This is a magnificent 1997 BMW 528i with manual transmission. This car has all the options available, along with 15" lightweight BBS polished wheels, painted body mouldings, and a rear trunk spoiler. Has upgraded new headlights (old ones got dull, they come with the car as well), upgraded "angel eye" in the headlights along with HID's. The vehicle has all the maintenance upto date, including a recently replaced steering rack, fuel pump, water pump, and a complete flush and overhauld of the cooling system. New ignition coils, new spark plugs, new fuel filter, K&N air filter, oil changed every 3000 miles. The vehicle has approximately 185,000 miles on it. Paint still shines like new!! Everything works!

WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!

The car was parked outside my garage (kids were playing table tennis), when the garbage truck rolled around to collect the weekly garbage, and decided to leave a little gift on the side. We weren't even aware until the driver knocked on our door to inform us. The damage seems only cosmetic, but I am not a body shop, so I dont konw. What I do know is that the front headlight is scratched, the right front fender is completely gone, the front & rear bumper is broken, the right front & rear passenger doors dont open, and the windows dont roll down (they seem to slightly roll down, but stop when the regulator hits the dented shell).

WHY SELL IT??

I was quoted $700 by the body shop to replace & paint the door shells, front & rear bumpers, the front fender, and buff out the scratches on the rear fender. I am selling because I dont have time or patience to get all this done, even though this is my daily driver, and runs & drives in it's current condition, instead, I will opt for something with a V-8. This would be an excellent car for someone to put a little TLC into. Please remember that this car is sold as used, so do not expect a perfect car.

Please note, the first few pictures show the vehicle before the wreck, with the M5 wheels and the newer tail lights which are NOT included with this car, I am selling those separately if interested. The vehicle will come with the BBS wheels shown in the later pictures, and the original tail lights from 1997. THE LAST 6 PICTURES SHOW THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE.

Feel free to ask any questions, good luck & happy bidding!

BMW sold 2.49 million BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce vehicles in 2018

Tue, Jan 8 2019

FRANKFURT — German carmaker BMW on Tuesday said it achieved record sales of 2.49 million BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce vehicles last year. "BMW Group achieved record sales in 2018. 2.49 million vehicles mean the BMW Group is the world's leading premium automotive company for the 15th year running," Chief Executive Harald Krueger said. In 2017, BMW Group sold 2.46 million vehicles. Daimler has not yet released annual sales figures for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, so it remains unclear whether BMW brand overtook Mercedes-Benz in terms of sales in 2018. Sales of BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce cars were higher than Mercedes-Benz in 2017.

Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo offers Europeans a pre-M3 performance 3er

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

Anyone that's spent some time behind the wheel of the Alpina B7 probably knows enough to understand what Americans are missing with this, newly launched Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo. We've got no lack of M models to choose from, it's true, but the Alpina touch offers a completely different driving character, with almost as much performance. A pity then that Alpina has no plans that we've heard of to bring this one across the pond.
Filling the gap between the current 3 Series offerings and the outgoing M3 (we're not likely to even see the new M3 and M4 until September's Frankfurt show, nor be able to buy one until after that), the B3 Bi-Turbo brings serious performance to the F30 3er. As the name indicates, two turbochargers are used to force-feed BMW's 3.0-liter inline-six engine, for a total output of 410 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. That power offers a big jump from even the BMW 335i sedan, and will push the B3 to 62 miles per hour in just 4.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 190 miles per hour. Alpina's own sport suspension underpins the thing, while the power is modulated by way of a eight-speed automatic transmission.
The new B3 will be easily recognizable thanks to its "Classic" 20-inch, 20-spoke Alpina wheels, and a rather subtle, aero-enhancing body kit. No pricing has yet been announced, but you will find a host of additional information in the attached Alpina press release below.

BMW hires Ferrari chief engineer Fedeli

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

There's going to be a little bit more Prancing Horse in some future BMWs because the Bavarian brand is hiring Ferrari chief engineer Roberto Fedeli to join the company in November. Fedeli's new position is still somewhat of a mystery though, and he reportedly might be lending his talents to the high performance M division or possibly even Rolls-Royce. When asked by Automotive News Europe, BMW said that it "currently can't say what his role will be."
Regardless of his new job, Fedeli was a big get for BMW because of his strong résumé. He has been with Ferrari since 1988 and led the engineering for the famous Italian automaker's vehicles since 2007. Fedeli tendered his resignation in September at around the same time that chairman Luca di Montezemolo announced his decision to leave the company. However, Ferrari told ANE that there was no connection between the two events.
