The original owner was located in Kingston TN. I have driven this car up until a couple of months ago when it quit unexpectedly on the interstate. AAA towed it to my long-time mechanic where it is currently residing. We suspect a fuse needs to be replaced or the gas filter, but cannot confirm. It has been housed in my garage until a couple of months ago. Some things you should know about this car: In 1994 the car was repainted and chrome moldings were replaced; the odometer does not work (last reading was 241,648 miles); there is a small dent in the hood which occurred when my house was being reroofed and the car was sitting in the garage; there are a few minor scraps on the paint; red leather Recaro seats; the radio has been replaced; the cracked dash has been covered with a plastic molded dashboard cover; tear in the driver's seat (shown); manuals and service records available. See below."

I have driven this car up until a couple of months ago when it quit unexpectedly on the interstate. AAA towed it to my long-time mechanic where it is currently residing. We suspect a fuse needs to be replaced or the gas filter, but cannot confirm. Not going to figure out what's happened, so just selling it. It has been housed in my garage until a couple of months ago. Some things you should know about this car: In 1994 the car was repainted, chrome moldings, and bumpers were replaced; the odometer does not work (last reading was 241,648 miles); there is a small dent in the hood which occurred when my house was being reroofed and the car was sitting in the garage; there are a few minor scraps on the paint; red leather Recaro seats; the radio has been replaced; the cracked dash has been covered with a plastic molded dashboard cover; tear in the leather on driver's seat (shown); AC system upgraded in 2002 to accept R134; manuals and service records available.


This is a classic 1987 BMW 535is manual 5-speed rocket. It has been our "baby" since 1992 and we hate to sell it. But it needs attention and we'd like to send it to a good home. Mostly kept in the garage and smoke free.

Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions.

BMW 2 Series Coupe priced from $33,025* ahead of Detroit debut

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

BMW is definitely going to have its hands full at next month's Detroit Auto Show. The big news might be the debut of the M3 and M4, which were previewed in our Deep Dive, but joining those performance cars under the bright lights will be the all-new 2015 BMW 2 Series Coupe.
While we already know most of the details about the 2 Series and its available M Performance parts, BMW has now announced that the Coupe will go on sale in the first quarter of next year with a starting price of $33,025 (*plus $925 for destination) for the base 228i. This price is about $1,500 more than the current 1 Series Coupe, which starts at $31,500, while the M235i's starting price of $44,025 is almost $500 more than the existing 135is Coupe. There is still no indication as to when we'll see 2 Series Convertible unveiled.
In addition to new M cars and the 2 Series, BMW's display will also reveal another new color-theme package for the Z4. Last year we saw the Hyper Orange package, and this year will give us the Ivory White Burnt Sienna Z4 available in an exclusive Sparkling Brown Metallic exterior paint color. Scroll down for the full press release of production vehicles BMW has planned to showcase at Detroit's Cobo Hall next month.

BMW details Concept X5 eDrive ahead of New York debut

Sun, 13 Apr 2014

Already weighing more than most other types of vehicles and with the space to accommodate the extra equipment, crossovers and SUVs arguably make for one of the more ideal platforms to transform into a hybrid. And there have been a handful of them - like the Audi Q5, Infiniti QX60/Nissan Pathfinder, Porsche Cayenne/Volkswagen Touareg, Lexus RX450h/Toyota Highlander and Cadillac Escalade/Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon - but by and large the majority of hybrids on the market are sedans and hatchbacks. BMW, however, looks poised to join the minority with the X5.
The Bavarian automaker showcased the X5 eDrive concept at Frankfurt last year, and as promised, has now revealed the followup it will present at the New York Auto Show in just a few days. The new Concept X5 eDrive, as BMW has now revealed, pairs a 2.0-liter turbo four good for 245 horsepower to a 95-hp electric motor to deliver a combined 340 horsepower. Its lithium-ion battery can power it for up to 20 miles and at speeds up to 75 miles per hour before the gasoline engine needs to kick in. All that without sacrificing the vehicle's utility, maintaining an almost perfectly flat loading floor with 40:20:40 split-folding rear seats, and without sacrificing much on performance, either: with a 0-62 time of seven seconds flat, the X5 eDrive concept is quicker off the line than the production X5 with the 2.5-liter turbodiesel and just a tenth off of the 3.0-liter turbodiesel.
With the full technical details now released (you can delve into it all in the press release below), the only question remains when BMW will actually put the X5 eDrive into production. Given its appearance in New York, though, we gather that whenever it does reach showrooms, it'll reach American ones as well.

BMW to change model designations, further yet from actual displacement?

Sat, 12 Jul 2014

Once upon a time, you could look at the back of a trunk lid of a BMW and come up with a pretty fair idea of what sat under its hood. For example, a 320i was a 3 Series with a fuel-injected, 2.0-liter engine, a 328i was a 3 Series with a fuel-injected, 2.8-liter engine and a 328Ci was a two-door 3 Series with the same engine. Those were good days.
Today, though, that simplicity is dead and gone. A 328i now has a 2.0-liter engine, just like the 320i, while the simple "C" designation that was affixed to two-door models has been replaced with a "4," so we have a 428i and a 435i. It gets worse, though. A 550i uses a 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 (it should be a 544ti, although we'd be willing to hear an argument for "tti") and a 740i uses a 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-cylinder, which is the same engine found in a 535i. It's madness.
And, well, it's about to get madder, if a post on a BMW enthusiast forum is to be believed. According to f30post.com, we could see a shakeup in at least the 3 and 4 Series nomenclature, thanks to an impending refresh that will see the addition of new, turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines, codenamed B48 and B58, respectively.
