1991 Bmw 850i Base Coupe 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Indiana, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Thank you for your interest. I am selling my 1991 BMW 850i (E31) with 90,700 miles on the odometer (mileage might be slightly higher at time of sale). This car is in excellent condition for a 23 year old vehicle and has been very well taken care of. The body is very clean and free of rust and dents and has a shiny burgundy color (with only a few blemishes in the paint). This BMW has never seen snow as it was a Florida car that I bought three years ago and which I picked up in person and drove back to Pennsylvania without any problems at all. It has been stored during the winter months and was never driven in snow. The V12 engine is very strong and runs smoothly with no engine oil consumption at all. The automatic transmission shifts well from one gear to the next without any jerks. Suspension and brakes are in excellent condition as well. The interior is tan and very clean with a new headliner and new A, B, and C pillar coverings. The rear seats look as if no one ever sat in them (and how could one with so little space?), the passenger seat is very good, and the driver’s seat has a few minor blemishes (see pictures). Everything works just the way it should. I purchased this one-owner vehicle in November of 2011 with 88,365 miles on the odometer, and to this day I have only put a little over 2,000 miles more on it. It was supposed to be my sunny weekend driver, but I just haven’t had the opportunity to use it much. It is now time to part ways. Questions are, of course, always welcome, and should you require more photos, please let me know. Personal inspections and test drives are encouraged, provided you are seriously interested in purchasing my BMW. There is no warranty of any kind! The car’s title is in my possession and will be transferred to the new owner at the time of full payment. My BMW is also for sale locally, which is why I must reserve the right to take it off Ebay at any moment. Things that were done since I have owned this BMW: 2 new Batteries (4/22/2012 @ 89,800 miles) Fuel Tank Door Hinge (4/23/2012) Cover Center Console (5/8/12) Cover for Gear Selecting Lever (5/8/12) Windshield Wiper Motor Sunroof Rebuild (toothed racks; cable guides/trolleys) Center Link (5/6/2013 @ 90,225 miles) Front End Alignment (6/18/2013 @ 90,237 miles) 4 new Cooper Zeon RS3-A Tires (245/50R16 97W) – (6/20/2013 @ 90,225 miles) Ignition Lock with Code (8/25/2013) Crankshaft Position Sensor (9/10/2013) Spark Plugs (10/22/2013 @ 90,371 miles) Auxiliary Water Pump (4/4/2014 @ 90,410 miles) Heater Valve (4/18/2014 @ 90,410 miles) New OBC (no pixel errors) Things that may need attention: Cracked Blinker Glass (Front Left) Some Touch-up Paint Jobs |

BMW M3 driving off cliff is a chilling PSA
Mon, 10 Jun 2013We're a little shocked that the unnamed owner of this cliff-diving E46 BMW M3 would upload the in-car footage of his accident to YouTube. Not only that, he uploaded two videos: raw footage of his roll down the cliff (it looks like somewhere in the Southwest, maybe Arizona) and a tribute video for his BMW that suffered the most severe consequences of understeer. Not only does uploading the videos leave him wide open for judgment by fellow enthusiasts (just read the YouTube comments), but we imagine if the police and his insurance company somehow don't know about the incident already, they will shortly. Scroll below to view for yourself.
The raw footage shows the sort of driving that led to the M3's violent tumble, and it serves as a good public service announcement reminder for everyone out there: Just like the Spengler's streams, double yellow lines aren't meant to be crossed. Also, hard driving is one thing, but hammering on public roads at speeds clearly above your skill levels as a driver is not only a recipe for legal trouble, it's a script for ruining your car at the very least, if not your life.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
BMW revisits its 8 Series
Thu, 04 Jul 2013So why would BMW choose July 2 to release a retrospective on the 8 Series? Could it have something to do with the recent unveiling of the Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe concept, another sleek, B-pillarless V12 two-door, at this year's Villa d'Este? We have no idea, but the timing is likely coincidental.
This three-minute look at the 8 Series talks to Niels Hamann, who was smitten with the long-hooded coupe when it appeared in 1989 and finally bought one in 2004. Hamann also happens to be a project manager at BMW, and that came in handy when he wrote a book detailing every aspect of what was BMW's flagship for ten years but to the chagrin of many only managed one generation.
While we wait for the next clue about the Gran Lusso - 8 Series connection, check out the video below.
