Up for sale is my 1988 BMW E28 M5.  I have owned the vehicle since March 2006 and have put approximately 30,000 miles on it during that time.  It currently registers 193,785.  It has been used as my daily driver in conjunction with my E39 540i.  It has been a pure joy to own and drive, and is being listed now, as my near 70 year old knees are telling me it's time to switch to an automatic transmission.  Yes, it does happen.  I have driven BMW's since the mid 70's and am a long time BMWCCA member.


The attached photographs depict the current condition of the cosmetics.  The paint and trim are original.  It has been garaged during my ownership.  It looks great on a cloudy day, not so good in direct sunlight.  All panels are original.  I believe it's had a prior minor left rear quarter impact. 

There is no rust on the vehicle.

Since my purchase I have replaced all the bushings on the front suspension, all rotors and pads, all the hydraulics, to include a new clutch pedal assembly, the clutch, the rear seal on the engine, both front and rear seals on the transmission, and various pads and mounts.  The condenser is new as is the entire A/C system.  The compressor has been replaced with an aftermarket one which is far superior to the OEM. The chain tensioner has been replaced and the car will come with a Fahey Hub.  I have spent $14,770.00 on various parts, repairs and tires.  Receipts have been maintained and will come with the car.  SMOG tests have been passed without issue.  

The interior center tunnel and lower dash panels have been redone in matching leather as have both front seats.  The seats are the original ones but due to a miscommunication between myself and the upholsterer, they were not done in proper M fashion.  A fairly simple repair however, involving just the center panels.  The sunroof operates as it should and the seal has been replaced and does not leak.  The door panels and rear seat are in excellent condition.

The car drives without issue and has been serviced and maintained by me during its ownership.  All mechanical work has been done by a factory trained BMW mechanic.  I have a spreadsheet of the work completed on the car and can make it available.

This 1988 BMW will be sold with clear & clean Nevada title in hand with current registration. The car will be sold "AS IS" with no written or verbal warranties expressed or implied. I welcome prospective new owners to come see, drive, feel and inspect the car in person. There will be no post-sale inspections to determine whether you actually want to purchase this car.  Zero feedback bidders call me or bids will be cancelled. I reserve the right to end auction at any time. I will assist with shipping arrangements [buyer pays costs].  A $500 non-refundable down payment via Paypal within 24 hours of auction close, with the balance of purchase due via CASH in person, bank wire transfer or certified funds within 5 days of auction close.  

If I can answer any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.  The reserve is reasonable, and thanks for looking.

M-fographic breaks down the history of BMW performance machinery

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

Few characters carry the kind of clout among performance enthusiasts as the letter M. For 35 years now, that one letter has adorned over 300,000 BMWs, each tuned to deliver a higher degree of performance than the stock models on which they're based.
The M division has worked up nearly 100 different models over the past third of a century, which can leave even the most expert among Bimmer fanatics bewildered. Fortunately British auto loan service Carfinance247 has commissioned this handy infographic to make sense of it all, and you can check it out below to see what the letter M really stands for.

BMW teases 2 Series Coupe ahead of October 25 debut

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Although it was finally just confirmed that the last of the BMW 1 Series coupes and convertibles went out of production months ago, we won't have to wait very long to see this model's replacement, the all-new 2 Series. BMW released a teaser video for its new coupe today and also announced that the 2 Series will officially debut on October 25.
We may still have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to see it up close and in person, even though both the Los Angeles Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show are nearly upon us. Either way, it's not clear when the 2 Series will roll into dealerships. Considering we've already seen the coupe sitting out mostly undisguised for a photo shoot, there really isn't much to see in terms of styling of the car in this sun-drenched, dirt-slinging teaser. BMW does say that this is the first trailer ahead of the 2 Series' unveiling, so there are likely to be more to follow the video seen below.

BMW i8 official images leak ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

The new BMW i8 plug-in electric supercar isn't set to make its official debut until September 10, when it will glide onto the Frankfurt Motor Show stage amidst a sea of flash photography. Of course, that isn't so true in today's world, where debuts are always preceded (often carefully) by "leaks."
Take this trio of images of the BMW i8 - there's just enough of the exterior on display in the profile shot to draw attention, without showing important styling points that might be present on the front or back of the car. The same goes for the video attached below. The cabin shot is cool, but isn't particularly earth-shattering when it comes to BMW interiors. As for the skeletal shot, we can see the 1.5-liter, turbocharged engine positioned between the rear axles, the battery pack found in what would be the transmission tunnel and the front-mounted electric motors.
We'll have a full set of live images when the BMW i8 makes its debut in Frankfurt next week. Until then, have a look in the gallery and at the video below, and let us know what you think of BMW's next big thing.
