UP FOR AUCTION IS MY 1997 BMW 528i w/ Manual Trans.

2nd owner car. Very well maintained. California car maintained at Shelly BMW in Orange County CA. Never seen snow, no rust what so ever. 

Exterior: 8 out of 10 (front bumper is cracked due to wife jumping the parking block when she was parking the car and let go of the clutch. 
Interior: 8 out of 10 The interior is very clean! Only problems are the ones I've taken clear pictures of. The passenger front seat has a little blemish on the leather but has absolutely NO TEARS or RIPS!

Vehicle is in excellent condition considering others on the market. It was pampered, garage kept, and maintained at BMW every 5000 miles. Clean title, clear Car fax, and an absolute beauty. I purchased the car when I wasn't even looking to buy a car, but the car was so clean I couldn't resist letting this one go by. I've driven it for a little while and enjoyed it, but need to get rid of it now since there are 3 cars in our household. The only blemish is the front bumper, which was damaged a little when my wife accidentally left it in gear and let go of the clutch.......jumped the front and cracked the bumper, but not a big deal. You can find a new or used BMW bumper on Ebay of CL for $250-$350.

Engine is in great shape. Clutch feels almost new. Tires are good. Car has never given me problems or over heated. Always used premium 91 grade gasoline. Completely well maintained car over all. 

I have everything that came with the car from the showroom including books, 1 original key with remote, original registration sticker, 5th wheel full size spare with matching rim, and all the tools and accessories the car came with. 

This car is an absolute beauty! No doubt!!!

I'm selling the vehicle AS-IS, meaning there is no factory or after market warranty. You can completely inspect the vehicle at the location the car is garaged. You can drive the car home, and the registration tags are NEW till DEC 2013!!!

There will be NO TEST DRIVES, because I am not a dealership and cannot guarantee you will not crash my car. I have no problem if you even bring your own mechanic prior to picking up the car, but there will be NO driving the car, till the vehicle is paid for and title is signed over. 

Due to so much spam and fraud, I will always answer emails accordingly, but no phone calls for information on this auction. The car is also being advertised elsewhere, therefore if someone offers me a fair price, I will sell the car and end the auction early. 

Ask any questions, good luck bidding. Vehicle is in 91040 zip code in my garage. Buyer will be responsible for CA TAX, License, and DOC FEE. Buyer is also responsible for delivery or pick up of the vehicle.

Researchers halfway to cutting carbon fiber costs by 90%

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Carbon fiber has been utilized for decades to build racecars, as a means to cut weight while maintaining strength. But until recently, the space-age material has been largely absent from the street on anything but supercars because of the expense to use it. Recently, BMW signaled a major shift in that trend when it starting using carbon fiber reinforced plastic panels on the i3 and i8. This relatively small scale start might be just the beginning; the German company believes that a breakthrough to inexpensively manufacture the lightweight stuff is just on the horizon.
MAI Carbon Cluster Management GmbH counts BMW, Audi, Airbus, the German government and many other organizations as supporters, and it's researching how to make carbon fiber cheaper to produce, according to Automotive News Europe. The company thinks it can reduce costs by 90 percent in the near future. "We've certainly reached a halfway point on our cost-cutting target for suitable carbon-fiber parts," said project head Klaus Drechsler to Automotive News Europe.
Unfortunately, it isn't entirely clear just what MAI Carbon is doing to make such a huge leap possible. However, a recent post on the company's website talks about a new form a carbon fiber using a thermoplastic matrix that could be cured in less than three minutes. That's compared to about 90 minutes in the traditional process with an autoclave.

This family has a trio of beautiful BMW E28 5 Series

Tue, Jan 6 2015

The Caccavo family is not like yours. They're actually far, far cooler. Rather than dad driving a pickup, mom piloting a crossover and son getting about in a clapped-out compact, each member of the family has their very own second-generation BMW 5 Series. Father Dean's M5, mom DonnaRae's 528e and son Austin's 535is were, remarkably, all purchased for under $10,000, after the family made a maximum-price rule for its cars. The E28 obsession all started innocently enough, with Dean's M5. Shortly after that, DonnaRae snapped up the 535is. When it came time to buy a car, his parents told him he'd need to get a job and make the purchase on his own. He agreed, under one condition – that he was able to buy his mom's 535is. Once the deal was said and done, DonnaRae found she'd acquired the E28 bug, and promptly bought herself the 528e. Petrolicious has the entire story on the Caccavos and their E28s, available in its latest installment. Check it out.

BMW readies EV, hydrogen updates for 2015 Detroit Auto Show

Sat, Dec 13 2014

BMW's stand at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the place to go for updates. News about advances in electric vehicle infrastructure, hydrogen fuel cells (maybe) and BMW's suite of connected vehicles app things will all make an appearance at the show next month. Let's start with what we know for sure. Both the i3 and i8 plug-in vehicles are supremely connected cars. A new announcement from BMW (available below) says that the suite of "Now" – ChargeNow, ParkNow and DriveNow – apps will be extended and available internationally. The updates include things like being able to find new new fast-charging stations and ParkNow LongTerm, which will let drivers find a permanent parking space where they can fill up their batteries. As Jacob Harb, BMW of North America's head of electric vehicle sales and strategy, told AutoGuide, "2015 is the year of infrastructure." While there is no official mention of a fuel cell stack in the official release (and we've asked BMW to see if there's anything to this news), Inside EVs says that BMW will also show off its new fuel cell stack in Detroit. That's the one that Toyota and BMW are working on together, as announced back in January 2013. If it makes an appearance, then it'll be our first look at the powertrain that's one generation beyond what Toyota has now in the Mirai. BMW at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) 2015 in Detroit. On 12 January 2015, BMW will welcome in the new car year by unveiling a raft of new products at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. A fixture on the calendar since 1907, the event originally known as the Detroit Auto Show has a long tradition in the USA. This year will be the 27th time it has been held on an international stage, and more than 200 exhibitors will gather at the COBO Center on the Detroit River to present their latest offerings to a large audience. More than 18 million people have visited the show since 1989. The public days take place from 17 – 25 January. Celebrating their world premieres in Detroit are the new BMW 6 Series Convertible, Coupe and Gran Coupe, as well as the new BMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Convertible and BMW M6 Gran Coupe high-performance models. They will be joined at the NAIAS by the cutting-edge BMW i models and innovative services encompassing the world of electric mobility. And BMW ConnectedDrive will be showcasing its over-the-air regular automatic map updating technology.
