Riverside, California, United States
ANY QUESTIONS JUST EMAIL ME: shaquitakoshiol@juno.com .
For sale is my 2008 e60 M5. General info below:
-Exterior: 9.5/10
-Interior: 10/10
-75000 miles
-5.0L V10 engine
-7 speed SMG III transmission
-Registration valid until January 2017
-No accident history. Carfax in hand.
I originally purchased the M5 knowing that the engine wasn't in the best of shape (ran rough, knocking, etc), so I
took it to Castro Motorsport, a reputable shop with a long track record (North Hollywood, CA). The issue was
initially identified as being VANOS-related, so we went ahead and replaced all four VANOS solenoids. Unfortunately,
this didn't fix everything, and we soon found out that bad rod bearings had taken a devastating toll on the engine
(as I had initially suspected). With few options remaining, I decided to go through with a complete engine rebuild.
In addition to machining both cylinder heads, the following parts were replaced (brand new OEM):
-Crankshaft
-Camshafts (on national back-order, imported from BMW Germany)
-Pistons & O-Rings
-Valves & Lifters
-Rod bearings
-VANOS assembly
-VANOS oil pump
-VANOS gearbox
-VANOS solenoids
-Coil packs
-Spark plugs
-Water pump
-Engine mounts
-All belts, pulleys, filters, etc
-All cooling hoses, fluids, etc
We also inspected the entire drive train while it was out. We refilled all fluids and replaced anything else that
looked sub-par, such as the clutch pressure plate, etc. Upon physical completion of the rebuild, the car was taken
to Gintani (Van Nuys, California) for tuning and final touches (currently in the process of scheduling a dyno
session). One more trip to Castro for some custom exhaust work, and the M5 was finally ready to go. I was given
specific break-in instructions, which I have just recently finished by reaching 2,000 miles on the new engine.
Though it pains me to do so, I'm selling the car because I need to free up some additional funds for a business
project. The rebuild comes with a 1 year/12k mile warranty from Castro Motorsport. Additionally, all of the
above-mentioned parts come with a 3-year warranty from Beverly Hills BMW. I have receipts for all parts and labor;
these will be given to the new owner.

MW's new Driftmob video shows the M235i like you've never seen it before
Wed, 30 Jul 2014Last month, we went behind the scenes of the filming of BMW's new Driftmob, web video, bringing you one post from the practice sessions, and another from the shoot itself, which took place in an enormous traffic circle in Cape Town, South Africa. Today, BMW has launched the final version of Driftmob, and it's pretty damn cool.
The plot is pretty simple: just like a flashmob, in which people invade a location and perform choreographed dances to music, much to the delight of surprised onlookers, the "driftmob" features a quintet of red M235i coupes that take over a traffic circle and perform choreographed dances - sideways - to the delight of onlookers. The only differences are that, in this case, the onlookers are mostly paid extras (though there were many unwitting passersby that joined the crowd at times) and the only music is a constant squealing of tires-a sweet song if we ever heard one. Then, after about two minutes of tire-smoking shenanigans, the coupes vanish.
As promised, we will have a more detailed, behind the scenes story about the filming of the video, including insights from Rhys Millen, Samuel Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford, and Conrad Grunewald, the five guys who executed these remarkable stunts. Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy the short flick.

Drifting can be dangerous for spectators, too
Fri, 02 May 2014Okay kids, here's your lesson for the day. When you go to a motorsports event (that isn't a rally), there are these things called walls. They're big and hard. There might be stacks of tires in front of them. There are also these things called barriers, catch fences and run-off areas. They exist to protect you, the spectator, when something inevitably goes wrong on the track.
If you don't have these things, you probably shouldn't be watching whatever four-wheeled mayhem is taking place. This gentleman learned that the hard way, after getting a bit too close while some hoon drifts his BMW 3 Series.
Scroll down for the video, and be warned, while there isn't any blood that we can see, some viewers might find the sight of a human getting punted by a BMW disturbing.
