1991 Bmw M5 E34 on 2040-cars
Morriston, Florida, United States
Looking for an inexpensive way to get into an E34 M5? Here's your chance. It's not show-perfect, but it presents well overall. It's a blast to drive, and you could go for years without seeing another on the road. I've owned 2 of these, and those are the only 2 I have ever seen in person.
I've only owned this car for a few months - and planned to keep it for a long time, as evidenced by the amount of preventative maintenance detailed below. However, I am trying to purchase a business and need to free up some cash fairly quickly. This car was to be a long-term project for me, so I still haven't gotten around to some of the less-important items. I focused on mechanical reliability / durability items first, and so the ancillary systems and cosmetics were lower on the priority list. So, the details: S38 inline-6 cylinder engine in excellent running condition. Does not burn or leak any significant amount of oil (this means, there's no drips or visible leaking on the driveway, undercarriage is dry). As with any 20+ year old engine, I can't guarantee there's not some tiny area of seepage, but I've not seen anything of significance. I've noticed up to a 1/2 quart added between oil changes on average. Gearbox is tight and smooth - no grinding, no pop-outs, synchros work perfectly. IN the last 3 months, the following has been done: Valve adjustment Refinished camshaft cover and plenum with black wrinkle-finish, and new M-emblem. New seals, o-rings, and gaskets for entire induction system Vacuum system gone through, all vacuum lines/hoses replaced, new vacuum caps at each throttle body. Throttle bodies disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and synchronized. New throttle cable and cruise control cable. New accelerator pedal bushings and spring. Updated camshaft chain tensioner (S50B32 version) Fresh lube in gearbox (ATF) and differential (castrol syntrax). New Bosch (OE BMW) plugs, cap, rotor (wires were less than a year old). Every hose in the cooling system has been replaced (not just the big ones, also the dozen or so related to heater plumbing, overflow, degas, etc. Most are OE BMW). New Behr (OE BMW) fan clutch (viscous fan) New Behr (OE BMW) thermostat and o-rings New Saleri water pump New Bosch (OE BMW) fuel pump New Bosch (OE BMW) ignition coil New Hella (OE BMW) auxiliary water pump New Bosch (OE BMW) heater valves Rebuilt Alternator UUC Evo3 short shifter and DSSR New leather knob with backlit ///M stripe pattern refinished leather seats with SEM Classic Coat (front seats have cracking but this refinishing made them presentable again). Will eventually need new leather. refinished door panels, used 3M Di-Noc ebony woodgrain vinyl over original wood grain (could be removed easily if desired). New thrust arms (Meyle HD) New Sigla (OEM) windshield and trims Window tint with lifetime warranty - Formula one tint, 30%. Fresh brake fluid / system bled Brake caliper slides cleaned Wiper arms refinished Wiper cowl cover refinished Inner door skins and drains cleaned and treated with rust-preventing grease. New hood lift struts New Bosch O2 sensor New air filter New interior cabin air filter New HIR headlamp bulbs Recently replaced guibo and fuel injectors, MAF sensor rebuilt. Door panels replaced with improved 1995 style, with gathered-leather inserts, and full leather wrapped/stitched door handles. Car has Racing Dynamics sway bars, SLS delete (Dinan stage 1 kit, I think). Dinan chip Throwing star wheels with good tires all around. Wheels have some scuffs/rash but are straight. Tires have at least 50% tread remaining. Brake pads have at least 60% remaining. Sunroof and all windows/locks work properly. Power seats, including heating, work properly. Problem areas: Headliner is worn, it's not sagging but eventually needs to be re-done Seat condition described above - cracks in leather, general wear all around. Rear parcel shelf needs re-covering. It's covered in black cloth instead of the original gray. A/C was working up until about a week ago. I believe there's a leak in the evaporator core, or the expansion valve, or an o-ring between them. The compressor was working great when the refrigerant leaked out via the evaporator housing. Paint is overall very presentable, but I think it was a medium-quality job, not show quality by any means. A few chips and things here and there but still shines well. NO RUST. Undercarriage is clean. Car has been in the Southeast US its entire life. Pioneer head unit with USB and ipod connection, illumination to match the BMW orange. JBL front component speakers. On Aug-20-14 at 08:10:44 PDT, seller added the following information: Update: I took a look at the Air Conditioning system today. There IS still refrigerant (R134) in there, My gauges read about 90psi, so perhaps my suspicion about the leak is wrong. I think the system will still need inspection, but at least at this point it's not a catastrophic failure from what I can tell. |

BMW M4 Concept bows, takes handoff from M3 Coupe
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Remember how, when the first BMW M4 Concept images leaked earlier today, we told you the official information would be coming later this evening? Well, scratch that. The whole kit and caboodle is now online, meaning all the official details are below, as well as a full gallery of high-res images above.
The replacement for the M3 Coupe, the Concept M4 Coupe shares a number of styling similarities with its dearly departed forbearer. To us, it's kind of like a mishmash of greatest hits from the new 4 Series and the old M3. The 4 Series headlights have grown on us, and the side grilles, which are part of BMW's Air Curtain and Air Breather system, are functional.
The power dome in the hood is smaller than on the M3, but is of a similar shape, while the rear diffuser and exhaust treatment look like they're lifted straight from the old car, aside from being finished in carbon fiber. Speaking of which, the carbon fiber roof sports a new touch, a cool BMW M tri-color that runs the length of the roof on the driver's side. The 20-inch M alloy wheels come in a twin five-spoke design, which has sort of become a calling card of BMW's M cars in recent years. Hiding behind those meaty wheels are M's carbon-ceramic brakes.

Did BMW really win the luxury car sales race?
Sun, Feb 14 2016As anyone who follows our monthly By The Numbers series already knows, the luxury car sales race in the United States was close all of last year as BMW, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz seesawed up and down for sales supremacy. At the end of the year, it was BMW on top of the standings with 346,023 total sales. Or was it? According to data released by Polk, comparing the actual number of vehicles registered between the three top luxury players in the US paints a slightly different picture. Polk's data suggests that only 335,259 BMWs were registered in 2015, compared to 340,392 Lexus models. Why the disparity? It's all a matter of timing. Actual end consumers buy new cars, in almost all cases, from a franchised dealer. BMW delivered 346,023 vehicles in 2015, but only 335,259 of them were registered by their new owners. Presumably, those 11,000 BMWs did (or will) end up registered in the driveways of consumers, but they hadn't before January 1, 2016. Lexus General Manager Jeff Bracken wrote in an email to Automotive News, "Luxury sales leadership as measured by vehicle registrations is important to Lexus as it represents actual consumers engaging directly with our dealers." Of course, it goes without saying that we'll be paying keen attention to the 2016 luxury car sales race as it unfolds. If it's anything like it was in 2015, it'll come down to the wire, and even then may not be entirely clear.
