1988 Bmw M5 Dinan on 2040-cars
Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, United States
|
everyone knows what the E28 M5 is so I'll spare you the history lesson on the model!
I was looking for the nicest M5 I could find when I got a lead on this low mileage example. It had 2 long term southern owners who were BMW enthusiasts. There are not much for paper records prior to my ownership. However I picked the car up from the previous owner at BMW Nashville and talked with the tech who had done the majority of the work on it over the last 12 years. The people at the dealership were very familiar with the car, after all its a very rare car, and if you want more info on the history of it prior to my ownership I'm confident they can answer many of your questions. There aren't many of these left with this low of miles, and those that are out there generally get snapped up by Enthusiast Auto Group and get stuck with remarkable price tags and are subsequently sold to concourse collectors never to be driven again. (seriously take a moment and go check out their prices and then come back and click buy it now on this listing!). this car is not a concourse car, its a driver for a TRUE enthusiast! The driver seat shows some wear, the car is not 100% stock, the paint doesn't look like it just rolled off the showroom floor. That said. the seats are not in desperate condition, there is plenty of life left in them! The upgrades have been done to enhance the drivers enjoyment of the car (safe reliable Dinan Power), and the paint is in very good condition and still has plenty of shine to steal attention at your local Cars & Coffee! Here is a quick rundown of the car: Dinan tune Dinan springs Blisten suspension Billy Boat Exhaust 17" BBS RK wheels 225/45ZR17 PZero Nero tires (~5k miles) lots of maintenance in last year: 4 new brake pads & 7 series rotors distributor cap, wires, spark plugs valve adjustment assortment of hoses replaced newly rebuilt short shifter Programa SI board new battery |

2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible is easy, breezy, beautiful
Wed, 20 Nov 2013BMW debuted its 2014 4 Series Convertible today at the LA Auto Show, and the sporting two-door will feature a folding hardtop - like the convertible 3 Series before it - and be offered in 428i and 435i guises.
The 428i Convertible is equipped with BMW's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, which pumps out 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque - good for sprinting from 0-60 miles per hour in 6.2 seconds. The 435i Convertible gets the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, which steps up output to 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. The topless 435i drops the 0-60-mph time to 5.5 seconds. Both cars come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that a manual transmission will not be offered on 4 Series Convertibles in the US market.
The 4 Series Convertible will be offered in Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport trims. Pricing starts at $48,750 for the 428i Convertible and $54,900 for the 435i. Head on below to peruse the (long) press release for details.
Mini Minor to be co-developed with Toyota
Mon, Jan 26 2015It was back in 2011 when Mini first showcased the prospect of an even smaller hatchback with the Rocketman concept at the Geneva Motor Show. In the nearly four years since, parent company BMW has hemmed and hawed on the possibility of putting it into production, but the latest word from Europe has it that the project is a go. According to Automobile magazine, Mini is realigning its product portfolio into five pillars: the essential hardtop we've already seen (available in two/three- and four/five-doors), the convertible, the upcoming new Clubman wagon (coming this summer with full-size auxiliary suicide doors on both sides), the next-gen Countryman crossover in 2016 and two new model lines. One will be the production version of the Superleggera roadster concept, earmarked for 2018. The other will be the Minor, a smaller city car reviving a long-gone model name and presaged by the aforementioned Rocketman concept. But for that last one, Mini won't go it alone. To develop the mini Mini, BMW will reportedly turn to its partnership with Toyota. The relationship is already set to yield a new Supra and Z4 and share fuel cell and other technologies. But this would broaden the partnership to include a small hatchback. However rather than use the existing (or next-gen) Aygo, which is already built under joint venture with PSA Peugeot Citroen (with which BMW previously had a joint engine venture), word has it that the BMW and Toyota will develop a new platform for the project – one that will be used by both partners. The new product plan doesn't leave much room for the Mini Coupe and Roadster (which have already been discontinued), for the Paceman three-door crossover (which will suffer the same fate) or for the projected seven-seater minivan. But the addition of the new Superleggera roadster and super-mini Mini aren't likely to leave us wanting for either. Related Video:
Hyundai, BMW in plant talks with Mexican officials
Fri, 27 Sep 2013BMW and Hyundai may be joining the rush for the border that has already seen Nissan, Honda and Mazda begin factory construction in Mexico, while Ford and General Motors have both made significant investments in their Mexican facilities. BMW's interest in Mexico has been apparent for some time, and while we'd heard grumblings about Hyundai's move into Latin America some time ago, the last we heard about it was in 2009.
This new move, reported by Bloomberg, doesn't get specific on which models will be produced south of the Rio Grande, and as neither automakers' spokespeople responded to the business site's request for statements, all we really have to go on are the statements of Mexico's Economy Minister, Ildefonso Guajardo: "I cannot talk for them, but I think that starting 2014 we'll have new announcements. At least for one." Which manufacturer that will be remains anyone's guess, although judging by all the recent scuttlebutt that's been going around, the smart money seems to be on BMW. We'll stay with this one.
