1993 Bmw M5 Base Sedan 4-door 3.6l on 2040-cars
Lenoir City, Tennessee, United States
1993 BMW M5 Calypso Red! After several years of ownership, it is time to put my trusty E34 M5 up for sale. It is my understanding that this is one of two Calypso Red '93 M5s imported to the US. Why am I selling: I have too many vehicles, and too many projects. Something has to go. What's wrong with it? Considering the mileage, surprisingly little. It does NOT currently run. The front crank hub went out on it (a common E34, S38B36 occurrence). As the crank hub contains the Crank Position Wheel, it will not run. Also, the vehicle has minor hail damage, and the driver's seat bolster is beginning to tear. Finally, the inserts on the door cards are starting to pull away, and the headliner and packing shelf material have started to pull. What's good about it? A lot! The engine has good compression (see photos), no particles in the oil, and no sludge or varnish in the cam areas. The transmission shifted very nicely, and the clutch felt good. It has a new radiator (last fall), and a new A/C condenser (just before the crank hub went). The A/C has been converted to 134A, and blows nice and cold! Like most S38B36 engines, it does seep some oil in the came chain area, but it doesn't gush or leave unsightly puddles. The car is, for the most part, all original. It wears most of its original paint (it was involved in a minor accident requiring the rear bumper and left rear quarter panel to be repainted). The carpet should clean up nicely, as should most of the leather. While it was running, everything worked. All window motors function (the passenger rear needs attention). The power seat function properly (including the power headrests). And both the cassette and CD players function properly. The radio display is going bad, however. The wheels were refinished when it was in the shop for the bumper, and the throwing star centers do come with the car. They have not been refinished, but are in good shape. The tires are in great shape (Michelins) with around 70% of their tread left. If you're looking for a good car to fix up over he winter, I don't think you can go wrong with this one. If you're looking for cheap transportation, please look elsewhere. This car needs some work. It's mostly labor, and a handy car guy or gal should have no problem bringing it back to its former glory. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you might have. Viewings can be arranged as well. The car is located in the Lenoir City, Tennessee area, just south of Knoxville. Thanks, and good luck bidding! Bill P.S. I have been asked about trades/partial trades. The only trade I would consider is a Nissan 300ZX (Z32). |

First Ride: 2015 BMW M3 and M4
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Getting Our Butts In The Seats
Both the non-M BMW 3 Series sedan and 4 Series coupe have so far brought much pleasure to us at Autoblog. The terrific four-cylinder 328i trim has become our favorite of the 3 Series line, while we have yet to get a chance at the 428i coupe. That said, the 35i trim powered by a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine is not exactly to be sniffed at.
We all know the ones you're really waiting for, though. The F80 fifth-generation M3 sedan and the supremely sexy F82 M4 coupe. Rumors have been buzzing for a couple of years now that the engine would be another V8, only turbocharged this time, or else a tri-turbo six. Well, today BMW confirmed that the mill under the hood's power bulge is a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo of the biturbo variety, referred to internally as "S55B30 variant."
BMW i3 starts near $35,000; NA first deliveries January 2014
Mon, 08 Jul 2013While in Germany at the first early pre-production drives of the hotly anticipated BMW i3, BMW people finally hinted at a price ballpark. Numbers being tossed around by pundits have actually been pretty close to what BMW is discussing internally - between $35,000 and just over $40,000. We have been assured now that the base price, should one choose to buy and not lease in the Euro zone, is just over 35,000 euro, with some big taxes included in that price. In the US, the starting price for the fully EV plug-in version should be $34,500 or right thereabouts. In addition to new pricing, we've also gotten our best-yet look at the i3, with the freshly uncovered spy shots you see here.
European deliveries begin in November of this year for the fully electric version of the rear-wheel-drive i3 with 168-horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The e-motor mounted over the rear axle is supplied with energy by the 22-kWh lithium-ion battery pallet under the passenger compartment. Recharging happens in any of three ways: public or personal garage plug-in charge station (garage version not included in the price), the onboard system's Pro Eco mode that adds resistance to the drivetrain in a type of rolling brake energy recuperation, or through the normal brake energy and off-throttle coasting regeneration more common to EVs. Range on a full charge of this drivetrain is said to be upwards of 100 miles under hyper-miling conditions.
Perhaps the best bit of news is that the alternative, range-extending, two-cylinder 600cc engine supplied by BMW Motorrad for the hybrid version of the i3 - mounted in the rear together with the e-motor - will add only 2,000 euros in Europe and about $2,000 in the US. This is a range-doubling solution that could have brought a much higher price gouge, so thank you, BMW. The hybrid e-drive i3 version arrives a couple months after the full-EV launch version. Remember that, unlike the very similar system for the Chevrolet Volt, the system in the i3 supplies no mechanical torque to the driven axle and is only used as a generator (a system BMW first used last year in the 1 Series-based Active ). The US is seen as the clear number one market for the i3.
Drive like a prince: Join us for a walk through Monaco's car collection
Fri, Dec 29 2023Small, crowded, and a royal pain in the trunk lid to drive into during rush hour, Monaco sounds like an improbable location for a huge car museum. And yet, this tiny city-state has been closely linked to car culture for over a century. It hosts two major racing events every year, many of its residents would qualify for a frequent shopper card if Rolls-Royce issued one, and Prince Rainier III began assembling a collection of cars in the late 1950s. He opened his collection to the public in 1993 and the museum quickly turned into a popular tourist attraction. The collection continued to grow after his death in April 2005; it moved to a new facility located right on Hercules Port in July 2022. Monaco being Monaco, you'd expect to walk into a room full of the latest, shiniest, and most powerful supercars ever to shred a tire. That's not the case: while there is no shortage of high-horsepower machines, the first cars you see after paying ˆ10 (approximately $11) to get in are pre-war models. In that era, the template for the car as we know it in 2023 hadn't been created, so an eclectic assortment of expensive and dauntingly experimental machines roamed whatever roads were available to them. One is the Leyat Helica, which was built in France in 1921 with a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-twin sourced from the world of aviation. Fittingly, the two-cylinder spun a massive, plane-like propeller. Government vehicles get a special spot in the museum. They range from a Cadillac Series 6700 with an amusing blend of period-correct French-market yellow headlights and massive fins to a 2011 Lexus LS 600h with a custom-made transparent roof panel that was built by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet for Prince Albert II's wedding. Here's where it all gets a little weird: you've got a 1952 Austin FX3, a Ghia-bodied 1959 Fiat 500 Jolly, a 1960 BMW Isetta, and a 1971 Lotus Seven. That has to be someone's idea of a perfect four-car garage. One of the most significant cars in the collection lurks in the far corner of the main hall, which is located a level below the entrance. At first glance, it's a kitted-out Renault 4CV with auxiliary lights, a racing number on the front end, and a period-correct registration number issued in the Bouches-du-Rhone department of France. It doesn't look all that different than the later, unmodified 4CV parked right next to it. Here's what's special about it: this is one of the small handful of Type 1063 models built by Renault for competition.
