You are bidding on a 1985 BMW 524TD 4-door Sedan.
Although considered to be the first modern and relatively quiet diesel automobile,
only 1600 were sold in the United States when offered in 1985 & 1986.
The car is Alpine white with a black vinyl interior.
It has all of the standard power features of the E28 series,
and they all work except for the sunroof and the headrest adjustment (they never work).
The sunroof has some rust on the edge from being parked close to the ocean,
and needs repair or replacement.
It is a 100% California car from Los Angeles, then Monterey Bay,
and recently the San Francisco Bay Area.
It recently overheated, and blew out the coolant.
It starts and runs, but cannot be driven any distance.
My mechanic and others diagnose it as a common head gasket failure.
Since I have owned it, I have had the following repairs and maintenance performed,
and have most of the service records:
Valve adjustment, replace cracked valve cover, replace cooling hoses and connectors,
rebuild entire air conditioning system including compressor and condenser,
replace all belts, drain and refill transmission fluid,repair door locks and windows as needed,
and install custom carpeted floor mats.
This is a car that is worth restoring, it has been a pleasure to drive,
but like any 28 year old car, it needs continued repairs and maintenance.
In good running condition, I estimate it to be worth at least $3000.
Needing major engine work, I am offering it for $1500 or best offer.

BMW Shanghai: Driving in mega cities, designing the future and more
Thu, 25 Apr 2013
The BMW enclave is a suitable mix of high-tech and throwback cool.
A few days before the Shanghai Motor Show kicked off, we were part of an international group of media that was invited to have a look at the BMW Designworks Shanghai Studio and ConnectedDrive Lab facility. The building that BMW found to house its Chinese think tank is in a lovely part of Shanghai known as the former French Concession. The late 1890s and early 1900s French architectural style, brick-paved streets and tree-lined spaces feel a world apart from the ultra-modern heart of Shanghai, and the BMW enclave is a suitable mix of high-tech and throwback cool.
BMW calls in 50,000 motorbikes over fuel pump leak
Tue, 07 Jan 2014If you don't often see motorbikes being recalled, it's probably because there's less to go wrong on a motorcycle. But a problem with the fuel pump on a wide array of BMW Motorrad products has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for over 50,000 of the Bavarian two-wheelers across America.
The issue revolves around the fuel pump flange on R-model, K-model, S 1000 and HP2 motorcycles built as far back, in some cases, to 2005 and as recent as 2012, depending on the model. The flange was found to be prone to crack and leak fuel, which NHTSA evaluated as a fire risk. As a result, precisely 50,184 such motorbikes are being recalled to have their flanges reinforced or, where necessary, to replace the entire fuel pump. If you're the owner of such a Bimmer bike, expect a call from your dealer sometime next month, but you can read the full notice below.
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.
