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.

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

Guess which brand's not on a top 10 list of best EVs (hint: it's Tesla)

Thu, Jun 22 2023

Few surprises lurk in Autotrader’s list of its 10 best electric vehicles of 2023, but there is one that stands out: no Teslas. There's Hyundais and Kias, Porsches and Fords, a BMW and a Nissan. But Â… no Teslas. Although many of us admit to being over-Musked and tired of reading about him, the lack of a Tesla model on a selection of the 10 most desirable current EVs is conspicuous by its absence. Asked about this particular omission, we received this rather vague response from Autotrader spokesperson Brenna Buehler at Cox Automotive: “Tesla models were included in consideration but didnÂ’t get sufficiently high scores by the Editorial team to qualify for the top 10.” At least some Tesla offerings appeared to meet all the requirements set by the website. The manufacturers must offer 2023 model year vehicles, and they have to be sold in at least 15 states. Check. Only pure EVs were allowed on the list; there are no hybrids, plug-in hybrids or hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Check. The base manufacturer's suggested retail price must be less than $100,000. Check. Let the debates begin. Moving on, it should be noted that two Genesis models, a G80 sedan and GV 60 SUV, are listed, along with a Lucid Air midsize sedan, the Rivian R1T pickup, and the Porsche Taycan. Here is the full list, with the remarks and comments from Autotrader's raters. (And we've included links to Autoblog's own reviews for a deeper dive). The EVs are listed in alphabetical order by brand, so don't read anything into the order of presentation: 2023 BMW i4 BMW reboots its EV approach and comes up with a winner: Whatever you thought of BMW's first run at EV, the i3, it was missing a certain something – it didn't look or perform like a BMW. The 2023 BMW i4 corrects course with a Gran Coupe that our editors agree looks and drives like a BMW. 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Ford's electric pickup gathers steam in its second year: The F-150 Lightning somehow synthesized decades of pickup truck knowledge with the latest and greatest EV technology and infused thoughtful details and user-friendly features. 2023 Genesis Electrified G80South Korea's luxury brand shows how to elevate the executive EV sedan without breaking the bank: Genesis, Hyundai's luxury offshoot, rethought the gasoline-powered luxury sedan, the G80, and developed the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80. Precisely as the name hints, the Electrified G80 replaces the G80's engine with an all-wheel-drive EV powertrain.

GRAND-AM, IMSA announce deal to bring DTM racing to US

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

It won't be until 2015 at the earliest, but the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), Grand-Am and the Internationale Tourenwagen-Rennen have agreed to a licensing and cooperation deal that could bring a version of Germany's DTM series to the US.
When the American Le Mans Series and Grand-Am are officially combined next year, the resulting body will be called United SportsCar Racing (USCR). IMSA will be the sanctioning body for that series, and DTM races could be run as support events. It was also suggested by an ALMS chief that DTM races could be standalone or join NASCAR and IndyCar weekends.
With the so-called DTM America finally agreed to, there is now a way for manufacturers to run the same DTM-type cars in Europe, the US and Japan - last year Japan's Super GT series agreed to adopt "the basic technical regulations" of DTM for the GT500 class, the top class in the series. That already puts six manufacturers in play: Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW that run in Germany's DTM and Honda, Nissan and Lexus that run in Super GT. The DTM oversight body has invited American brands to Germany for the opening round of the 2013 season, and will begin actively courting their participation in the US series. Check out the press release from Audi with comments on the deal below.
