1984 BMW 528E sedan, acquired the vehicle as a trade for another vehicle and had plans to clean it up and sell but noticed the oil light blinking when the car is warm and idling. Did a compression check and discovered there are two cylinders without compression. My dad doesn't want to do the repairs on the car so it's being sold for parts or repair. Previous owner had oil changed before it was traded, and the car was a daily driver prior to being traded.
I have had the car about a week, so I will do my best to describe everything I know about the car. It starts, runs, drives and stops - car was driven 30 miles home when traded and made the trip without issue. Everything on the car works as far as I can tell, aside from the rear drivers window which doesn't roll up or down. The battery has a slow drain when the car isn't running but was told that starting the car once daily or disconnecting battery solves the problem, could be an easy fix but have not looked into it. Glove box latch needs to be installed, but is in the glove box. Inspection light is on, I'm guessing due to the engine trouble. Car rides nice once up to speed, but seems like something is clogged up when accelerating - acts like it wants to go but all the power just isn't there. Exhaust is a little louder than it should be, but the car is not loud.
Interior is in pretty good shape, no rips or tears in the leather. Exterior is in good shape as well, not much rust on the car at all. Paint has started fading, more on the passenger side than any other part of the car. Trunk still has original tool kit, and full size spare tire with matching rim. Good tires on the front, rear tires will need replaced soon. Sony cd player works, but the screen does not as far as I can tell. Headlights, taillights, turn signals, brake lights and horn all work as they should and glass is all in good shape with no cracks.
Car definitely has potential, it's in great shape for being 29 years old - we're just isn't familiar enough with BMW's to perform the work needed. Feel free to contact me with any questions, I can take more photos upon request as well.
Thanks for looking & happy bidding :)

Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo torquing its way toward Frankfurt
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Few tuners benefit from the kind of factory support that Alpina does, giving the pseudo-aftermarket firm nearly as much official status as BMW's own M division. And this is its latest product.
Set to debut, as expected, at the Frankfurt Motor Show this week is the new Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo, which you can consider, for all intents and purposes, the diesel M3 that BMW never built. While the outgoing D3 (which was Alpina's best-selling model) used a four-cylinder engine, Autocar reports that the new model packs a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo inline-six diesel to drive a respectable 345 horsepower but a mammoth 516 pound-feet of torque to either the rear wheels or all four through the optional availability of xDrive. (European buyers will also be able to choose between sedan and wagon bodystyles.)
The engine is the same as you'd find in the XD3 and D5 (Alpina's diesel performance versions of the X3 and 5 Series, respectively), but in the lighter 3 Series form can propel the D3 Bi-Turbo up to 62 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds and on to an Autobahn-crunching top speed of 173 mph. And as per Alpina tradition, visual cues are minimal, with a subtly optimized aero kit and 19- or available 20-inch alloy wheels. Unfortunately, the 7 Series-based B7 is the only Alpina we get on this side of the Atlantic, but an oil-drenched performance enthusiast can dream.
A closer look at the 2015 BMW M3 and M4
Fri, 17 Jan 2014It's fair to say we're going to miss the E92 BMW M3. Its high-revving V8, flame-styled looks and excellent driving character made it quite simply one of the best cars of the 2000s. Its replacements, the new M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe have a lot to live up to.
We still have a few months to wait until we can drive the new cars, but that doesn't mean we can't get excited in the meantime, learning everything we can. To find out, we sent west coast editor Michael Harley onto the Detroit Auto Show floor earlier this week to talk about the new M cars with BMW product manager Victor Leleu.
If you want a concise, but highly informative rundown of these new cars, look no further than this video. Leleu talks about the styling, weight savings and engines in a lot of detail, making this an interview M fans aren't going to want to miss. Scroll down for the full video.
VW Golf R pitted against BMW M235i in enthusiast's choice battle
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Most people don't have two, open spots in their garage to fit a practical daily driver and a fire-breathing performance car for the weekends. That's what makes vehicles like the latest Volkswagen Golf R and BMW M235i just about perfect for the average person. Both of these Germans can lope around as a commuter 90 percent of the time and be perfectly comfortable. However, when you want to walk in the door with a big smile on your face, you can take the back roads home and get a real thrill from them.
In his latest short video, Chris Harris from Drive tests these surprisingly comparable German performance cars. Both of them offer buyers in the neighborhood of 300 horsepower, with the BMW winning out with 320 hp. However, the Golf R gets standard all-wheel drive, which is now an option on the M235i. Harris has quite positive things to say about these Europeans, but you're going to have to watch the video to hear just what he thinks.
