This is a 1991 BMW E34 M5 that needs some work but does run and drive. What's most important is that the motor is in great shape and had a top end only a year and half ago. I have pictures of the internals.
154k miles, odometer just stopped working. These are low miles. I have owned the car for the last three years and absolutely love it. I have spent lots of money maintaining it but it just needs more attention than I can give it right now. The interior is in decent shape besides the fact that the headliner is not in, and needs to be re-fabriced. The seats are in good shape, no tears. The dash is in good shape. The carpets are in good shape, but one of the rear door leather panels had swelled and popped off. The two front doors need doors jams replaced, because of this the driver's window will not go down. the two back door jams are fine, and all of the other windows work fine. The sunroof works great. The heat works very well. The AC works but the serpentine belt or pulley is seizing up which causes the power steering to go in an out if vehicle is parked and trying to turn. when moving the steering works fine. For this reason, I do not use the AC. The radio, onboard computer, and all other electrical components work well except for the speedometer (needs sensor). Needs an LKM (Light control module) this is a common thing to wear out on E34's its simply a board that plugs into relay box or you can re-solder the contacts. This causes low beams to shut off sometimes but high beam always works. Suspension: needs front end work/steering work. Just recently developed a steering wobble that is set off by bump. Has some steering play. Needs lower control arms, all 4 struts and springs (makes loud bang when hitting bumps). It will drive around town fine but really should not be taken on the highway. Body: NO major dents. I have replacement hood for one dent in hood. Normal rock chips on front. The clear coat is pealing in one part of the car with pictures below. With a nice buff and wax the original paint shines well for how old it is. only rust is some surface rust on passenger front door that can be sanded- pictures below. Clean title. Transmission: has a third gear grind, needs a new synchro. It will shift into 3rd fine if the rpm's are not super high and if not slammed into gear. It changes other gears fine. regulary changed the fluid- currently has Dex III ATF per BMW specs. Reverse will ever so often pop out if engaging cold but never pop out while moving. It will go in just fine if you try again...not a big deal Motor: mint condition, regularly serviced - oil changes with mobil 1 synthetic 15:50. No oil leaks on this at all, or any fluid for that matter. Valve clearances done. Gaskets replaced. spark plugs regularly. This is the most important aspect of these cars; this is what gives these cars great collector and monetary value and this one is good to go. I had the headgasket done last fall. I have pictures of the internal parts of the motor when this procedure was done! Including valves ground and tested. It has lots of pull and power and life left. Does not leak or burn oil. Modifications: Billy boat tri-flow exhaust, Turner Motorsports Chip, bilstein struts, eibach springs (no more self-leveling), gripforce F1 clutch (only 10k miles on), tinted windows, Weighted M- shifter knob short shift kit, head light out for air intake, euro-plate, headlight skins. Other: Needs new speedometer sensor...this is probably why odometer stopped working. Needs all 4 brake pads and rotors. Needs 1 gas tank strap, it is rigged fine for the last few years. rubber intake boot is taped because has a few cracks in it. Serpentine belt should be replaced. New Parts include Transmission Mounts Flex Disc Front/Rear Sway Bar Bushings the clutch: installed two summers ago upper control arms: 2 years ago headgasket was done last fall, the head was machined, and the valves were all ground, lapped, and water tested. oil filter housing gaskets rear main seal swear bar bushings tires: two summers ago (Michelin MXX4 pilots) 80% remaining Water pump: last fall Radiator: done by previous owner alternator: last fall high quality battery: 3 weeks ago (179.00) I have listed everything wrong with the car very thoroughly. This car has always been serviced by a reputable german mechanic of which i have most receipts for. It has been driven daily, not sat for long periods, and never abused. The longest it has sat was for the last few months and it was started and driven periodically. It does start, run, and drive as it is but should have certain things done (mainly the brakes and front end) before being used as a daily driver again. You are welcome to come test drive it. I have regularly driven it from here to VT and MA and it is fantastic on the highway, and will be once the suspension is refreshed. It has been reliable - never left me stranded. In parts alone its worth a great deal to enthusiasts. My car was also featured on germanautonews.com (i will find the link for the article) Email for more pictures as well. If you are mechanically inlined you can drive and restore this at the same time. Low Reserve. |

Recharge Wrap-up: EVSR returns to Mt. Washington, China Mulls $16 Billion For EV Charging
Thu, Aug 28 2014Foxconn and electric carmaker BAIC are partnering to provide an electric car rental service in China. Slated to kick off next month in Beijing, Hangzhou and Jiangsu province, the company, called Henyu, will offer the EV rentals by the hour. Henyu hopes to offer 5,000, to 10,000 electric rental cars within a year, and wants to become the largest EV rental group in China. The company will also deploy BAIC's E150EV to ten cities for rental outside of Beijing. Read more at Want China Times. Hoping to convince more people to make the switch to electric cars, China is considering investing $16 billion to install charging facilities. Anonymous sources have said that an announcement about the program will be made soon. China has already announced and implemented various measures, such as incentives and tax breaks, to encourage more people to drive emissions free and improve urban air quality. China aims to have 30 percent of its government vehicle purchases be EVs by 2016, with higher targets after that. There's more from Bloomberg. BMW is launching a campaign to highlight technology features from the i8 to be used in other BMW vehicles. Called BMW Innovations, the program will include television ads showing how the i8's full-color heads-up display, LED headlight technology and Surround View Camera System are making their way into cars such as the 3 Series, 5 Series and X3, respectively. BMW Innovations also includes digital and social media campaigns, as well as hands-on technology presentations at dealerships. See the new ads below, and learn more in the press release. EVSR is set to return to Mt. Washington for the Alternate Energy Summit. It is the team's first time back since EVSR set the electric vehicle record at the Climb to the Clouds hill climb earlier this year. EVSR will run the cars up the hill again, and it will hold a workshop about electric racing, called "Redefining Motorsports - A How-To Guide for Creating a Revolution in Speed." The Alternative Energy Summit takes place on September 13 and 14 as part of National Drive Electric Week, and is free to the public. Read more in the press release, below.

2015 BMW M3 Sedan, M4 Coupe are officially revealed [w/video]
Wed, 11 Dec 2013
The new 3.0-liter inline-six makes 425 turbocharged horsepower from 5500 rpm all the way up to 7300 rpm.
BMW has announced the 2015 M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe, high-performance versions of the new 3 Series and 4 Series that launched this year. The new Ms have stirred controversy in a variety of ways, but one must remember that the M cars traditionally don't follow a specific mold.
BMW M4 Concept beckons the new golden child of M cars
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Ushering in the next-generation of two-door M performance cars for BMW, the new M4 Concept was officially unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance last night after an unceremonious embargo leak yesterday afternoon. The reality of the fact that we will never again have a new M3 Coupe is a little easier to deal with after browsing the M4 Concept's sleek and sporty lines.
As was the case with the Concept 4 Series Coupe, we expect the this M4 to transition from concept car to production coupe with very few changes. Among the features we's bet against making it into production include the front splitter and the exhaust tips - both made from carbon fiber. Other notable details are the aero-shaped mirrors, the subtle M stripes on the carbon fiber roof and the 20-inch wheels exposing big six-piston from brakes. If it were up to us, we'd say bring this car to production as is - except for the paint color.
There is still no word on the M4's powertrain or if it will even offer a manual geabox, but we would imagine that we'll be seeing this car in production form, complete with all of those details at the LA Auto Show.
