1984 BMW 528E sedan, acquired the vehicle as a trade for another vehicle and had plans to clean it up and sell but noticed the oil light blinking when the car is warm and idling. Did a compression check and discovered there are two cylinders without compression. My dad doesn't want to do the repairs on the car so it's being sold for parts or repair. Previous owner had oil changed before it was traded, and the car was a daily driver prior to being traded.
I have had the car about a week, so I will do my best to describe everything I know about the car. It starts, runs, drives and stops - car was driven 30 miles home when traded and made the trip without issue. Everything on the car works as far as I can tell, aside from the rear drivers window which doesn't roll up or down. The battery has a slow drain when the car isn't running but was told that starting the car once daily or disconnecting battery solves the problem, could be an easy fix but have not looked into it. Glove box latch needs to be installed, but is in the glove box. Inspection light is on, I'm guessing due to the engine trouble. Car rides nice once up to speed, but seems like something is clogged up when accelerating - acts like it wants to go but all the power just isn't there. Exhaust is a little louder than it should be, but the car is not loud.
Interior is in pretty good shape, no rips or tears in the leather. Exterior is in good shape as well, not much rust on the car at all. Paint has started fading, more on the passenger side than any other part of the car. Trunk still has original tool kit, and full size spare tire with matching rim. Good tires on the front, rear tires will need replaced soon. Sony cd player works, but the screen does not as far as I can tell. Headlights, taillights, turn signals, brake lights and horn all work as they should and glass is all in good shape with no cracks.
Car definitely has potential, it's in great shape for being 29 years old - we're just isn't familiar enough with BMW's to perform the work needed. Feel free to contact me with any questions, I can take more photos upon request as well.
Thanks for looking & happy bidding :)

BMW i8 will be first production car to use Gorilla Glass
Wed, 07 Aug 2013What do smartphones and the BMW i8 have in common? Glass. Scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass, that is. The i8 will be the first production car to use the chemically hardened material, which is more durable, lighter and provides more sound deadening than conventional laminated automotive glass. We thought it would be a natural replacement for windshields, but, according to Autoweek, BMW said it will be used for the rear window for sound deadening purposes. The Gorilla Glass will still be laminated, with two 0.7mm thick layers of it sandwiching an acoustic sheet, reports Autoevolution.
BMW reportedly claims the i8 will weigh less than 3,285 pounds, and to offset the heavy hybrid powertrain to reach that goal the automaker has implemented lightweight materials normally not found in mass-production automobiles. With a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) monocoque used for both the (relatively) pedestrian i3 and the upscale i8, it's not surprising BMW was also the first to jump onto Gorilla Glass, especially given the timing of a report that a high-end automaker would introduce it within the year.
Be sure to check out our First Drive review of the i8 to see if BMW's newest sports car is living up to the hype.
BMW unleases new M4 as MotoGP safety car
Mon, 10 Mar 2014BMW has some considerable racing prowess to crow about, and draws on those credentials to create models like the new M4. But it's not about to rest on the laurels it's won at the end of innumerable races past and present. Mere months after the release of its latest performance coupe, BMW has already revealed a new M4 touring car for the DTM series, and has now unveiled its new M4 safety car for the MotoGP motorcycle championship.
Revealed on the BMW M Facebook page and set to debut at the front of the grid at the season opener in Qatar a couple weeks from now, the new M4 safety car is just the latest in a long string of official vehicles it has provided to the MotoGP series. Previous examples have included everything from the 1M Coupe to the M6 and the X6 M.
Like its predecessors, the M4 safety car features emergency lighting, special equipment and of course BMW's trademark white livery with red, navy and light blue stripes that, in this arrangement, give the new Williams Martini Racing livery a run for its money. Logos promote the BMW M Performance Parts you can buy to bring your own Bimmer up to spec, which on this car isn't likely have changed much from stock.
2015 BMW i8: Autoblog Technology of the Year finalist
Wed, 19 Nov 2014
Traditionally, nominations for the Autoblog Technology of the Year award are earned for specific developments - a new-think powertrain, a uniquely developed material, a groundbreaking smartphone app, or what have you. In the case of BMW's marvelous i8, it so bristles with novel applied sciences and fresh features that we broke with tradition and nominated the entire car.
We just couldn't help ourselves. Oh, we could've focused on the i8's carbon-fiber monocoque, or its well-resolved plug-in-hybrid powertrain that incorporates a tiny 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine and an electric motor, or its seamless through-the-road all-wheel drive. This is a car that will even have frickin' laser beams for headlights - at least it will for our friends in Europe (and it will in the US, should our legislators ever catch up).
