1969 BMW 1600
Great little rat rod as it sits or can be restored, FUN TO DRIVE. I have driven this car to Santa Fe 65 miles away. The car has had the same owner since 1971, purchased in New Mexico and been here since.The last 9 years it has sat in a yard. I aired the tires changed the fluids and cranked it up. There is some puffs of grey smoke on shifting and I am sure it burns some oil. Pulls smoothly. I had planned to keep as a weekend rat rod driver just adding a suspension and enjoying (maybe some engine mods over time). But its been sitting and I just dont see anything happening anytime soon. Mileage is 69000 plus or unknown. The body is as seen with some rust pockets and slight dents, the rubbers seals need to be placed on trunk. Looks to be some bondo on the nose. The interior is as seen horse hair padding is shot, seats lean. There is a bend in the drivers side "A" pillar. Carpets are as seen, rough. The liner is intact but some area it is loose at connections ends. There is a 4th black sport mag I had to put the spare on when picked up. The car runs and shifts fine, there is a little oil on the engine and smokes a little as described above. Pulls a bit on braking. SOLD AS IS. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS before bidding. |

BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition is so cool it's Frozen
Fri, 15 Aug 2014The new, one-of-a-kind BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition made a ritzy debut last night at BMW's private villa, giving the media its first chance to look at the ultra-exclusive hybrid.
As we said in our previous post, the most notable feature of the Concours d'Elegance i8 is its matte grey paint, known as Frozen Grey Metallic in BMW parlance. This isn't the first time we've seen this shade on an exclusive BMW, as it was last used for the Frozen Grey M3 from 2010.
Contrasting quite nicely with the i8's flat paint are its blue and white accents, and its Dalbergia Brown leather upholstery. Blue contrast stitching complements the interior aesthetic, as do the embossed BMW roundels in the headrests.

BMW begins restoring Elvis Presley's 507 [w/video]
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Imagine the King of Rock n' Roll driving a car and you'll likely picture a pink Cadillac or a yellow De Tomaso shot full of holes. But Elvis also owned a 1957 BMW 507 roadster, and now that roadster is returning home to BMW headquarters.
The 507 was a rare bird, of which only 254 examples were ever made. They were sold mostly to celebrities and royalty, but Elvis Presley was a GI when he bought it while stationed in Germany. The example that he bought had been displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show, used as a press car and raced by Hans Stuck (which is how Elvis came to see it in the first place), so when he took delivery of it second-hand, the dealership had a new engine installed. It was originally white, but legend has it that Elvis got tired of women writing their phone numbers on the side of it in lipstick that he had it repainted in red.
Stories differ on what exactly happened to it next, with some saying that he returned it once the lease was up and other saying that the army shipped it back to him in the States after his tour was over. But what we do know is that the car sat for many years, neglected but sheltered from the elements. Now it's heading to the the BMW Museum in Munich, where it will be on display until August 10, after which the BMW Group Classic department will undertake a comprehensive restoration of the star-studded roadster that's expected to take two years of work.
