1988 Bmw M5 E28 Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
South San Francisco, California, United States
|
Finally got the heart to sell my families 1988 BMW e28 M5. This car is in excellent shape. This car has been traded around the family for years and its time to let it go. I just redid the entire interior with high quality leather. I also spent over $2500 getting the AC to work again. It now blows super cold and works great. I also upgraded the 1988 stereo (old stuff will be in the trunk). It now places using an ipod and Bluetooth audio. This m5 has all the right modifications and upgrades to make it safe and a pleasure to drive in 2014. I put all the maintenance records in an excel file, the first one dates back to 1991. This car had 200,000 miles by 1998. In the past 10,000 miles the car has received the following maintenance: -New Interior -Power Seat rebuild kit -factory stripe repainted -AC service (blows cold) - Timing chain, guides, and tensioner replaced - Valves adjusted, throttle bodies synced - Compression numbers were taken at 228K and are great, 180 and 5% leakdown - New Fuel pressure regulator - Both fuel pumps replaced - O2 sensor replaced - Throttle position sensor replaced - Fuel injectors flow tested and cleaned - New thermostat - New K&N filter - New windshield and gasket - New sunroof and trunk gaskets - New reverse sensor - New driveshaft and guibo - New control arm bushings - New Power steering hoses - New Aux fan - New Battery - New oil cooler lines The car has also received the following modifications which really enhance the character of the car. Suspension: The self leveling has been removed and it has Bilsteins Sport shocks with H+R 1.5 inch lowering springs. only a few thousand miles on them. The PO also installed Ireland Engineering adjustable front camber plates. All other front end suspension components are new as well. The PO installed Ireland engineering urethane rear subframe bushings and the diff bushing replaced. Brakes: The M5 four piston front calipers were rebuilt and painted them with gloss black ceramic caliper paint. The front rotors are 750iL brand new. Rear calipers are rebuilt and painted and are off of an E34 540i. Rear rotors are vented and brand new. This is a popular and very effective upgrade for these cars. Stainless steel braided lines all around. Porterfield R4S pads. Motul racing fluid. Stops fantastic! Huge upgrade over stock. Motor: The timing chain, guides, and tensioner were done within the last 10,000 miles and the valves were adjusted and throttle bodies synced. The timing chain service had actually been done once before according to the records. The PO just wanted to be extra sure. Compression numbers were taken at like 228K and are great, 180 and 5% leakdown. The PO installed the Miller Mass Air Conversion and programmable WAR chip and after a lot of tuning really maximized the power and smoothness. If you are not familiar with the Miller system check out their website. http://www.millerperformancecars.com/ The PO also installed the polished stainless steel Billy Boat tri-flow cat back exhaust and installed an Innovate wide-band O2 with data logging and analog dash mounted analog AIr fuel ratio gauge. This is a very useful tuning tool. It is mounted in a removable vent and can easily be put back to stock (see pic). I will include a nice little Net Book running windows XP and all the Miller and Innovate software with the sale. The PO also installed a new Diehard Battery. Car runs and sounds amazing! Wheels and tires: The car has Style 42 BBS wheels with custom BBS center caps. Currently have 235/45 General UHP Acclaim tires on them (80% tread). Exterior: The car has been repainted recently and it looks very excellent. Probably the nicest E28 N5 in CA. The windsheild is 2 years old as is the gasket. The sunroof seal is brand new. The trunk seal was replaced and coated the tray it sits in with POR15. Underside is very clean. Windows are tinted. The only rust I’ve seen are some bubbles on the rear wing, otherwise the body is in excellent shape. Garaged winters. Transmission: The trans was rebuilt at some point. The housing looks clean as brand new. Clutch feels perfect. Shifts perfect. UUC short shift kit. New reverse light switch as well. Driveshaft was replaced with a rebuilt unit including new center support bearing and Guibo. Drivetrain is rock solid! Interior: The PO had an awesome leather wrapped Euro dash installed by Kormann BMW in NC. The interior looks very nice, especially with the leather covered dash. Certain spots such as the hand brake handle and the door armrests are showing some as expected with a car this age. Carpet is in good shape. Accessories: -Everything else works great. Cruise control, trip computer, heat, speedo, odometer, all guages, all lights. No ABS light or any other warning lights are on. -Tool kit is missing spark plug tool. I have an aftermarket one that goes with it. |

2015 BMW M3 is fast for the family man
Mon, 13 Jan 2014BMW finally brought its four-door M3 into the public view, showing the new sedan off at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. The new M3 represents BMW's return to small, wildly fast four-door sedans after a several year absence following the discontinuation of the E90 M3 Sedan way back in 2011.
The M3 enjoys the same 425-horsepower, 3.0-liter six-cylinder used in the M4, with 406 pound-feet of torque and the owner's choice of either an old-fashioned six-speed manual or a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission. All told, the new powertrain should scoot the four-door M to 60 in a mere 3.9 seconds (with the M DCT).
We've got a full gallery of live images of the all-new M3 up above, and we've included the original stock gallery down below. Feel free to peruse either, and then let us know what you think by sounding off down in Comments.
Alpina B4 coupe will be your subtle M4
Sat, 14 Sep 2013We're big fans of Alpina here at Autoblog - the BMW tuner has created some seriously delicious products in the past, and recently tuned the diesel-powered 3 Series wagon to create the D3 Bi-Turbo. What we like most about Alpina is how the cars only look subtly more aggressive than stock, yet they pack a real wallop under the hood.
Take this B4 Coupe, recently spotted testing at the Nürburgring. It looks pretty tame compared to the normal 435i, the only visual additions being the Alpina-standard 21-spoke wheels, modified front lip and rear wing spoiler. But under the hood, Alpina is reportedly working on a tuned, twin-turbo straight-six that produces something like 410 horsepower. That means the B4 should be good for a 0-62 time of 4.2 seconds, with a top speed around 190 mph. Rear-wheel drive will be standard, though our spies suggest that Alpina could also use all-wheel drive here in the B4.
We have no doubt that the next BMW M4 will be super hot, but for those seeking a bit more stealth and exclusivity, this Alpina B4 certainly looks the business. Check it out in our gallery above.
Company car offers in decline, but not at The Cheesecake Factory [w/poll]
Sat, 22 Jun 2013As businesses look to keep high-level employees happy, it seems that use of company cars can still be an effective method, although fewer companies are employing it. According to Businessweek, only about 25 percent of companies offer company vehicles as a perk, while less than half give allowances for employees to use their personal vehicles for work purposes.
The report says that one business still in the practice of handing out company cars is The Cheesecake Factory, which offers the benefit to top managers. And we're not talking about some econobox, either. The article indicates the restaurant chain hands out BMWs on a three-year basis - although the company's own report says that the type of vehicle "varies with the executive's level."
Still, we mostly agree with the article's conclusion that money is the best way to keep employees or attract new ones, even if a corporate car is a big perk. What do you think? Let us know, in the poll below, whether a company car could sway you to work for a certain company (not just the Cheesecake factory, where the "Glamburgers" portion of the menu alone is enough to keep a guy hanging around).
