Very Special 1985 BMW 735i
The car has essentially been in one family since new. I bought the car from this family several months ago. It is reluctantly for sale as I have too many cars. It was bought new by a gentleman as a retirement gift to himself in ‘85. He owned it until ‘96, and then handed it down to his son. It has always been garaged and covered. It has never been in an accident. It passed California’s smog test with flying colors, 1 month ago, with a performance chip installed. The registration is current and it the title is in my name.
It has been conscientiously maintained over its 176k miles. I have the owner’s manual, brochure and 27 years of service receipts! Only OEM maintenance items have been used to ensure factory-correct performance. Only high-quality fluids have been used such as Mobil 1 synthetic for engine, Redline for transmission/differential, ATE Blue/Gold for brakes, and BMW coolant. This is a beautiful, carefully built car and is an unbeatable value for a BMW enthusiast.
Recent maintenance done:
tranny fluid, diff fluid, clutch fluid, PS fluid, coolant, oil & filter, spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, HVAC repair (cold AC!!!), v-belts, engine mounts and a new brake hydrobooster.
These models are disappearing fast and I feel it’s important that this very special car goes to someone who can appreciate the car for what it is. It would be very expensive to build a car like this today.
Here is a list of changes made to improve performance, drivability and aesthetics:
Suspension:
Custom-valved Bilstein shocks/struts and H&R sport springs
OEM front swaybar w/ urethane bushings, rear adjustable 19mm swaybar with urethane bushings
Dinan fixed front camber plates
Dinan rear adjustable (for camber) subframe
Hartge front strut brace
Engine: stock with E.A.T. performance chip. The stock chip is also included.
Exhaust: B&B Tri-flow cat-back exhaust; original catalytic converter
Mechanicals:
Getrag 260/5-speed manual transmission by Jim Blanton of PerformanceGearing.com
M5 clutch plate and disc
3.91 limited-slip differential with 50% lock also by Jim Blanton of PerformanceGearing.com
UUC short shifter providing crisp, definitive shifts
Wheels: 245/40-17 Sumitomo HTRZ-III tires on 17x8.5 BBS RC wheels. The RCs are discontinued, lightweight wheels that weigh around 17.5 lbs. each.
Brakes:
Porterfield R4-S street pads that are no dust, no noise and have high heat capacity producing far better performance than OEM or Metal Masters
BMP stainless steel brake lines
Exterior:
New paint in 2008 in the original Bronzit-beige; there are no discernable scratches
All body panels are straight and true with only one minor PDR-able dimple on the passenger-side front fender, as well as a very light scratch next to the driver's side front turn signal, which I have pictured.
European bumpers and front valence and rear OEM spoiler
Cibie low beam headlights from Daniel Stern lighting
Interior:
Cobra Daytona sport seats – fully adjustable for recline with great lateral support; much more comfortable than OEM
Momo steering wheel – smaller than stock and provides greater steering input with less motion. An immaculate, leather wrapped stock steering wheel is also included in sale.
OBC works
Factory tool-kit included, complete with RED SCREWDRIVER is installed in rear trunk-lid.
Items needing attention: Cruise control lever is floppy, but still works. There is a slight leak in the power steering that has recently come to my attention. There are several small crack on the dash.

Six 'shut up and take my money' cars
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Any time you see this iconic moment in pop culture - Shut up and take my money! - posted in response to a new car reveal, rumor for an upcoming model or even lip-service to a vehicle that should exist, you can bet there's some intrinsic good in the idea. Though depending on the person offering up the cash, that good could take the form of extraordinary form, functionality, weight savings, power, handling, etc. You get the idea.
In fact, when I first proposed this list, I reached out to the Autoblog staff to help me brainstorm. Here are some of the ideas they offered up that I ultimately didn't use: Jaguar XE Coupe, Pagani Huayra Roadster, Mercedes-Benz S-Class "parade car" (cabriolet), Morgan 3-Wheeler with Ducati V-twin, Ford Transit Connectamino (pickup), Mercedes CLA63 AMG, Ford Fusion 5.0, BMW i8 Spyder, Lexus RC-F Shooting Brake, Volvo XC90 Polestar. Oh, and things we collectively wanted to stick Dodge's Hellcat in were almost as numerous as models that Fiat Chrysler Automotive currently makes (though none quite so compelling as the Grand Cherokee you see above.)
Ultimately though, while I used a couple of ideas from my colleagues, the list of cars I'd shell out for unquestionably is very personal. Though it isn't complete, what follows is a selection of cars whose very existence would prompt me - or the trust-fund-baby versions of me - to utter without hesitation: "Shut up and take my money."
Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker
Sat, 02 Aug 2014
There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.
BMW celebrates 30 years of M5 with 600-hp super sedan
Wed, 07 May 2014It's been 30 years since BMW rolled out the first M5, and while displacement and cylinder count may have fluctuated over those past three decades, output has only increased. The first-generation E28 M5 packed a 3.5-liter inline-six with 252 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. The second-gen E34 model that followed added an extra 100 cc (and later 200 more) to produce 310 hp and 266 lb-ft. The E39 followed with a 4.9-liter V8 churning out 394 hp and 369 lb-ft, replaced by the award-winning 5.0-liter V10 in the E60 with its 500 hp and 380 lb-ft before BMW rolled out the latest model with a 4.4-liter V8, its twin turbos making up for the two dropped cylinders and 600 cc of displacement to produce 560 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. But even that's being left in the dust by the new special edition you see here.
The 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 packs that same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, but cranks the output up to a nice, round 600 horsepower and a solid 516 lb-ft of torque to go with it. That makes it more powerful, not only than any M5 that's come before it, but also any of its rivals. The Jaguar XFR-S and Audi RS6 Avant (the latter only available as a wagon and not in North America) both lag behind this ultimate of Ultimate Driving Machines; only the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG trumps it on torque (but not on power), with 531 lb-ft in stock form and 590 in the S-Model.
As a result, the 0-60 time drops from a quoted 4.2 seconds in the stock M5 to a scant 3.7 in the 30th Anniversary edition (just one tick behind that twistier E63 S). The special M5 also comes with the Competition Package as standard, as well as a dedicated control module for the Active M Differential, a special Frozen Dark Silver matte finish, 20-inch alloys and black chrome badges. Special badges abound inside as well, where you'll also find black leather and Alcantara upholstery and aluminum trim. There'll even be a dedicated one-day course offered to owners at The Thermal Club in Palm Springs, CA, to further sweeten the deal.
