1988 BMW M5 Mileage: 160K VIN #: WBSDC930XJ2791256 History: AutoCheck Vehicle History Report available upon request Seller Comments: This is a very original and complete E28
M5 that has spent the majority of its life in Northern California. It was
resurrected from storage around 2011 and has only limited service records available.
According to record, the M5 was sold new in NY and passed through the Midwest
before finally making it to California in 1997, which may explain why the car
has some rust found at three of the four jacking points and at the rear lower
rear valence. (Pictures available upon request)
In my opinion, the rust isn’t extensive and a competent and experienced
auto body technician should find the repair not extraordinary. That being
said, most of the paint is factory original and all VIN tags are present on all
panels with the exception of the hood and driver’s front fender, where the hood
has original VIN tag, but has been refinished and the fender appears to have
been refinished and replaced. Overall, I would consider this a solid M5 that is
a good candidate for restoration for those in the know. Vehicle Condition Drivetrain: Motor is stock with no modifications, starts
reliably with smooth idle, runs strong and does not burn or leak oil.
Transmission shifts well in all gears, hot or cold but has typical leak at gear
selector shaft seal or at rear output seal (exact location TBD) and has minor
vibration during idle at/near rear transmission mount. New O2 sensor installed
and M5 recently passed CA smog. Recent engine oil and transmission oil change
with Mobile 1 15w-50 and Redline MTL respectively. New motor mounts. (by
previous owner 04/13) Suspension: (by previous owner 04/13) New upper and lower control arms, tie
rods and sway bar links. New rear subframe mounts and rear pitman
links. Recent front Bilstein Sport struts
(front) and rear suspension SLS delete. (prior to previous owner) Brakes: (by previous owner 04/13) Front and rear calipers rebuilt New front and rear rotors New brake pads and wear sensors New SS brake lines Exterior: (by previous owner 04/13) Windshield and lock strip New trunk and taillight gaskets and
sunroof gaskets New antenna mast Wheels powder coated with new Kuhmo
Ecsta 225/50ZR15 tires Interior: (by previous owner 04/13) New/used dashboard New shift knob and shifter boot New/used factory OEM radio (code needed) New seatbelt latches New AC compressor and receiver/drier (however,
AC does not blow cold) The Seller has made every effort to describe vehicle accurately to the best of his knowledge.

Volvo S90 Recharge, Lexus RX 350 and spring beer picks | Autoblog Podcast #679
Fri, May 21 2021In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. They start off discussing the Volvo S90 Recharge and wonder out loud why the brand's plug-in technology isn't also offered with a wagon body style. They then discuss the Lexus RX350 and why it's likely an ideal premium crossover for a large percentage of buyers. From there, Greg and Jeremy cover some recent news items, including the current state of BMW's coupes and rumors that Toyota's next Land Cruiser will lose its V8 engine in favor of a turbocharged V6. Then it's time to go over some of our current favorite spring beers before turning to the mailbag and spending some listener's money.

Hyundai, BMW in plant talks with Mexican officials
Fri, 27 Sep 2013BMW and Hyundai may be joining the rush for the border that has already seen Nissan, Honda and Mazda begin factory construction in Mexico, while Ford and General Motors have both made significant investments in their Mexican facilities. BMW's interest in Mexico has been apparent for some time, and while we'd heard grumblings about Hyundai's move into Latin America some time ago, the last we heard about it was in 2009.
This new move, reported by Bloomberg, doesn't get specific on which models will be produced south of the Rio Grande, and as neither automakers' spokespeople responded to the business site's request for statements, all we really have to go on are the statements of Mexico's Economy Minister, Ildefonso Guajardo: "I cannot talk for them, but I think that starting 2014 we'll have new announcements. At least for one." Which manufacturer that will be remains anyone's guess, although judging by all the recent scuttlebutt that's been going around, the smart money seems to be on BMW. We'll stay with this one.
BMW i3 wins 2015 Green Car of the Year award
Thu, Nov 20 2014The popular little BMW i3 (popular in the US, at least) was named the 2015 Green Car of the Year at the Los Angeles Auto Show today. The award doesn't just take into account a car's green credentials but also its "availability to the mass market." While the i3 is a bit expensive, starting at $41,350, it is becoming available at BMW dealers across the country, which cannot be said about a lot of other new plug-in vehicles released these past few years. The other finalists this year were the CNG-powered Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel, the Audi A3 TDI, the Honda Fit and the VW Golf. The BMW i3 with range extender gets a fuel economy rating of 117 MPGe and 39 miles per gallon (in gas mode) with a 72-mile EV range. The EV-only version gets 124 MPGe combined (137 in the city and 111 on the highway) and has an EV range of 81 miles. Green Car Journal has handed out the award every year for ten years now, naming the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid the winner last year, the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) in 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas in 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt in 2011. BMW i3 NAMED GREEN CAR JOURNAL'S 2015 GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR" Milestone Carbon Fiber Electric Car Wins the Auto Industry's Most Important Environmental Award at Los Angeles Auto Show LOS ANGELES, CA (November 20, 2014) – BMW's i3, an innovative electric car built with a lightweight carbon fiber passenger cell and an aluminum drive module, has been named Green Car Journal's 2015 Green Car of the Year®, which was announced at the LA Auto Show. Green Car of the Year® finalists also included the Audi A3 TDI, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year® award is an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade. Green Car Journal, the leading voice in the intersection of automobiles, energy, and the environment since the publication's launch in 1992, celebrates the high-profile award's 10th anniversary at the L.A. Auto Show this year. "BMW's i3 is a milestone vehicle in many respects and illustrates the automaker's expansive vision of future motoring," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com.
