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). |

2014 BMW 320i
Tue, 24 Dec 2013When BMW switched its entry level 3 Series, the 328i, from a naturally aspirated, 3.0-liter six-cylinder to a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder, we weren't entirely sure what to think. Sure, from a pure numbers perspective, the new 2.0-liter cooked the old 3.0's goose, delivering more torque at far more accessible engine speeds while boosting horsepower and fuel economy.
While we miss that revvy six-pot, the numbers for the 2.0 were just way too good to pass up. Then we received news of an even less-powerful 2.0-liter 3 Series - the 320i. This was interesting, as it saw BMW delving into a power level previously owned solely by the anemic Lexus IS 250 and its six-cylinder engine.
Could BMW make a sub-200-horsepower sedan that still drove the way we expected a 3 Series to drive? To find out, we borrowed the new 320i for a week of testing.

Check out 90 years of BMW Motorrad in 90 seconds
Tue, 12 Mar 2013After ninety years in business and first-to-market motorcycle innovations like the one-piece 'tunnel' crankcase, hydraulically dampened front forks and full fairings, as well as that trademark boxer engine, BMW Motorrad is celebrating its nonagenarian status with a video: You can follow the ride on BMW motorcycles from 1923 to now in just 90 seconds.
Okay, so there's more than a video - some anniversary-themed bikes and a new retro boxer model celebrating the R 32 "airhead' from 1923 also commemorate the occasion. But you can start with the video, and that's below.
