Purchased this car not long ago in hopes of slowly restoring the car as I enjoy it, but I have another project in mind and selling this will help fund it(another ///M car and my first motorcycle!) If you have questions don't hesitate to ask, happy to take more photos as well. I will try to represent the car as openly as possible, but its often easy to forget a few details.
The car has been maintained well by every owner and it shows(a thick booklet of receipts...), seems like everything has been gone over once, some things multiple times. Overall its a great running example that has a few blemishes here and there, but still looks great even from 5 feet away. Over the summer I took the car on a 1700 mile road trip, as well as a few cabin trips and it had no problem doing so. If you are in the market for an E28 M5 you will have found that a $5000 car can easily be a $20,000 car, this one is a car you can enjoy right away and change it as it suits. The car is also very clean, including frequent washings, treating of all rubber seals, interior detailing and never bringing food into the car. My immediate plans were to re-cover the aging interior parts, have the light rust treated over the winter, and order custom coilover suspension to improve ride and handling. Recent Maintenance(last 1000 miles): Motul 15w50 engine oil New OEM air filter Motul 75w80 Transmission fluid Motul 75/90 Rear Differential fluid Spark Plugs Fan clutch Notes: Tires are nearly new Hankook Ventus V12 Most electronics work: Seat adjusments, windows, sunroof, check panel, on board computer are the most notable that often aren't working. AC needs to be recharged. Do not know the code for the radio, but after entering 5 characters it beeps, and the antenna raises and lowers when its turned on, presumably it works. Most of the front suspension replaced with new Lemforder parts by previous owner, still in great shape. From what I can tell non-smoker, no smell and the ash trays look new. Central locking only works from trunk. The engine was replaced, currently it has 87,000 miles. At some point someone got carried away with an orbital polisher, on edges the paint has been slightly worn off revealing the primer. Rust has started under the two front jack points, and slightly on the adjacent panels, its minor at this point. I was quoted $1100 to fix. Other than this its very clean, with no rust under the doors, in the trunk, or the damper mounts. There are several small door dings around the car. All panels have VIN sticker suggesting no serious accidents. Front drivers side bumper cover is slightly cracked. Dash is cracked, as has some of the leather has as well. Trunk spring needs replacing. Things changed from stock: Turner Motorsports Conforti Chip Koala LSD rear rebuild (3.91:1) UUC motorsports shifter Paul Grey Thrust Arm bushes E34 Rear brakes Stainless Brakes lines Front brake ducts For the buy it now price I will complete the following(had parts already as I was planning on keeping the car): New front rotors and pads(currently slightly warped and I don't like the pads, loud when cold) Flex disk Powerflex front sway bar bushings Lemforder front end links Powerflex rear sway bar bushings Valve adjustment(due in 3000 miles) |

2013 BMW M6 Coupe
Wed, 12 Jun 2013The Act And The Exclamation
The 2013 BMW M6 is a rolling obscenity - one that begins with the capital letter "F." It is both the act and the exclamation, the curse and the encouragement. It courts no logic. It is all want and no need, and it is unbecoming of the BMW roundel. Whereas the brand's products once strove to unite man and machine in a duet of blissful performance, the M6 seems built solely to stand between the driver and the road. You are very clearly in its way every second you're behind the wheel, slowing it down and generally being the Monday morning to its two-day trance festival. It's clear this car is very fast, but it has no interest in making you fast in the way that the M3 or even the M5 are wont to do.
But somehow, all that doesn't stop the car from stoking every last lick of lust in your gut. A 560-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 will do that for you.
BMW ponders increase in i3 production capacity on early demand
Wed, 16 Oct 2013The 2014 BMW i3 is not slated to hit US showrooms until the second quarter of next year, but the response BMW has received for the all-electric hatchback has been positive enough that the automaker is already considering boosting production capacity. Bloomberg Businessweek reports that more than 8,000 customers have reserved an i3 so far, which is high, especially considering that BMW only planned to sell 10,000 i3s total in 2014.
Talking to BMW CFO Friedrich Eichiner, the report says that if the demand holds for the i3, BMW would increase capacity accordingly. The i3 goes on sale next month in Germany before a global roll out in the US, China and Japan, and with a starting price of $41,350, it is priced slightly higher than current small plug-in vehicles offered in the US like the Chevy Volt, Ford Focus Electric and Toyota Prius Plug-in, though features more use of advanced, lightweight materials.
Evo pits BMW M3 against Porsche Macan in drag battle
Sun, 24 Aug 2014If you want to move five passengers in very rapid fashion and you've got a $75,000 budget, two newly introduced four-door models immediately come to mind - both are the highest performing vehicles in their respective segments. But which is faster off the line, to the 60-mile-per-hour benchmark or flat-out over an even longer run? Evo took both to paved aircraft runway to find out.
In lane one we've got the all-new Porsche Macan Turbo, which boasts a twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 rated at 400 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. The Porsche is fitted with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, and the 4,244-pound crossover has the traction advantage of standard all-wheel drive. In lane two is the all-new BMW M3, powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It is also equipped with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, but only the rear wheels of the 3,595-pound sedan are driven. Both the BMW and Porsche arrive with launch control, which helps to remove driver error off the line.
Which automaker's launch control system is better off the line? Does all-wheel-drive grip give the crossover the advantage it needs to overcome its adversary's power-to-weight advantage? Will aerodynamics factor into the results? Which would you put in your garage, and why? The video may surprise you.
