Up for sale is my 1988 BMW M5. I bought the car late 2011 from it's original owner in Alameda, California and had it shipped to Baltimore. The car is all original with the exception of the suspension which has been replaced with a Dinan Stage 1 kit and the wheels which are E34 M5 without the covers.
Timing chain parts are still orginal but I replaced all front end components with Lemforder parts last year.
Car burns absolutely no oil but does leak a bit. An overview of other maintenance is below. I have a crack free dash that goes with the car as well.
Compression numbers are as follows:
1)220# 2)220# 3)220# 4)230# 5)225# 6)230#
Chain and guides are original. Absolutely no slap or rattle at start up. If the next owner has money to burn, go ahead.
Personally, I would wait until the vehicle showed symptoms before i would replace them.
SLS as well as front springs and shocks replaced 3/18/03 with Dinan Stage 1 at a cost of $1,938. Mileage was 102,786.
Driver's seat hip bolster is bent towards the driver's door. Most are. Shoulder bolster shows average wear. Carpet is as perfect as 23 year old carpet can be. No stains, tears, or wear spots. This summer I removed the seats and used a hot water extractor to clean the carpets. Back seat looks like it was never used. Passenger front has no significant wear.
Original wheels and spare. Wheels have been professionally refinished by Wheels America on 11/5/02 at a cost of $444.92
Dash has several cracks all centered around the top air vent. Again, what E28 doesn't.
The amazing documentation includes EVERY SINGLE REPAIR RECORD.
In addition to window sticker, delivery checklist, original invoice, all keys, anti theft radio card, "The Ultimate Driving Machine" front plastic tag, etc. Original sales brochure for the E28 M5 as well the E30 M3. I guess the PO considered both.
As far as front end parts. Upper and lower control arms, inner and outer tie rods, center link, idler arm. Upper control arms were torqued on the alignment rack when the vehicle had weight on them. They have the 750 bushings. Lower control arms are aluminum. I also replaced rear dogbones but not rear subframe bushings. Those bushings come with the car. I didn't replace them as I couldn't justify the expense.
Tool kit is complete down to the unused blue rag.
Paint is getting thin as there are spots were the M strips have been rubbed through.
Valve cover "seeps". Top of the engine IS NOT wet. Oil pan is wet and it's gasket could stand to be replaced. Car DOES NOT mark it's territory.
Radiator is original to the car. Water pump was replaced at 66,676 on 06/04/97 at a cost of $479.07
Fuel lines are original.
Car last passed smog on 1/20/11 @ 114,014 at a cost of $110.75. Work was done by Speedy Smog in Alameda, CA.
Cats are original.
A/C is still R12 and works great.
Clutch was replaced on 11/22/02 @ 100,708 at a cost of $1,585.18. Transmission fluid was replaced and shifter was rebuilt at this time.
Front rotors done 5/25/04 @ 104,619 at a cost of $387.39
Suspension is tight but I think the car could use some extra camber for better turn in and stability. If I keep it I will install "crash mounts". Rear differential mount is about due.
Stereo is original. Tape deck does not work and radio "crackles" when you change the volume. I don't use it much as the S38 is enough music for me.
Recommendations that Bavarian Professionals made were that the pedal box is cracked. It feels fine to me and shifts great.

And that the radiator leaks when cold. PO states he never added coolant between services and neither have I. Don't see any seepage either. I am thinking they pressure tested the car when it was cold maybe.
Also says that there is a little play in the water pump bearing. It is very little play but I bought a new water pump any way. It comes with the car.

BMW i3 Shadow Sport limited edition opens a moon roof on US
Fri, Nov 20 2015Here's a bit of news for a quarter-million dollars. BMW is bringing a special edition i3 called Shadow Sport to the US for the 2016 model year. That tag refers to the special-edition Bimmers that come equipped with a moon roof, which before this was unavailable in the US. But only 50 lucky folks will get them. The Shadow Sport edition comes with a few other goodies, too, including "fluid" black paint, 19-inch alloy wheels, custom-trim interior and sport-tuned suspension, though there are no changes in the electric motor or performance. That means the same single-charge range of 81 miles, the same 0-60 miles per hour acceleration time of seven seconds flat and the same top speed of 93 miles per hour. If you experience a little slower speed and a little shorter single-charge range because you're spending too much time looking out of the moon roof, that's on you. The catch is that the model won't be available for the i3 vehicles with the gas-powered range extender, i.e. the i3 REx. The Shadow Sport will also have a price of $47,400, or $5,000 more than the base model i3. BMW's Dave Buchko told AutoblogGreen that all 50 Shadow Sports have been sold, with the first 40 selling out in the first hour or so of availability. The Shadow Sport is on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. Through the first 10 months of the year, BMW sold 8,879 i3 vehicles, which was double year-earlier figures. Last month alone, though, things weren't as rosy, as October i3 sales declined 15 percent from a year earlier to 986 units. There's more information at the bottom of BMW's LA Show press release, below. BMW at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show: Making its North American Premier, BMW will showcase the all-new BMW 7 Series, all-new BMW 3 Series eDrive, all-new BMW X1 and the exclusive motorsport inspired BMW M4 GTS. BMW i will premiere BMW Laser Light, available for the first time in the US, as well as the limited edition BMW i3 Shadow Sport, featuring exclusive exterior paint color and interior design, moonroof and sport tuned suspension. Woodcliff Lake, N.J.: November 17, 2015 12:00 pm EDT /9:00 am PDT... The all-new BMW 3 Series eDrive, BMW M4 GTS, BMW X1 and the BMW 7 Series will make their North American debuts at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. In addition, BMW will feature the eDrive BMW X5 xDrive40e as well as the high-performance BMW i8, the all-electric BMW i3 and other BMW models at the BMW display.
BMW dishes on 'lightweight' 2014 M4
Mon, 15 Jul 2013BMW's M cars are not what we'd call featherweights. Sure, the big, bruising twin-turbocharged V8s deliver a lot of power, but the fact of the matter is that more weight often equates to less fun.
Which is why we're so excited over a recent sit-down the blokes at Top Gear had with BMW's product manager for small and medium cars, Matt Collins. The chat led to talk of the M3 Coupe replacing M4. Collins confirmed that, yes, the new M4 would be turbocharged. The new engine will also be a six-cylinder, which should make purists happy.
"What we'd like is more focus on lightweight engineering." -Matt Collins
