Very Special 1985 BMW 735i
The car has essentially been in one family since new. I bought the car from this family several months ago. It is reluctantly for sale as I have too many cars. It was bought new by a gentleman as a retirement gift to himself in ‘85. He owned it until ‘96, and then handed it down to his son. It has always been garaged and covered. It has never been in an accident. It passed California’s smog test with flying colors, 1 month ago, with a performance chip installed. The registration is current and it the title is in my name.
It has been conscientiously maintained over its 176k miles. I have the owner’s manual, brochure and 27 years of service receipts! Only OEM maintenance items have been used to ensure factory-correct performance. Only high-quality fluids have been used such as Mobil 1 synthetic for engine, Redline for transmission/differential, ATE Blue/Gold for brakes, and BMW coolant. This is a beautiful, carefully built car and is an unbeatable value for a BMW enthusiast.
Recent maintenance done:
tranny fluid, diff fluid, clutch fluid, PS fluid, coolant, oil & filter, spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, HVAC repair (cold AC!!!), v-belts, engine mounts and a new brake hydrobooster.
These models are disappearing fast and I feel it’s important that this very special car goes to someone who can appreciate the car for what it is. It would be very expensive to build a car like this today.
Here is a list of changes made to improve performance, drivability and aesthetics:
Suspension:
Custom-valved Bilstein shocks/struts and H&R sport springs
OEM front swaybar w/ urethane bushings, rear adjustable 19mm swaybar with urethane bushings
Dinan fixed front camber plates
Dinan rear adjustable (for camber) subframe
Hartge front strut brace
Engine: stock with E.A.T. performance chip. The stock chip is also included.
Exhaust: B&B Tri-flow cat-back exhaust; original catalytic converter
Mechanicals:
Getrag 260/5-speed manual transmission by Jim Blanton of PerformanceGearing.com
M5 clutch plate and disc
3.91 limited-slip differential with 50% lock also by Jim Blanton of PerformanceGearing.com
UUC short shifter providing crisp, definitive shifts
Wheels: 245/40-17 Sumitomo HTRZ-III tires on 17x8.5 BBS RC wheels. The RCs are discontinued, lightweight wheels that weigh around 17.5 lbs. each.
Brakes:
Porterfield R4-S street pads that are no dust, no noise and have high heat capacity producing far better performance than OEM or Metal Masters
BMP stainless steel brake lines
Exterior:
New paint in 2008 in the original Bronzit-beige; there are no discernable scratches
All body panels are straight and true with only one minor PDR-able dimple on the passenger-side front fender, as well as a very light scratch next to the driver's side front turn signal, which I have pictured.
European bumpers and front valence and rear OEM spoiler
Cibie low beam headlights from Daniel Stern lighting
Interior:
Cobra Daytona sport seats – fully adjustable for recline with great lateral support; much more comfortable than OEM
Momo steering wheel – smaller than stock and provides greater steering input with less motion. An immaculate, leather wrapped stock steering wheel is also included in sale.
OBC works
Factory tool-kit included, complete with RED SCREWDRIVER is installed in rear trunk-lid.
Items needing attention: Cruise control lever is floppy, but still works. There is a slight leak in the power steering that has recently come to my attention. There are several small crack on the dash.

Meet the inventor of the BMW 3 Series wagon
Sat, 11 May 2013It's hard to imagine, but once upon a time, there were only two BMW 3 Series variants: the coupe and sedan. Back before gran coupes, convertibles and yes, even touring models were available, buyers could only get their 3 Series fix if it came with two or four doors and a fixed roof. Back in the mid '80s, BMW engineer Max Reisbock was having some trouble fitting his whole family into his four door. Rather than suck it up and buy a van, he picked up a wrecked 3 Series and got to cutting in a buddy's garage. Months later, he had the very first 3 Series Touring ever built.
At first, he kept the the car to himself, using it to haul friends and family around, but he eventually showed it off to his friends at work. When the BMW executives found out about his project, they called him up to take a closer look. After putting an eyeball on the car, they took it, copied his design, made a few tweaks and quickly rolled out the first production 3 Series Touring. How's that for validation? Check out the video below for Reisbock's story.
2015 BMW M3 Sedan
Tue, 20 May 2014BMW's all-new M3 Sedan is dynamically nearly identical to its two-door M4 Coupe sibling: a stopwatch reveals that both are sub-four-second cars to 60 miles per hour, a racetrack proves that the mechanical twins are equally as adept on a road course and a full afternoon of driving on public roads demonstrates that each possesses talented everyday adaptability.
Yet after driving both BMW models back-to-back over two full days in Portugal, it's clear there are a few noticeable differences, both objective and subjective, that don't require instrument testing to reveal. All it takes is a few hours behind the wheel of both cars to conclude that one is slightly more agile, and the other a bit more twitchy. One has better outward visibility, while its counterpart is unquestionably more convenient.
It is the little things - subtleties attained through seat-of-the-pants observations - that eventually allow me to choose a favorite.
2016 X6 M brings the power at LA show
Wed, 19 Nov 2014BMW tore the cover off the second generation 2016 X6 M Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
BMW tuned the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 to push out 567 horsepower, up from the last model's 555 hp. Torque also leaps to 553 pound feet, compared with the previous output of 500 lb-ft. The V8 is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which swaps in for the old six-speed. This potent powertrain allows the crossover to hit 60 miles per hour in about four seconds.
The X6, which features slightly more dramatic styling and an angled rear roofline, debuted alongside the more conventionally styled 2016 BMW X5 M at the LA show.
