1991 Bmw M5 E34 on 2040-cars
Morriston, Florida, United States
Looking for an inexpensive way to get into an E34 M5? Here's your chance. It's not show-perfect, but it presents well overall. It's a blast to drive, and you could go for years without seeing another on the road. I've owned 2 of these, and those are the only 2 I have ever seen in person.
I've only owned this car for a few months - and planned to keep it for a long time, as evidenced by the amount of preventative maintenance detailed below. However, I am trying to purchase a business and need to free up some cash fairly quickly. This car was to be a long-term project for me, so I still haven't gotten around to some of the less-important items. I focused on mechanical reliability / durability items first, and so the ancillary systems and cosmetics were lower on the priority list. So, the details: S38 inline-6 cylinder engine in excellent running condition. Does not burn or leak any significant amount of oil (this means, there's no drips or visible leaking on the driveway, undercarriage is dry). As with any 20+ year old engine, I can't guarantee there's not some tiny area of seepage, but I've not seen anything of significance. I've noticed up to a 1/2 quart added between oil changes on average. Gearbox is tight and smooth - no grinding, no pop-outs, synchros work perfectly. IN the last 3 months, the following has been done: Valve adjustment Refinished camshaft cover and plenum with black wrinkle-finish, and new M-emblem. New seals, o-rings, and gaskets for entire induction system Vacuum system gone through, all vacuum lines/hoses replaced, new vacuum caps at each throttle body. Throttle bodies disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and synchronized. New throttle cable and cruise control cable. New accelerator pedal bushings and spring. Updated camshaft chain tensioner (S50B32 version) Fresh lube in gearbox (ATF) and differential (castrol syntrax). New Bosch (OE BMW) plugs, cap, rotor (wires were less than a year old). Every hose in the cooling system has been replaced (not just the big ones, also the dozen or so related to heater plumbing, overflow, degas, etc. Most are OE BMW). New Behr (OE BMW) fan clutch (viscous fan) New Behr (OE BMW) thermostat and o-rings New Saleri water pump New Bosch (OE BMW) fuel pump New Bosch (OE BMW) ignition coil New Hella (OE BMW) auxiliary water pump New Bosch (OE BMW) heater valves Rebuilt Alternator UUC Evo3 short shifter and DSSR New leather knob with backlit ///M stripe pattern refinished leather seats with SEM Classic Coat (front seats have cracking but this refinishing made them presentable again). Will eventually need new leather. refinished door panels, used 3M Di-Noc ebony woodgrain vinyl over original wood grain (could be removed easily if desired). New thrust arms (Meyle HD) New Sigla (OEM) windshield and trims Window tint with lifetime warranty - Formula one tint, 30%. Fresh brake fluid / system bled Brake caliper slides cleaned Wiper arms refinished Wiper cowl cover refinished Inner door skins and drains cleaned and treated with rust-preventing grease. New hood lift struts New Bosch O2 sensor New air filter New interior cabin air filter New HIR headlamp bulbs Recently replaced guibo and fuel injectors, MAF sensor rebuilt. Door panels replaced with improved 1995 style, with gathered-leather inserts, and full leather wrapped/stitched door handles. Car has Racing Dynamics sway bars, SLS delete (Dinan stage 1 kit, I think). Dinan chip Throwing star wheels with good tires all around. Wheels have some scuffs/rash but are straight. Tires have at least 50% tread remaining. Brake pads have at least 60% remaining. Sunroof and all windows/locks work properly. Power seats, including heating, work properly. Problem areas: Headliner is worn, it's not sagging but eventually needs to be re-done Seat condition described above - cracks in leather, general wear all around. Rear parcel shelf needs re-covering. It's covered in black cloth instead of the original gray. A/C was working up until about a week ago. I believe there's a leak in the evaporator core, or the expansion valve, or an o-ring between them. The compressor was working great when the refrigerant leaked out via the evaporator housing. Paint is overall very presentable, but I think it was a medium-quality job, not show quality by any means. A few chips and things here and there but still shines well. NO RUST. Undercarriage is clean. Car has been in the Southeast US its entire life. Pioneer head unit with USB and ipod connection, illumination to match the BMW orange. JBL front component speakers. On Aug-20-14 at 08:10:44 PDT, seller added the following information: Update: I took a look at the Air Conditioning system today. There IS still refrigerant (R134) in there, My gauges read about 90psi, so perhaps my suspicion about the leak is wrong. I think the system will still need inspection, but at least at this point it's not a catastrophic failure from what I can tell. |

FCA joins BMW, Intel and Mobileye on autonomous car project
Wed, Aug 16 2017Today, BMW, Intel and Mobileye announced that FCA would be joining their effort to build a sharable and scalable platform for autonomous cars. This project has been moving ahead full steam, with Intel purchasing Mobileye earlier this year, not long after Tesla and Mobileye parted ways. Not long after that, parts supplier Delphi joined the autonomous effort. The group's current goal is to have 40 autonomous test vehicles on the road by the end of 2017. The eventual end game is to create a new architecture that each partner can use and adapt to its needs. The platform will support level 3 to level 4/5 automated driving, and can be adapted to suit brand identity. The main headquarters for the effort will be in Germany. FCA staff will join the already established group of engineers from BMW, Intel and Mobileye. The group expects this new platform to hit the streets by 2021. It's unclear how this will affect FCA's relationship with Waymo, Alphabet's autonomous vehicle project. Waymo currently uses modified Chrysler Pacificas for its fleet. In addition to FCA, the trio of BMW, Intel and Mobileye have extended an invitation to any other automakers and suppliers that want to join the project.

2016 BMW M4 GTS: More power, less weight, ready for the track
Wed, Oct 7 2015BMW calls its new M4 GTS the "most agile, radical, and powerful M4 ever." It's got 493 horsepower, a slick new water injection system, a three-way adjustable coilover suspension, and a weight reduction of roughly 200 pounds compared to a stock M4. Only 700 will be built, with 300 allocated for the United States. And did we mention it looks absolutely killer? Let's talk about that water injection system for a moment, because it's the first time this technology is being used on [an intercooled - Ed.] production road car. Basically, water absorbs heat from surrounding air, so a fine mist is sprayed into the intake manifold where it evaporates, lowering the temperature of the intake air. BMW says this reduces final compression temperature, allowing the turbochargers to operate with increased boost pressure and better spark timing. The end result is increased output – 493 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque from the same twin-turbo, 3.0-liter straight-six as the standard M4. That's an increase of 68 hp and 36 lb-ft. But the GTS isn't just about increased power. In fact, the bigger story is its weight reduction. BMW incorporated the use of aluminum and carbon fiber throughout the M4's construction, and DIN curb weight is listed as 3,329 pounds. It's unclear if that's the exact US measurement, and BMW couldn't comment on that as of this writing, but compared to our 3,530-pound stock M4, that represents some 200 fewer pounds of heft. Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is used in the hood, making that part some 25 percent lighter than the stock piece. CFRP is also used for the driveshaft, making it 40-percent lighter than the standard setup. Even inside the car, the new center console is 30-percent lighter than what you'd find in a normal M4. The rear seats are gone, and we're sorry to say that the cool racing buckets pictured here won't be available in the US. Making this thing super capable at the track is a three-way M coilover suspension, combined with upgraded carbon ceramic brakes, set behind staggered wheels and tires. Up front, the GTS rides on 19-inch rollers wrapped in 265/35-series Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and out back, 20-inch wheels are fitted inside 285/30-series rubber. The only transmission available is the seven-speed, M DCT dual-clutch unit, and when all is said in done, BMW says the M4 GTS will run the infamous Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7 minutes and 28 seconds. Another cool feature: organic LED technology.
This is the final BMW M3 Coupe
Fri, 05 Jul 2013Pour some out for the BMW M3 Coupe, folks. Production of the two-door, fixed-roof M3 has officially ended, and the orange car you see here is the very last one.
But we don't just meant the last M3 Coupe of this generation - this is the last M3 Coupe ever, since the next-gen car will launch under the name M4, staying true to BMW's revised nomenclature where coupes and convertibles will use even numbers. (Don't forget, the new 3 Series coupe becomes the 4 Series for the 2014 model year.) There will, of course, be a new M3, but that badge will only be found on the four-door version.
BMW first launched the M3 Coupe in 1986, and since then, more than 40,000 examples have been built. Sedan and convertible versions were added later in the car's life, and BMW says that the current 2013 model year convertible will remain in production until September of this year.
