2009 BMW 135i Coupe(300hp) with a 6 speed manual transmission finished in Monaco Blue Metallic with a Taupe Boston Leather interior. Vehicle was special ordered from the factory in February 2009 and was delivered in May 2009 to be my daily driver. I was so pleased with its performance that I decided to make a couple of upgrades and try it out at the track for High Performance Drivers Education(HPDE) events with the BMW CCA and SCCA. The car was fitted with a Dinan Stage 3 Suspension Package (Shocks, Struts, Springs, Front and Rear Sway Bars, and Camber Plates) on July 5, 2010 by AtSpeed Motorsports in Hanover, Maryland. At that time a Dinan High Performance Oil Cooler was also installed for a total of $7,169.23 in Dinan parts and labor. I took the car to Virginia International Raceway (VIR) for one event with the Tarheel Chapter of the BMW CCA in October of 2011 where it performed extremely well. The vehicle has been cared for by AtSpeed Motorsports in Hanover, Maryland and at Russel BMW in Baltimore, Maryland. It is comfortable, quick, nimble and fun to drive on the street or the track. Due to my limited garage space and time, my father is housing the vehicle in South Carolina, and has listed it on my behalf. I will be fielding all questions and inquiries on the vehicle, and he will facilitate any local showings of the car. The packages and features on the car are as follows: Cold Weather Package - Ski Bag - Heated Front Seats Premium Package - Universal Garage Door Opener - Digital Compass Mirror - Auto-dimming mirror - Auto-dimming rearview mirror - Power Front Seats - Lumbar Support - BMW Assist Sport Package - Sport seats - M steering wheel - Shadowline trim Multi-function steering wheel Gray Poplar wood trim Moonroof Retractable headlight washers Rain sensor and auto headlights Xenon headlights Adaptive light control Automatic Air Conditioning Cruise Control iPod and USB adaptor w/cord Dinan Upgrades: D570-0820 Dinan Oil Cooler D140-0946 Koni/Dinan Adjustable Rear Shocks D140-0943 Koni/Dinan Left Strut D140-0943 Koni/Dinan Right Strut D120-05040 Dinan Front Sway Bar 26.5mm D120-0507 Dinan Rear Sway Bar 15.8mm D160-0004 Camber Plate Kit D100-0900 Dinan Performance Spring Set The car has a valid Tire and Wheel Protection Package, purchased through the BMW Dealer, which provides coverage through February 25, 2015 and will transfer with the vehicle.

Watch man destroy his M6 'lemon' with a sledgehammer and ax
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Just to be clear, the owner of this BMW M6 isn't ready for another one. He and his friend destroyed the V10-powered coupe in anger at the entrance to the Frankfurt Motor Show in a decidedly public fashion. Bild and GT Spirit report that the owner was angry over mysterious quality and reliability issues that he claims BMW wasn't able to fix. What we have here, folks, is claimed to be a very expensive lemon.
As the story goes, owner Pourmohseni Hadi bought the 2007 M6 in 2008, and five years later, he is still complaining about mysterious vibrations, rattles and severe jolts during gear changes - the latter he says have caused passengers to become nauseous. The car was taken to several BMW repair shops in Italy and Hadi says he he has written a letter to the automaker about his issues, but the car was never fixed and the letter unanswered, he claims. What we don't know is how many miles the car has been driven and when all these problems started happening. The situation reminds us of a certain Lamborghini Gallardo from a couple years back.
While we understand Hadi's frustration, perhaps an M6 just doesn't suit his tastes. After all, we'd be lying if we said a perfectly functioning M6 of this generation wasn't bumpy over uneven surfaces and wouldn't make some passengers nauseous, with its stiffly sprung suspension and dizzying 500-horsepower V10. Anyone wanna bet his M6 was equipped with one of BMW's notoriously abrupt SMG single-clutch gearboxes?
BMW bringing special Horse Edition 7 Series to Beijing
Thu, 10 Apr 2014The Beijing Motor Show is just a couple of weeks away, and BMW wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to show off its latest wares to one of its most vital markets. So when the doors open in Beijing, BMW will showcase the new 2 Series Active Tourer, 2 Series Coupe, M3 and M4, 4 Series Gran Coupe and X4. It will also introduce the i3 and i8 to China for the first time. But those are all models we've seen already. What's new is... wait for it... the 7 Series Horse Edition.
Not celebrating horses so much as the Year of the Horse, this special edition 7 Series is based on the long-wheelbase model and comes with all manner of M equipment packages, a special paint job from BMW Individual and unique touches inside and out. BMW isn't saying which engine it features, but it sells the series in China in 730Li, 740Li, 750Li, 760Li and ActiveHybrid forms, with rear- or all-wheel drive. Given that the one pictured is wearing an xDrive badge, it would have to be either the 740Li or 750Li, but buyers will presumably be able to order it in whichever spec they desire.
While it may not be as exciting as the 9 Series concept BMW is rumored to have lined up for the Beijing show as well, you can bet that the Bavarian automaker will find plenty of buyers for this extra-special, extra-Chinese, extra-equestrian luxury sedan, and command a healthy premium from each and every one of them.
BMW X5 eDrive Concept is utilitarian plug-in hybrid
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Bridging the gap between internal combustion engine-powered vehicles and electric vehicles are plug-in hybrids, and BMW has made one out of its biggest sports utility vehicle, even if it's just a concept car at this point. The plug-in hybrid X5 eDrive Concept debuted today at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and it sits attached to a charge port on the show floor.
As we reported in August, the X5 eDrive Concept combines a turbocharged four-cylinder engine of unknown output with a 95-horsepower electric motor, to achieve longer range and lower emissions. The X5 eDrive can drive up to 75 miles per hour and 19 miles on electric power alone, manage about 62 miles per gallon (3.8 liters per 100 kilometers) and accelerate from 0-62 mph in under seven seconds, according to BMW.
Three drive modes are offered: one that automatically operates the hybrid system, an all-electric mode and a Save Battery mode that operates the vehicle using the engine only.
