This BMW is a BEAST! A 1989 535is Dinan turbo with tons of service history, modifications, and recent service and upgrades. You want to drive around in a classic, sporty, reliable BMW, but blow everyone off the road at will? This is the car! It’s truly in mint cosmetic and mechanical condition. A California car since new, it’s been dyno-tuned to approximately 315 crank horsepower. It FLIES under boost. It has tons of tasteful modifications and upgrades, among them electronic boost control, Hamann 18” wheels, a $5K high-level stereo system, Remus exhaust, carbon/Kevlar clutch with lightweight flywheel, authentic BMW M-sport steering wheel, and much much more. This 535is Dinan turbocharged car has been fully inspected and whatever needed to be fixed is fixed; synthetic oil change, Guibo, tune-up, alignment, and more. It needs nothing but a new owner, and looks/drives like an M5 and E55 killer should.
-- Here is your next BMW Sports Sedan on steroids! --Please let me stop you now if you are looking for a cheap old 535is. This is not that car. This car has thousands, and thousands, and thousands, and THOUSANDS of dollars in upgrades, maintenance, repairs, and modifications. At the same time, it looks fantastic inside and out, and drives like a race car. You really can have it all! Compare this car to ebay item# 151030540732, a 1991 with 4 owners and only 65K miles, but an asking price of over $23,000!!! My car is a killer deal.
Here's the deal: -- It's a 1989 BMW 535is Dinan Turbo. It is red over black leather and grey carpets. It has 99,xxx miles, looks like a million bucks, and drives like a million bucks too. Just incredible condition for a 1989 car. –
-- Exterior 9 out of 10 (I'm finicky) - Fantastic overall condition paint, body, glass, and trim. No dings, no dents, a few small surface scratches/chips, all of which will be touched-up prior to delivery. This BMW looks amazing, with a deep shine to the glossy red paint that's like looking into a mirror. This car looks great even under fluorescent light in a garage! --

-- Never any accidents, and wears all the original body panels and bumpers. This is a 2-owner car since new, and always in California until 2009! No winters, no snow, no salt (I don't drive it in winter and just took it back out of my garage for the spring). Even the lower side-body moldings are in great shape. Chrome, rubber, glass, trim is all very nice. No oxidation, fade, wear, rust, etc. --
-- Look at the body panels.....they are perfectly straight. --

-- The 18” Falken tires on 18” Hamann polished alloys have about 75% tread remaining. But they are older and should be replaced. At the BIN price, I will install brand new BF Goodrich 245/40/18 performance tires all around. The 18” Hamann wheels are expensive, and true with no bends. There is some clearcoat peel to the wheels, which I will also take care of at the BIN price. The car drives straight as an arrow at any speed you choose. And I mean ANY speed. --
-- Interior 9.9 out of 10 - The black leather interior overall including all seating and door leather, seat padding, dash, console, and carpets are in amazing original condition. No dash cracks, carpet rips, very little wear of any kind on the leather (driver’s bolster shows nearly zero wear). Everything looks and feels new; you can’t even tell anyone has been in the car. No smoking ever. It even SMELLS new inside; the only aroma is that of expensive leather, and nothing else! --

-- This car is loaded including leather, power seats/windows/locks, sunroof, and more. Awesome interior modifications include an authentic BMW M-sport steering wheel, M-sport gearshift and e-brake leather stitching, and a high-end Viper alarm system with remote lock/unlock. --

-- This 535is Dinan Turbo also has a killer $5000 stereo system with Kenwood top-of-the-line head unit, dual Kenwood high-power amps, dual 10” subwoofers in a custom enclosure, heavy gauge cable throughout the car, and all speakers upgraded. It sounds fantastic. Please note the amps are mounted permanently, I just lowered them for the photo. -–

-- Electrical 10 out of 10 - All lights, switches, radio, windows, wipers, seat motors/memory, and power mirrors work perfectly. Headrest motors, vacuum lock system, etc. all operating properly. The HVAC system is fast to respond, and perfect with hot heat and ice-cold A/C. --

-- Before you send me an email, please note that I know the high-beams have been removed! This was done for better airflow (mostly to the Dinan intercooler). They are easily replaced, the wiring connectors are still there. If the winning bidder would like, I will replace them. The low-beam headlights are running a 50-watt HID kit (a real one with ballasts, not the dumb purple bulbs). --
-- Mechanically 10 out of 10 - Engine starts, idles, runs, and revs to redline in every gear smooth and strong. The carbon-kevlar clutch is light and smooth (although it grabs and holds for power transfer). The transmission is smooth, all synchros are working fine, and upshuifts/downshifts and crisp. The lightweight flywheel gives revs instantly, and unwinds just as quickly. The car runs at high speed with no vibrations or noises. There are no leaks. This BMW needs to be warmed up for a few minutes before being driven due to the larger injectors, otherwise it will run rich and stumble to catch an idle. It never bothers me and does not take very long, and to be honest a car like this SHOULD be warmed up before being driven anyway. --
-- Engine is SO strong under boost and VERY eager to run, it will rocket you past slower traffic even at lower RPMs. Brakes are solid with upgraded pads and rotors, and pedal feel is firm. Suspension is tight like new, even with the lowering springs and firmer shocks installed. Steering nicely weighted with no play in the box. This car drives and handles like new. --
![]()
-- The engine has the full Dinan CARB-approved turbocharger kit with intercooler. It uses a blow-off valve to dump boost when you lift off the throttle. It has a Remus exhaust, and a custom bank of gauges in the center console to monitor all critical engine parameters. The boost can be controlled manually using the Greddy electronic controller hidden in the glovebox. --

-- This BMW 535is Dinan turbo has an absolutely astounding service history, all documented since new. ALL the dealer service. ALL the upgrades and modifications. Even the owner’s manuals for the stereo, the boost controller, and more. All the accessories. It’s all here, five inches thick! The car had a full engine rebuild around 2006 which is when the Dinan kit was installed. So no worries about how long the motor will last. It’s all fresh and runs like a champ. And with only 99K miles, this 535is is not even broken in yet! Full inspection already complete. It needed some odds and ends; guibo, alignment, A/C charge (no leaks), dyno tuning, tune-up, oil change, etc. All you have to do is drive. --

-- At the BIN price, I will provide the following: a new set of 245/40/18 performance tires sitting on the Hamann 18” alloys which I will refinish to like-new condition. A full $200 detailing including engine bay, carpet shampoo, leather conditioning, orbital polishing, etc. I'll also include BMW OEM carpeted floor mats, and BMW touch-up paint. I’ll reinstall the high-beam headlights. And finally, I’ll apply ToughGuard paint protectant. This stuff is simply amazing for durability, as it will last up to five YEARS. Dealers charge up to $695 for this stuff! That’s over $2000 in value included at the BIN price! Wow! --
-- Nits: A few thin scratches/chips that will be touched-up, the missing high-beams, a couple of cluster warning lights due to the headlights and aftermarket gauges. And to run properly, the car must warm up for a few minutes or it will run rich due to the bigger fuel injectors. THAT'S IT. NOTHING ELSE. And if I did not mention those, it's unlikely anyone would even notice...I just want to be up front and honest. That’s an amazingly short list for a 1989 car! -- -- I have good feedback, and sold many Audis, Acuras, and Benzes that the new owners are thrilled with. They and others have offered to act as references to verify that I am honest in my descriptions of the cars I sell, and you are welcome to contact them. -- THIS IS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME CAR, AND IT'S AN UNBELIEVABLE DEAL!!

BMW i3 wait list grows to six months
Tue, Feb 4 2014This could make one real expensive decision a little easier to make. The latest official word is that BMW remains undecided if or when it will expand its sub-brand of i plug-in vehicles beyond the i3 and i8, but the i3 city EV has certainly struck a chord in Europe. Citing BMW executive Ian Robertson, Automotive News Europe reports that the German automaker is running a six-month wait list for the i3, which started sales in Europe in November. Bimmer has taken about 11,000 orders globally, and about 1,200 of those are from the US, where the car will debut in May. BMW executive Harald Krueger recently said that the German automaker will hold off on making plans to broaden the i sub-brand until more sales results come in. That said, BMW has trademarked all of the single-digit "i" names from i1 through i9, so should these EVs remain popular, BMW has room to grow. We won't be surprised if we do see more vehicles, since BMW North America chief Ludwig Willisch is already on record as saying the US demand for the i3 will likely exceed supply this year. For a taste of why, check out our first drive here. Featured Gallery 2014 BMW i3 View 107 Photos News Source: Automotive News - sub. req. Green BMW Electric ev sales wait list
Recharge Wrap-up: Lego Tesla logo, BMW goes electric in Singapore
Thu, Jul 2 2015A man built a giant Tesla logo out of Legos. Adrian Drake, a Tesla owner, displayed his brickwork homage to the electric car company at Brickworld Chicago. In the video above, the hosts interview Mr. Drake about his creation, and he gives some insights into how he conceived and constructed the freestanding display. Drake also demonstrates its sturdiness, giving the logo a tap to send it wobbling precariously from side to side. You'll probably notice that standing to the left of the logo is a Lego model of a Tesla Supercharger. That was built by Robert Turner and can be seen in a separate video. See the Lego Tesla logo in the video above, and read more at Teslarati. Canadian power generator TransAlta will use Tesla stationary batteries for a commercial energy storage project. The project involves installing five Tesla Powerpacks to store energy during periods of low demand for use during peak grid times. TransAlta believes that energy storage systems like this will help encourage the creation of more wind and solar energy. "This is a major step forward in putting new technology to work in Canada," says TransAlta Lead Engineer of Technology Dan Chapman, "and Tesla is already a leader in this field." The project is expected to be up and running in late 2016. Read more from TransAlta. BMW and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have launched an electromobility research program. In addition to the projects the joint Future Mobility Research Lab is already working on, (Advanced Battery, Driver Enhancement and Intelligent Mobility), the groups will also begin Electromobility in Asia and Smart Materials research projects. The Electromobility in Asia project focuses on how people interact with BMW's i cars, while the Smart Materials project seeks to improve touchscreens and interactive surfaces. BMW has provided the lab with an i3 and i8 with which to conduct research. Each partner is investing $965,000 into the new programs. Read more at Green Car Congress, and in the press release below. BMW Group and NTU embark on S$1.3 million electromobility research NTU receives BMW i3 and BMW i8 as research platforms Singapore. BMW Group and Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) today launched a new electromobility research programme, involving the all-electric BMW i3 and plug-in hybrid sports car BMW i8 that runs on electricity and petrol.
BMW solar roof helps i3 drivers even when sun isn't shining
Wed, Jan 7 2015At the Consumer Electronics Show, BMW has announced a release window for its i Wallbox Pro that unites domestic solar power and the electricity grid. The box itself was shown off during last year's i8 drives and it rests inside a solar carport to control the simultaneous delivery of both solar power and the electric grid energy to recharge an i8. One drive attendee wrote how the Wallbox Pro display showed that it was providing 3.4 total kW to the coupe, with 2.8 kW from the sun and 0.6 kW from the grid. At CES, BMW said the i Wallbox Pro, brought to life by BMW DesignWorks, will be available in 2016. For homes that aren't equipped with solar power, or when solar isn't available, the system will draw power from the grid when it's least expensive. The Munich manufacturer also announced a concept storage solution using discarded batteries from its electric cars, where excess energy from solar or other sources could be held for later use for a vehicle or the home itself. BMW will be demonstrating the i Wallbox Pro at CES and the press release below has more information. BMW i Home Charging Services unveiled at the CES Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Pioneering integrated charging solution for electric vehicles brings further reduction in charging costs and integrates home solar generating systems with the household electricity system. Munich / Las Vegas- January 5, 2015... At the Consumer Electronics Show CES 2015 in Las Vegas (6 – 9 January 2015) BMW i will unveil a further innovative product from its 360° ELECTRIC portfolio: BMW i Home Charging Services. This smart solution for home charging of electric and plug-in hybrid BMW models is based on the smart home-enabled BMW i Wallbox Pro system already presented by BMW in spring 2014. How the smart charging service works. Using BMW i Home Charging Services, the vehicle is charged with homegenerated solar power whenever this is available. At other times, or if the household does not have a solar generating system, the vehicle is automatically charged at the cheapest off-peak rates. This makes it possible to take advantage of flexible electricity pricing that varies depending on the time of day. In the USA, this can result in savings of up to 800 dollars a year. With this fully automated charging service, customers get a simple-to-operate system that integrates vehicle charging with the household electrical system and online-based data systems.
