Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Excellent Condition."

Very fine, well cared for example. This model was only made in '87 and '88. I have owned several and am selling because I bought another one. Purchased 5yrs. and 20K mi. ago in western Colorado from seller who owned it for 10yrs. and 20K mi. Originally sold in Virginia. Three owners. I have original window sticker with purchase price of $39,555 showing optional limited slip differential; I believe this was the only option available. I have original sales brochure. I have all my records but not older ones. Professionally maintained by local BMW expert. Car is dry and rust free except for very minor trace surface rust appearing at joint areas of rear driver's side quarter panel which was replaced sometime prior to my ownership; the material used to seal the panel has developed very slight cracking and some hairline rust tracing. Also, same thing near roof line on left side due to roof rack mount; it seems newer paint is thinner and shows these slight rust streaks. See photos. Older paint does not do this. Panel below rear bumper has more than other areas but still small. Entirely surface. Panel and rear door were repainted and have faded less than original paint resulting in some color contrast; new paint is brighter than original paint. This contrast appears more pronounced in bright light photos than I think it does in person; it does not jump out when you see the car but it is noticeable upon closer inspection. The contrast between the trunk and quarter panel is more pronounced that between front and rear doors.

I have repainted front air dam which was damage free, replaced trunk hinges and seal, replaced front side window seals and front/ rear exterior glass trim, replaced fog lamps, repaired driver's seat outside bolster, replaced rear shocks and flex disk, catalytic converter, starter as well as minor hoses. I have maintained car to last many years. All Redline fluids. K&N air filter and Bavarian Auto chip. Original air box/ filter included. 28% side window tint. Cocoa mats. Preparing for sale I installed my winter tires. Tires are OK but won't fully balance out at 1/2 or less tread; the soft winter compound always does this. Wheels are straight with very minor marking. Summer tires were done. I also removed a performance muffler and installed an original BMW muffler I had and this did not go well; the BMW muffler broke and will need to be replaced soon; it's not too loud but will not last and the chrome tips are not well attached. Interior is very good; leather is somewhat dried with some creasing but not cracking through. Dash has some cracks. Everything on the cars works. My shop always let's me know what's ahead and is advising to watch rear brakes and tie rod/center link in approx. 5K miles; these may go longer. Next valve adjustment is at 120K and new gasket will be needed as will brake pressure switch.

I drive this car daily. Mileage at 114,000 is approx. what you will get give or take 100 or so miles. This car is super clean; no door dings and only a couple minor paint blemishes-I'm the guy who parks at the far end of the lot. New tires and your choice of exhaust and you are set for awhile; last oil service was at 11621. In 5-10K more miles you will need rear brakes valve adjustment and maybe tie rod/center link. There are not many of these left in this condition and prices seem to be going up; I paid more than twice what I'm starting with for my new car with half the mileage. I love to own and drive these cars. This is a great daily driver that gets many comments and really stands out from the new cars. Please call me @ 303-641-4457 if you have any questions. Mike.

Final revision. This is my first listing as a seller. I have included every detail about this car and have concluded that the car is better than it looks in this listing. My old iphone pictures are not sharp enough IMO to convey the overall condition of this car. The paint contrast is there and the repair items are too but neither really effects the actual impression that this is a really nice car when you see it. I am also a big E28 fan and know that this is a solid car that will perform as represented-no DIY stories about the mechanical shape of the car; the owner of my shop will take your call to tell you about his 20+ years of maintaining my old BMWs (as a 1988 this is the newest car I have ever owned) and about this car. Mike

HyFive hydrogen infrastructure gets $51M boost across Europe

Fri, Apr 4 2014

"High five!" was one of the catch-phrases of Sacha Baron Cohen's Kazakh comedic alter ego Borat. A real-world HyFive is being announced by a power broker named Boris. And this is serious business. London Mayor Boris Johnson has announced a program called HyFive, which will see automakers and other entities invest 31 million British pounds ($51 million US) in a demonstration project for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. By next year, London will have three hydrogen refueling stations, while there will be one each in the Danish cities of Aarhus and Odense and one in Innsbruck, Austria. Leaders of the program are planning for other stations in Sweden, Germany and Italy. The five participating automakers are BMW, Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler, Honda, Hyundai and Toyota, while other companies involved include Copenhagen Hydrogen Network, ITM Power and Linde. Those OEMs will make 110 fuel-cell vehicles available for deployment in Bolzano, Copenhagen, Innsbruck, London, Munich and Stuttgart. The program represents an effort to address the "chicken or egg?" challenge inherent to establishing a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market. While the powertrain technology provides benefits by combining fossil-fuel-like refueling times with long driving ranges and zero emissions, establishing a refueling network and building fuel-cell vehicles is prohibitively expensive, especially in low volumes. The London mayor is no stranger to green transportation technology. Late last year, Johnson made himself available for a photo opportunity with Ecotive and Frazer-Nash, which had developed a six-passenger extended-range plug-in taxicab. The mayor got a test drive in the cabs this week. You can check out the HyFive press release below. Global leaders sign up to GBP31m plan to demonstrate viability of hydrogen vehicles International project HyFive pioneers hydrogen fuel cell technology A pioneering GBP31 million deal will be struck today (3 April) to make hydrogen vehicles a viable and environmentally friendly choice for motorists across Europe. Leading motor manufacturers, hydrogen fuel suppliers, the Mayor of London's Office and energy consultancies from around the globe are signing up to the HyFive project, the largest of its kind in Europe, at City Hall in London today.
