1988 BMW M5 vin#
WBSDC9304J2875220 with 151K miles, in excellent condition with over 12K
invested within the last 3K miles. It’s
black with natural tan leather. The doors, trunk, hood and dashboard all have
the vin# present. The windshield and
window glass are all BMW and not aftermarket. This is quite remarkable considering the age
of the vehicle. The tires are new and the rims look new with no road rash of
any kind. I replaced the battery this
spring and the car has a current State of Maine inspection sticker. Currently, the car doesn’t need anything
except a driver who’ll enjoy it!
It doesn’t have any rust and
the paint is in good condition. I would
rate the exterior an 8/10. No dents or
door dings are present, but it does have some scratches and other minor
imperfections. However, it does present
itself extremely well.
The interior is also in good
condition with the original radio intact. The power seats/windows all work accordingly. The only issue with the interior is the
driver’s seat has a 1” split from a crease that dried out over the years. Other than that, the seats are in great
condition. Please see pics. I
would rate the interior an 8.5/10. The
dashboard does have cracks, which is typical of most European makes of this
era. Please see pics. The a/c was converted to R134 in 2010 and
blows ice cold air.
The stock self - leveling
suspension was replaced with a Bilstein sport kit and has been lowered. It handles like it’s on rails! It has a stainless steel exhaust with a new
catalytic converter. The exhaust note is
incredible!
The sunroof operates when it
feels like it. I think the switch is bad
and needs to be replaced, so I’m told. The electric antenna was replaced in 2010 and
is fully functional.
I purchased the car in 2012
from a German auto enthusiast. He
purchased it in 2010 with 149K on the clock with the intention of investing
whatever it took to get the car up to his standards. He lost his storage and was forced to sell the
car. Please see the condensed list
below of the work performed between 149K and 151K. If you’re a serious buyer, I can email you a
detailed list of everything done to the car since 2010 or within the last 3K. However, I do have a binder full of records
dating back earlier than that. I do have
the original owners manual for the car and radio, as well as, the original ’88 service
book. These are all in excellent
condition. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. A/C R134 conversion including

BMW i3 gets official worldwide
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Even though we recently drove a near-production version of the BMW i3, the car still wore light exterior and interior camouflage. Today, BMW took off that little bit of camo and made a big announcement: The i3 will go on sale in the US for $41,350 in the second quarter of 2014. That does not include any state or federal incentives that could lower the price or the $925 destination fee. The i3 will debut with three trim levels, which BMW is referring to as Worlds: Mega (standard in the US), Giga and Tera.
The BMW i3 is chock-full of new technology afforded by its design as an EV from the start of development, which has resulted in a vehicle layout unique to the i3. BMW has named it LifeDrive architecture, and it features the Life Module and the Drive Module. The Life Module is the i3's pillar-less passenger cell, which is the first mass-produced monocoque made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The tougher-than-steel material is also 30-percent lighter than aluminum, which contributes to the i3's relatively light weight of 2,700 pounds (preliminary US figure) and, in turn, increases its energy efficiency. Expect more of this technology to find its way into future BMWs.
The Drive Module, a 100-percent aluminum chassis mounted under the Life Module, houses everything that makes the i3 go. It includes the 22-kilowatt, 450-pound lithium ion battery mounted as centrally as possible, and provides power to a rear-mounted electric motor that turns the rear wheels. With 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque from zero rpm, the single-gear i3 can accelerate from 0-30 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and 0-60 mph in about 7.0 seconds, but it has a top speed of only 93 mph. BMW says the i3 has a real-world EV range of 80-100 miles, and the standard charger can fill the battery in three hours. Opt for the SAE DC Combo Fast Charger and 30 minutes is all it takes for a full charge; 20 minutes will bump the battery to 80 percent. For customers who have range anxiety, BMW gives them the option to install a 34-hp, 650cc two-cylinder generator as a range extender for the electric drive system.
2015 BMW X6
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Most everyone would agree that BMW offers a range of very attractive and well-proportioned coupes, sedans, crossovers and wagons. Yet there is one member of its family that has always struck us as a bit odd: the X6.
Proudly coined "The world's first Sports Activity Coupe" by its German maker, the X6 features a wedge-shaped body with a characteristic sloping roofline that appears to squash the heads of its second-row occupants. The crossover rides high off the ground, with a pronounced gap between its chassis and oversized wheel/tire package, capped by short overhangs on both ends. Although curious to the eyes, its overall styling is masculine, and its stance aggressive.
Whether you consider the X6 to be attractive or an eyesore - opinions seem about equally divided - there is nobody at BMW questioning its business model. As of today, the automaker has sold more than 260,000 copies of its five-door crossover, which is why it has flown us to Spartanburg, SC, to sample its second-generation 2015 BMW X6.
BMW confirms new Mexican plant
Thu, 03 Jul 2014After over a year of speculation, BMW is finally officially announcing that it's building a factory in Mexico. The new plant will cost the German automaker roughly $1 billion US and will have a capacity of about 150,000 vehicles a year when complete. However, production won't begin there until 2019.
The new factory is being built near the city of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, with plans to employ about 1,500 people. Unfortunately, BMW is still mum about which models it's producing south of the border. Earlier rumors indicated the possibility of the 3 Series, 1 Series and maybe even Mini models there.
BMW says Mexico's multiple free trade agreements are a major factor in the choice of location of the plant. They make it possible for the automaker to ship models more cheaply to North America, parts of South America and the European Union. "The Americas are among the most important growth markets for the BMW Group. We are continuing our strategy of 'production follows the market,'" said Harald Krueger, the board's head of production, in the company's official announcement.
