1986 Porsche 928S For Sale with only 35k miles!

Posted by Dan | Posted in Automotive, German For Sale, Online Classifieds Car Show | Posted on 20-06-2008

As usual, I'm a sucker for low mileage, modern classic sports cars. This classic Porsche 928 fits the bill with only 35k miles. The 86 S model is one of those odd combination middle-year cars that got the updated 32 valve motor that was slated for the 87 S4 models, but hadn't received the updated bodywork yet. I always liked the funkier early tail lamps anyway!

I hate to say it, but $18k for this 1990 BMW e30 M3 sounds like a good buy if it checks out:

1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTi: OMFG, 31k Original Miles!

Posted by Dan | Posted in Automotive, German For Sale, Online Classifieds Car Show | Posted on 01-06-2008

They're not just crawling out of the wood work, they're taking over! I can't believe how many super low mileage cars of this era have sprouted up this week. Continuing that trend is this incredible low mile and perfectly stock (and more importantly unmolested) 1984 Rabbit GTi that Bring A Trailer has exclusive:

Considering the original miles of this car versus the other one featured recently, this is a no brainer. This car won't be for sale for long.

1991 BMW e34 M5: Get Out The Drool Bucket, Only 3000 miles!

Posted by Dan | Posted in Automotive, German For Sale, Online Classifieds Car Show | Posted on 01-06-2008

What can I say, this one really does best my top post, e34 m5 For Sale: Drool Factory. It has only 2730 miles!! And it really does look the part:

1991 BMW M5 Less Than 3K Original Miles on eBay Motors

Really it is anyone's guess on what this car will actually sell for. You'd have to be a complete e34 M5 fanatic (and Powerball winner) to pay the $40k buy-it-now. That said, the richest 1% have a lot of disposable income and who knows which prospective buyer might fancy a brand new, 1991 BMW M5.

1995 BMW e34 540i M Sport: A Completely Legitimate Alternative to the M5

1

Posted by Dan | Posted in Automotive, German For Sale, Online Classifieds Car Show | Posted on 27-05-2008

Anyone who has seen Ronin knows how badass the BMW e34 M5 is. But even though lots of 'affordable' M5's are showing up on eBay and Roadfly for under $15k, I wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole. The M5 motor is very sophisticated and maintenance intensive. Properly maintained cars trade hands for more like $18-25k and up.

Which is what makes the 540i M Sport so attractive. It's practically an M5 with a more simple V8 engine under the hood. And while the V8 won't spin and sound like the inline 6 in the M5, the power isn't off by much. Considering the very low production numbers, I've seen at least 6 for sale in the last 6 months. Here's a nice looking one in Vail for $9500(!) :

1995 BMW 540i Sport 6 speed on Craigslist

[...]Nearly fully refurbished '95 BMW 540i Sport 6 Speed manual, Calypso Red Metallic (burgundy) over Natural (tan) leather interior in excellent shape (built 9/95), with BMW updated Alusil engine block at 60k. Sport package & cold weather package: traction control, heated leather sport seats (driver and passenger), M Sport suspension, body trim, sunroof, am/fm/cass/cd changer, with 282 HP and 295 Ft-Lbs of torque (stock). Garaged, non-smoker, cruise, pw, pdl, pm, BMW alarm w/remotes, memory seats/mirrors, and climate control w/ice cold a/c. No accidents or leaks, with 122k of mostly hwy mlg, & no tears/cracking in interior (only minor wear).[...]

The biggest issue of concern has already been addressed with the replacement of the long block. Read more about this unique model at the 540i Sport FAQ.

For such a low entry price, this looks like great fun and easy cruising!

1993 Ducati 750SS Wallpaper: Created with Canon 70-200 F4L

I've rented the 70-200 F4L from ZipLens to practice my motorsports photography. Here's the first result, some 1993 Ducati 750SS Wallpaper:

I didn't PS these very much, though the first one did get a blatent gradient overlay applied to the sky. But my intention was to make an 80's bedroom wall poster effect, and I think I got pretty close for a first effort. Please feel free to leave comments for suggestions and improvements. Enjoy!

Lots of e30 M3 Goodness For Sale this Spring

1

Posted by Dan | Posted in Automotive, Online Classifieds Car Show | Posted on 21-04-2008

Here's a gray market 323i that sold while I was gone. Very cool and original upgrades:

1985 EURO BMW E30 323i with Alpina / Zender C1 2.3 M3 on eBay (Dallas, Sold for $5200):

1985 BMW 323i Alpina Zender

Offered here for sale is one very rare and collectible 1985 EURO BMW E30 323i with an Alpina / Zender C1 2.3 package, based on BMW's 323i (E30 body style)

This car was purchased new in Europe Germany at the time, and then imported it to the US. The car was federalized in the USA. The service was done not long ago as well (all fluids being changed, the sparks and wires replaced, new hoses, new exhaust, etc.). It is a Texas car with no rust, shinny paint and it is registered in Texas. German tags all around, never wreck. The car is registered in Texas as a 1985 323i. This Bimmer has new upholstery. Original German front plate. The plastic and moldings are complete and in great shape. I have owned MANY e30 and e30 M3 and I never seen a cleanest and tightest e30 like this car. The interior is extra clean as well as the bay engine. No weird noises, and is really strong and very responsive when driving

This car has the following Alpina or Schnitzer parts installed: 323i-based 6-cylinder engine, limited-slip finned-cover differential, super light weight BBS 7Jx15" wheels (two pieces) , Alpina wheels emblems, Zender front fiberglass spoiler, Zender rear spoiler, and Schnitzer Side skirts. Front and rear Alpina emblem, sport springs, shocks and struts. Alpina Racing gear box with close-ratio 5-speed transmission, fuel injection system, ZF slip diff, center muffler, twin rear mufflers, instrument cluster in km(106.300) not miles, wiper and washer headlight kit. Power windows, power mirrors, power sunroof. New light tint windows, yellow beams. It is equipped with sport suspension; German Bleinstein shocks and sport short springs. Alpina rare fender turn signals. Momo gear knob. Sony exploid stereo (I rather to have the original but I bought the cat with that stereo).

I've also noticed quite a few enticing BMW's on EnthusiastAuto.com that have been listed on RoadFly. They have not one, two, or three sweet e30 M3's, but several other cool BMW's as well. Here are a few pics:

1990 BMW e30 M3 For Sale with S50 Conversion

Here's an e30 M3 for sale in Atlanta on eBay:

1990 BMW e30 M3 Rede30 M3 Interior Tan For Sale1990 BMW e30 M3 S50 Conversion

I know e30 purists and collectors cringe when the S50 conversion is mentioned, but these cars might be the last affordable way into an e30 M3 - and they come with a nice performance boost! For someone who is going to drive and maybe even compete at auto-x's or track day's, this car is a no brainer. The last conversion I featured went for $15k!

Update 3.30.08: This one sold for $15k too!
