Hi!
I'm sorry to let this beauty go but you sometimes have to make choices in life. This one is a perfect example of 90's german over-engineering.
This is a BMW 535i 1990 and it is as clean as you can get. There is no way someone could find a cleaner unit. I've looked for 6 years before finding this beauty.
It comes with BMW's famous durable engine, M30B35 3.4L inline 6. It has 218 bhp and 225 lb-ft torque. Right now it has 82 000 miles or 128 000 km.
This is a 3 owner car, including me. First owner had it for 3 years then sold it to an old man in 1993 who kept it in his garage and only drove it in the summer. The old man cherished it until he passed away two years ago. I had been looking for another unit since a couple of years and I knew the man. When he passed away, I waited of couple of months and then contacted his son to know if they wanted to let it go. They said no. Then, last summer, they called me and said they had to. I was sorry for their loss but SO MUCH happy to get this e34! Unfortunately, things change sometimes in a bad way and I'm in no position to keep it. I'm really sorry about it and I hope next owner will appreciate it as much as I did.
Car is in storage right now in a heated garage. I will get it out to take more pictures as soon as weather permit it. Those pictures were taken last november. Car is in near perfect condition.
It has power everything, airbag, original paint, black leather interior, like-new brakes, like-new tires, like-new suspension, etc. As I said, excellent condition.
It comes with an automatic transmission. I know, it sucks. But I purchased another complete 535i last year to do the swap. I will let it go at no cost to the buyer so they can enjoy it! I can even put you in contact with a very knowledgeable BMW guy that could help you with this easy manual conversion. If you want to keep it automatic, no problem. Transmission shift GREAT! No slippeage, no hard shifts. Smooth and slick!
When I purchased the car, I changed air filter, fuel filter, a couple bulbs, motor oil, power steering oil, tranny oil, coolant, thermostat, water pump, spark plugs, belts, and other small things that keeps a great car running great. I also did have the valves adjusted because the car had been sitting for a complete year without running much. I drove it for 4 months and 8 000 km. Great driver's car!
Wheels are perfect. There is no rust on the car excepted for what is mentionned a little further. Engine bay is clean. Trunk is clean. Car was never involved in an accident.
Now, the little things that are not as great (I will post pictures as soon as someone asks for it!!):
-Head liner is a little slack in the back. Easy fix.
-Since the last owner was an 'old papa, it still smells like my gran'pa. Not as bad as when I purchased it, but still a little.
-There is a little rust spot (as big as a nickel) on the gas gap. Nothing big. I was told it was quite normal for the original part to do that. It was corrected on the replacement part.
-The car is 23 years old. I repeat; the car is 23 years old! Sure, there may be some small scuffs or blemishes or whatever tiny thing. But I can tell you it is REALLLLLLLY CLEAN!
-Car has A/C but I never had to use it so maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.
Now, rules for this auction:
-This is a no reserve price auction. However, car is also for sale locally (or will be within 48 hours). I reserve the right to end this auction anytime. There is also a buy it now price of 5 600$.
-If you seriously want to buy this car, please note I will need a 500$ deposit in the next 24 hours. If you change your mind, I can reimburse you but I hope you'll have a really solid reason for wasting my precious time and yours!
-If you want to come and see it, I will gladly help you setup your trip here.
-If you are out of Canada, I will gladly help you to export it. It is quite easy for a 1990 car to be exported to the US.
-If you need me to ship the car, I will gladly help you to do it. However, it is at your full expense. From what I'm told, it's about 600$ to 900$ to ship a car from Montreal to Vancouver and it is 5000km (3000 miles). Not too bad!
-I can also drive it anywhere to Quebec, Montreal or Toronto for around 300$.
-Of course, car is sold without any warranty of any kind, other than the fact I'm sure you will enjoy this car if you have been reading this far!
Thanks for your interest and I will answer questions within an hour maximum!

The 570-hp AC Schnitzer ACL2 Concept tries to one-up the M2
Wed, Mar 2 2016AC Schnitzer's new ACL2 concept aims to outdo the BMW M2 at the Geneva Motor Show. To out-muscle the latest M car, the German tuner starts with an M235i and installs the M4's 3.0-liter inline-six. The company also turns up the power to 570 horsepower – a healthy upgrade over 365 hp from the M2's 3.0-liter. The power bump lets the ACL2 reach 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 205 miles per hour, AC Schnitzer claims. Those figures make the coupe a few tenths quicker than the M2's 4.2-second to 60 mph sprint, but BMW limits its creation to 155 mph. AC Schnitzer's long list of upgrades makes the impressive performance possible. To get the most out of the engine, the company installs a carbon fiber intake. It also replaces the most of the exhaust, including the downpipe, catalytic converter and tailpipes. Carbon-ceramic brake discs make sure a driver can control so much power, and the company fits a fully adjustable suspension to aid handling. The ACL2's body is too loud for our tastes even through the subdued dark green paint, but the extensive use of carbon fiber parts should keep weight down. AC Schnitzer adds a road-scraping front splitter with canards at each corner. The rear has a similarly aggressive diffuser and huge wing. The wider fenders also add 5.5 inches to the coupe's width, and 20-inch wheels sit underneath them. The ACL2 doesn't get to challenge the M2 on the Autobahn yet because AC Schnitzer says it's just a concept. The coupe exists simply for the company's product development. However, if you want to put all of these bits together, the final cost would be 149,000 euros ($161,500 at current exchange rates), the tuner claims. Related Video:
New European charging network will offer speeds up to 350 kW
Tue, Nov 29 2016It's about to get easier to fast-charge your electric vehicle across Europe thanks to four major automakers working together in a new joint venture. BMW, Daimler (Mercedes-Benz), Ford, and the VW Group (Audi and Porsche) have all signed a Memorandum of Understanding to install about 400 DC fast charging sites in Europe. As you may know, there are different types of fast chargers, but the ones that this group is talking about installing will be able to charge an EV in much less time than other stations. That's because these chargers will offer power levels of "up to 350 kW." Compare that to what's generally considered the current gold standard, the Tesla Superchargers, which have rates of up to 145 kW and a statement not that long ago from a Ford exec that suggested that 150 kW chargers would be the new normal. Of course, the Tesla chargers use the company's proprietary connector and the new network the JV is setting up will use the CCS standard. The first new stations will go up in 2017 and those 400 sites are just the beginning. A joint statement by the JV says that EV drivers will "have access to thousands of high-powered charging points" by 2020 along highways and main roads. "The charging experience is expected to evolve to be as convenient as refueling at conventional gas stations," the companies said. While not every electric vehicle will be able to take advantage of the 350 kW charging rate, the companies involved would be silly to build the infrastructure without vehicles that can handle that kind of energy flow. The JV says it would welcome participation from other automakers and will cooperate with interested regional partners.

2014 BMW M5 facelift shows up online
Tue, 14 May 2013Is 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...
