          320is 5-speed conversion

320is Recaro Seats

          2 Owner California “Blue plate” car

 

I am listing this car for my brother and following is his write up.

 

  • Summary

 

I’ve decided to sell my 2002. I have owned this car for the past 18 years and it has been a great vehicle and a joy to own. I bought the car from the original owner here in southern California, where I live, so this is a two owner California car.

 

It has been well cared for, well serviced (as you can see below) and very reliable. I have made numerous repairs and tasteful upgrades and it has been slowly been restored while in my stewardship. It has been my weekend driver and occasionally driven to and from work, approximately 30 miles, for the past eighteen years, but it’s time for a new owner to enjoy this appreciating classic.

 

The rebuilt motor runs great and the mild 288 cam, Weber 38 DGES carburetor, 5-speed transmission and bigger brakes transforms the car from its original 1971 spec sheet. It looks good and drives and handles exceptionally well.

 

Keep in mind that this is a 43 year old vehicle and it is not being sold as a show car, nor is it priced as one. The Sahara Beige paint is the original color and it is in excellent condition and being a California car has no rust due to recent bodywork upgrades in February of this year.

 

To match the 320is Recaro seats, the rear seat, door panels, carpeting, and headliner have all been upgraded for consistency and match perfectly. They are all in very good condition. The dashboard does have some cracks and the door closure could use minor adjustments.  Lights, turn signals, etc. all work as they should.

 

To duplicate a project 2002 to this quality would be very costly in both time and money. So if you’re looking for a very nice 2002 that you can get in and confidently drive and enjoy today, this could be your car.

 

It attracts attention everywhere it goes and it seems that everyone has a question or a story to share about these great little cars. Someone is going to get and enjoy a great little 2002 Roundie!

 

All service records and receipts, from both owners, are available for review.

 

Car is located in Huntington Beach and local inspection can be arranged through Ebay email.

 

  • Shipping is at the expense of the purchaser.

 

  • Please do not ask the reserve or what I want for it, as this is an auction.

 

  • This car is also available to local buyers and may be sold at any time. I reserve the right to end the auction upon its sale.

Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 priced at $48,855, AWD at $50,855

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Infiniti's most powerful production model, the new Q50 Red Sport 400, now has a starting price. You'll need at least $48,855 for the rear-drive model or $50,855 for all-wheel drive. (Both figures include the $905 destination charge.) A fully loaded, rear-drive Q50 RS400 with Direct Adaptive Steering, navigation, adaptive cruise control, a heated steering wheel, and Infiniti's entire alphabet soup of safety equipment, tops out at $57,045. (Again, add $2,000 for AWD). When it comes to rear-drive competition, the closest base price to the Q50 is the 320-hp BMW 340i. This German undercuts the Infiniti by two grand, $46,795 to $48,855. But the BMW outprices the Q50 as soon as you start selecting options. A 340i with similar equipment to a loaded Q50 Red Sport 400 costs just under $60,000. All-wheel-drive German competitors also lose out in the price war. Like with the rear-drive models, the BMW 340i xDrive undercuts the Q50 RS400 by around $2,000. Add the options, and the Infiniti becomes a better value. The other two big German rivals, the Audi S4 and Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG start at a higher price and only get more expensive. Technically the S4 starts cheaper than the Q50, but only with the standard manual transmission. Selecting the S-Tronic dual-clutch model kicks the price from $50,125 to $51,125, and going for the top-end Prestige trim will bump potential Audi owners up to $57,025. Throw on must-have S4 options, including adaptive cruise control, adaptive dampers, and a sport differential and you'll be shell out $64,425 for the Audi. The Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG is the priciest choice in this group, starting at $51,725, or roughly $900 more than a base Q50 RS400 with AWD. Options, again, are the downfall here. Building a C450 to match a loaded Infiniti will drive the Mercedes' price up to $64,315. While it occupies something of a weird space relative to these vehicles, it's also worth mentioning the Cadillac CTS VSport. It's the only car in this impromptu pricing comparo that can outgun the Q50, with its 3.6-liter, twin-turbo V6 good for 420 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. It also starts at $60,950, although that includes plenty of standard equipment. All this means that the Q50 Red Sport 400 represents a relative value. It packs more power than the Germans – 80 more than the 340i, 67 more than the S4, and 38 more than the C450 – and a more comprehensive list of options, too.

BMW says yes to 1 Series M successor, no to M6 Gran Coupe with xDrive

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

If you're anything like us, the first half of that headline made you smile. The BMW 1 Series M Coupe was, without a doubt, one of our favorite cars from the past few years, and according to a BMW Blog interview, Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, head of the company's M division, has confirmed that a successor is in the works.
"We haven't made a decision yet, but the 1M coupe was so successful, that in my opinion, I am absolutely sure we will build a successor," Nitschke told BMW Blog. Currently, BMW only offers the M135i version of the new 1 Series hatch in Europe, which Nitschke says is "not a pure M car."
Moving elsewhere in the M range, BMW Blog asked about the M6 Gran Coupe that recently debuted at this year's Detroit Auto Show. The obvious competitors for this car will be higher-power versions of the Porsche Panamera and Audi RS7, but while both of those offer all-wheel drive, the M6 only sends power to its rear wheels.

BMW Vision Future Luxury arrives in Beijing dressed to the nines

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

Almost two weeks ago, we reported that BMW may be bringing a concept to the 2014 Beijing Motor Show that could herald a flagship 9 Series model that would be better suited to do battle with the tip-top of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class range than the current 7 Series. Well, here it is. This is the Vision Future Luxury Concept, and straight away, it looks suited to the role of ultra-luxury flagship.
In our original story, we reported that the Beijing concept would wear styling similar to the Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe that was shown in Villa d'Este nearly a year ago. Unlike that car, the Vision Future Luxury sports four doors, although its roofline plunges aggressively enough for it to be considered a four-door coupe. That doesn't mean it will compromise on rear-seat space, however. Judging by the length of the rear doors alone, this is a very large vehicle.
Its styling, though, is, as we reported, quite familiar. We can see the evolution of the Concours' concept's styling, with a narrower grille that still leads up into the hood. The thin headlights use BMW's Laserlight technology while retaining a shape similar to the Gran Lusso, and the lower intake is dominated by a carbon-fiber air deflector on both ends. BMW's Air Breather system can be found behind the front wheels, adding an accent along the lower portion of the doors. In back, organic LED lighting is used for the super-slim taillights.
