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... |

Looking back at 84 years of BMW roadsters
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Today BMW is a top player in the luxury vehicle market, but it wasn't always so. With origins as an airplane engine builder early in the 20th Century, it broke into the automotive industry when it bought Automobilwerk Eisenach in 1928. That German manufacturer was licensed to build the Austin Seven under the name Dixi DA-1, which could be had in a roadster body style. In 1929, BMW dropped the Dixi name, and by 1936, it was building a car it designed in-house, the 326 sedan. That was followed by the company's first roadster of its own design, the swoopy two-door 327 of 1937.
XCAR picks up there, and gives a history of BMW's iconic roadsters starting with the 327, ending with today's Z4, and covering everything in between - including the beautiful post-war 507 of 1957 and the funky, plastic-bodied 1989 Z1.
The video, which we've included below, is a good history lesson and a great chance to see a bunch of classic BMWs, spanning 84 years, all driven back to back within the safe confines of a racetrack. When you have a spare 20 minutes, go ahead and take some time to watch it.
EVO takes flight in BMW's sultry i8
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Electric cars and hybrids are here to stay, much to the apparent dismay of some auto enthusiasts, but that doesn't mean they have to represent the death of enjoyable driving. Granted, the initial run of hybrids in the US like the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius weren't exactly tailor-made for aggressive folks behind the wheel, but things are clearly changing. In its latest video, Evo takes a look at three examples from Europe's new crop of electrified vehicles to show that the future of fun motoring is safe and sound.
Evo editor Henry Catchpole kicks things off with one of the most bizarre EVs of the bunch, the tiny Renault Twizy. Its low power and 50-mile-per-hour top speed might make it miles away from a hot hatch, but there's still fun to be had in extracting the most from this little city car. Next up is the Audi A3 E-Tron, which isn't technically available yet. It's a step in the right direction of eventually creating an affordable, fun-to-drive hybrid hot hatch.
However, the main event is Catchpole getting some seat time in the BMW i8. The Bimmer can really fly -literally in this case - and the butterfly-door coupe offers a clear look at the prospects for electrified sports cars. It might not have the power of hybrid supercar contemporaries like the LaFerrari or Porsche 918 Spyder, but the BMW doesn't cost nearly as much, either. See? Improved efficiency doesn't have to mean boring.
BMW 2 Series Convertible goes for a drive in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The BMW 2 Series is the car that will eventually replace the 1 Series here in the United States (remember: the 1 Series moniker will live on to describe the hatchback models in other markets), and while we've seen the new coupe out on the prowl, we're now seeing the droptop version out on the road. We don't have much information about the new 2er models, only that they are expected to bow sometime in 2014.
Dimensionally, the new 2 Series convertible looks very similar in size to its outgoing 1 Series kin, with things like the roofline and roof shape looking nearly identical. Of course, reworked front and rear fascias are immediately noticeable, and judging by what little we can see, it appears as though the small BMW will take many of its design cues from the larger 3 Series rather than the oft-awkward-looking 1 Series hatch that's currently available in Europe.
Assuming things are still on track for 2014, we won't rule out a possible debut in Geneva, though the Frankfurt expo in September makes even more sense.
