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!

Watch man destroy his M6 'lemon' with a sledgehammer and ax

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Just to be clear, the owner of this BMW M6 isn't ready for another one. He and his friend destroyed the V10-powered coupe in anger at the entrance to the Frankfurt Motor Show in a decidedly public fashion. Bild and GT Spirit report that the owner was angry over mysterious quality and reliability issues that he claims BMW wasn't able to fix. What we have here, folks, is claimed to be a very expensive lemon.
As the story goes, owner Pourmohseni Hadi bought the 2007 M6 in 2008, and five years later, he is still complaining about mysterious vibrations, rattles and severe jolts during gear changes - the latter he says have caused passengers to become nauseous. The car was taken to several BMW repair shops in Italy and Hadi says he he has written a letter to the automaker about his issues, but the car was never fixed and the letter unanswered, he claims. What we don't know is how many miles the car has been driven and when all these problems started happening. The situation reminds us of a certain Lamborghini Gallardo from a couple years back.
While we understand Hadi's frustration, perhaps an M6 just doesn't suit his tastes. After all, we'd be lying if we said a perfectly functioning M6 of this generation wasn't bumpy over uneven surfaces and wouldn't make some passengers nauseous, with its stiffly sprung suspension and dizzying 500-horsepower V10. Anyone wanna bet his M6 was equipped with one of BMW's notoriously abrupt SMG single-clutch gearboxes?

BMW intros Concept M4 GTS ahead of Pebble Beach debut

Fri, Aug 14 2015

Meet the BMW Concept M4 GTS. Coming to this weekend's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the new high-performance coupe gets both performance and aesthetic upgrades as it previews a higher-performance version of BMW's two-door darling. The headlining item is the new water-injection system. As previously reported, the setup draws from a 1.3-gallon water tank and was pioneered by the M4 Safety Car used in the MotoGP series. The new system injects water directly into the plenums of the intake manifold, where it is vaporized. The result is a lower compression temperature in the combustion chamber, which according to BMW means more horsepower and torque. You can get a broader explanation in the attached press release. Beyond the water-injection system, the M4 GTS will get OLED taillights. Their function sounds very German – "producing full-surface and homogenous illumination" Â– but we simply prefer the impact they've had on the look of the rear lights. It's markedly different than anything else in the BMW suite. There is a mix of aesthetic and performance upgrades to the normal M4 exterior, too. BMW has fitted manually adjustable aerodynamic aids, with a new chin splitter and a prominent rear spoiler. Both items are, unsurprisingly, made from exposed carbon fiber. BMW also turned to composites for the hood, opting for carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic. We're particularly fond of the M4 GTS' wheels. They're absolutely stunning staggered hoops, with 19-inchers in front and 20s in back. The 666M style, as BMW calls them, feature Acid Orange accents that really play well with the Frozen Dark Grey paint (although they clash quite badly with the yellow calipers on the carbon-ceramic brakes). Stay tuned for more on the new Concept M4 GTS, including live images from its debut in sunny California. Until then, scroll down for the official press release from BMW.

Â– EMBARGO: August 13, 2015 Â– 9:00pm EDT/6:00pm PDT...A year on from the launch of the BMW M4 Coupe, BMW M GmbH is presenting an initial preview of a high-performance model for use on the road and on the race track: the BMW Concept M4 GTS Â– the first M3/M4 special production vehicle to be sold in the US. The BMW M GmbH was founded in 1972 as BMW Motorsport GmbH and caused a sensation with its iconic BMW M1 racing car.
