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... |

BMW suing Saab Automobile Parts for $3.2M
Fri, 24 Aug 2012Saab might be all but dead, but that's not stopping automakers that were once involved with the Swedish brand from attempting to reclaim losses. According to a Fox Business report, BMW has filed a 2.6 million Euro suit ($3.2 million USD) with a Swedish district court against Saab Automobile Parts for deliveries that went unpaid.
In 2012, Saab Automobile AB signed an agreement BMW that would see the German automaker deliver four-cylinder gas engines for its 9-3 range.
The suit also asserts that Saab ordered a large number of spare parts, and no payments were made to BMW. At the time, Saab was far from liquid, and filed for bankruptcy in December of last year.
Six 'shut up and take my money' cars
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Any time you see this iconic moment in pop culture - Shut up and take my money! - posted in response to a new car reveal, rumor for an upcoming model or even lip-service to a vehicle that should exist, you can bet there's some intrinsic good in the idea. Though depending on the person offering up the cash, that good could take the form of extraordinary form, functionality, weight savings, power, handling, etc. You get the idea.
In fact, when I first proposed this list, I reached out to the Autoblog staff to help me brainstorm. Here are some of the ideas they offered up that I ultimately didn't use: Jaguar XE Coupe, Pagani Huayra Roadster, Mercedes-Benz S-Class "parade car" (cabriolet), Morgan 3-Wheeler with Ducati V-twin, Ford Transit Connectamino (pickup), Mercedes CLA63 AMG, Ford Fusion 5.0, BMW i8 Spyder, Lexus RC-F Shooting Brake, Volvo XC90 Polestar. Oh, and things we collectively wanted to stick Dodge's Hellcat in were almost as numerous as models that Fiat Chrysler Automotive currently makes (though none quite so compelling as the Grand Cherokee you see above.)
Ultimately though, while I used a couple of ideas from my colleagues, the list of cars I'd shell out for unquestionably is very personal. Though it isn't complete, what follows is a selection of cars whose very existence would prompt me - or the trust-fund-baby versions of me - to utter without hesitation: "Shut up and take my money."
BMW shows up-armored X5 concept and we can't get near it
Wed, 11 Sep 2013BMW has brought a slightly different concept vehicle to the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Rather than something that foreshadows a future product or a new design direction, the Munich-based manufacturer has brought an X5 that's designed to be shot at. It's called the Concept X5 Security Plus. The Concept X5 name is a bit misleading, though. It's based on the 2014 X5, while BMW already builds an armored CUV, called the X5 Security. The concept tag has to do with the "Security Plus" part.
Engineered to be compliant with VR6 security standards - the current X5 Security is for VR4 standards - the Concept X5 will quite happily shrug off direct attacks from an AK-47. Thanks to sealed joints, high-strength steel moldings, high-performance steel body panels and special, polycarbonate-coated security glass, Kalashnikov's finest, whether used as a firearm or as a melee weapon, would be useless against this X5.
Built alongside the standard X5 in BMW's Spartanburg, SC factory, the X5 is shipped to a BMW facility in Toluca, Mexico for installation of the armor and security features. The company claims this delivers a more thoroughly engineered protective solution than aftermarket retrofitting.
