1988 BMW M5 Mileage: 160K VIN #: WBSDC930XJ2791256 History: AutoCheck Vehicle History Report available upon request Seller Comments: This is a very original and complete E28
M5 that has spent the majority of its life in Northern California. It was
resurrected from storage around 2011 and has only limited service records available.
According to record, the M5 was sold new in NY and passed through the Midwest
before finally making it to California in 1997, which may explain why the car
has some rust found at three of the four jacking points and at the rear lower
rear valence. (Pictures available upon request)
In my opinion, the rust isn’t extensive and a competent and experienced
auto body technician should find the repair not extraordinary. That being
said, most of the paint is factory original and all VIN tags are present on all
panels with the exception of the hood and driver’s front fender, where the hood
has original VIN tag, but has been refinished and the fender appears to have
been refinished and replaced. Overall, I would consider this a solid M5 that is
a good candidate for restoration for those in the know. Vehicle Condition Drivetrain: Motor is stock with no modifications, starts
reliably with smooth idle, runs strong and does not burn or leak oil.
Transmission shifts well in all gears, hot or cold but has typical leak at gear
selector shaft seal or at rear output seal (exact location TBD) and has minor
vibration during idle at/near rear transmission mount. New O2 sensor installed
and M5 recently passed CA smog. Recent engine oil and transmission oil change
with Mobile 1 15w-50 and Redline MTL respectively. New motor mounts. (by
previous owner 04/13) Suspension: (by previous owner 04/13) New upper and lower control arms, tie
rods and sway bar links. New rear subframe mounts and rear pitman
links. Recent front Bilstein Sport struts
(front) and rear suspension SLS delete. (prior to previous owner) Brakes: (by previous owner 04/13) Front and rear calipers rebuilt New front and rear rotors New brake pads and wear sensors New SS brake lines Exterior: (by previous owner 04/13) Windshield and lock strip New trunk and taillight gaskets and
sunroof gaskets New antenna mast Wheels powder coated with new Kuhmo
Ecsta 225/50ZR15 tires Interior: (by previous owner 04/13) New/used dashboard New shift knob and shifter boot New/used factory OEM radio (code needed) New seatbelt latches New AC compressor and receiver/drier (however,
AC does not blow cold) The Seller has made every effort to describe vehicle accurately to the best of his knowledge.

2018 BMW 3 Series spied looking cold as ice
Tue, Jan 19 2016The 3 Series is without question the single most important model line for BMW. So, despite the fact that it was just refreshed for 2016 with updates that sharpened its steering and suspension, you can bet that work is well underway on the next edition. These fresh spy shots show just how far into the development process BMW has gotten as engineers test the model in the harsh conditions of the arctic. Camouflage hides on lot on this 3 Series, but we can still see that the nose appears to take cues from the latest 7 Series. Even through the swirling wrap, you can spot shapely headlights that flow into the long, narrow kidney grille. In profile, the sedan retains the proportions of the current model, with a longish hood and short rear deck. Around back, big, round taillights protrude outward, but these somewhat garish pieces might be development parts that don't reflect the final design. BMW reportedly uses the codename G20 for the next-gen 3 Series and plans to make the new model wider and with a longer wheelbase to create a larger passenger compartment. Even with the dimension stretch, weight could drop thanks to lighter materials. We expect that BMW will continue to offer a vast range of powertrains, and rumors hint the future M3 might use a plug-in hybrid system to boost power and lower emissions. Expect to see the updated 3 Series debut around 2018, according to our spies. Related Video:
2014 BMW 328d rated at 32/45 mpg
Wed, 31 Jul 2013BMW still hasn't released official fuel economy numbers for its diesel-powered 2014 328d, but now, those mileage ratings have been posted on the EPA's FuelEconomy.gov website. As expected, the 328d is quite an efficient little machine, with the rear-wheel-drive sedan good for 32 miles per gallon in the city and 45 mpg highway. That even bests the 30/42 mpg of the smaller Volkswagen Jetta TDI.
The last time BMW offered a diesel 3 Series in our market, it was the six-cylinder 335d, which - while mighty quick and excellent to drive - was only offered as a rear-wheel-drive sedan and was rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. For 2014, BMW will offer the 328d with optional xDrive all-wheel drive, though that reduces the fuel economy numbers to 31/43 mpg. Beyond that, the BMW will even sell you a 328d xDrive wagon, which nets the same 31/43 mpg rating, according to FuelEconomy.gov.
Look for the 2014 BMW 328d to hit dealerships this fall, and when it launches, it will be the only diesel offering in its class (until the next Mercedes-Benz C-Class arrives, anyway). Lexus and Infiniti will offer hybrid versions of the IS and Q50, respectively, but we've always had a taste for torque, and the 328d's 2.0-liter engine with 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of twist shouldn't disappoint.
BMW's new strategy: Electric everything
Mon, Sep 12 2016Mercedes isn't the only car maker determined to beat Tesla before it gets huge. Sources speaking to German business daily Handelsblatt claim that BMW is in the midst of planning an executive shuffle that will also include a big shift in its electric vehicle strategy. While the company would still offer ground-up EV designs like the i3, the new strategy would greenlight electric versions of some of BMW's most important vehicles, including the 3-series sedan, X4 crossover, and iconic Mini. If the leak is accurate, management is likely to approve the change at the end of September. We've asked BMW for its take on the report, although it declined to comment to Handelsblatt. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Munich crew change tack, though. While Tesla has received hundreds of thousands of Model 3 pre-orders, i3 sales dropped in 2016 – the upscale (if oddly-shaped) EV just isn't as hot as it once was. If BMW electrifies some of its most popular cars, you wouldn't have to choose between a super-efficient, eco-friendly EV and the familiar designs of the brand's mainstream driving machines.The story originally appeared on Engadget, your guide to this connected life.Related Video: Featured Gallery Mini Vision Next 100 Concept View 38 Photos Green BMW MINI Electric Hybrid engadget
