This auction is for
an extremely rare 5 speed manual limited slip differential 1980 BMW
528i project car. This car does need some work before putting it back on the
road, so it should be towed away, not driven any long distances. First off this
is a great low mileage project car that does not need that much to make it
awesome. I purchased it about two years ago and I have done a lot of repairs to
it, to get it roadworthy again. The car does currently run and starts right up
but I believe one of the valves is slightly bent producing a clicking noise in
the engine. I do have the original title for the car that has been
written out to me in the buyers section, but I never titled the
car because in Georgia cars more than 25 years old don't require
titles. The original title and a Bill of Sale will be provided to new owner. There is very little rust on this car, there were a few spots, but I welded in new steel in those areas to seal everything up. I installed new brembo front brake rotors, new pads, and a new caliper as well. The transmission shift well, and the car actually handles pretty good. The tires all have good tread but they are getting old and starting to crack a bit. The interior is in good shape, but much of the seat stuffing foam has deteriorated as is common on these cars.There is only one small crack on the dash and most of the real wood trim looks good. The car does only have 63,000 miles on it. The sunroof works and some of the windows, but because the car has sat for so long some of the switches are not functional, This will need to be gone through to check connections, etc. to get everything working 100%, but should be minor problems as no wires are cut or anything like that. The body overall looks great, though there are some small dents and chips here and then, and on the trunk lid someone ruined the clear coat be putting brake fluid on it. Otherwise the paint shines great and is relatively clear. This would not be a show car but it is good driver quality paint. The major problem with the car is with the engine, I had been re-doing most of the engine area, starting with a rebuilt head. Unfortunately my machine shop failed to notice what I assume is a slightly bent valve. And now once we put it all back together the engine has a clicking noise in one cylinder. The engine otherwise runs good and does not overheat. Here is a list of upgraded parts in the engine bay. 1. Rebuilt head with
modified rocker arms, stronger than factory....unfortunately one slightly bent
valve will need to be replaced. 2. Silicone hoses 3. 2002tii intake
runners for increased power 4. Sandblasted valve
cover and intake repainted silver 5. New Spark plug wires,
distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs 6. New belts 7. New exhaust studs I am sure there are a
lot of other things I am forgetting... Again this will make a great project for someone, and I have spent much more than I am trying to sell it for. I just don't have time to keep going on this one. I had intened to make it into an M535i replica, maybe the next guy or gal... I will include many spare parts with the car as well, and I have some rare performance parts that I will sell separately, like a Kamei front spoiler, an exhaust header, and 15 inch BMW deep dish alloy wheels. Let me know if you have any interest in those as well. Lastly, this is not a perfect car but it is far from a parts car as well, with a little work this could be a reliable driver or an awesome performance sedan...Thanks for bidding! There is no battery with this car, if you do not have one with you I can put one of mine in to load it up, but it is not included with this sale, if shipping I can install a new one for you at your cost for the new battery. |

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
BMW 8 Series revival not coming anytime soon
Mon, 19 Aug 2013If you thought the BMW Gran Lusso Coupe concept that was shown at Villa d'Este a few months back was a preview of a new BMW 8 Series, prepare to be disappointed. According to a report from the UK's Autocar, BMW officials have "rejected suggestions" that a production model based on the concept was coming. To be fair, though, would you expect them to just acknowledge it?
The Brits seem to be thinking the same, as the story went on to quote BMW research and development chief, Herbert Diess, who claimed, "We're looking into the possibility of production, but a decision is still a way off." Diess also points out that it's far too early for anything to be confirmed, seeing as how the concept only debuted about 10 weeks ago.
The well-received Gran Lusso was penned by Pininfarina and motivated by a brawny, twelve-cylinder engine. If it were to enter production, it'd likely sit at the top of BMW's gas-powered offerings, and would compete against the Mercedes-Benz CL AMG and Bentley Continental GT.
The BMW 2002 Hommage is a retro concept done right
Fri, May 20 2016BMW has been building hommage cars for years now. They're teases that let us know the designers remember what was great about BMW design past, even if that's not always obvious in the new cars. The latest tribute car is this 2002 Hommage, which makes its debut at the Concorso d'Eleganza at Villa d'Este this weekend. Like past hommage cars, the 2002 is more about design than mechanicals. BMW doesn't even mention what theoretically powers this car, and frankly we don't care. There are clues, however, from the classic livery, which includes an M tri-color front splitter with "obrut" ghosted over it, similar to the reversed text on the original '02 Turbo. We'll guess it's a powerful turbocharged engine under the hood, whatever the specifics are. View 17 Photos Neat details abound. There's a carbon-fiber band at the beltline that is supposed to recall the original 2002's chrome trim. The greenhouse is more slick 2 Series than boxy '02, and the flared-fender goodness is a definite nod to the homologation 2002 Turbo. The off-center roundel at the tail is another nice 2002 touch. We're into the ducktail spoiler out back, and, although not quite '60s-specific, the snowflake wheels are pretty great. Even the lighting elements are retro-tinged. The headlight lenses have a gold hue since this is the golden anniversary of the 1966 model. There are also separate turn-signal units embedded above the headlights, here stuck into a piece of carbon trim. Of course, this hommage is likely nothing more than eye candy. BMW uses them more as design exercises than forecasts of future styling. It's good daydream fuel, at least.
