Up for sale is my 1995 BMW 540i E34. The car was originally purchased by my grandfather from BMW of San Diego back in 1995 for nearly $50,000 ($77,000 in today's money adjusted for inflation) and I got it from him. I still have the original sale's receipt and window sticker as well! He took great care of his car, always garage-kept, always serviced on time and with genuine BMW parts and I have continued this into my ownership.  

The car carries a clean California title, has NEVER been in any accident, and is a southern California rust-free car in amazing condition. Car has a beautiful black paint exterior with a matching black leather interior, both in great shape. There are some cosmetic issues that I have described in the condition description, but overall the vehicle is in great shape for a car of this age. Has ALWAYS been kept in the garage by both me and my grandfather, and it shows when you compare this 5-series to others of the same vintage.

All electronics work perfectly, with the exception of the speaker on the drivers side not working- I was told it could use a new head unit- I like to keep my cars original so I have not changed it. No fault codes in the diagnostic computer when I had the car checked out.

1995 was the last year of the E34 5-series, so you're getting the most refined and advanced this series had to offer.  These cars were the most reliable cars BMW ever built, they are known to go 300k+miles as long as they are properly maintained, and this one is no exception. Only 140k miles on the car, so it has a long life ahead!

Engine runs perfectly, just like a legendary BMW V8 should. You will not find a cleaner and better condition E34 on Craigslist, this car will serve you a lifetime as long as you continue to properly maintain it as well as I have! I've always used 91 octane premium fuel, only used BMW OEM parts when servicing,  and I've just babied this car always, just as my grandfather had.


I just got the car smogged and it passed with flying colors for you California buyers. Registration is also current through the end of they year. I also performed a pre-purchase inspection on the vehicle and replaced all the important things that needed attention.


I'm a BMW enthusiast, and have spared no expense on maintaining this machine. I've changed many parts with new ones, here's a short list from the most recent service:

-New Air Filter
-New Power Steering fluid reservoir, filter, and liquid
-New radiator
-New battery
-New water pump
-New power steering pump
-New valve cover gaskets
-New windshield wipers
-New hood shocks
-New exhaust hangers/doughnuts
-New shifter lining
-Many new rubber parts in engine bay

Below are some pics, I'm going to try and get some higher res pics up later this week, along with a video walkthrough. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Car is also up for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel auction at any time.

BMW 4 Series spied with its future competition

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

BMW showed off its new 4 Series coupe in concept form at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, but it won't be long before we see the production model, evidenced by this modestly camouflaged prototype spotted testing. In case you forgot, the 4 Series serves as the replacement for the two-door versions of the BMW 3 Series, just as the upcoming 2 Series will effectively be the new version of the 1 Series coupe and convertible sold in our market.
This isn't our first glimpse of the 4 Series out testing, and we've even spied its droptop, Gran Coupe and too-hot M4 kin. We don't expect the final design to stray too much from the concept car seen in Detroit, albeit without the normal conceptual goodies like oversized wheels and with the overstyled front fascia toned down a bit. Our spy photographers even caught the 4 Series coupe hanging out with an Audi A5, giving us a good glimpse at how the two cars will stack up in terms of size and design.
It's still unknown exactly what engines will power the car when it comes to production, but since this thing is a derivative of the 3 Series, we expect the usual range of turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines to be available, likely in 428i ad 435i guise (though, to be fair, the larger 640i coupe uses a 3.0-liter turbo engine, so there's even the potential for 440i nomenclature to work its way into the mix). We'll have to wait until the car officially bows later this year to know for sure.

Did BMW drag its feet on Mini recall?

Mon, Sep 28 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into BMW's reporting of a recall for 30,456 examples of the 2014-2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop, Cooper S, and the 2015 John Cooper Works. According to the government, "it appears from a review of NHTSA's databases that BMW may have failed to submit recall communications to NHTSA in a timely manner." The automaker issued the recall in July because crash tests showed the models didn't meet side impact requirements for passengers in the back seat. While there were no reported injuries at the time, the company decided to install energy-absorbing material in the space between the rear interior panels and the exterior. However, NHTSA has decided to investigate whether this campaign should have started much earlier, given the evidence the company had. According to the government's report, the Cooper Hardtop failed side-impact tests in 2014, although one of these tests was five-miles-per-hour faster than the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The agency claims: "In January 2015 BMW verbally committed that it would conduct a service campaign to add padding to the rear side panels of MY 2015 Mini 2 Door Hardtop Cooper models. However, BMW did not initiate the service campaign and failed to inform NHTSA of its failure to do so." A subsequent crash test of an example with this fix showed it to make the vehicle compliant with the rules. Mini spokesperson Mariella Kapsaskis told Autoblog: "Regarding the NHTSA audit query, BMW Group is evaluating the request and will respond to NHTSA as appropriate." INVESTIGATION Subject : BMW Reporting & Timely Recall Execution Date Investigation Opened: SEP 24, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: AQ15004 Component(s): STRUCTURE All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) MINI COOPER 2014-2015 MINI COOPER S 2014-2015 MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS 2015 Details Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC SUMMARY: NHTSA is opening this AQ to better understand and evaluate BMW's process(es) for its notification procedures and for timely and efficient execution of its safety recall campaigns. In mid-2014, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) had side impact moving deformable barrier (MDB) tests performed on two model year (MY) 2014 Mini 2 Door Hardtop Coopers. These two tests were performed at a speed 5 mph higher than required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 214, Side impact protection.

BMW mulling potential 9 Series production

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Nine months may be long enough to bring another human being into the world, but it may take BMW a bit longer to make up its mind on the production of a potential 9 Series model. The idea was first mooted when the Bavarian automaker presented the Vision Future Luxury concept at the Beijing Motor Show last year. Billed (not unlike rival Audi's Prologue concept) more as a design study than a pre-production concept, the Vision Future Luxury show car nevertheless took a larger form than the 7 Series, prompting speculation that a new flagship sedan could be in the works. The better part of a year later, such a decision has reportedly yet to be taken, but over at BMW Blog they're reporting that the automaker's incoming chief executive Harald Kruger is a fan of the idea and could give it the green light after he takes the helm in May. If approved, the model likely to be dubbed 9 Series would reportedly compete with the Mercedes-Maybach S600 – but then that model was earmarked to take on the Rolls-Royce Ghost. BMW has typically been careful not to overlap with its Rolls-Royce division, but considering how it's also been going downmarket with front-drive models to close the gap to the Mini brand, we wouldn't be all that surprised to see the 9 Series positioned maybe just below the next-generation Ghost and developed alongside it, taking a page out of rival VW's playbook. Volkswagen has, after all, made a brisk business out of sharing platforms and slicing market segments between the various brands under its umbrella. And while BMW is nowhere near as large, its new leadership could find new ways to increase its market share.
