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,

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!!!

BMW i3 qualifies for both green and white HOV stickers in California

Thu, Jan 16 2014

BMW buyers tend to have enough cash on hand to be buffered from the concept of "sticker shock," but the term may take on a different meaning when it comes to the German automaker's i3 plug-in vehicle and its classification by California clean-air regulators. The first i3 EVs are set to be sold in May, and some are questioning if the new car will be eligible for the state's white stickers or green High-Occupancy Vehicle lane stickers, both of which allow for solo-occupancy in HOV lanes. California gives out white stickers to some types of battery-electric vehicles, compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, and there's currently no limit on the number that can be given out. The green stickers, which are applied to other battery electrics as well as some plug-in hybrids, are limited (there are currently about 15,000 left) and will likely run out within the next year or two. The i3's status is uncertain because of it has an optional gas-powered range-extender. Jacob Harb, head of electric vehicle operations and strategy for BMW, told AutoblogGreen that it's not all that complicated. The pure electric version of the i3 will get the white sticker, the REx version will get the green sticker. He also said that both will qualify for the $2,500 state incentive in California and the $7,500 federal tax credit available in all 50 states (For what it's worth, Green Car Reports says the REx version will only get $1,500 from California).

BMW readying Spartanburg expansion for X7 production

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

Prior to the debut of the original X5 in 1999, the idea of a BMW crossover might have seemed like heresy. But here we are, fifteen years removed from the Frank Stephenson-penned design, and the Bavarian automaker has expanded its crossover lineup to include the X1, X3, X4 and X6, and it's showing no sign of slowing down.
We recently reported that BMW is planning on slotting an X2 in at the bottom of the range between the X1 and X3, but now it's being widely reported that it's got an even larger one to put in at the top of its utility line. That, of course, would be the X7, a long-rumored three-row model that would give BMW a large family hauler to challenge the Mercedes-Benz GL.
According to The Wall Street Journal, BMW is expanding its assembly plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, to accommodate production of the X7 alongside the X3, X4 and X5 that it already builds there for local consumption.

BMW and Samsung team up with Galaxy Gear smartwatch that talks to your i3

Sun, 12 Jan 2014

Without a doubt, the most impressive thing that BMW showed at CES this year was a driverless M235i drifting flawlessly around a wet track at Las Vegas Speedway. However, that bit of robotic helmsmanship wasn't the only trick the German company had up its sleeve. Or, more to the point, on its wrist.
Taking a page from rival Mercedes-Benz, BMW demonstrated how a "smartwatch," in this case the Samsung Galaxy Gear, could be made to function usefully with a vehicle, in this case the BMW i3. Calling it a "research application," BMW showed off its BMW i Remote App on the Galaxy Gear; the app gives information about state of battery charge, available range and whether or not all the doors and windows are closed or open. Perhaps more useful still, the watch can be used to send a destination to the i3's navigation unit, adjust the climate control in preparation for a trip and can recognize voice commands. Nifty stuff, if not world-shaking, that could help tech-obsessed luxury buyers take a second look at the upcoming BMW EV.
Take a closer look at the watch in action below, or read thru the BMW press release.
