1994 Bmw 540i Clean!!! Rust Free!!! on 2040-cars
Year:1994

I have a 1994 BMW 540i automatic which is in excellent condition despite having 179,xxx miles! I'm located in Duluth, MN.
As far as the car goes I haven't owned it long, but here is a list of what's been done as far as maintenance goes within the last year: -Valve cover gaskets(8/01/13) -Voltage regulator (2/20/14) -Power Steering flush (2/20/14) -Thermostat (8/01/13) -Crankshaft Position Sensor (12/08/13) -O2 Sensors (12/08/13) -Throttle Body gasket (12/08/13) -New Battery (12/08/13) -Electrical System check (12/08/13) -Vacuum test (12/08/13) [hence the throttle body gasket] -Serpentine belts (4/05/14) Most of these were preventative maintenance and not because they had to be replaced. No modifications except for a muffler delete. I also just put new tabs on which are good through March 2015. It has brand new Firestone Winterforce tires on the rear, but it has older all season tires in the front. Haven't had any issues this year with all the snow we've had. The control arm bushings are getting old and make some rattling noise over bumps, which is a common occurrence with these cars. There are kits for $160 to replace all the front control arms and bushings. I just never got around to fixing them, and the rattling never bothered me too much. I will throw in a set of H&R lowering springs that are brand new (came in the mail 4/07/14) for the right deal. Otherwise I will save them for another future E34 I'll probably end up with. The engine is smooth and the transmission shifts as it should but it was recommended to me that I replace the shift cable. It's not a pressing matter by any means. It functions as it should and I have had no issues whatsoever, but the shop said it may need to be replaced but I think they were just trying to get more money out of me. One reason I did not replace it was because I tracked down a complete bolt on 5 speed swap kit for it, which I can put you in touch with the owner of the kit if that is what you desire. The body itself is in amazing condition. The car was originally from South Carolina and was undercoated when new. There is one small dent on the drivers side rear passenger door from a motor cycle, but it is hardly noticeable. There is no rust whatsoever. The interior is in good condition. The driver's seat is a little beat up and needs a new cable for the seat back, but all power functions work.The aftermarket radio works, but has a loose wire so it cuts out if you hit a big bump, then you just push it back and it works. Other than that it is great. It even has a built in car phone...that works! I have a clean title in my name as well. I welcome you to come inspect the car before purchasing but rest assured I will be honest about everything because I have nothing to hide. I'm just looking to get into a newer car. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. On Apr-14-14 at 11:18:18 PDT, seller added the following information: There have been some concerns about the AutoCheck report stating that there was a discrepancy with the odometer. This is a result of an error at the DMV when reporting the mileage in 2001, and the mileage is accurate at 179,950. The miles will go up slightly due to daily driving, but rest assured that there was no rollback or cluster replacement. |

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
BMW tests M Lap Timer App with M4 Coupe at Brands Hatch
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The 2015 BMW M4 looks to include all the necessary ingredients to offer dynamite driving experience. It's an M car after all. But in today's constantly connected world, the experience of hurtling a car around a track isn't always enough.
We want data, and while there are some solid telemetry apps available for smartphones (notably Harry's GPS LapTimer), manufacturers have been a bit slower to develop their own dedicated mobile telemetry trackers for their performance cars. With the new M4, though, BMW is taking the plunge, allowing drivers to track their lap progress through a new app, creatively called the M Lap Timer.
To show off the program, BMW has recruited touring car racer Andy Priaulx to perform a fast lap in an M4 at the UK's Brands Hatch circuit. The accompanying video doesn't do much to show off the app in action. Rather, it give us a stylized look at the metrics as Priaulx hustles BMW's hottest 4 Series coupe around the circuit.
Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings
Thu, Dec 7 2017Hyundai, its partner Kia and its Genesis division are the big winners in the latest vehicle safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, accounting for six of the 15 models that earned the Top Safety Pick+ awards for 2018. Subaru was right behind with four, Mercedes-Benz had two, and Toyota, BMW and Ford each had one. Another 47 vehicles earned the Top Safety Pick designation, where Toyota had 10 vehicle models, with Hyundai recognized for nine models. All but one of the seven vehicles in Subaru's lineup, the BRZ, qualified for one of the awards. IIHS strengthened the criteria for the Top Safety Pick+ award for 2018 to require headlights to earn a "good" rating — an "acceptable" rating was previously enough to notch the "plus" award — and good or acceptable passenger-side protection in the small overlap front crash, which replicates a crash involving just the front corner of a vehicle. It also required vehicles to have acceptable or good headlights for the first time to earn a Top Safety Pick award. Most of winners for both awards qualified on the basis of optional upgrades. IIHS in October began evaluating the passenger side of vehicles in its small overlap front crash test after it said it became clear that automakers were neglecting that side of the vehicle as they focused on improving driver-side protections. IIHS first began conducting driver-side small overlap crashes in 2012. It began measuring both how well low and high beams illuminated the road and the amount of glare they produce for oncoming vehicles as part of its ratings in 2016. The Top Safety Pick+ winners are listed below. The list doesn't include any minivans, pickups or minicars, which don't appear on either list of awardees. Small cars Kia Forte Kia Soul Subaru Impreza (sedan and wagon) Subaru WRX Midsize cars Subaru Legacy Subaru Outback Toyota Camry Large luxury cars BMW 5 series Genesis G80 Genesis G90 Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Midsize SUVs Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Midsize luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC The full list of Top Safety Pick winners is available here.Related Video: Image Credit: IIHS BMW Genesis Hyundai Kia Lincoln Subaru Toyota Safety Crossover SUV Wagon Sedan crash test
