Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Excellent Condition."

Very fine, well cared for example. This model was only made in '87 and '88. I have owned several and am selling because I bought another one. Purchased 5yrs. and 20K mi. ago in western Colorado from seller who owned it for 10yrs. and 20K mi. Originally sold in Virginia. Three owners. I have original window sticker with purchase price of $39,555 showing optional limited slip differential; I believe this was the only option available. I have original sales brochure. I have all my records but not older ones. Professionally maintained by local BMW expert. Car is dry and rust free except for very minor trace surface rust appearing at joint areas of rear driver's side quarter panel which was replaced sometime prior to my ownership; the material used to seal the panel has developed very slight cracking and some hairline rust tracing. Also, same thing near roof line on left side due to roof rack mount; it seems newer paint is thinner and shows these slight rust streaks. See photos. Older paint does not do this. Panel below rear bumper has more than other areas but still small. Entirely surface. Panel and rear door were repainted and have faded less than original paint resulting in some color contrast; new paint is brighter than original paint. This contrast appears more pronounced in bright light photos than I think it does in person; it does not jump out when you see the car but it is noticeable upon closer inspection. The contrast between the trunk and quarter panel is more pronounced that between front and rear doors.

I have repainted front air dam which was damage free, replaced trunk hinges and seal, replaced front side window seals and front/ rear exterior glass trim, replaced fog lamps, repaired driver's seat outside bolster, replaced rear shocks and flex disk, catalytic converter, starter as well as minor hoses. I have maintained car to last many years. All Redline fluids. K&N air filter and Bavarian Auto chip. Original air box/ filter included. 28% side window tint. Cocoa mats. Preparing for sale I installed my winter tires. Tires are OK but won't fully balance out at 1/2 or less tread; the soft winter compound always does this. Wheels are straight with very minor marking. Summer tires were done. I also removed a performance muffler and installed an original BMW muffler I had and this did not go well; the BMW muffler broke and will need to be replaced soon; it's not too loud but will not last and the chrome tips are not well attached. Interior is very good; leather is somewhat dried with some creasing but not cracking through. Dash has some cracks. Everything on the cars works. My shop always let's me know what's ahead and is advising to watch rear brakes and tie rod/center link in approx. 5K miles; these may go longer. Next valve adjustment is at 120K and new gasket will be needed as will brake pressure switch.

I drive this car daily. Mileage at 114,000 is approx. what you will get give or take 100 or so miles. This car is super clean; no door dings and only a couple minor paint blemishes-I'm the guy who parks at the far end of the lot. New tires and your choice of exhaust and you are set for awhile; last oil service was at 11621. In 5-10K more miles you will need rear brakes valve adjustment and maybe tie rod/center link. There are not many of these left in this condition and prices seem to be going up; I paid more than twice what I'm starting with for my new car with half the mileage. I love to own and drive these cars. This is a great daily driver that gets many comments and really stands out from the new cars. Please call me @ 303-641-4457 if you have any questions. Mike.

Final revision. This is my first listing as a seller. I have included every detail about this car and have concluded that the car is better than it looks in this listing. My old iphone pictures are not sharp enough IMO to convey the overall condition of this car. The paint contrast is there and the repair items are too but neither really effects the actual impression that this is a really nice car when you see it. I am also a big E28 fan and know that this is a solid car that will perform as represented-no DIY stories about the mechanical shape of the car; the owner of my shop will take your call to tell you about his 20+ years of maintaining my old BMWs (as a 1988 this is the newest car I have ever owned) and about this car. Mike

Lil Wayne's daughter gifted Ferrari GTO, BMW X4 for 16th birthday [w/video]

Thu, Dec 4 2014

It must be nice to have ludicrously rich parents. Rapper Lil' Wayne's daughter Reginae recently celebrated her 16th birthday with a huge party in Atlanta. Where many teens would be overjoyed just to get a family hand-me-down for a first car, the rapper's daughter got two brand-new vehicles – a BMW X4 and a Ferrari 599 GTO. The X4 would certainly be extravagant by itself, but it's not totally without precedent. Anyone who watched even a snippet of MTV's old show My Super Sweet 16, probably saw a few vehicles that were just as expensive. However, the concept of any newly licensed teen behind the wheel of a Ferrari is absolutely terrifying to us. This one is even crazier, with 661 horsepower and a chassis capable of lapping Ferrari's Fiorano test track quicker than an Enzo. Of course, with just 599 built, Reginae could probably just park the coupe and let it appreciate enough to finance her next big party. The BMW is reportedly going to be her daily driver, anyway. According to TMZ, Reginae's mother and stepfather bought her the Ferrari with Lil' Wayne's blessing. They believe their daughter can handle the 599 GTO, which shows some serious Â– if misguided Â– trust. Check out the video below to see the cars and her party.

Translogic 189: 2015 LA Auto Show

Tue, Nov 24 2015

The LA Auto Show has become known for its green cars and concepts, and 2015 was no exception. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley gets all the details on BMW's 330e plug-in hybrid straight from BMW President of North America Ludwig Willisch. Then we get up-to-date on Honda's latest FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel cell car. We round out our tour with a stop at the Elio Motors booth for a look at their updated, three-wheel P5 concept and a chat with CEO Paul Elio. But first, we jump in a time machine at the Volvo booth to discuss Concept 26, an interpretation of how car interiors might evolve in the era of self-driving cars. "The reason why we talked about it as a time machine [is] because, really, Concept 26 is giving you back something that is so precious," explained Volvo senior director of design Tisha Johnson. "We're letting you delegate driving to the car, so that you can then have that time to yourself." Click here to learn more about our host, Jonathon Buckley.

BMW Concept X5 eDrive plug-in hybrid headed to Frankfurt

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

With six confirmed public debuts scheduled for the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW is definitely going to have its hands full. While we've already driven models like the 4 Series and the i3, one of the more interesting introductions is a "concept" plug-in hybrid version of the new F15 BMW X5 called the BMW Concept X5 eDrive.
As the second concept to wear the eDrive name, this X5 combines a 95-horsepower electric motor with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine to balance performance and efficiency. On the green side of things, BMW says that the eDrive system allows the X5 to reach speeds of 75 miles per hour and a range of 19 miles (although we're guessing not at the same time) under electric power only, to go with fuel consumption of about 62 miles per gallon US (3.8 liters per 100 kilometers). For performance, this plug-in can still accelerate from 0-60 in under seven seconds, and drivers can select from three PHEV modes: one that operates the system automatically, an all-electric mode and a Save Battery mode to preserve the battery's current state of charge.
Aside from the obvious plug port on the left front fender, the X5 eDrive is differentiated from the 2014 X5 with slightly restyled front and rear fascias, subtle blue accents tying in with the BMW i line and lightweight, aero-tuned 21-inch alloy wheels. There is no definitive word on whether the Concept X5 eDrive will make it to production, but judging by BMW's recent commitment to plug-in vehicles, we wouldn't be surprised to see an X5 PHEV on the roads within the next couple of years. We'll see the Concept X5 in just a few weeks in Frankfurt, but until then, scroll down for the official press release.
