Where do I start ? I am an OCD, anal maintenance maniac that skimps on nothing. I am close to 50 years old and take care of my stuff. This car was never abused or mutilated. This gem has been gone through from front to back. As most BMW enthusiast know the E38 sport Black/ Black is the last year, the best year, and the one to buy. The sport gives you the sport seats, the lower 3:15 gear ratio, shadowline blacked out trim, M pars staggered sport wheels, M 3 spoke steering wheel, and an improved lower torque converter. It drives much better than an ordinary base model. The only way to go. Straight out of the "Transporter" movie, that hooked me on this car. LOL

I bought this car from and older gentlemen who garaged it and took very good care of it. The interior is a 9. The exterior is an 8 to be critical. It shines very nice but has some nicks on the front and few scratches. Needs a nice detail and polish. I get compliments every time I take the car out but as I said I am anal so being critical. It is an accident free car and a non smoker.

What has been done: I blew a hose a several months ago and made the mistake of trying to get to the next exit. Big mistake, head gasket blew. I elected to find a low mileage replacement motor instead of playing w/ this motor and then possibly still having other issues. So I located a low mileage 80K motor in mint condition from Bavarian motor works. Very happy I did this because it was so clean and mint inside it was better than my motor!! I have pics of everything even inside the motor. It was a t bone accident car so taken car of till the day I bought it which I liked. And it showed.

While doing this motor job, and intending to keep the car for many years, I skimped on nothing. From reading all the forums and known 4.4 E38 issues I addressed them even if it didn't have the problem. I did EVERY gasket, seal, O ring, and hose on the is motor and car. I even put in a new heater control valve a very expensive item. New motor mounts. You can't even feel the car running. The rear main seal was replaced while the motor was out, intake seals, vanos seals, valve cover gaskets, valley pan gasket, oil pan gasket. I didn't want to have to take a chance on any gasket or seal once in. As you can imagine this was very expensive. New radiator. New water pump, new clutch fan. Any item I saw I replaced, I didn't want to play around later. I was in it for the long haul.

The trans was serviced w/ the correct BMW spec fluid and a BMW filtran filter. It shifts perfectly and crisp.

The rear differential fluid was changed w/ Mobil 1 75/90 synthetic gear oil. The fuel filter was replaced w/ a BMW filter.

The power steering fluid was changed to synthetic also.

New NGK platinum spark plugs

Alternator is 1 year old Bosch

I put new Bilstine Sport struts along w/ H&R II lowering springs, and all new BMW hardware -- Handles fantastic.

New Callahan performance drilled and slotted rotors Zinc coated w/ new pads, low dust---stops on a dime and straight

20" Advanti rims w/ new Nitto Invo low profile tires- Handles great wet and dry and quiet ride

New BMW dealer Alignment done at BMW specs--yes they have a special procedure!

new knock sensors, new O2 sensors

New serpentine belt

New air filter

The notorious E38 glove latch is broken- a new one is included 190 dollars!!!!!!

The original staggered M pars w/ michelin tires are included in the sale.-Very good condition.

Oil was recently changed w/ 0w/40 Mobil 1 and a Mann german filter

The E38 is notorious for missing dash pixels---not so here they are all working

The windshield was peppered up from years of use and it has a new windshield- 1 year old perfect clarity

The radio has a Dice Ipod integration unit usable through the steering wheel controls

New Berber floor mats w/ 740I embroidery

Includes original sticker and all the BMW books and 2 BMW keys

Ice cold A/C

Everything works, no knocks tapping, smoking or otherwise. This is a beautifully running and driving E 38 and a real gem. I have driven many of them and owned several BMW's, this baby is a gem.

Theres more I am sure but this is what I can remember as of now. An '01 E38 short sport-not an easy find in good condition. This is a very nice E38 not easily compared to some mystery cars I see advertised w/ little maintenance. Are their cheaper e38's...yes...will they cost you in a short time to equal this car--yes. This car is all done and no mystery. Believe me I am in for much more than my asking price---- 12,300. Thanks for looking! CARFAX: Please note I saw 7 owners when I bought the car and inquired to find out 2 were the same owner in 2 states being reported as a new owner 2 times. Ga, and Fla. Then a dealer and an auction. For whatever that is worth.

Now remember, if you intend to become the "Transporter"

Rule#1- No new deals, when it's a deal , it's a deal

Rule#2- No names

Rule#3- DON'T open the package!

Rule#4- Never make a promise you can't keep

BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coup'e concept echoes 8 Series

Tue, 14 May 2013

BMW and Pininfarina are planning to debut a new concept at the 2013 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. The Gran Lusso Coupé is designed to be the next logical step forward from the Zagato Coupé, and the one-off creation boasts plenty of BMW earmarks to set the car off as a true member of the German automaker's family. With a long wheel base and a stretched nose, the two door can't help but channel the long-dead BMW 8 Series, and the potent V12 under the hood only reinforces the link.
BMW has been kind enough to slip the world a few teasers, and the images show what looks like it could be the low-slung grand tourer of our dreams. Check out the full press release below for more information, and stay tuned for the full unveiling.

Hamann M6 Gran Coupe is all flared and shiny

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Oh, Hamann. After rolling out the ridiculously pink Mystère at this year's Geneva Motor Show, the tuning company has worked its mirror-finishing magic on the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, debuting this, the aptly named "Mirror" at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It sure is shiny, and a full 40 millimeters wider than the standard M6 GC.
Hamann says that the, um, "tailor-made suit" exterior treatment is made up of a new front bumper spoiler with large air intakes, side skirts, a new rear spoiler, and wing extensions out back. And the end result is... well, let's just call it noticeable. The special BMW rides on unique 21-inch wheels and sits a full 25 millimeters closer to the ground, as well.
As far as we can tell, Hamann hasn't upgraded the M6's 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 at all, though there's a new sport exhaust system that "depending on the application area, either noisily announce its presence or purr sportily." Sounds like it's as loud as its newfound appearance.

BMW 1 Series getting a small nose job

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

As BMW prepares to launch its new 2 Series lineup, it appears that the current 1 Series is going to get a little attention for itself. Based on these spy photos, the 1 Series hatchback (F20/F21), which is not offered in the US, will be getting a minor facelift in the near future.
From what we can see in these images, the updated 1 Series will definitely be getting a tweaked front end, with most of the attention focusing on the air intakes and grille. Our shooter tells us that it is possible that the headlights may yet be reworked in some way by the time we see this car in production form. It still isn't clear if we'll ever see this bodystyle or the next-gen 1 Series in the US, but our most recent report seems to indicate that the car's fortunes will depend somewhat on how well the Mercedes CLA-Class and Audi A3 sell.
