FOR SALE 1986 BMW 535i E28 5speed FULL SUSPENSION REFRESH, NEW COILOVERS, RARE EURO PARTS, MINT M5 INTERIOR & MORE! 1986 BMW 535i E28 Euro I have for sale a beautiful example of a fully euro converted BMW 535i E28. This is the more rare 535i and it is a manual 5 speed. Most E28s were automatic, and more commonly 528e version. The story of this car started as a very clean stock example of a US version 535i with a binder of maintenance records dating back to almost the beginning. All maintenance records have been recorded and will be included in the purchase. The car came as alpine white exterior with cardinal red interior featuring comfort seats and power everything. I am an aircraft mechanic professionally and restore/build older BMWs in my free time. After purchasing the car in St. Louis with 240k miles I drove it all the way down to Savannah Ga without any hiccups. Drove great with tons of power, never overheating, and great on gas mileage. Once I got it back to savannah I began to do a complete inspection and even though this had such a great documented history, with all its bushings and ball joints recently replaced within the last 30k miles. I decided to start with a clean slate. Ordered all new bushings, ball joints, control arms, end links, tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm, subframe connecting arms, and brand new BC weld in coilovers. Everything was replaced brand new and alignment done immediately after. While I was under the car I replaced rear sway bar end links, and fuel filter. Next I was on the hunt for all REAL OEM BMW euro parts. After a long time and 1000s of dollars. I was able to get rid of all the ugly US spec parts, and build a euro converted E28. The list of parts below is what comes on the car. -Chrome Euro bumpers -Euro headlights w/ grills -Euro headlight washers w/ spray nozzle (motors are present but not hooked up) -Complete mint condition Taurusrot M5 interior including manual sport seats (not terrible electric) -Electric seat center console delete -M5 black headliner -Euro M5 side mirrors with driver side blindspot in mirror -Euro OBC computer in german -Euro overhead computer checker in german -Euro heating/air conditioning panel in german and Celsius -Euro fog lamp panel with dedicated front and rear fog light switch and headlight leveling switch (not hooked up) -Rare Euro rear headrests -Euro M5 shadowline tail lights (OEM) -Euro Black trunk liner and toolbox kit with all tools/extra lightbulbs, & microfiber BMW towel. -Mason Engineering Strut Bar Other Goodies: -Full suspension refresh -New BC Coilovers (<200 miles) -Stoptech Stainless Steel Brake Lines -Caliper refresh and painted with high temp silver paint. -Full boston acoustic sound system with dedicated amps for speakers and amp for 10" subwoofer under rear seat. -LIFETIME subscription of XM Sirius radio included. -All Maint records with Car (HUGE BINDER FULL) -5 or 6 extra oil Filters -1 extra can of freon -3 extra engine belts -20mm spacers on front wheels -Chrome E36 DS2 wheels with good tires (wheels have some corrosion) -Original owners manual -Fresh oil change -Fresh Brake fluid flush -Power steering flush and bled. The gauge cluster is in perfect working condition. A lot of times the gears go bad in these. Odometer reads 249k miles. But dont let that scare you with the amount of maint that has gone into it. New gaskets everywhere, mustang 5.0 injectors, rebuilt MAF flapper. I wouldnt be nervous to drive this car anywhere. I drove it from St. Louis, Missouri all the way to savannah. I have taken trips to Jacksonville and back with no problems. This is a great running car, in excellent condition, with an excellent service history, not to mention the amount of rare german parts. I have never received so many compliments on the interior. Good condition E28 535i's in manual are becoming harder and harder to come by. Dont miss out on this great opportunity to own a piece of vintage BMW history, the kind you can still work on... |

BMW looking to fix i3 acceleration problem uncovered by Consumer Reports
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The BMW i3 has been hailed in some quarters as the future of electric mobility, what with its innovative carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic body and commitment to sustainable materials wherever possible. The modernist little hatch is even available with a 650cc two-cylinder gas engine with 34 horsepower to act as a range-extender for those who want it. However, that optional engine might have a drawback - at least for the moment.
Consumer Reports brought the problem to light when one of its drivers was behind the wheel of an i3 using the range-extender. When the driver attempted to pass another vehicle on a rolling, two-lane road, the BMW suddenly had no power to accelerate - a scary situation. CR started examining the car and found something pretty shocking: After driving at a constant speed for a while without any regenerative braking in range-extended mode, acceleration to 60 miles per hour plummeted from about 9 seconds normally to a staggering 27 to 40 seconds in their testing.
A BMW spokesperson told CR that it knows about the problem and has a fix coming next spring that also works on current models. The upgrade includes a state of charge indicator, a warning about loss of power and uses the car's navigation to boost the battery before driving on rolling terrain. It is not clear if the severe power deficiency will also eventually result in a recall.
2013 BMW M3 Coupe Lime Rock Park Edition
Thu, 25 Jul 2013Sic Transit Gloria
I like difficult cars. I like turbo "moments," dramatic weight distribution, low-grip, peaky power delivery, and overly quick steering, along with ultra-short wheelbases and any number of other non-racecar-perfect dynamic foibles. I love the newest generation of BMW cars and engines - all turbo'd up with tons of torque and power everywhere in the rev range, too. But what I think the enthusiast community will miss when this 2013 M3 Coupe becomes the 2014 M4 Coupe - replacing its idiosyncratic, small-displacement, revvy V8 for something like a triple-turbo, directly injected, inline six-cylinder powerhouse in the process - is the work it takes to drive the car fast and perfectly. Sometimes small flaws just make things better; my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun, and all that.
The idea of this E92 M3 going away then, magnified by the loss of the M3 badge for the coupe, is at best bittersweet for me. This generation of M car is already surpassed in terms of raw thrills by the better-than-ever Mercedes-Benz C63, a car that doesn't ask its driver to sacrifice low-end grunt or the very latest in amenities in return for stellar backroad performance. Yet any time I've been lucky enough to lap a track in the M3, it has quickly become clear that the Bimmer is the better on-edge tool. With the freedom to wring the neck of the 4.0-liter V8 and room to exercise the lovely balance of the car, the E92 is hard to match (even six years after its debut).
M235i outpoints 911, Corvette in CR testing, becomes highest-scoring BMW ever
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Good news just keeps coming for BMW, as Consumer Reports has just handed out a stunner of a verdict - the M235i, a spritely, 320-horsepower coupe that starts at just $43,100 has bested the likes of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and Porsche 911, vehicles that can easily cost twice as much and come to battle with considerably more power.
CR awarded the spiritual successor to the 1 Series M Coupe a score of 98 out of 100, beating out the 911 and the Stingray by three and six points, respectively. In fact, the M235i is remarkably close to the Tesla Model S' 99, making it one of the highest scores CR has ever handed out. It's also, not surprisingly, the highest-rated BMW ever.
Of the M235i's many attributes, Consumer Reports cited the car's performance potential as well as its quiet ride and comfort for front-seat passengers. While it's a shock to no one, CR called out the limited space in the backseats as well as some finicky controls as this Bimmer's biggest shortcomings.
