1985 BMW 735i For Restoration/Repair or Parts, Much Invested Over The Years!
I have owned this BMW for over 12 years. It used to be my family car and then my daily driver until I received a company car back in 2003, I had it registered until 2006. Since then I would just start it every month or so just to ensure everything was in proper working order. The last time I drove it around my neighborhood was last summer. At this time I cannot get her to turn over and do not have the time or will to do so (I have 4 other cars I currently maintain for the road). The car is in good condition, especially for the age with an average of only~ 5,500 miles per year. (154,696 total). Everything was working fine on the car with the exception of the A/C when I stopped driving it regularly. The car comes with the original metric size rims in addition to the MSW basket weave rims currently installed. I had owned many BMW's over the years and used to be an avid member of the BMWCCA Pocono Region, I have since migrated towards Mercedes and Porsche (PCA club member).
The Good:
I spared no expense back in the day to make this car right for my wife and children. I installed new Bavarian Autosport Springs, new shocks, new airflow meter ($600+) and much, much more. The car has held up very well over the years and still presents nicely, inside and out. Leather is in Good condition as is the wood on the dash and doors. Running on Mobil 1 synthetic since my purchase.
The not so good:
The car has not been running very much over the last 6 years, sitting in either my garage or under my carport. It has a few small rust spots as shown in photos. There is a small split in the drivers seat, radio is missing, a few minor cracks on the dashboard, one of the rims shows some scuffing. The Continental tires have plenty of tread but exhibit dry rot from sitting so long. It is likely other minor issues may surface as a result of the car sitting as long as it has, I did put fuel treatment in to prevent degeneration and oxidation and fresh gas when I ran it last year.
This car is solid and sure would not take very much to make road worthy again, or could be a great source for parts if needed.
I have 100% positive feedback and will do everything reasonable to ensure this continues.
Will only accept bidders with at least 10 positive feedbacks, $300 deposit due with winning bid balance of payment due within 7 days, cash or Paypal..

BMW CS reinterpretation proves retro can be sexy [w/video]
Fri, 28 Mar 2014Designer David Obendorfer doesn't work for BMW, but perhaps the German automaker should give him a call. His CS Vintage Concept shows a singular ability to understand the brand's classic style and reinterpret it for today. He isn't some amateur, either. Obendorfer has an industrial design degree and has been penning the interiors and exteriors of yachts from the Officina Italiana Design for five years, which counts luxury shipbuilders like Riva and Sanlorenzo among its clients. His website shows a real passion and knack for modernizing '60s and '70s European cars, too.
Obendorfer prefers to reimagine classic automotive styles. "Retro cars are not copies of their predecessors or renovated specimens, rather they are carefully studied reconsiderations, strongly rooted in contemporary style," he tells Autoblog. For the CS Vintage Concept, he worked to update the looks of the seminal BMW 2000CS and its E9 chassis while placing them on a modern platform. Obendorfer's inspiration comes from his belief that the later CS models' design is partially responsible for defining BMW styling, with its shark-nose front and four round headlights.
The CS Vintage Concept's shape starts with a jutting hood and a quartet of LED headlights, but the whole design really comes together in profile. The Hofmeister Kink at the rear pillar with the BMW Roundel is a nice nod to the originals, yet the proportions still find the perfect fusion of classic and modern. The interior is minimalist, with a vast expanse of wood for the dashboard at first glance, but the latter opens to expose the car's infotainment system.
Audi to spend $17 billion to fight BMW
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It's no secret that VW Group, parent company to not only Volkswagen but also Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati brands sold in the US, is determined to become the world's largest automaker. Even more impressive is that VW is prepared to spend billions to make it happen.
With that comes word that VW Group will be spending $17 billion on its Audi brand over the next three years to push itself above rival BMW. The money will be invested in both vehicle development (including lightweight auto design and alternative powertrains) and facilities (including expansion in Hungary, China and new operations in Mexico). The luxury brand is focused on global manufacturing infrastructure.
Already Europe's best-selling luxury brand, Audi's objective is to overtake BMW by the end of the decade by selling more than two million cars per year (BMW is shooting for 1.54 million sales in 2013). If those objectives are met, VW Group should be on track to be the industry's volume leader by 2018.
Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
