   1991 BMW M5 always a CA car. Dinan conversion was done at Dinan with approx 33k on the clock. Please I know selling a budget BMW especially a special model brings out the bargain hunters and I understand everyone wanting a deal. What I ask is you do some shopping and have a clear understanding of what these cars sell for and what their issues are. People see someone buying a car on the internet for $8k showing pics from 15' away with no regard to how it actually functions and WAM! we have the 100 replies that this is a screaming deal and all others should be priced accordingly.

  Dinan stroker engine, suspension and brakes. 

  I am a long time car collector who bought this car when I moved to CA to have some fun. It is the most fun you will have at this price point bar none. It has top surface SOCAL fade and clear coat peeling (looks better in pics then it is). Otherwise it is a clean straight car. From 10ft it is fine. Interior is just about flawless for it's age except drivers door panel minor trim separation. Radio alarm went off and will not reset. I have factory code card and I can't get it to stop. Everything else works. Remember this is a sub $15k car that is 25 years old so be realistic. If you have a clean ashtray obsession ask as otherwise I do not think to look at these things. I get in, warm it up and drive it smiling ear to ear.

  You can buy the $8k stock car and realize it's performance shortcomings and dump $5k into just getting the maintenance work done. You can buy the dolled up $20k car that has minor scratches here and there hidden by over buffed panels and clever photography. Of course the $25k low mile car look like a good buy until you realize it needs just as much work as the cheap one.

 What I am offering is a nicely sorted M5 with an asking price that just about covers the maintenance performed in the last 10k miles. This car is used EVERY day and does everything it is supposed to no shakes, stumbles, etc. It is a muscle car that you can drive the kids to school in with the A/C on. PPI's are fine as long as the mechanic respects the car and my wishes and understand it isn't a new car. 

  CA buyers I have to obtain a front license plate as it was never given to me when I bought the car and being new to CA didn't realize it was missing. SMOG??? It has always been a CA car and has always passed as is. That said it is a modified car that appears to have all the smog stuff on the car including pump (yes pump is noisy for first couple min common issue and works fine) and stock exhaust. Dinan muffler was removed as per F Fahey. I would rather sell out of state where someone can put in 93 octane and swap out the cats. I hate SMOG and do not want to get involved with it. That said it is currently smogged and registered.

  Can you drive it home??? YES! If it breaks down I will pay up to $800 towards towing or repair with proof. It will make it no problem. I will also throw in a $300 car cover and radar detector with Buy It Now. 

  I am not interested in hearing about your cars or having the forum self proclaimed master debate me on my car. I am honest seller (look at my rating) who simply wants nice easy transaction. I will gladly assist serious buyers in anyway I can. This is not a stock M5 it is a race car with 4drs. There are faster cars but this thing is more fun then you could imagine making all the noises and tickling the senses that would require another $100k investment to replicate.

CAR MUST BE PAID FOR AND PICKED UP BY 4/1/2014.

Together, this gas-electric mechanical duo is capable of propelling the groundbreaking carbon-fiber sports coupe from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.2 seconds.
Join Translogic host Jonathon Buckley as he heads to Santa Monica, CA for a chance to drive the all-new BMW i8.

Toyota Supra, Rolls-Royces, dozens of BMWs recalled for backup camera issue

Wed, Oct 9 2019

Weeks after Nissan and Infiniti recalled more than 1.2 million vehicles for a potentially dangerous programming oversight in the backup camera settings, BMW has issued a recall for similar problems. The recall, which covers 257,481 vehicles, includes numerous BMWs, as well as two Rolls-Royce models, and the 2020 Toyota Supra.  In total, the recall potentially affects 51 different products. This includes the 2018 BMW 540D, 2018–2019 BMW 640I, Rolls-Royce Phantom, 2018–2020 BMW 530e, 530i, 540i, M5, M550i, X3, 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, 2019–2020 BMW 330I, 740Le, 740Li, 745Le, 750Li, 840i, M340i, M850i, X4, X5, X6, X7, Z4, and 2020 Toyota Supra. On certain BMW models, xDrive variants are also included. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V684000, "The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rearview image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse." If there is no display image when backing up, drivers can't properly see, and the car no longer meets modern safety regulations. Specifically, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."  The recall was filed on September 27, 2019, and BMW plans to begin notifying affected owners in November. BMW, Toyota, and Rolls-Royce dealers will update the vehicles' software, which should fix the problem. 

BMW M3 and M4 CSL not in the cards

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

We aren't sure whether to file this one under "good news" or "bad news." BMW confirmed to Top Gear that there "are no plans" for lightweight versions of the new M3 and M4, in the same vein as the E46 M3 CSL (despite rumors to the contrary). The reason?
"There wasn't a CSL on the previous generation, and the way we look at it is like this: the CSL was great because it had this real focus on lightweight engineering. But we've already done that with these new cars. We've made them as light as possible - they come in under 1500 kilograms (3,306 pounds), which for a car like this is incredible," said Matt Collins, BMW's product manager for small to medium cars.
Now, as much as we love the idea of a hardcore version of any car, we appreciate BMW's point of view that the newest Ms are already as light and tough as they need to be. Collins elaborated, saying, "Rather than doing a halfway house to begin with and then rolling out a CSL, we thought we'd make the 'real' car as light as we possibly could. So we've no plans whatsoever to make a lighter, harder version just yet."
