1994 Bmw 540i Clean!!! Rust Free!!! on 2040-cars
Duluth, Minnesota, United States
|
I have a 1994 BMW 540i automatic which is in excellent condition despite having 179,xxx miles! I'm located in Duluth, MN.
As far as the car goes I haven't owned it long, but here is a list of what's been done as far as maintenance goes within the last year: -Valve cover gaskets(8/01/13) -Voltage regulator (2/20/14) -Power Steering flush (2/20/14) -Thermostat (8/01/13) -Crankshaft Position Sensor (12/08/13) -O2 Sensors (12/08/13) -Throttle Body gasket (12/08/13) -New Battery (12/08/13) -Electrical System check (12/08/13) -Vacuum test (12/08/13) [hence the throttle body gasket] -Serpentine belts (4/05/14) Most of these were preventative maintenance and not because they had to be replaced. No modifications except for a muffler delete. I also just put new tabs on which are good through March 2015. It has brand new Firestone Winterforce tires on the rear, but it has older all season tires in the front. Haven't had any issues this year with all the snow we've had. The control arm bushings are getting old and make some rattling noise over bumps, which is a common occurrence with these cars. There are kits for $160 to replace all the front control arms and bushings. I just never got around to fixing them, and the rattling never bothered me too much. I will throw in a set of H&R lowering springs that are brand new (came in the mail 4/07/14) for the right deal. Otherwise I will save them for another future E34 I'll probably end up with. The engine is smooth and the transmission shifts as it should but it was recommended to me that I replace the shift cable. It's not a pressing matter by any means. It functions as it should and I have had no issues whatsoever, but the shop said it may need to be replaced but I think they were just trying to get more money out of me. One reason I did not replace it was because I tracked down a complete bolt on 5 speed swap kit for it, which I can put you in touch with the owner of the kit if that is what you desire. The body itself is in amazing condition. The car was originally from South Carolina and was undercoated when new. There is one small dent on the drivers side rear passenger door from a motor cycle, but it is hardly noticeable. There is no rust whatsoever. The interior is in good condition. The driver's seat is a little beat up and needs a new cable for the seat back, but all power functions work.The aftermarket radio works, but has a loose wire so it cuts out if you hit a big bump, then you just push it back and it works. Other than that it is great. It even has a built in car phone...that works! I have a clean title in my name as well. I welcome you to come inspect the car before purchasing but rest assured I will be honest about everything because I have nothing to hide. I'm just looking to get into a newer car. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. On Apr-14-14 at 11:18:18 PDT, seller added the following information: There have been some concerns about the AutoCheck report stating that there was a discrepancy with the odometer. This is a result of an error at the DMV when reporting the mileage in 2001, and the mileage is accurate at 179,950. The miles will go up slightly due to daily driving, but rest assured that there was no rollback or cluster replacement. |

BMW M1 really was the Ultimate Driving Machine
Thu, 29 May 2014Life giving you lemons? Make lemonade. That's the spirit in Munich that lead to BMW producing the only mid-engined sports car in its 98-year history. The project resulted from a collaboration with Lamborghini (now owned, incidentally, by arch-rival Audi) to meet Group 4 homologation requirements. Lamborghini withdrew, the FIA changed its rules, but BMW built it anyway.
Arguably one of Giorgetto Giugiaro's finest designs, the M1 packed a 3.5-liter inline-six, driving 273 horsepower to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual. The Procar racing version turbocharged that output up to 850 hp and attracted the top drivers in a one-make F1 support race series.
Over the course of three years, the Bavarian automaker only built 456 examples of the M1, and for BMW enthusiasts, there's no vehicle more coveted. But don't take our word for it - let Petrolicious tell one noteworthy owner's tale in the video below.
134K BMW 5 Series recalled for taillight issue
Fri, 20 Sep 2013BMW is voluntarily recalling 134,100 cars due to a faulty ground terminal in the taillight bulb carriers, causing the sudden failure of brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights. The recall covers 2008 through 2010 5 Series models produced between March 1, 2007 and December 31, 2009, and includes everything from the 528i to the mighty, V10-powered M5. It's unclear if this recall is limited to sedans or extends to the 5-Series Touring.
There have been no reported cases of injuries, fatalities or crashes associated with the taillight issue. BMW will be issuing recall notices to affected owners in the coming weeks, asking them to report to dealers so that the bulb carriers on the taillights can be replaced. All repairs are, naturally, free of charge. Scroll down for the official recall notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The 2014 Alpina B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio powers up luxury and speed
Tue, 04 Mar 2014The BMW specialists at Alpina know how to exploit a niche when they see one. With the BMW M4 still not technically official, it saw the need for a higher performance four-seat convertible than the 435i 'vert. Enter the new B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio that is debuting at the Geneva Motor Show.
The European-exclusive model takes BMW's 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-6 and massages it up to 410 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, which is less power but more twist than the M4 would give buyers. Alpina's tend to be built more as quick, luxurious grand tourers, and the B4 Bi-Turbo gets is no different with an adaptive sport suspension and an eight-speed automatic. Plus it wears the classic pinstripes and 21-spoke wheels that are the brand's design hallmarks.
While the added weight for the convertible means that the Cabrio takes 4.5 seconds to reach 62 miles per hour, about a half-second slower than the coupe, at the moment it is the only way to get this kind of performance in a BMW convertible. Orders for the convertible open in March in Europe and prices in Germany start at 74,800 euros ($102,878 at today's conversion rates).
