Ive got my 1995 BMW 540I up for sale. It was my daily driver for a while but replaced it and am finally getting around to passing this car on. This car is the E34 body type and is in awesome shape for an 18yo car. White with tan leather interior. Great paint with only a few dings. 292 horsepower M60 aluminum V8 engine with an Auto trans. Clock shows 201k. I have many service records for it going back a few years.
This car has had an Alusil engine installed in it at approx. 95k miles under the BMW Nikasil warranty. This engine runs strong with no hick-ups and will not experience the compression problems that other V8 BMWs of the time can have. There are many out there that have not had the engine changed out for the newer Alloy (alusil) but this car has had it completed.
Have done A LOT of work to this car. New front suspension arms, rear brakes (New calipers, pads, rotors, and E brake shoes), Master cylinder, Heater core, valve cover gaskets, water pump, spark plugs, coil packs, Radiator and expansion tank, hoses, window regulators, and battery among others. I had brand new Z rated tires installed a few weeks before I parked it. This car runs well. Needs 1 motor mount and a horn, thats about all that i know of but it is old enough to vote, a used car, and is sold AS IS. Used cars almost always require some work. It was always reliable when I was driving it every day and starts up every time. Please do not hesitate to ask questions about the car and for additional photos if you would like. I will do my best to represent this vehicle as what it is but make no guarantees.
In 1995 BMW did not release an M5 and the 540I was the top of the line 5 series with enough styling differences to set it apart from the normal 5 series. Looks like a beige plague sedan but under the hood is a monster. This car is a rocket and a blast to drive. Everything in the interior works and the factory sound system still sounds great. Tinted windows, power seats, dual zone heating/AC, mirrors, windows, and moon roof, all functional. The only things that do not work are the keyless entry and the BMW OEM Cellular phone which is still installed. There are a few scratches here and there on the leather in the interior but what 18yo car doesnt?
This car would be perfect to setup for Autocross or a daily driven hot rod! Or maybe just a toy. The E34s are becoming difficult to find in decent shape and this car is certainly a gem considering its age. And this one has the largest engine offered in this body!
I am certainly open to offers!

2014 Dinan S1 BMW M5
Thu, 04 Sep 2014The last time the Dinan name graced the pages of Autoblog, Michael Harley was waxing poetic about the S3-R BMW 1M Coupe, a car that still stands in his ranks as one of the best cars he's ever driven. And that wasn't just because it was, you know, amazing. It's because as far as tuners go, Dinan produces some seriously well-executed products. Harley said of the 1M, for example, "It was so fully formed and well-rounded that it felt like BMW itself had made it."
Eager to sample some of these wholly wonderful wares, I cleared a few hours in my Monterey Car Week schedule and booked a date with the S1 M5 you see here - the (current) daily driver of Mr. Steve Dinan, himself. But unlike the S3-R 1M the company tuned previously, the donor car in question here is vastly different and, if I'm honest, not as good. See, I adore the stock 1M in a way words cannot express, but the standard-issue M5... good as it is, there are indeed a few flaws.
But after driving the Dinan S1 M5 around the Monterey Peninsula, I can confirm two things. First, Harley's conclusion that Dinan builds products that feel 100 percent BMW-spec is absolutely true. And second, Steve and the gang haven't just created a tuned M5, they've built a better one.
BMW X4 M probably not in the cards
Thu, 26 Sep 2013BMW is preparing to exploit its latest market niche - those that find themselves unable to choose between the 3 Series, 4 Series and X3 - with the X4. If you're looking for an M product, though, you'll remain limited to the 3 and 4 Series. BMW's Bernhard Ederer, at the Australian launch of the X5, told Car Advice he wouldn't "bet on it," when asked about a hotter X4.
Oddly, Ederer's reasoning, according to the Aussies, is out of concern for the X6 M, whose sales the X4 M would apparently cannibalize. That's like saying the M3 doesn't make sense because it will cannibalize M5 sales - the logic just doesn't really hold up. "The question is what customers are we talking to? And are we talking to someone that is willing and able to afford [an X6 M]?" Ederer told Car Advice.
Car Advice seems to feel the same way, claiming the X3-based X4 will share its powertrains with its donor platform, and will eventually spawn an M variant, albeit a few years down the line.
BMW M4 vs. Lexus RC F in Head 2 Head sports coupe showdown
Wed, 29 Oct 2014It's the showdown everyone's been looking forward to, the East versus West grudge match of the year. We're talking, of course, about the BMW M4 versus the Lexus RC F.
Although BMW uses a twin-turbo straight-six and the Lexus uses a free-breathing V8, the two are pretty closely matched on paper: a luxury coupe with over 400 horsepower channeled to the rear wheels.
The BMW has been doing these cars for longer, and the M4 boasts a higher power-to-weight ratio. But then the RC F has more power - and without forced induction to break up the rev range. So which is the better luxury muscle coupe? Watch the latest episode of Motor Trend Head 2 Head to find out.
