1988 Bmw M5 E28 Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
South San Francisco, California, United States
Finally got the heart to sell my families 1988 BMW e28 M5. This car is in excellent shape. This car has been traded around the family for years and its time to let it go. I just redid the entire interior with high quality leather. I also spent over $2500 getting the AC to work again. It now blows super cold and works great. I also upgraded the 1988 stereo (old stuff will be in the trunk). It now places using an ipod and Bluetooth audio. This m5 has all the right modifications and upgrades to make it safe and a pleasure to drive in 2014. I put all the maintenance records in an excel file, the first one dates back to 1991. This car had 200,000 miles by 1998. In the past 10,000 miles the car has received the following maintenance: -New Interior -Power Seat rebuild kit -factory stripe repainted -AC service (blows cold) - Timing chain, guides, and tensioner replaced - Valves adjusted, throttle bodies synced - Compression numbers were taken at 228K and are great, 180 and 5% leakdown - New Fuel pressure regulator - Both fuel pumps replaced - O2 sensor replaced - Throttle position sensor replaced - Fuel injectors flow tested and cleaned - New thermostat - New K&N filter - New windshield and gasket - New sunroof and trunk gaskets - New reverse sensor - New driveshaft and guibo - New control arm bushings - New Power steering hoses - New Aux fan - New Battery - New oil cooler lines The car has also received the following modifications which really enhance the character of the car. Suspension: The self leveling has been removed and it has Bilsteins Sport shocks with H+R 1.5 inch lowering springs. only a few thousand miles on them. The PO also installed Ireland Engineering adjustable front camber plates. All other front end suspension components are new as well. The PO installed Ireland engineering urethane rear subframe bushings and the diff bushing replaced. Brakes: The M5 four piston front calipers were rebuilt and painted them with gloss black ceramic caliper paint. The front rotors are 750iL brand new. Rear calipers are rebuilt and painted and are off of an E34 540i. Rear rotors are vented and brand new. This is a popular and very effective upgrade for these cars. Stainless steel braided lines all around. Porterfield R4S pads. Motul racing fluid. Stops fantastic! Huge upgrade over stock. Motor: The timing chain, guides, and tensioner were done within the last 10,000 miles and the valves were adjusted and throttle bodies synced. The timing chain service had actually been done once before according to the records. The PO just wanted to be extra sure. Compression numbers were taken at like 228K and are great, 180 and 5% leakdown. The PO installed the Miller Mass Air Conversion and programmable WAR chip and after a lot of tuning really maximized the power and smoothness. If you are not familiar with the Miller system check out their website. http://www.millerperformancecars.com/ The PO also installed the polished stainless steel Billy Boat tri-flow cat back exhaust and installed an Innovate wide-band O2 with data logging and analog dash mounted analog AIr fuel ratio gauge. This is a very useful tuning tool. It is mounted in a removable vent and can easily be put back to stock (see pic). I will include a nice little Net Book running windows XP and all the Miller and Innovate software with the sale. The PO also installed a new Diehard Battery. Car runs and sounds amazing! Wheels and tires: The car has Style 42 BBS wheels with custom BBS center caps. Currently have 235/45 General UHP Acclaim tires on them (80% tread). Exterior: The car has been repainted recently and it looks very excellent. Probably the nicest E28 N5 in CA. The windsheild is 2 years old as is the gasket. The sunroof seal is brand new. The trunk seal was replaced and coated the tray it sits in with POR15. Underside is very clean. Windows are tinted. The only rust I’ve seen are some bubbles on the rear wing, otherwise the body is in excellent shape. Garaged winters. Transmission: The trans was rebuilt at some point. The housing looks clean as brand new. Clutch feels perfect. Shifts perfect. UUC short shift kit. New reverse light switch as well. Driveshaft was replaced with a rebuilt unit including new center support bearing and Guibo. Drivetrain is rock solid! Interior: The PO had an awesome leather wrapped Euro dash installed by Kormann BMW in NC. The interior looks very nice, especially with the leather covered dash. Certain spots such as the hand brake handle and the door armrests are showing some as expected with a car this age. Carpet is in good shape. Accessories: -Everything else works great. Cruise control, trip computer, heat, speedo, odometer, all guages, all lights. No ABS light or any other warning lights are on. -Tool kit is missing spark plug tool. I have an aftermarket one that goes with it. |

Official pics of BMW M235i surface ahead of coupe's debut
Thu, 24 Oct 2013BMW isn't supposed to debut the 2 Series until tomorrow, according to Carscoops, but that hasn't stopped these photos of the 1 Series Coupe replacement from leaking onto the web. First picked up by a BMW 2 Series enthusiast site, the photos eventually found their way around the web, and complement the spy images we showed you of the uncovered 2 Series from almost six months ago.
This particular car is the M235i, and will serve as the range-topping 2 Series. As the number "35" is affixed to this car's tail, there's no question that the engine powering this example is BMW's turbocharged, 3.0-liter six-cylinder. As we reported earlier this month, power for the M235i should sit around 320 horsepower, blessing the 3,240-pound coupe with a 4.8-second sprint to 60 miles per hour when equipped with an eight-speed automatic (a six-speed manual is also available, but drops the time down to an even five seconds).
While this isn't a full-bore M car like the 1 Series M Coupe, it has been touched by the company's in-house tuning division, which means it sports a racier body kit, blacked out grilles and M-labeled interior items, like the steering wheel.
Xcar checks if BMW's i8 offers moves as electrifying as its looks
Sat, 02 Aug 2014If you were to plot the general opinion about hybrids since their introduction among auto enthusiasts, the resulting graph would likely be shaped somewhat like a "V." In the beginning interest was high, simply due the novelty of these new powertrains, then the line would gradually fall as the models got the stereotype of being boring commuters. Today, though, things might be back on the upswing. Vehicles like the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 and BMW i8 are showing that a hybrid doesn't have to be synonymous for dull. In its latest video, Xcar Films aims to find out if BMW's electrified sports coupe actually earns the brand's old moniker as the ultimate driving machine.
While the focus here is on what the i8 is like behind the wheel, one of the main highlights for the viewer is the interesting ways that Xcar shoots the BMW. It's not necessarily a beautiful vehicle, but seeing it in motion reveals all sorts of little intricacies that still photos don't pick up. For example, our eye catches the flying buttresses and little crevices scooped out of the corners when we get a look at the rear. It's just a fun car to look at.
With its 1.5-liter, turbocharged, three-cylinder engine and electric motor, the i8 positions itself as the future of automotive performance. But its intriguing looks and cutting-edge use of carbon fiber would be wasted if the coupe didn't drive well. We won't spoil the final verdict, though, you'll have to watch the video above.
Audi tops BMW and Mercedes in luxury sales
Tue, May 12 2015April was a good month for Audi, as the four-ring automaker beat out both Mercedes-Benz and BMW in sales. Bloomberg reports that it was America's appetite for CUVs like the Q5 and ancient Q7 that helped Audi move nearly 153,000 units around the globe. It's not all good news, though. Audi's worldwide sales only jumped by 2.5 percent, compared to BMW and Mercedes, whose sales increased 5.6 and 11 percent, respectively. On top of that, BMW is still the best-selling brand (of the three, anyway) so far in 2015, outselling Audi by roughly 9,000 units and Mercedes by about 23,000 vehicles. Considering the faster growth of its rivals, it's unclear if Audi will be able to hang onto the monthly sales crown beyond April, or if BMW will continue its reign as the world's biggest luxury automaker.
