Silver on black 1994 BMW 540i with a 5sp automatic transmission. This car has only 70,000 accident free kilometers on it, yes only 70,000 km or 43,800 miles. Originally out of Japan, this second hand left hand drive 540i has an upgrade dual climate control, keyless entry and a rear roll up shade just to name a few extras that were not available in North America. The car also has the upgrade BMW three spoke wooden steering wheel with airbag to match the wooden trim interior. The black leather is in great shape, no rips, tears or fading.
It does come with the stock BMW sound system with 6cd changer, which never quite works perfectly, a long time BMW problem which plagues many BMW drivers. I haven't got around to changing out the original deck.
I bought this car with 37,000 km (23,000 miles) two and a half years ago. It has served as my daily driver since then.
The following items have been installed during my keep:
new front shocks and springs in 2011
new 8 ignition coils in 2012
new catalytic converter in 2012
new upper and lower control arms in 2012
new trunk shocks in 2012
new front brakes in 2012
new mass air flow sensor in 2012
new rear brakes in 2013
new hood shocks in 2013
The car comes with service records from its time in Japan (approx. 15 years). The vehicle is offered locally here in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, however I can meet at the US/Canadian border if neccessary.
All in all, this car drives like the day it came out of the BMW factory, all options work! You can call me at (604) 318 1034 to get further detail.
You will not be disappointed.

All the crazy stuff we saw at McCall's Motorworks Revival
Thu, Aug 18 2016Every year, Gordon McCall puts on a lavish event packed with rare cars and planes (and the type of people that can afford rare cars and planes). And every year, more ridiculous stuff shows up. It's the good kind of machine overload. It's likely the only place in the world where you'll see a line of BMW 3.0s next to some Paganis next to a Porsche 911 by Singer Design next to a Ferrari salt racer next to a custom Olds Riviera next to the latest from Koenigsegg next to he coolest stuff Shelby ever made next to a hangar filled with McLarens, including a few P1 GTRs. And then all of that is surrounded by private jets, fighters, and planes that could have flown in directly from WWII. In a word, it's insane. Walk through the gallery above to get a taste for what was there this year for the event's 25th anniversary.

BMW to announce location of new plant in Mexico in July
Tue, 20 May 2014Volkswagen manufactures in Mexico. Soon Audi will as well, and Mercedes-Benz is said to be working on a deal to assemble some of its cars at a Nissan plant in Mexico too. That leaves BMW out of the mix of German automakers building cars South of the Border, but that may soon be rectified, as well.
According to Automotive News, the Bavarian automaker is preparing to announce the site of its first Mexican assembly plant as soon as July, now just two months away. BMW already builds cars for North American consumption at its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, but has reportedly been keen to capitalize on cheaper labor and the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement to supply vehicles to the United States and Canada especially.
When BMW does announce the site of the plant - reportedly narrowed down to either Hidalgo or San Luis Potosi - it is tipped to work its way up to 100,000 vehicles per year at the new location, potentially to include the 3 Series as well as smaller, front-drive models, including Minis.
BMW M2 reportedly green-lit
Thu, 01 May 2014A BMW M2 is on the way, according to a sub-forum in the Bimmerpost empire. Of course, we're actively enjoying a few grains of salt, just to be safe, as the post doesn't mention explicit sources, saying only that "multiple inside sources (who have been accurate in the past)," have confirmed the car.
Provided the forum is correct, though, there's some juicy information here. Production is allegedly slated for late fall 2015, with deliveries likely starting in early 2016. The new sports coupe should arrive with 365 to 375 horsepower, courtesy of an upgraded version of BMW's N55 turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline-six.
The report claims BMW also considered a modified version of the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Mini Cooper S. That engine, known internally as the B48, would have been called the S48 for M2 duty, a significance that we're sure BMW purists would appreciate (the only BMW engine to wear an S designation was the four-cylinder from the legendary E30 M3).
