REAL DEAL DINAN STROKER SUPERCAR DONE AT DINAN SHOP

This is the HOLY GRAIL of E34 M5'S. As per Dinan only a handful ever done and maybe 1 of 1 in color and options. This is not a mats and accy's Dinan badge car. This is a car that was taken to Dinan at approx 38k to be turned into a super car with 4drs. In 1991 dollars almost $90k was spent on this car inc purchase price. Thats Ferrari money in 1991.

Was taken to Dinan to have a Stage 2 Dinan stroker, complete suspension with SLS delete and their brake upgrade. Also has Dinan camber plates. Stroker included new engine and 1 camshaft. Orig docs state stage 1 but orig owner states stage 2. I was told this was done for smog purposes. I have pics of cams and was told not stock as lobes have chamfer on edges. Honestly there is no reason he would lie as he provided every receipt and invoice for the car. Also one drive and you will be convinced. Suspension includes springs, shocks, struts, SLS delete and adjustable sway bars. Brakes include Dinan upgraded calipers and lager rotors. At 4k she just gets going, suspension will hang with 911's and was one of the best braking cars of it's era.

Car comes with 1" of receipts from almost day one. I am not that great at keeping part receipts so if I say it is new you can obviously see they are new. No I don't have a stamped book on a 25 year old car. Basically everything that can be a wear item has been addressed at least once if not 2x's if needed. This is a car you get in, turn the key and drive across country with no issues.

That said it is a 25 year old car that was BMW'S hot rod. These cars are noisy, shake, smell just like a real Hot Rod. It is a raw driving experience and is why purists pay premiums for them. Be realistic in your expectations. I am honest seller that uses car DAILY! Ask any of the other car owners for sale if their car can be used daily. There is a HUGE difference in a car that is worked out and one that is dolled up but has hidden issues.

Below is list of items changed in approx last 10k miles. Please note add up the cost even if you did yourself and you almost have the asking price of the car.

Tires BF Goodrich under 500 miles. 245 fronts and 275 rear 17x8.5 and 17x10 rear rims. Rims through F Fahey and he clearenced rear and rolled lips. They fit perfectly and have perfect tire wear on old and this set. FFahey also did an alignment.

MK Motorsport wheels. I know chrome is not everybody's deal and isn't mine. They are light and fit pertly. You can have powder coated.

Hood and trunk shocks all 4

Radiator, ALL hoses, water pump, thermostat, BMW anti freeze (vac drained and filled)

fan clutch

valve adjustment

valve cover gaskets

spark plugs, rotor and cap

TPS switch

all vacum hoses

tb sync'd

Fuel sender, fuel filter, hoses, Injectors new matched and flowed set,

engine mounts

tranny mount

oil pan gasket and main seal

blueprinted oil pump Fahey

Lower engine bearings Fahey

crank saver $450 part F Fahey

Short shifter FAHEY bush upgrade

clutch master and slave

brake fluid flush

all belts

all belt tensioners

a/c service NOT a Pep Boys $5 can redo. A/C Is cold and doesn't leak.

Also recent complete rontrt end and brakes maybe 20k miles. Car has been well maintained and drives super nice with no e34 wander on suspension brake shudder. All windows operate. No seat twist. I use car daily to take kids to school. No drama just turn key and go.

What car needs: paint, it has clear coat fade and lifting. All panels have vin except hood but it's number has fallen off and by the looks of it I would say orig one, lower engine shields put back on. Have new hardware. Front piece has torn hole installs with zip tie, about time for chain tensioner new upgraded one is included but not installed, radio does not work and i have no idea why as it just shut down. i have code card. Couple exhaust hanger rubber I have new ones from BMW. SRS light cam on when I was cleaning car. I accidentally caught sensor on cloth and it undid connection. I will have rest or credit $100. There are NO issues it is the sensor being unconnected. Has rear oil drain small leak, $5 part or $200 repair. They all leak do research.

CA buyers, it has passed smog every year since new in CA. I have tons of regi's and smog receipts. It is currently has a 2015 refi tag. That said I hate smog or anything to do with it. It has passed for 25 years and will be delivered AS IS. NOTHING was done to car to indicate it wouldn't pass today but at this price I would rather not get involved. Any other state zero issues. Also I do not have front plate and have to go to DMV to get front plate. I WOULD RATHER DO OUT OF CA SALE AND WILL DISCOUNT FOR THAT. If you live in CA you understand.

Nice car that can easily compete with the $25k cars with a paint job.Always a CA car. I have been quoted $3500 and $5000 to have painted. Price reflects this. Again this is not a stock M5. It is not a backyard install it was done at Dinan and is not just a badge car it is the real deal all you can get Dinan super car. There is no other car that is as road and track capable as this car for the money.

Why am I selling? I have medical issues that do not allow me to enjoy the car anymore. Time to pay 5x's for a car that is half as capable.

PLEASE SERIOUS ONLY. You win, you own end of story. i DO NOT ACCEPT ANY EXCUSES I DO NOT CARE WHAT IT IS IF YOU HIT BUY IT NOW. IT IS A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT. I will gladly assist any serious buy in any way I can but do not assume anything if you have a special request.

This is a $12k car not a $120k new one please be respectful and read above before asking questions. Long winded?? Yes, but it should answer. 99% of questions.

WITH BUY IT NOW I WILL THROW IN A RADAR DETECTOR (CAR WIRED FOR IT), A $300 CAR COVER AND A CASE OF OIL. Thats about a $800.00

Thanks and get to bidding!!!

2014 BMW 2 Series configurator drifts online

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

Monday marked the official, live unveiling of the 2014 BMW 2 Series. Not a company to rest on its laurels, BMW has unveiled the online configurator for the replacement to the much-loved 1 Series. Potential customers can select from either the 228i or go all-out and get the M235i. We shouldn't have to explain which car we've been building all day.
As a recap, a base 228i starts at $32,100 not counting a $925 destination charge. It includes 240 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque and, when optioned with the six-speed manual rather than the eight-speed automatic, a perfect 50/50 weight distribution (the 8AT balances at 50.3 in front and 49.7 in back). The M235i, meanwhile, starts at $43,100 (although you can't actually buy one for that, because the configurator forces you into a $1,450 Dakota leather interior). It offers up significantly more grunt, with 320 hp and 320 lb-ft from its 3.0-liter, turbocharged straight six.
Click over to the configurator and play around.

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

One of the many perks of this job is, not surprisingly, the cars. It's relatively easy to snag the keys to a vehicle for a special occasion, whether that be for a road trip, tailgating or helping a friend move. And while sometimes the tailgating might happen with a Ford F-150 instead of a Range Rover and the road trip might be in a minivan rather than a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, occasionally the stars align and a special vehicle arrives for an equally special time.
That's exactly how I found myself dressed to the nines and behind the wheel of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, a $135,375 (as-tested) rocket ship, en route to a rare multi-wedding weekend to celebrate with two pairs of my closest friends on the biggest day of their lives (a very special congratulations to Kara and Zach, and Laura and Andrew). Continuing with our nuptial theme, the M mechanicals and the 6 Series Gran Coupe body are a match made in heaven.

BMW M3 driving off cliff is a chilling PSA

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

We're a little shocked that the unnamed owner of this cliff-diving E46 BMW M3 would upload the in-car footage of his accident to YouTube. Not only that, he uploaded two videos: raw footage of his roll down the cliff (it looks like somewhere in the Southwest, maybe Arizona) and a tribute video for his BMW that suffered the most severe consequences of understeer. Not only does uploading the videos leave him wide open for judgment by fellow enthusiasts (just read the YouTube comments), but we imagine if the police and his insurance company somehow don't know about the incident already, they will shortly. Scroll below to view for yourself.
The raw footage shows the sort of driving that led to the M3's violent tumble, and it serves as a good public service announcement reminder for everyone out there: Just like the Spengler's streams, double yellow lines aren't meant to be crossed. Also, hard driving is one thing, but hammering on public roads at speeds clearly above your skill levels as a driver is not only a recipe for legal trouble, it's a script for ruining your car at the very least, if not your life.
