1986 BMW 535i E28 Euro

I have for sale a beautiful example of a fully euro converted BMW 535i E28.
This is the more rare 535i and it is a manual 5 speed.  Most E28s were automatic, and more commonly 528e version.

The story of this car started as a very clean stock example of a US version 535i with a binder of maintenance records
dating back to almost the beginning.  All maintenance records have been recorded and will be included in the purchase.

The car came as alpine white exterior with cardinal red interior featuring comfort seats and power everything.

I am an aircraft mechanic professionally and restore/build older BMWs in my free time.  After purchasing the car in St. Louis
with 240k miles I drove it all the way down to Savannah Ga without any hiccups.  Drove great with tons of power, never overheating,
and great on gas mileage.

Once I got it back to savannah I began to do a complete inspection and even though this had such a great documented history, 
with all its bushings and ball joints recently replaced within the last 30k miles.  I decided to start with a clean slate.

Ordered all new bushings, ball joints, control arms, end links, tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm, subframe connecting arms, and
brand new BC weld in coilovers.  Everything was replaced brand new and alignment done immediately after.

While I was under the car I replaced rear sway bar end links, and fuel filter.

Next I was on the hunt for all REAL OEM BMW euro parts.  After a long time and 1000s of dollars. I was able to get rid of all the
ugly US spec parts, and build a euro converted E28.  The list of parts below is what comes on the car.

-Chrome Euro bumpers
-Euro headlights w/ grills
-Euro headlight washers w/ spray nozzle (motors are present but not hooked up)
-Complete mint condition Taurusrot M5 interior including manual sport seats (not terrible electric)
-Electric seat center console delete
-M5 black headliner
-Euro M5 side mirrors with driver side blindspot in mirror
-Euro OBC computer in german
-Euro overhead computer checker in german
-Euro heating/air conditioning panel in german and Celsius
-Euro fog lamp panel with dedicated front and rear fog light switch and headlight leveling switch (not hooked up)
-Rare Euro rear headrests
-Euro M5 shadowline tail lights (OEM)
-Euro Black trunk liner and toolbox kit with all tools/extra lightbulbs, & microfiber BMW towel.
-Mason Engineering Strut Bar

Other Goodies:
-Full suspension refresh
-New BC Coilovers (<200 miles)
-Stoptech Stainless Steel Brake Lines
-Caliper refresh and painted with high temp silver paint.
-Full boston acoustic sound system with dedicated amps for speakers and amp for 10" subwoofer under rear seat.
-LIFETIME subscription of XM Sirius radio included.
-All Maint records with Car (HUGE BINDER FULL)
-5 or 6 extra oil Filters
-1 extra can of freon
-3 extra engine belts
-20mm spacers on front wheels
-Chrome E36 DS2 wheels with good tires (wheels have some corrosion)
-Original owners manual
-Fresh oil change
-Fresh Brake fluid flush
-Power steering flush and bled.

The gauge cluster is in perfect working condition.  A lot of times the gears go bad in these.  Odometer reads 249k miles. But dont let
that scare you with the amount of maint that has gone into it.  New gaskets everywhere, mustang 5.0 injectors, rebuilt MAF flapper.

I wouldnt be nervous to drive this car anywhere.  I drove it from St. Louis, Missouri all the way to savannah.  I have taken trips to
Jacksonville and back with no problems.  

This is a great running car, in excellent condition, with an excellent service history, not to mention the amount of rare german parts.
I have never received so many compliments on the interior.  Good condition E28 535i's in manual are becoming harder and harder to come by.


Dont miss out on this great opportunity to own a piece of vintage BMW history, the kind you can still work on...

The Homer to contest 24 Hours of LeMons

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

It's finally happened. A 24 Hours of LeMons team has built the definitive interpretation of The Homer from The Simpsons for competition in an upcoming race. As you may recollect, The Homer is the fictional car designed by Homer Simpson for his brother's car company. Designed with a separate compartment for screaming children and other Homer-centric goodies, the animated machine bankrupted its parent company and put Homer's brother out of a job. Now we get to watch it race other crap cans as it tackles Southern California's Buttonwillow Raceway on June 29. Scott Chamberlain, Kris Linquist, Reid Conti, Ben Reilly and Mike Yepes will helm the machine, and Jeff Herman serves as the team's creative director.
The racer is the latest incarnation of a well-abused BMW 3 Series. The team campaigned the same E30 under the "Prickstine" banner as a Chrysler Imperial tribute and "Porcubimmer," the latter being a riff on the ever-popular joke about the difference between porcupines and BMW models. Never gets old. You can check out a video of the finished Homer below, and be sure to like the team on Facebook to see updates from the race. Now, about that Canyonero...

2014 BMW R NineT

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

BMW is taking a page from the Harley-Davidson playbook with its groundbreaking R NineT. A retro cafe racer with an urban hooligan twist, the bike is fully customizable from fork to exhaust. Of course, any motorcycle can be customized, but the fact that BMW has built its newest bike to encourage modification using parts that can be swapped with simple tools is a radical move for a motorcycle maker best known for its plug-and-play touring bikes.
To underscore exactly how radical, BMW has even partnered with custom heavy-hitter Roland Sands Design, which developed the initial concept for the bike and is now manufacturing a full line of parts and accessories for the R NineT, including radial valve covers ($950), retro racing saddles ($400-$420), radial gauge housing ($400) and a radial headlight bezel ($250), among other things, all of which can be swapped with a socket wrench or screwdriver instead of a hacksaw, wire cutters and TIG welder.
Alas, the bike I tested for two weeks was stock, so consider it a blank canvas.
