Immaculate Bmw E28 535i on 2040-cars
Merritt Island, Florida, United States
|
This car is a collector's BMW. The first owner being a businessman, the second owner a BMW collector, and me being a BMW enthusiast. Maintained perfectly, except for the rust in all the doors, and both front fenders. Engine has 153k miles, but on a recent dyno, shows it as having 181 hp, 5 less than stock, which is awesome for a 27 year old car. The interior is perfect, as the front seat were swapped by the previous owner. No tearing, and the 2-tone cardinal red and black looks great with the white car. Dash has a one-inch crack near the windsheild, which is unnoticeable. Tire tread is at about 50%, and it comes with a fifth borbet wheel as a spare under the trunk. Sound system has the stock 4 surround sound, and all speakers function, including tweeters, and it has an aftermarket radio with audio input. AC has a slow leak, and I can include a recharge with the car, but it will likely only last the summer, unless the leak is fixed. Both front seats are electric powered, but the passenger seat won't go forward or backward, needs to be taken apart, probably a jam or switch. The suspension makes some knocking noises, and I haven't been able to find the source, but since its all stock, it could use new rubber shock mounts. Computer system works, and it does not flash any check-engine lights. The car has a fuel issue about once a month, where it won't start for a minute or two, and you have to keep cranking the engine.After replacing the distributor rotor, and sparkplugs, and testing the fuel relay, I've determined the problem to be something in the fuel line, probably the filter. Engine oil and transmission fluid was changed last month, and new battery installed about 2 months ago. Car drives great, and feels great too. Like I said, the only real issue is the rust in the doors, which is why I'm putting a low reserve on this car. I would put the effort into fixing this car myself, because I was planning a future turbo setup with an m106 manifold, but I with school and work, I don't have the time to put into this car. So my loss is your gain. Email me for more pictures or info. I would prefer local pickup, or if you're in the state, we can meet halfway. No returns or refunds.

However, I would recommend a new driveshaft in the near future, as the current driveshaft "flutters" under hard acceleration in second gear. Has no effect on daily driving.

Recharge Wrap-up: Renault ZOE wins Zenn Monte-Carlo Rally, BC revives EV rebates
Tue, Mar 24 2015Renault ZOE EVs took the top four places in the 2015 ZENN Monte-Carlo Rally. Renault's cars finished first in consumption, regularity and overall standings. ZOEs took the top four spots overall and in the regularity tests, and the top five places for consumption. Renault entered four teams - two with professional drivers (finishing first and second), one piloted by journalists (placing third) and another by bloggers (taking seventh place). Another individual team entered the race with their own ZOE and finished fourth overall. The electric vehicle race took place over 130 miles and seven and a half hours. Read more in the press release from Renault below. British Columbia has reinstated its Clean Energy Vehicle Incentive Program. Phase two of the program, which starts April 1, is expected to put another 1,700 plug-in cars on BC roads. It's funded by the province's Innovative Clean Energy Fund, which gets its money from carbon taxes. Customers can receive rebates of up to C$5,000 for EVs, while fuel cell vehicle customers could get back up to C$6,000. Drivers can also get up to $C3,250 for scrapping cars built before 2000. BC is also investing in more charging infrastructure, EV fleets and outreach. See the video above, and read more from British Columbia government website and at Green Car Reports. BMW is noticing increased sales of its i3 EV tied to government incentives for electric cars. "We can see a clear connection between sales figures and political initiatives," says BMW Group CEO Norbert Reithofer. "Wherever governments offer tangible incentives for e-mobility, the registration figures for the BMW i3 soar." Last year, BMW sold about 2,000 i3s in Norway and 3,000 in California. In Germany, where BMW only sold about 2,100 i3s, Riethofer suggests the government needs to do more to support clean cars. "The German carmakers have delivered their part of the bargain. The ball is in now in the court of policymakers," he says. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Renault ZOE takes the top four places in the 6th ZENN Monte-Carlo Rally Following a sparkling victory last year, Renault ZOE has put in yet another remarkable performance at the 2015 ZENN Monte-Carlo Rally with four ZOE models taking the top four spots.
Two new RWD Toyota sports cars to join FR-S?
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Toyota as we know it could become a thing of the past. According to Australian site Car Advice, the Japanese brand known for bland cruisers like the Camry and Corolla is preparing to bring two new rear-drive cars to market that would slot above and below the Scion-badged FR-S. This is very, very good news.
Car Advice spoke to the GT86/FR-S' chief engineer, Tatsuya Tada, who claimed, "Akio Toyoda always says to me, Toyota sports car [family] should be three sports car brothers. 86 is in the middle." The oldest "brother" would be the spiritual successor to the Supra, even if it doesn't wear that name. Tada is in charge of that project, while a sub-GT86 project is being headed-up elsewhere.
Tada refused to comment on names (CA specifically mentions MR2 and Celica) for the new small car, but did say that, "Yes it is rear-wheel drive and that's Toyota's strong position - Toyota sports car must be rear-wheel drive." Perhaps the juiciest bit of information obtained from Tada's interview with Car Advice was his hinting that both new sports cars would be joint ventures, like the GT86/FR-S/Subaru BRZ triplets. Tada wouldn't say who Toyota was in bed with on the smaller model, but did mention that the Supra would be a product of the world's largest automaker's partnership with BMW.
BMW expands Takata airbag recall nationwide, 140k 3 Series affected
Tue, Dec 23 2014Following the urging of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, BMW has expanded its recall of vehicles equipped with Takata airbag inflators to cover the entirety of the United States, rather than just high-humidity areas. That means there are about 140,000 owners of 2004 to 2006 model year BMW 3 Series coupes, convertibles, sedans and wagons (that means owners of both E46 and E90 3ers should take note). It's unclear if this recall includes the high-performance M3 Coupe and Convertible. With the expansion of its airbag recall, BMW joins Honda, Mazda, Ford and Fiat Chrysler in moving from a regional to a nationwide recall of vehicles equipped with Takata airbags. According to Reuters, BMW claims none of its vehicles have been subject to the potentially harmful airbag deployments.
