 Selling my rare 1991 BMW e32 750iL AC Schnitzer, granite silver exterior with practically zero rust, unique black buffalo leather interior in overall good condition. 114,738kms J-spec and Aircared (our strict emission testing which it easily passed) till Apr 2014, no known accidents. Body still isolates road noise impeccably like a true 7 and wind noises are virtually non-existent, the car seals well & does not leak water into the interior whatsoever.

A lot of new OEM front end parts, rear self leveling suspension in good shape and fully functional.
Brakes have lots of pad life left, tires have good tread.

All power accessories work which is rare for e32's and the A/C blows 2deg celsius, factory alarm, rear sunshade fully functional. Has the rare 'switchblade' key/remote, back up key is also included.
Absolutely no warning lights or warning messages!

Has the rare AC Schnitzer package which includes a complete body kit, staggered 8"/9" x 18" polished aluminum rims & lowering springs. Full size spare on factory alloy is in good shape.
Also has all of the euro goodies: Hella 'smiley' headlights, clear turn signals + sidesignals + rear fog lamps; this encompasses the sidemarker & 3rd brakelight delete.

The silky smooth, performance chipped V12 is very responsive and pulls hard, fully tuned up and will not need one for a while.
In case you're not familiar with a chipped M70, this engine should dyno ~330HP & 350ft/lbs Torque. Doesn't burn oil or run hot even with the A/C on.
Transmission shifts smooth and the diff is quiet.

Recent work includes:

- rear sunshade replacement
- all 4x original ACS rims have been professionally straightened + polished to a mirror shine
- oil change
- new spark plugs
- new caps + rotors
- new transmission fluid & filter
- fuel system cleaned
- throttle bodies refurbished
- MAF's cleaned
- Wokke performance chips in the 2x DME's + EML
- wiper blades
- engine power cables replaced
- A/C recharge
- new upper & lower control arms
- new front struts
- drag link & tie rods
- sway bar links
- rear dogbones

Being a high end 23 yr/old vehicle, it of course is not perfect or in mint condition for my asking price. I believe in being upfront as I cannot imagine one picking up the vehicle only to be disappointed with it's stated condition. These are the known issues:

- back window was recently cracked by a vandal - rear defroster still works for the most part and the glass is still smooth & does not leak water; will replace it for the buyer before pick up if negotiated in the best offer/winning bid
- driver seat leather itself is in good shape, though one of the seams has split ~4", has to be restitched for it to be primo
- the car's paint has definitely seen better days, could definitely use a repaint and would be an absolute gem with a new paint job; new AC Schnitzer decals/striping are still available for under $100 (to bring back the car's appearance as shown)
- has an ever so slight '55mph shimmy' - the thrust arms have been replaced which eliminated the so-common violent shaking, but some days the shimmy is very slight and some days not at all; will get an alignment before auction end to see if it eliminates it once and for all
- rear bumper has a small crack and the rear passenger door has a slight dent as shown by the pictures
- headliner sags slightly above the rear seats + under the sun visors
- one of the lower oil pan bolts is stripped and the car has a slight oil leak, the lower oil pan is super easy to access in case you are wondering; will try to fix via Helicoil before auction end but I cannot guarantee that I will be able to find the time to do so.
- traction control (aka ASC) does not turn off (ASC still activates in normal operation though); could be something simple like a defective ASC dash switch or ???; I never drive the car in snow or abuse the car hard enough to turn the traction control off and spin the tires, so it really doesn't bother me.

As mentioned the car could use paint to be a show stopper but it is a very unique ride and gets attention and people pointing/staring everywhere it goes. Even with the condition of the finish on the car, the car still shows well driving by or at 20ft as shown by the pictures. Your chances of seeing another e32 750iL AC Schnitzer are extremely thin.
There is a very good chance that the car would qualify for collector plates in B.C.. It might even qualify for collector plates in your jurisdiction, but I cannot confirm that for sure.

I'm a BMW enthusiast & would be happy to take the time to discuss the car in detail with all serious buyers. Email or message me if you would like to talk over the phone (we can exchange phone numbers privately), I would be more than willing to answer any questions over the phone or in person if you would like. *Car is residing in Vancouver, B.C.* let's discuss if you're serious & interested.

Have too many cars so I have to sell a few, so throw me your best bid or offer!

BMW M4 Convertible poised for Goodwood unveil

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

It shouldn't be a shock that BMW is working on a convertible version of the M4. Not only have we caught it testing twice, but this is an automaker that seems willing to build a vehicle for nearly every buyer's needs. Evo claims that the high-performance droptop is going to debut at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed in England from June 26-29.
Judging from the spy shots we've seen, the M4 Convertible will consist of a retractable hard top like the 4 Series cabrio. Other than the roof, there aren't expected to be many changes from the coupe. The engine will be the same turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, but the added weight of the roof and its mechanism may take a small bite out of performance.
We spoke to BMW USA about the rumor and were told that it has no comment at this time. After the M4 Convertible, Evo claims that BMW is working on a M4 Gran Coupe. How that would be all that different from an M3, isn't exactly clear.

Are you the next BMW X5?

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Who knew that diecast model makers could be such a good source of leaks? Less than a month after a diecast model 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA in China, someone overseas at Diecast Empire or Jadi Modelcraft could get a bath in boiling oil for leaking uncamouflaged images of the next-generation BMW X5.
Naturally, that assumes that this image from a brochure from a Jadi brochure is indeed the F15 BMW X5 - it was posted to Diecast Empire's Facebook page. In its favor, the lines all add up if we compare it to the most revealing spy shots we have of the coming crossover - the headlight corners, the metal trim separating the kidney grille from the opening just above the license plate, the cut of the swage line, and the fact that the model picture reveals all of the most important character pieces that BMW has kept covered.
There's something written on the door of the model image that isn't in the spy shots, but that could be an xDrive badge. We will see the genuine article soon enough and we'll know for sure. For now, we might have already seen its facsimile in miniature.

BMW restores classic Mini as it revives production in Netherlands

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Mini will be kicking off production in the Netherlands, a country that hasn't built a Mini-badged machine since 1966. In honor of this event, BMW Group Classic, the team responsible for all the cars in the BMW Museum, as well as being a spare parts and restoration company in its own right, revived a classic 1959 Austin Seven. That particular car, number 983, was one of the first Minis to be built in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands' JJ Molenaar's Car Companies built 4,000 Austin Sevens and Morris Mini-Minors between 1959 and 1966, although we imagine Dutch Mini production will be much bigger when it starts up again in summer 2014. A five-person team from VDL Nedcar, the group handling production of new Minis, took to the job of restoring the diminutive British car from nose to tail.
The 34-horsepower engine and the transmission were both completely rebuilt, while the door panels were redone by hand. Help from the Mini community aided the VDL Nedcar team in finding authentic replicas or original parts where possible. All told, the new classic Mini is a striking example of what a good restoration can do to a car. The Seven was repainted in its original Farina Gray, adding to the car's sense of authenticity.
