Rare 1995 Bmw E34 540i 6-speed Manual on 2040-cars
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States
|
If you are looking at this listing, you know how special and rare this BMW is. This is one of the finest sport sedans, 0-60 in 6 seconds, 6 speed manual transmission, beautiful V8 tuned sound, great handling. It is my unfinished project. Bought the car for $3000, which is dirty cheap for a decent running 6-speed E34 540. Had it repainted (no accidents or rust as you can see on the pictures) at $1800, installed 18" 7-series wheels and wide tires (245 and 255 50-18 at over $1200), re-did all the front end at $1200, fixed the AC ($550), replaced the tail lamps with smoked units ($176), installed clear markers, front and fenders ($75), bought a complete interior from a Euro CC to replace the worn front seats (($500 but did not install them), bought another steering wheel with air bag to replace the worn unit in mine ($150). etc, etc. It starts and runs fine, feels great on the highway, no vibrations or pulls, good brakes, runs cool, very reliable. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere, but it is sold as is, no warranty of any kind. Just like any other car of this vintage, there will be things to complete and repair. It is not perfect. Has a small engine oil leak and it will take some cosmetic work to bring it to show quality. Still has a few minor dings, caused by hail after it was painted. (The pictures reflect the actual condition of the car, were taken this weekend).

BMW performance engineering boss wants an M7
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Audi has the S8, Mercedes has the S63 AMG and Jaguar has the XJR, but BMW has always held that an M7 wasn't justified, leaving its associated Alpina line to tackle that market with the B7 (pictured). The chief engineer at the M division, however, feels otherwise.
Speaking to Autocar, the BMW M development chief Albert Biermann indicated that he would like to see the M division do a performance version of the 7 Series to compete with the above-mentioned models, but that there are no current plans in place to do so. Neither did he specify what kind of engine it would have, or if it would be badged, for that matter, as an M7 or an M Performance model.
The latter is the approach which the M division is reportedly taking with performance versions of BMW crossovers beyond the X5 M and X6 M, such as the X3 and upcoming X4. The division is also said to be developing a performance-tuned xDrive system to compete with AMG's new all-wheel-drive models, as well as a potential M3 GT to join the new M3 sedan and M4 coupe with a slantback bodystyle.
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer getting third row
Sat, 23 Aug 2014In what enthusiasts will likely see as a continued attempt to dilute the BMW brand, the German manufacturer is testing a three-row variant of its already controversial 2 Series Active Tourer. Our trusty spy photographers captured images of the new, front-drive MPV testing on the roads of Europe.
The easiest way to ID this more passenger friendly 2er is its slightly longer length, which will allow it to accommodate seven people in total. As our spies point out, this should make the 2AT an attractive proposition for European taxi companies. Yep, BMW built a car that will be praised by taxi drivers. On top of the extra seats, the rear overhang appears larger as well, which should mean extra cargo space.
This, of course, is not the first time we've captured images of a new 2AT variant undergoing testing. Back in May, we spotted a hybrid-powered variant out for a drive.
Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively.
