1984 BMW 528E sedan, acquired the vehicle as a trade for another vehicle and had plans to clean it up and sell but noticed the oil light blinking when the car is warm and idling. Did a compression check and discovered there are two cylinders without compression. My dad doesn't want to do the repairs on the car so it's being sold for parts or repair. Previous owner had oil changed before it was traded, and the car was a daily driver prior to being traded.
I have had the car about a week, so I will do my best to describe everything I know about the car. It starts, runs, drives and stops - car was driven 30 miles home when traded and made the trip without issue. Everything on the car works as far as I can tell, aside from the rear drivers window which doesn't roll up or down. The battery has a slow drain when the car isn't running but was told that starting the car once daily or disconnecting battery solves the problem, could be an easy fix but have not looked into it. Glove box latch needs to be installed, but is in the glove box. Inspection light is on, I'm guessing due to the engine trouble. Car rides nice once up to speed, but seems like something is clogged up when accelerating - acts like it wants to go but all the power just isn't there. Exhaust is a little louder than it should be, but the car is not loud.
Interior is in pretty good shape, no rips or tears in the leather. Exterior is in good shape as well, not much rust on the car at all. Paint has started fading, more on the passenger side than any other part of the car. Trunk still has original tool kit, and full size spare tire with matching rim. Good tires on the front, rear tires will need replaced soon. Sony cd player works, but the screen does not as far as I can tell. Headlights, taillights, turn signals, brake lights and horn all work as they should and glass is all in good shape with no cracks.
Car definitely has potential, it's in great shape for being 29 years old - we're just isn't familiar enough with BMW's to perform the work needed. Feel free to contact me with any questions, I can take more photos upon request as well.
Thanks for looking & happy bidding :)

BMW calls in 50,000 motorbikes over fuel pump leak
Tue, 07 Jan 2014If you don't often see motorbikes being recalled, it's probably because there's less to go wrong on a motorcycle. But a problem with the fuel pump on a wide array of BMW Motorrad products has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for over 50,000 of the Bavarian two-wheelers across America.
The issue revolves around the fuel pump flange on R-model, K-model, S 1000 and HP2 motorcycles built as far back, in some cases, to 2005 and as recent as 2012, depending on the model. The flange was found to be prone to crack and leak fuel, which NHTSA evaluated as a fire risk. As a result, precisely 50,184 such motorbikes are being recalled to have their flanges reinforced or, where necessary, to replace the entire fuel pump. If you're the owner of such a Bimmer bike, expect a call from your dealer sometime next month, but you can read the full notice below.

BMW introducing i8 to US with Hello Future Olympics ad
Fri, Feb 7 2014It's not all unfinished hotel rooms and unconventional toilet situations at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. During the broadcast of the opening ceremony tonight, BMW is going to introduce the American TV audience to its plug-in i brand of vehicles. Of course, since we have things like Twitter and YouTube (which the Russian hosts might not be too happy about), you can already see the first spot below. BMW is going all-in on its Olympics ads, saying the campaign is the company's "largest media investment of the year." The first ad, called Hello Future, sets the words of science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke to an array of futuristic cityscape visuals before flashing the i8 onto the screen. Two other spots – called SHHH and Sightings – will also debut during the Games. Those have not yet been placed online, but BMW says that Sightings is about people "trying to describe something they have never seen before; something remarkable and other-worldly" (i.e., the plug-in i8). SHHH, on the other hand, is a short romance, about a "boy who sneaks out in his dad's quiet and all-electric BMW i3 as he tries to impress his dream-girl with the ultimate joyride. In the end, the joyride helps him win the girl." There's a twist, of course, which you can read about in the press release below or just wait until it appears on screen, trying to break through the banal advertising landscape, over the next few weeks. BMW has other connections to the Sochi Olympics as well, including designing the two-man bobsled used by the US Olympic team. There's a contest running regarding that project over on BMWTimeTracker. BMW Debuts BMW i Brand Campaign During NBC's Broadcast of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games First-Ever U.S. Television Commercials for BMW i to Begin Airing on February 7. WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Feb. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BMW of North America, the Official Mobility Partner of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), will tune into the Opening Ceremony of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games tonight at 7:30pm ET on NBC, which is expected to be one of the most-watched television events of 2014. During NBC's broadcast of the event, BMW is officially launching the brand campaign for the revolutionary BMW i brand with its largest media investment of the year.
