For sale is a 1986 BMW 524td. These do not come up for sale very often so here is your chance to have one of the coolest and rarest 80's turbo diesels! This car has never run veggie oil or bio diesel, but it is a great candidate for a conversion. You would probably have the one of the few BMW bio-diesels around!
This car shows 175k on the odometer but do not let that scare you. These engines are bullet proof and even the gasoline versions regularly go well over 250k.
I just replaced, within the last month, the:
Water pump
Timing Belt
Injector bypass fuel lines
fuel filter
Glow plugs
The fuel tank has also been dropped and cleaned.
CRACK FREE DASH!! Just unheard of!!!
Chrome style 5 wheels off of a 7 series.
The car has a salvage SC title.
The damage was apparently not bad at all because I have been all over and under this car and there are absolutely no signs of damage. The only indication that something happened is that the car has been repainted in the original Bronzit Beige color.
This car does have some small issues here and there but not any more than any other e28. For instance the windows are slow. The main blower motor has seized but the A/C blower motor works fine. The A/C does not blow cold and I am not going to say it just needs to be charged because I don't know what is wrong. The windshield washer does not spray. The odometer gears are broken and the drivers side seat back leans a little on the left side. But what can you expect from a 27 year old car? Please ask questions. 828 335 0290

BMW looking to save billions with cost cuts
Wed, 18 Jun 2014BMW is planning a fairly extensive overhaul in a bid to recoup some its annual costs, with CEO Norbert Reithofer (pictured above) aiming to save three to four billion euro ($4 to $5.4 billion) per year to help keep the company's profit margins between eight and 10 percent, while also maintaining investments in production expansion and new tech. BMW's profit margins sat at 9.4 percent in 2013.
According to Automotive News Europe, Reithofer is none too pleased about costs at Mini and on the 1 Series, although neither AN nor its source story, from Germany's Manager Magazin, elaborate on what steps could be taken to improve losses on either project. That makes it hard to figure out just where the fat will be trimmed from.
What may happen, though, is that BMW attempts to trim 100 million euros ($135 million) from its German labor costs each year; a solution hinted at a few weeks ago by Germany newspaper Muenchner Merkur. While a dramatic cost reduction, 100 million euros still doesn't begin to even approach the savings envisioned by Reithofer.
BMW recalls diesel X5 models over fuel filter heater
Mon, 19 Aug 2013
BMW has announced that it is recalling 1,540 examples of its 2009 and 2010 X5 xDrive35d crossovers produced between June 13, 2009 and November 9, 2009.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the model's fuel filter heater, which warms up the diesel fuel at low outside temperatures, can experience an electrical overload condition that may cause it to become permanently activated. This means the fuel filter heater could remain activated even when the ignition is off, which could lead to a dead battery. It could also lead to overheating, possibly resulting in a fire.
BMW M6 amped up for track duty by Risden
Sat, 22 Dec 2012Risden Engineering is a bit of an unknown, if we're being completely honest - we have yet to report on the company to date, and its corporate website is really an information desert save for the name and a few email addresses. Even the press release that we requested from Risden's contact person is short and vague. That's all pretty much okay with us as long as the shadowy tuners, you know, make good on this sweet-looking BMW M6 racecar thing.
Dubbed the Risden 6R, we're told that the M6 modification will result in a vehicle that is more adept at track work, while still being street-legal. In terms of specifics, we read that a full aero kit will be involved, with one fixed and one retractable rear wing (hard to miss). There are obviously new wheels, and the company has also added a fully adjustable suspension, a four-point roll bar and a new braking system - all while reducing curb weight overall.
Apparently more details are to follow after the 6R's official release in the first quarter of 2013. We wait with bated breath.
