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. |

BMW M3 takes on Mercedes-AMG C63 S in track battle from Evo
Sun, Jun 21 2015Over the last few decades, BMW has firmly established an enviable reputation among automotive enthusiasts by making what many consider to be the very best sporty sedans and coupes in the world. Every few years, a new challenger appears from one of the German brand's long list of competitors, but the result always seems to be the same: Close, but no cigar. The latest challenger to BMW's on-track crown comes from Mercedes-AMG in the form of the C63 S sedan. The AMG has a lot more power, an excellent and balanced chassis and it looks beautiful. But is it good enough to outperform the latest BMW M3? We're not going to spoil it for you. Watch the latest Deadly Rivals video from Evo to find out which competitor comes out on top.
Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015
Wed, Dec 10 2014Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.
This is the final BMW M3 Coupe
Fri, 05 Jul 2013Pour some out for the BMW M3 Coupe, folks. Production of the two-door, fixed-roof M3 has officially ended, and the orange car you see here is the very last one.
But we don't just meant the last M3 Coupe of this generation - this is the last M3 Coupe ever, since the next-gen car will launch under the name M4, staying true to BMW's revised nomenclature where coupes and convertibles will use even numbers. (Don't forget, the new 3 Series coupe becomes the 4 Series for the 2014 model year.) There will, of course, be a new M3, but that badge will only be found on the four-door version.
BMW first launched the M3 Coupe in 1986, and since then, more than 40,000 examples have been built. Sedan and convertible versions were added later in the car's life, and BMW says that the current 2013 model year convertible will remain in production until September of this year.
