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!

2016 BMW 7 Series spied for the first time ever
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Ladies and gentlemen, Bimmerphiles and automotive voyeurs of all stripes: here is your next-generation BMW 7 Series. Captured in photographs for the first time ever while doing a spot of cold-weather testing in Sweden, this newly slim 7er will most likely debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2015 and launch in the 2016 model year.
Sources indicate that BMW is targeting a much lighter curb weight for the 7 Series, and will use learnings gained with the i3 and i8 development to add carbon fiber-reinforced plastics in the construction. In return we'd expect the new model - which uses the internal model designation "G11" - to offer improvements in handling, acceleration and fuel economy. As with the current 7 Series lineup, expect the engine range to include turbocharged inline-six engines, one or more V8s and a V12 option.
It's fair to say that, with the car's debut still years down the road, that BMW will work to launch with an impressive suite of in-car technology, too. A completely new version of iDrive shouldn't be ruled out. These shots mark the beginning of a long journey to 2015, and we expect to have loads more information to share in the coming months and years, so stay tuned.
2014 BMW 4 Series convertible spotted
Thu, 27 Jun 2013We've seen a few spy shot packages featuring the upcoming BMW 4 Series Convertible already, but never with the car quite so naked as in this latest batch. Nabbed just outside the BMW Nürburgring workshop in Germany, this Melbourne Red 4 Series also shows the M Sport package for the first time.
With all of the cladding removed, we can see that the convertible shares the 4 Series coupe's great-looking nose and front end, though the resolution of that folding hard top into the rear bodywork remains a bit harsh.
With the 4 Series coupe now completely official, we have a pretty good idea of what the powertrain lineup for the 'vert will be. We'll be pretty surprised if a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo aren't the go-to engines at launch. Production of the droptop is likely to begin at the end of the year, so start bugging your local BMW dealer.
Next BMW X1 moving to smaller, lighter FWD-biased platform
Thu, 20 Feb 2014BMW's decision to make the upcoming 2-Series Active Tourer front-wheel drive has been polarizing to say the least, but like it or not, that is the direction the company will go in the near future - one rumor put the number as high as 23 front-wheel-drive models for Mini and BMW combined. The next-generation X1 won't send all its power to the front wheels, though, when it launches in early 2016. While it will use the same platform as the Active Tourer, rumors suggest all models will use all-wheel drive - at least at launch.
A "high-ranking," unnamed BMW manager confirmed to AutoWeek that the new model will switch to transversely-mounted three- and four-cylinder engines and the same six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions as the Active Tourer. The new, smaller platform will allow for more efficient packaging, and despite the smaller size, interior space will remain comparable. All the changes should make it significantly lighter too.
Don't start wailing just yet because BMW surely won't be entirely abandoning sporty models. AutoWeek claims that the Bavarians are working on a higher-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with power closer to 300 horsepower, about a 72-hp boost. It's also rumored to offer a sporty version of the X1 that may be called the X2.
