Hi!

I'm sorry to let this beauty go but you sometimes have to make choices in life. This one is a perfect example of 90's german over-engineering.

This is a BMW 535i 1990 and it is as clean as you can get. There is no way someone could find a cleaner unit. I've looked for 6 years before finding this beauty.

It comes with BMW's famous durable engine, M30B35 3.4L inline 6. It has 218 bhp and 225 lb-ft torque. Right now it has 82 000 miles or 128 000 km.

This is a 3 owner car, including me. First owner had it for 3 years then sold it to an old man in 1993 who kept it in his garage and only drove it in the summer. The old man cherished it until he passed away two years ago. I had been looking for another unit since a couple of years and I knew the man. When he passed away, I waited of couple of months and then contacted his son to know if they wanted to let it go. They said no. Then, last summer, they called me and said they had to. I was sorry for their loss but SO MUCH happy to get this e34! Unfortunately, things change sometimes in a bad way and I'm in no position to keep it. I'm really sorry about it and I hope next owner will appreciate it as much as I did.

Car is in storage right now in a heated garage. I will get it out to take more pictures as soon as weather permit it. Those pictures were taken last november. Car is in near perfect condition.

It has power everything, airbag, original paint, black leather interior, like-new brakes, like-new tires, like-new suspension, etc. As I said, excellent condition.

It comes with an automatic transmission. I know, it sucks. But I purchased another complete 535i last year to do the swap. I will let it go at no cost to the buyer so they can enjoy it! I can even put you in contact with a very knowledgeable BMW guy that could help you with this easy manual conversion. If you want to keep it automatic, no problem. Transmission shift GREAT! No slippeage, no hard shifts. Smooth and slick!

When I purchased the car, I changed air filter, fuel filter, a couple bulbs, motor oil, power steering oil, tranny oil, coolant, thermostat, water pump, spark plugs, belts, and other small things that keeps a great car running great. I also did have the valves adjusted because the car had been sitting for a complete year without running much. I drove it for 4 months and 8 000 km. Great driver's car!

Wheels are perfect. There is no rust on the car excepted for what is mentionned a little further. Engine bay is clean. Trunk is clean. Car was never involved in an accident.

Now, the little things that are not as great (I will post pictures as soon as someone asks for it!!):

-Head liner is a little slack in the back. Easy fix.
-Since the last owner was an 'old papa, it still smells like my gran'pa. Not as bad as when I purchased it, but still a little.
-There is a little rust spot (as big as a nickel) on the gas gap. Nothing big. I was told it was quite normal for the original part to do that. It was corrected on the replacement part.
-The car is 23 years old. I repeat; the car is 23 years old! Sure, there may be some small scuffs or blemishes or whatever tiny thing. But I can tell you it is REALLLLLLLY CLEAN!
-Car has A/C but I never had to use it so maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.

Now, rules for this auction:

-This is a no reserve price auction. However, car is also for sale locally (or will be within 48 hours). I reserve the right to end this auction anytime. There is also a buy it now price of 5 600$.
-If you seriously want to buy this car, please note I will need a 500$ deposit in the next 24 hours. If you change your mind, I can reimburse you but I hope you'll have a really solid reason for wasting my precious time and yours!
-If you want to come and see it, I will gladly help you setup your trip here.
-If you are out of Canada, I will gladly help you to export it. It is quite easy for a 1990 car to be exported to the US.
-If you need me to ship the car, I will gladly help you to do it. However, it is at your full expense. From what I'm told, it's about 600$ to 900$ to ship a car from Montreal to Vancouver and it is 5000km (3000 miles). Not too bad!
-I can also drive it anywhere to Quebec, Montreal or Toronto for around 300$.
-Of course, car is sold without any warranty of any kind, other than the fact I'm sure you will enjoy this car if you have been reading this far!

Thanks for your interest and I will answer questions within an hour maximum!

2015 BMW X4 slides in on the diagonal starting at $45,625 in the US

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

If BMW has shown us anything, it's a knack for creating niches and expanding its product portfolio. Go back to the early '90s and it had essentially four models: the 3 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series and 7 Series. End of list. Since then, the Bavarian automaker has not only taken on Mini and Rolls-Royce, but has expanded its own range of models exponentially. You can chalk a big part of that up to crossovers, and another sizable chunk to giving existing models a different roofline and calling it something new. What we have here is a prime example of both.
Previewed in concept form the better part of a year ago at the Shanghai Motor Show, the slantback version of the X3 (and the baby brother to the X6) is now here in full production guise. Mechanically it's essentially the same as the new X3 on which it's based, but amps up the "sport" at the expense of the "utility" part of the SUV equation.
BMW will undoubtedly offer a wide range of powertrain configurations in markets around the world, but back in the United States it'll be offered in two specs: the X4 xDrive28i, packing a 2.0-liter inline-four with 240 horsepower and a $45,625 sticker price (including destination), or the X4 xDrive35i with the 300hp 3.0-liter six and a $48,925 MSRP. Either way, you're getting an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.

BMW i8 added to exotic Dubai police fleet

Thu, Mar 12 2015

Apparently the Dubai Police is ready to start expanding its vast collection of exotic cars yet again. After taking a little while off from new purchases, the cops there recently added a Lexus RC F to the stable, and now the force has gone green – well, kind of. The latest high-performance vehicle to wear the green and white livery is a BMW i8. While the video above isn't in English, the clip is self-explanatory by showing off officials getting out of the high-performance hybrid coupe and taking a walk around it. With a total output of a mere 357 horsepower, the i8 is practically the economy entry in the Dubai Police fleet that includes a Bugatti Veyron and McLaren MP4-12C.

BMW i3 gets official worldwide

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Even though we recently drove a near-production version of the BMW i3, the car still wore light exterior and interior camouflage. Today, BMW took off that little bit of camo and made a big announcement: The i3 will go on sale in the US for $41,350 in the second quarter of 2014. That does not include any state or federal incentives that could lower the price or the $925 destination fee. The i3 will debut with three trim levels, which BMW is referring to as Worlds: Mega (standard in the US), Giga and Tera.
The BMW i3 is chock-full of new technology afforded by its design as an EV from the start of development, which has resulted in a vehicle layout unique to the i3. BMW has named it LifeDrive architecture, and it features the Life Module and the Drive Module. The Life Module is the i3's pillar-less passenger cell, which is the first mass-produced monocoque made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The tougher-than-steel material is also 30-percent lighter than aluminum, which contributes to the i3's relatively light weight of 2,700 pounds (preliminary US figure) and, in turn, increases its energy efficiency. Expect more of this technology to find its way into future BMWs.
The Drive Module, a 100-percent aluminum chassis mounted under the Life Module, houses everything that makes the i3 go. It includes the 22-kilowatt, 450-pound lithium ion battery mounted as centrally as possible, and provides power to a rear-mounted electric motor that turns the rear wheels. With 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque from zero rpm, the single-gear i3 can accelerate from 0-30 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and 0-60 mph in about 7.0 seconds, but it has a top speed of only 93 mph. BMW says the i3 has a real-world EV range of 80-100 miles, and the standard charger can fill the battery in three hours. Opt for the SAE DC Combo Fast Charger and 30 minutes is all it takes for a full charge; 20 minutes will bump the battery to 80 percent. For customers who have range anxiety, BMW gives them the option to install a 34-hp, 650cc two-cylinder generator as a range extender for the electric drive system.
