Year:1991
Mileage:154000
Location:
Easton, Connecticut, United States
|
This is a 1991 BMW E34 M5 that needs some work but does run and drive. What's most important is that the motor is in great shape and had a top end only a year and half ago. I have pictures of the internals.
154k miles, odometer just stopped working. These are low miles. I have owned the car for the last three years and absolutely love it. I have spent lots of money maintaining it but it just needs more attention than I can give it right now. The interior is in decent shape besides the fact that the headliner is not in, and needs to be re-fabriced. The seats are in good shape, no tears. The dash is in good shape. The carpets are in good shape, but one of the rear door leather panels had swelled and popped off. The two front doors need doors jams replaced, because of this the driver's window will not go down. the two back door jams are fine, and all of the other windows work fine. The sunroof works great. The heat works very well. The AC works but the serpentine belt or pulley is seizing up which causes the power steering to go in an out if vehicle is parked and trying to turn. when moving the steering works fine. For this reason, I do not use the AC. The radio, onboard computer, and all other electrical components work well except for the speedometer (needs sensor). Needs an LKM (Light control module) this is a common thing to wear out on E34's its simply a board that plugs into relay box or you can re-solder the contacts. This causes low beams to shut off sometimes but high beam always works. Suspension: needs front end work/steering work. Just recently developed a steering wobble that is set off by bump. Has some steering play. Needs lower control arms, all 4 struts and springs (makes loud bang when hitting bumps). It will drive around town fine but really should not be taken on the highway. Body: NO major dents. I have replacement hood for one dent in hood. Normal rock chips on front. The clear coat is pealing in one part of the car with pictures below. With a nice buff and wax the original paint shines well for how old it is. only rust is some surface rust on passenger front door that can be sanded- pictures below. Clean title. Transmission: has a third gear grind, needs a new synchro. It will shift into 3rd fine if the rpm's are not super high and if not slammed into gear. It changes other gears fine. regulary changed the fluid- currently has Dex III ATF per BMW specs. Reverse will ever so often pop out if engaging cold but never pop out while moving. It will go in just fine if you try again...not a big deal Motor: mint condition, regularly serviced - oil changes with mobil 1 synthetic 15:50. No oil leaks on this at all, or any fluid for that matter. Valve clearances done. Gaskets replaced. spark plugs regularly. This is the most important aspect of these cars; this is what gives these cars great collector and monetary value and this one is good to go. I had the headgasket done last fall. I have pictures of the internal parts of the motor when this procedure was done! Including valves ground and tested. It has lots of pull and power and life left. Does not leak or burn oil. Modifications: Billy boat tri-flow exhaust, Turner Motorsports Chip, bilstein struts, eibach springs (no more self-leveling), gripforce F1 clutch (only 10k miles on), tinted windows, Weighted M- shifter knob short shift kit, head light out for air intake, euro-plate, headlight skins. Other: Needs new speedometer sensor...this is probably why odometer stopped working. Needs all 4 brake pads and rotors. Needs 1 gas tank strap, it is rigged fine for the last few years. rubber intake boot is taped because has a few cracks in it. Serpentine belt should be replaced. New Parts include Transmission Mounts Flex Disc Front/Rear Sway Bar Bushings the clutch: installed two summers ago upper control arms: 2 years ago headgasket was done last fall, the head was machined, and the valves were all ground, lapped, and water tested. oil filter housing gaskets rear main seal swear bar bushings tires: two summers ago (Michelin MXX4 pilots) 80% remaining Water pump: last fall Radiator: done by previous owner alternator: last fall high quality battery: 3 weeks ago (179.00) I have listed everything wrong with the car very thoroughly. This car has always been serviced by a reputable german mechanic of which i have most receipts for. It has been driven daily, not sat for long periods, and never abused. The longest it has sat was for the last few months and it was started and driven periodically. It does start, run, and drive as it is but should have certain things done (mainly the brakes and front end) before being used as a daily driver again. You are welcome to come test drive it. I have regularly driven it from here to VT and MA and it is fantastic on the highway, and will be once the suspension is refreshed. It has been reliable - never left me stranded. In parts alone its worth a great deal to enthusiasts. My car was also featured on germanautonews.com (i will find the link for the article) Email for more pictures as well. If you are mechanically inlined you can drive and restore this at the same time. Low Reserve. |

Even 'Ring taxi drivers need to respect the Green Hell
Wed, 06 Aug 2014The Nürburgring Nordschleife has the reputation as one of the most difficult tracks in the world to master - deservedly so. With 14 miles of roadway and about 160 corners over a massive amount of elevation change, the amount of grip can change from turn to turn. As the driver of the famous BMW Ring Taxi learned this weekend after a shunt into the barricades, the 'Ring can bite unsuspecting pros just as easily as amateurs.
The video of the incident below shows the M5 oversteering right into the wall as a phalanx of Porsche models arrive behind it. According to Bridge to Gantry, a website that specializes in news about the 'Ring, the taxi's passengers were picked up by another Ring Taxi and driven off with a fantastic story to tell their friends back home. "The accident happened at low speed, there were two passengers in the car, but no one had at any injuries," said BMW spokesperson Cypselus von Frankenberg to Autoblog via email.
The crash also closed track for over an hour to clean up and to haul the stricken BMW away. When a driver making a living from driving lap after lap at the Nordschleife has a crash even as seemingly minor as this one, it just goes to show why the course has the nickname 'The Green Hell.'
2013 BMW M6 Coupe
Wed, 12 Jun 2013The Act And The Exclamation
The 2013 BMW M6 is a rolling obscenity - one that begins with the capital letter "F." It is both the act and the exclamation, the curse and the encouragement. It courts no logic. It is all want and no need, and it is unbecoming of the BMW roundel. Whereas the brand's products once strove to unite man and machine in a duet of blissful performance, the M6 seems built solely to stand between the driver and the road. You are very clearly in its way every second you're behind the wheel, slowing it down and generally being the Monday morning to its two-day trance festival. It's clear this car is very fast, but it has no interest in making you fast in the way that the M3 or even the M5 are wont to do.
But somehow, all that doesn't stop the car from stoking every last lick of lust in your gut. A 560-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 will do that for you.
Recharge Wrap-up: No Tesla Gigafactory deal with California, BMW i3 recalled
Thu, Sep 4 2014Before the Nevada announcement was hinted at, a deal to incentivize a Tesla Gigafactory in California fell through. Tesla was looking for around $500 million in incentives, which the California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development was willing to offer in tax breaks along with making the permit and environmental processes easier. According to Senator Ted Gaines, there still remained "a gap between what Tesla wanted and what California was willing to offer," the contents of which were undisclosed. California could still be chosen for another of Tesla's battery plants, should those ever materialize. Read more at The Desert Sun. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will consider allowing a bit of compliance flexibility to its Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulations for some automakers. CARB will hold a hearing to discuss giving intermediate volume manufacturers (IVMs) - carmakers that do between 4,501 and 60,000 new vehicle sales in the state - some leniency catching up to the larger manufacturers when it comes to clean vehicle production. The ZEV regulation changes take into account the amount of revenue IVMs have available for developing the cars, particularly plug-in hybrids. Read more at Green Car Congress or see the notice from CARB here. Certain units of the BMW i3 are subject to an airbag recall. For cars built March 31, 2014, the passenger airbag inflator may have been assembled incorrectly, which could keep it from deploying when needed. Owners will be notified by BMW, and the problem will be fixed for free. The recall also affects certain 2014 Mini Cooper models. Learn more at the NHTSA website. The Renault-Nissan Alliance is providing 200 electric vehicles to telecommunications company Orange in France. The cars, which will include the Nissan Leaf, Nissan e-NV200, Renault ZOE and Renault Kangoo ZE, will be used mostly for carsharing. Through the program, Orange employees can book a car for work or personal travel using a smartphone. The Alliance will also help Orange install charging stations for the new cars. The addition of the EVs to the fleet will help Orange achieve its goal of reducing its carbon footprint by 20 percent by 2020. Read more in the press release, below. Jianghuai Automobile Company (JAC) is delivering its first 100 EVs to the US. The shipment is part of a larger order of 2,000 cars to be sold by GreenTech Automotive in the US market.
