1991 Bmw M5 E34 Real Deal Dinan Stroker Car on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
1991 BMW M5 always a CA car. Dinan conversion was done at Dinan with approx 33k on the clock. Please I know selling a budget BMW especially a special model brings out the bargain hunters and I understand everyone wanting a deal. What I ask is you do some shopping and have a clear understanding of what these cars sell for and what their issues are. People see someone buying a car on the internet for $8k showing pics from 15' away with no regard to how it actually functions and WAM! we have the 100 replies that this is a screaming deal and all others should be priced accordingly.
Dinan stroker engine, suspension and brakes. I am a long time car collector who bought this car when I moved to CA to have some fun. It is the most fun you will have at this price point bar none. It has top surface SOCAL fade and clear coat peeling (looks better in pics then it is). Otherwise it is a clean straight car. From 10ft it is fine. Interior is just about flawless for it's age except drivers door panel minor trim separation. Radio alarm went off and will not reset. I have factory code card and I can't get it to stop. Everything else works. Remember this is a sub $15k car that is 25 years old so be realistic. If you have a clean ashtray obsession ask as otherwise I do not think to look at these things. I get in, warm it up and drive it smiling ear to ear. You can buy the $8k stock car and realize it's performance shortcomings and dump $5k into just getting the maintenance work done. You can buy the dolled up $20k car that has minor scratches here and there hidden by over buffed panels and clever photography. Of course the $25k low mile car look like a good buy until you realize it needs just as much work as the cheap one. What I am offering is a nicely sorted M5 with an asking price that just about covers the maintenance performed in the last 10k miles. This car is used EVERY day and does everything it is supposed to no shakes, stumbles, etc. It is a muscle car that you can drive the kids to school in with the A/C on. PPI's are fine as long as the mechanic respects the car and my wishes and understand it isn't a new car. CA buyers I have to obtain a front license plate as it was never given to me when I bought the car and being new to CA didn't realize it was missing. SMOG??? It has always been a CA car and has always passed as is. That said it is a modified car that appears to have all the smog stuff on the car including pump (yes pump is noisy for first couple min common issue and works fine) and stock exhaust. Dinan muffler was removed as per F Fahey. I would rather sell out of state where someone can put in 93 octane and swap out the cats. I hate SMOG and do not want to get involved with it. That said it is currently smogged and registered. Can you drive it home??? YES! If it breaks down I will pay up to $800 towards towing or repair with proof. It will make it no problem. I will also throw in a $300 car cover and radar detector with Buy It Now. I am not interested in hearing about your cars or having the forum self proclaimed master debate me on my car. I am honest seller (look at my rating) who simply wants nice easy transaction. I will gladly assist serious buyers in anyway I can. This is not a stock M5 it is a race car with 4drs. There are faster cars but this thing is more fun then you could imagine making all the noises and tickling the senses that would require another $100k investment to replicate. CAR MUST BE PAID FOR AND PICKED UP BY 4/1/2014. REPAIRS IN APPROX LAST 10K MILES VALVE ADJUSTMENT VALVE COVER GASKET OIL CAP CAP, ROTOR AND PLUGS ALL BELTS FAN CUTCH RADIATOR, HOSES AND WATER PUMP (BMW ANTI FREEZE) AIR FILTER OIL AND FILTER, TRANNY FLUID, DIFFERENTIAL FLUID BRAKES, BRAKE BUSHINGS AND FLUID FLUSH F Fahey lower engine bearings and seals, BLUEPRINTED OIL PUMP F Fahey crank saver $400 part New BF tires less then 800 miles.

European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe
Wed, 08 May 2013Is This A Great Idea For An M Model?
The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe is already an issue of large debate. The essential business case for the car is that it's more distinctive than a straight 5 or 6 Series, and has much of the sense of space and luxury of a 7 Series. It has the wheelbase of a 5 Series, the relative width of a 6 Series, and an exterior length close to the standard wheelbase 7 Series. And, as we reported in our drive of the 640i Gran Coupe in May 2012, the 6 Series Gran Coupe costs pretty much the same as the 7 Series, engine trim for engine trim. The sedan (coupe?) is therefore a proposal clearly meant for an extremely particular clientele. There's no news yet on how well exactly the 6 Series Gran Coupe is selling in its chief markets, but we are curious. The Germans frequently tend not to break out their sales figures that way, mixing sales of the Gran Coupe in with the two-door 6 Series.
And, so, we have now arrived at the inevitable point where the M version must be introduced. Say howdy to the $113,000 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe (actually $115,195 for starters with all of the taxes added). That's $4,650 more than the also highly priced M6 coupe. Let the vehement debates begin. The upcoming 2014 Audi RS7 should be priced right at this level as well, and the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG (perhaps with an S iteration in the next allotment we get Stateside) should go for roughly the same.
BMW says SUVs killed the sports car market
Thu, 13 Nov 2014In many ways, we're living in a golden age of automotive performance. After all, it's possible to show up at a Dodge dealer, hand over about $60,000 and storm away with a 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat. Or for those who prefer a touch more luxury, the BMW M4, Mercedes-AMG C63 and latest Cadillac ATS-V offer between 425 and 503 horsepower, depending on your pick, with a bit more poshness. However, none of these powerful vehicles fit the classic definition of a two-place, droptop sports car, and according BMW head of sales Ian Robertson, that's because the segment is very much in the doldrums.
According to Robertson, two factors seriously wounded the classic sports car market. First, the global economic crisis of a few years ago put a serious hurt on sales, according to Bloomberg. Further worsening the situation, the boom in popularity of luxury SUVs and crossovers in the past few years hasn't allowed for much recovery. Even car-hungry China hasn't helped much because of the smog in many cities and preference among some of the very rich there to be chauffeured.
Combined, Audi TT, BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz SLK sales peaked around 114,000 units a year in 2007, but they are only expected to reach 72,000 annually by the end of the decade. Robertson is pretty pessimistic about the market's comeback too. "Post-2008, it just collapsed. I'm not so sure it'll ever fully recover," he said to Bloomberg.
