited buyers, on average, when they initially buy the vehicle. The standard two-door Jeep Wrangler is third on the list, depreciating 32.8% after five years and losing $10,824. Click here for a full list of the top 10 vehicles with the least depreciation over five years. On the other side of the depreciation coin, luxury sedans tend to plummet in value at a much faster rate than other vehicle types. The BMW 7 Series leads the losers with a 72.6% drop in value after five years, which equals an alarming $73,686. BMW's slightly smaller 5 Series is next, depreciating 70.1%, or $47,038, over the same period. Number three on the biggest losers list is the Nissan Leaf, the only electric vehicle to appear in the bottom 10. The electric hatchback matches the 5 Series with a 70.1% drop in value, but since it's a much cheaper vehicle, that percentage equals a much smaller $23,470 loss.

    Did BMW drag its feet on Mini recall?

    Mon, Sep 28 2015

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into BMW's reporting of a recall for 30,456 examples of the 2014-2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop, Cooper S, and the 2015 John Cooper Works. According to the government, "it appears from a review of NHTSA's databases that BMW may have failed to submit recall communications to NHTSA in a timely manner." The automaker issued the recall in July because crash tests showed the models didn't meet side impact requirements for passengers in the back seat. While there were no reported injuries at the time, the company decided to install energy-absorbing material in the space between the rear interior panels and the exterior. However, NHTSA has decided to investigate whether this campaign should have started much earlier, given the evidence the company had. According to the government's report, the Cooper Hardtop failed side-impact tests in 2014, although one of these tests was five-miles-per-hour faster than the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The agency claims: "In January 2015 BMW verbally committed that it would conduct a service campaign to add padding to the rear side panels of MY 2015 Mini 2 Door Hardtop Cooper models. However, BMW did not initiate the service campaign and failed to inform NHTSA of its failure to do so." A subsequent crash test of an example with this fix showed it to make the vehicle compliant with the rules. Mini spokesperson Mariella Kapsaskis told Autoblog: "Regarding the NHTSA audit query, BMW Group is evaluating the request and will respond to NHTSA as appropriate." INVESTIGATION Subject : BMW Reporting & Timely Recall Execution Date Investigation Opened: SEP 24, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: AQ15004 Component(s): STRUCTURE All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) MINI COOPER 2014-2015 MINI COOPER S 2014-2015 MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS 2015 Details Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC SUMMARY: NHTSA is opening this AQ to better understand and evaluate BMW's process(es) for its notification procedures and for timely and efficient execution of its safety recall campaigns. In mid-2014, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) had side impact moving deformable barrier (MDB) tests performed on two model year (MY) 2014 Mini 2 Door Hardtop Coopers. These two tests were performed at a speed 5 mph higher than required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 214, Side impact protection.
