For sale is (my) ***FEMALE-OWNED AND DRIVEN****1985 BMW 528e, a RARE classic with approximately 225,000 miles on it (mileage is approximate as I don't have the car in front of me--the car has been sitting at the *#*(*!!! shop since April--the odometer does work!), but was told it has a newer engine in it. I purchased this BMW in April 2006 and am the 4th owner. I have put thousands of dollars into this car since owning it to make it a total delight to drive! All the electricals work! Sunroof works, gauges work, seats work, even the headrests work! This car is not currently running--I think it's a fuel pump, but the mechanic seems to think it's an electrical issue. If it isn't a fuel pump, a fuel pump relay, or a speed sensor, I would be VERY surprised. For the right guy, this is most likely a simple fix I figure.
I've had a TON of new parts put on it. This car has a brand new exhaust on it, a new center link, newer full suspension (control arms, tie rod ends, idler arm, etc.), new subframe bushings, new radiator and water pump, and MANY OTHER NEW PARTS THAT I AM NOT THINKING OF AT THE MOMENT.
The idle control valve needs cleaned on it to keep it from revving up and down, but that really isn't a big deal. It does need the fabric over the sunroof (interior) tightened on as it is torn at the front edge from opening and closing the sunroof. Also, the "528E" badge is missing from the trunk but the BMW badges are newer. It has a smidge of rust on the drivers front quarter panel in the usual expected place. Front and rear brakes and rotors are newer. I have dumped many thousands of dollars into this car since I bought it from a guy in Boston who bought it from Taylor "Teak" Ackman of Newport RI. He was an enthusiast who really decked this car out with a Pioneer radio/cd player (with really cool visual display options to match the music!) with 6 disc changer, huge speaker and two amps in the trunk. This car features a wooden Momo steering wheel AND shift knob for a vintage feel!
Black leather seats are in super shape and have been kept covered the whole time I've owned it (to keep them nice)! Black Rhino heavy-duty floor mats purchased from Bav Auto (Bavarian Autosport). It has Bav Auto racing wires, a K & N air filter, newer Bilstein HD shocks and newer Bav Auto red lowering springs. I had so many things done to it after I purchased it to tighten it up! It has 17" slotted rims (some road rash) with good tires. There is NO AC in the car--components were removed by the Teak, the PO and enthusiast from RI. It has a newer battery and brand new alternator too!
I'll add to this description as I think of things to add. I'll try to get more pics but I work so much and commute an hour each way that it will be tough to do this time around.
This is a very unique car and would be a wonderful father/son project or enthusiast project for total restoration to bring it back to its glory! No one in town has one of these, and they're not making any more of them!
Would be willing to consider a good solid work car even or partial trade if it doesn't sell such as a 1991 Mercedes 300se, a 2001 Honda Civic EX or LX, or a Hyundai Sonata. Message me with any questions. As always, please physically look at and inspect the car prior to bidding--this is a 28 year old car, though it is truly one of the greatest ever made! : ) No warranties express or implied--car sold as is, where is. It will need towed in its present condition. All sales are final and deposit is non-refundable.
Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction early, even if there are bids on it.
Thanks!

Are you the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe?
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Thanks to Austrian website Autofilou (via Jalopnik), we now have our first look at what appears to be the upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe - the four-door version of the new 4 Series coupe, which itself is based on the 3 Series sedan. Makes total sense, right?
Nevertheless, in our First Drive of the 4 Series coupe, we found it to be a much more engaging experience than the 3 Series on which its based. And if this new 4GC follows in those footsteps, it could prove to be a better 3 Series sedan than, well, the 3 Series sedan.
Expect the 4 Series Gran Coupe to come in 428i and 435i flavors, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four in the base car and a 3.0-liter turbo-six in the higher-end model. Of course, BMW will likely bring a range-topping M4 Gran Coupe to market not long thereafter.
BMW planning smaller Z2 roadster
Sat, 10 May 2014It's been a few years since we heard about the BMW Z2, a compact, two-seat convertible that would slot in below the aging Z4 (shown above). Now, though, the crew at Car and Driver are back with details on the oft-rumored roadster.
The big shock for enthusiasts on this one is C/D's report that the Z2 will spin its front wheels, rather than its rears. A front-drive roadster is strange enough, but a front-drive BMW roadster? It's apparently true, though, as the new model would share its platform with the front-drive Mini and 2 Series Active Tourer rather than with the racier 228i or M235i coupes.
According to C/D, the rumored Z2 could be powered by a range of three- and four-cylinder, turbocharged engines, although it's more likely to be a four-only affair. Power should range from 160 to 230 ponies, while an M variant could arrive with 300 horsepower (that's a whole lot of power for front-wheel drive...).
Behind the Scenes of BMW's 'Drift Mob,' Part 2 [w/video]
Tue, 01 Jul 2014After spending four days practicing about a dozen drift stunt moves in a parking lot for an upcoming BMW "Drift Mob" internet mini-film, Rhys Millen, Sam Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford, and Conrad Grunewald are finally ready for show time. We are brought to the huge urban traffic circle to see the stunts performed midway through the day to observe for a couple of hours.
The undertaking is massive, with multiple cameras set up, scores of crew members, a helicopter filming from above, a rigged pickup for car-to-car shots, sidewalks lined with security and plenty of curious onlookers, and oh, yeah, a major intersection of a top world city shut down for an entire weekend.
The five drifting legends are nestled in their identical red BMW M235i coupes, which have been modified with special handbrakes but essentially nothing else you can't get on a stock version, and are listening to direction from director Mic Rodgers and stunt coordinator Riley Harper. We're basically given free rein of the set, to shoot the cars, the drivers, and at one point, even hopping in with Yoshihara for one of the admittedly more tame stunts. Even then, the g-forces are so severe that they flip our cameraphone's video recording from landscape mode to portrait. Yes, this is a pretty cool day to be reporting on cars, and as we said during our first installment of our behind the scenes coverage of Drift Mob, we're honored to be the only US media outlet here to tell the tale.
