1975 Bmw 2002 E10/325i Engine (a-pillar Damage From Accident) on 2040-cars
Brisbane, California, United States
This is a fully restored restore car that unfortunately was hit by a run away car outside my house. The car runs but will not move as a result from the accident. The a-pilar was hit on the driver side forcing the front wind shield and engine to move a few inches. It does not roll very well as part of the steering component's and passenger front wheel was forced into the curb. It will need to be repaired before it is drivable. (The pictures where you can not see the damages is prior to the accident, main picture on the add is before the accident) It has a fuel injected 325i engine from a 1990 model and a 1982 323i Euro 5 speed transmission. The engine and transmission it has ONLY 14.503 miles on it after we rebuild it, this is a CALIFORNIA car with no rust. And the best of all is that it is SMOG EXEMPT! The engine got completely rebuild with new head, valves, cam shaft, piston rings, water pump, oil pump, thermostat, gaskets (all stock parts) Gas tank was cleaned, new fuel pump, KYB struts and Eibach lowering kit, front & rear wheel bearings and seals replaced, rebuild calipers with master cylinders, all new rubber moldings, Hella head light conversion. Most lights, knobs and trim were all replaced during the restoration. Interior is black vinyl, black carpet and black headliner, all in great shape as it was new 4 for years ago. CD player with AM/FM/XM and Ipod connector. I truly enjoyed this car as a daily driver and I will pass it on for another BMW enthusiast to either repair or use it for parts. |

Thermal imagery of BMW M4 DTM pit stop is red hot
Wed, 28 May 2014A pit stop is a pit stop, right? The race car pulls in, the crew changes the tires, pumps in some fuel, maybe swaps out a busted body panel or squeegees the windshield, and off it goes for another heat. Only pit stops have become the focus of news lately for a number of reasons, whether it's because of mishaps (like the ones that prompted F1 to ban mid-race refueling), new time records (due largely to said ban) or interesting new ways to film the fast-paced action.
A few weeks ago we brought you footage of an IndyCar pit stop filmed from multiple angles courtesy of Google Glass. Now BMW has released a brief clip of one of its M4 DTM racers coming in for fresh rubber, all filmed by infrared camera. Its the kind of technology BMW uses to help optimize its German touring cars for competition, and now the Bavarian outfit has released some footage for fans to enjoy.
The resulting thermal imagery gives you an idea of how hot the car runs (and where the heat is emanating from), how warm they get the fresh rubber before they get it onto the car, and what kind of temperatures the pit crew is subjected to. Look closely enough in the 25-second video below and you'll even see the heat sputtering out of the exhaust pipes as the M4 downshifts into its pit box. (Just don't try adjusting your speakers, the clip is without audio.)
BMW X5 driver repeatedly fails to understand big rig braking distances
Fri, 19 Sep 2014Nobody should be shocked that a big, heavy vehicle like a semi truck takes a longer distance to stop than the average passenger car; it's just basic physics. However, this BMW X5 driver seemingly has a major problem grasping the concept, and it results in some serious damage to the back of his SUV.
The whole incident is very confusing to watch. The BMW doesn't even seem to have a reason to slow down before the semi slams into the back of it at fairly high speed. But to make the situation even weirder, the crashes just keep happening again and again.
To give the BMW driver a little credit, he appears amazingly calm when surveying the damage afterward. But you have to wonder what this guy was thinking when trying a harebrained move like this. Check out the video to watch the carnage unfold.
BMW names new head of M division
Wed, 24 Sep 2014BMW's performance division has been run by Dr. Friedrich Nitschke since 2011, developing, among other products, the new M3 and M4. But soon the good doctor will be retiring, and BMW has just named his successor.
Taking Nitschke's place as chairman of BMW M GmbH will be Franciscus van Meel (pictured at right), who until recently served as managing director of Audi Quattro GmbH - the rival outfit that makes Ingolstadt's performance models, including the R8 supercar and RS line of performance models.
Van Meel will join BMW on October 1, presumably to learn the ropes from Nitschke before the 59-year-old executive steps down at the end of the year. Back in January, Audi named Heinz Peter Hollwerweger as head of Quattro GmbH and reassigned van Meel to its Beijing R&D center, a role which evidently didn't suit him as well as creating Autobahn-storming German muscle cars.
