1988 BMW M5 Mileage: 160K VIN #: WBSDC930XJ2791256 History: AutoCheck Vehicle History Report available upon request Seller Comments: This is a very original and complete E28
M5 that has spent the majority of its life in Northern California. It was
resurrected from storage around 2011 and has only limited service records available.
According to record, the M5 was sold new in NY and passed through the Midwest
before finally making it to California in 1997, which may explain why the car
has some rust found at three of the four jacking points and at the rear lower
rear valence. (Pictures available upon request)
In my opinion, the rust isn’t extensive and a competent and experienced
auto body technician should find the repair not extraordinary. That being
said, most of the paint is factory original and all VIN tags are present on all
panels with the exception of the hood and driver’s front fender, where the hood
has original VIN tag, but has been refinished and the fender appears to have
been refinished and replaced. Overall, I would consider this a solid M5 that is
a good candidate for restoration for those in the know. Vehicle Condition Drivetrain: Motor is stock with no modifications, starts
reliably with smooth idle, runs strong and does not burn or leak oil.
Transmission shifts well in all gears, hot or cold but has typical leak at gear
selector shaft seal or at rear output seal (exact location TBD) and has minor
vibration during idle at/near rear transmission mount. New O2 sensor installed
and M5 recently passed CA smog. Recent engine oil and transmission oil change
with Mobile 1 15w-50 and Redline MTL respectively. New motor mounts. (by
previous owner 04/13) Suspension: (by previous owner 04/13) New upper and lower control arms, tie
rods and sway bar links. New rear subframe mounts and rear pitman
links. Recent front Bilstein Sport struts
(front) and rear suspension SLS delete. (prior to previous owner) Brakes: (by previous owner 04/13) Front and rear calipers rebuilt New front and rear rotors New brake pads and wear sensors New SS brake lines Exterior: (by previous owner 04/13) Windshield and lock strip New trunk and taillight gaskets and
sunroof gaskets New antenna mast Wheels powder coated with new Kuhmo
Ecsta 225/50ZR15 tires Interior: (by previous owner 04/13) New/used dashboard New shift knob and shifter boot New/used factory OEM radio (code needed) New seatbelt latches New AC compressor and receiver/drier (however,
AC does not blow cold) The Seller has made every effort to describe vehicle accurately to the best of his knowledge.

Are you a BMW M4 GTS track car in disguise?
Wed, 10 Sep 2014BMW is always happy to extract a little bit more gumption out of its M cars, just look at the latest 30th anniversary M5 or even the earlier CSL variants of the M3 for proof. Now, It looks like we might be getting the first glimpse of an even hotter M4, and it's wearing very interesting livery.
Our spies recently shot this M4 that could preview a future GTS version. It's all done up in MotoGP decals, but that might just be a ruse. This car sports a camouflaged lower air dam and rear wing, but those parts don't appear to be from an actual series safety car. The chin spoiler seems larger, and the rear wing is completely different. You can also spot an obvious Recaro logo on the driver's seat in one of the photos. Plus, the BMW emblem is removed at the back.
The disguised changes and odd choice of decals make this prototype incredibly weird. A BMW exec said at the beginning of the year that there were "no plans whatsoever to make a lighter, harder version just yet," of the M3 or M4, despite earlier rumors to the contrary. Check out the gallery to see what you think this is.
BMW M4 pitted against i8 in drag race
Fri, Jan 2 2015Germany's Auto Bild has set up a very intriguing drag race to settle not just an inter-brand rivalry within BMW but a question of the old school versus the latest tech. The BMW M4 is a leader among the traditional sports coupes with a turbocharged inline-six spinning the rear wheels, but the M has to tackle the cutting-edge i8 with its turbocharged three-cylinder augmented with electric drive. See what happens when they go head to head. Even on paper, the race looks quite close. The i8 weighs about 300 pounds less than the M4 and also slightly nudges it out on net torque at 420 pound-feet versus 406 lb-ft. Also in some shots, the pavement looks just a little bit damp here, which would benefit the i8's all-wheel drive setup. However, the M-car has a healthy horsepower advantage with 425 hp against the hybrid's 357 hp. The race commences after a short introduction. Watch and see whether the traditional tech or latest layout wins the day.

Next BMW X1 caught on flatbed
Tue, 17 Sep 2013The X1 had been around for four years before it was added to BMW's US lineup, so it isn't all that surprising that a new version of the company's smallest Sport Activity Vehicle is already in the works. Captured in transit on the back of a flatbed truck, these spy shots give us our first look at the next-gen X1 - codenamed F48 - which is expected to debut around 2015.
While the camouflage does a good job of obscuring most of the styling elements, we definitely see evidence of the X1's new platform. Elements like the loss of the long nose and a noticeably shrunken dash-axle gap (just compare this spy shot picture to this one from our X1 review), are good indicators that the next X1 will move to the new front-wheel-drive platform BMW is using for the new Mini and 1 Series GT. Aside from this, the overall shape is very similar to the current design, but we're sure it will pull many cues from the updated range of BMW products.
