Up for sale is my 1988 BMW M5. I bought the car late 2011 from it's original owner in Alameda, California and had it shipped to Baltimore. The car is all original with the exception of the suspension which has been replaced with a Dinan Stage 1 kit and the wheels which are E34 M5 without the covers.
Timing chain parts are still orginal but I replaced all front end components with Lemforder parts last year.
Car burns absolutely no oil but does leak a bit. An overview of other maintenance is below. I have a crack free dash that goes with the car as well.
Compression numbers are as follows:
1)220# 2)220# 3)220# 4)230# 5)225# 6)230#
Chain and guides are original. Absolutely no slap or rattle at start up. If the next owner has money to burn, go ahead.
Personally, I would wait until the vehicle showed symptoms before i would replace them.
SLS as well as front springs and shocks replaced 3/18/03 with Dinan Stage 1 at a cost of $1,938. Mileage was 102,786.
Driver's seat hip bolster is bent towards the driver's door. Most are. Shoulder bolster shows average wear. Carpet is as perfect as 23 year old carpet can be. No stains, tears, or wear spots. This summer I removed the seats and used a hot water extractor to clean the carpets. Back seat looks like it was never used. Passenger front has no significant wear.
Original wheels and spare. Wheels have been professionally refinished by Wheels America on 11/5/02 at a cost of $444.92
Dash has several cracks all centered around the top air vent. Again, what E28 doesn't.
The amazing documentation includes EVERY SINGLE REPAIR RECORD.
In addition to window sticker, delivery checklist, original invoice, all keys, anti theft radio card, "The Ultimate Driving Machine" front plastic tag, etc. Original sales brochure for the E28 M5 as well the E30 M3. I guess the PO considered both.
As far as front end parts. Upper and lower control arms, inner and outer tie rods, center link, idler arm. Upper control arms were torqued on the alignment rack when the vehicle had weight on them. They have the 750 bushings. Lower control arms are aluminum. I also replaced rear dogbones but not rear subframe bushings. Those bushings come with the car. I didn't replace them as I couldn't justify the expense.
Tool kit is complete down to the unused blue rag.
Paint is getting thin as there are spots were the M strips have been rubbed through.
Valve cover "seeps". Top of the engine IS NOT wet. Oil pan is wet and it's gasket could stand to be replaced. Car DOES NOT mark it's territory.
Radiator is original to the car. Water pump was replaced at 66,676 on 06/04/97 at a cost of $479.07
Fuel lines are original.
Car last passed smog on 1/20/11 @ 114,014 at a cost of $110.75. Work was done by Speedy Smog in Alameda, CA.
Cats are original.
A/C is still R12 and works great.
Clutch was replaced on 11/22/02 @ 100,708 at a cost of $1,585.18. Transmission fluid was replaced and shifter was rebuilt at this time.
Front rotors done 5/25/04 @ 104,619 at a cost of $387.39
Suspension is tight but I think the car could use some extra camber for better turn in and stability. If I keep it I will install "crash mounts". Rear differential mount is about due.
Stereo is original. Tape deck does not work and radio "crackles" when you change the volume. I don't use it much as the S38 is enough music for me.
Recommendations that Bavarian Professionals made were that the pedal box is cracked. It feels fine to me and shifts great.

And that the radiator leaks when cold. PO states he never added coolant between services and neither have I. Don't see any seepage either. I am thinking they pressure tested the car when it was cold maybe.
Also says that there is a little play in the water pump bearing. It is very little play but I bought a new water pump any way. It comes with the car.

Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo burns all the midnight oil
Wed, 11 Sep 2013We've got good news and bad news for you, boys and girls, from the floor of the Frankfurt Motor Show. The good news is that the BMW M3 has come early, with a diesel, in wagon form - albeit with a different name. The bad news is that it will in all likelihood never make it to America. Which is a shame, because it's awesome.
What we're talking about, of course, is the new Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo. BMW's wickedly talented but lesser know stepchild has created a 3 Series with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo diesel six packing 345 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. You - and by "you," we mean overseas buyers - can choose between sedan or wagon, as well as rear- or all-wheel drive. But the bottom line is a 4.6-second 0-62 time and a 173-mph top speed... from a diesel.
We scoped out the rear-drive wagon Alpina brought to the show, decked out in its signature blue. And you can, too, in the gallery of live shots above, along with the freshly assembled stock photos of both sedan and wagon versions in the gallery below.
2015 BMW X6 stays the course with more power, RWD model
Thu, 05 Jun 2014What would this world be without the BMW X6? Oh, sure, the whole coupe-crossover design trend surely would have started somewhere, but BMW was the first, launching its odd duck back in 2008. Much as we like to harp on the X6 (for being less functional and more expensive than the X5 on which it's based), people around the world sure do seem to like the thing, BMW having sold some 250,000 examples since the CUV's birth. And as you first saw thanks to leaked images this morning, the second-generation X6 has just arrived.
The shape is familiar, as are specific styling elements like the larger headlamps (now available with a full-LED treatment) and taillamps, mimicking those found on the X5. Two trims are available - xLine and M Sport - the former taking a more subdued approach, while the latter uses the traditionally bulgy and aggressive M-badged kit, with larger air intakes and matte aluminum grille bars. All X6s come standard with 19-inch wheels, and 20s are optional.
Regardless of trim, BMW will now offer the X6 in three guises here in the United States: sDrive35i, xDrive35i and xDrive50i. Dissecting the nomenclature, that means the first two models will be powered by BMW's 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, good for 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. The sDrive X6 uses rear-wheel drive, while the xDrive, of course, uses all-wheel drive. Moving up, the xDrive50i uses the same twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 as its predecessor, though power has been increased to 450 hp and 480 lb-ft. All X6 models are fitted with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that the new powertrains are more efficient than before, though official fuel economy numbers have not yet been released.
BMW ready to bring more i3, i8 plug-ins to US
Thu, Oct 9 2014BMW has found a receptive audience for its first batches of plug-in vehicles in the good 'ole USA. The German automaker, which started selling its first mass-produced i plug-ins in Europe late last year, will send a higher percentage of those vehicles to the US because of strong demand here, according to Automotive News, which talked with BMW executive Ian Robertson. And the Americans might cause Bimmer to speed up production, to boot. BMW makes the i3 electric vehicle and i8 plug-in hybrid in Germany, and has sold about 10,000 units of the former and 280 of the latter worldwide. Since August, BMW has been selling about 1,000 i3s a month in the US (it sold just 58 i8s in September). The bigger story, though, may be that Bimmer has sold out of its US allocation of i8s through the end of next year. Pretty heady stuff for a car that starts at around $137,000. Currently, BMW builds around 100 i-series vehicles a day in Germany, and may speed up production of the i8 for the aforementioned reason. As for the i3, which comes with an option of a gas-powered range extender, we'd reported earlier this year that the waitlist for that model had grown to about six months. Our i3 First Drive report is here if you'd like to know what all the fuss is about.
