This is a magnificent 1997 BMW 528i with manual transmission. This car has all the options available, along with 15" lightweight BBS polished wheels, painted body mouldings, and a rear trunk spoiler. Has upgraded new headlights (old ones got dull, they come with the car as well), upgraded "angel eye" in the headlights along with HID's. The vehicle has all the maintenance upto date, including a recently replaced steering rack, fuel pump, water pump, and a complete flush and overhauld of the cooling system. New ignition coils, new spark plugs, new fuel filter, K&N air filter, oil changed every 3000 miles. The vehicle has approximately 185,000 miles on it. Paint still shines like new!! Everything works!

WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!

The car was parked outside my garage (kids were playing table tennis), when the garbage truck rolled around to collect the weekly garbage, and decided to leave a little gift on the side. We weren't even aware until the driver knocked on our door to inform us. The damage seems only cosmetic, but I am not a body shop, so I dont konw. What I do know is that the front headlight is scratched, the right front fender is completely gone, the front & rear bumper is broken, the right front & rear passenger doors dont open, and the windows dont roll down (they seem to slightly roll down, but stop when the regulator hits the dented shell).

WHY SELL IT??

I was quoted $700 by the body shop to replace & paint the door shells, front & rear bumpers, the front fender, and buff out the scratches on the rear fender. I am selling because I dont have time or patience to get all this done, even though this is my daily driver, and runs & drives in it's current condition, instead, I will opt for something with a V-8. This would be an excellent car for someone to put a little TLC into. Please remember that this car is sold as used, so do not expect a perfect car.

Please note, the first few pictures show the vehicle before the wreck, with the M5 wheels and the newer tail lights which are NOT included with this car, I am selling those separately if interested. The vehicle will come with the BBS wheels shown in the later pictures, and the original tail lights from 1997. THE LAST 6 PICTURES SHOW THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE.

Feel free to ask any questions, good luck & happy bidding!

Mini might build a sedan because it's running out of shapes

Wed, Apr 13 2016

Rumors suggest we could soon see a Mini with a trunk to haul your junk. Autocar cites unnamed insiders who claim the sedan is part of the brand's plan for upmarket growth. There's even a possibility the new model could use the Riley moniker in reference to the Elf (pictured above) from the 1960s, which was a Mini with a tiny trunk. The Mini sedan would use BMW's front-wheel-drive platform that underpins the X1 and Clubman and might share the wheelbase and frontend styling with the Clubman as well, according to Autocar. Mini's execs think the four-door would perform especially well in North America and China, where there's less demand for hatchbacks. Ralph Mahler, vice president of Mini's product management, hinted at the possibility of the four-door to Autocar. "For example, in Asia and the US, the sedan segment is very big. This is very interesting to us, of course," he said. Mahler admits that many people don't know about the Mini-based vehicles with trunks from the '60s, like the Riley Elf, so it would be hard to market the new model on that heritage. This could be the perfect time to add a Mini sedan to the lineup, and it might not be a completely new idea for the brand under its BMW stewardship; a rumor from 2012 shows that Mini's bosses considered a four-door at least once before. The company launched new versions of its Hardtop, Convertible, and Clubman, and even added four-door and all-wheel-drive versions of the Hardtop to further blur the lines between that car, the Clubman, and the Countryman. The next-generation Countryman crossover should debut later this year, and the brand reportedly cancelled the Superleggera Vision roadster and Rocketman compact, as Mini has chosen to go big with its new models and its lineup breadth. There are only so many versions of a hatchback a company can make, and the short-lived Mini Coupe wasn't exactly a huge success. If Mini is going to try a new body style, a sedan actually makes some sense, even if we'll probably prefer the look and practicality of the hatches. Related Video:

MotorWeek fondly remembers the 2000 BMW M5

Fri, May 15 2015

The Retro Review series from MotorWeek tends to reminisce about vehicles at are at least 20 years old and often from even further back. However, the show's latest recollection shines the spotlight on a fondly remembered sports sedan that's also a modern classic: the 2000 BMW M5. Years before BMW committed to downsized engines with turbocharging and shortly prior to the introduction of iDrive, the E39 M5 showed the Bavarian brand's engineering talents at their very best. By modern standards, the sedan's powertrain is almost antiquated. Up front, there's a big, naturally aspirated V8 that sends power to the rear wheels, and the only choice of transmission is a six-speed manual. But as MotorWeek explains, the tuning of the whole vehicle comes out to near perfection. This is a model that's definitely worth remembering.

2014 BMW M5 facelift shows up online

Tue, 14 May 2013

Is it that time already? Like its predecessors, the current BMW M5 has been endangering US licenses since it first went on sale here in 2012, but its design became a known quantity back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Apparently that also means that the F10 generation has already grown tired enough to the "Must Have Latest Set" who can afford these sorts of super saloons that a facelift is in order.
If these leaked images sourced from Autocar are anything to go by, BMW stylists have used a predictably light hand to rework their hottest 5 Series, with a revised grille that echoes the M6 along with modestly resculpted headlamps. The rear end appears wholly unaltered. Interior changes gleaned from a look at the cabin photos include an updated touchpad-equipped iDrive controller and a new steering wheel cribbed from the M6.
No new word on changes to the 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 powertrain, but in late April, we heard that BMW was readying new competition packages for the M5 and M6. The packages are said to include 15 more horsepower, revised suspension and steering, along with new wheels and blackened exhaust tips. Given that BMW is known for habitually underrating its cars' horsepower outputs (particularly its M models) we can't help but wonder if its engineers will need to do anything other than wave a magic wand to corral those extra ponies underhood...
