Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"As-is. All systems functioning, rust-free (California car, never in salt or snow), no fluid leaks, no oil smoke, no SES or DSC or other warning lights illuminated."

Very-well maintained by a picky owner. Dinan trans. programming and Dinan rear diff. No accidents ever, as far as I know. Lifetime non-smoker (car and occupants!). Very clean. M5 front bumper cover. Lowered, upgraded very firm (but not particularly harsh) suspension. This car is well-sorted, reliable, and very powerful. Everything is working, including the a/c, which is very important lately! Recent (over the past 5000 miles or so) work includes four new tires (265/235-19), new front brake pads, new power steering hoses, new engine mounts, belts, coolant level sensor, intake gaskets, valve-cover gaskets, timing cover gaskets, battery, Mobil 1 (15W-50) oil change plus filter (performed last week), spark plugs, one coil, and a secondary throttle solenoid and cable (DSC parts).
This car is an absolute blast to drive, and generates lots of 'nice car!' comments. It can be a sleeper if you drive gently, and is much like a stock pre-VANOS 540i in terms of acceleration up to about 3000 rpm, then pulls very, very hard after that. No top-speed limiter, I think. I'm not brave enough to find out, nor is it safe enough to try that on public roads, in my opinion. This car might do an honest 175, I don't know. I have not tracked it, but it would be awesome at a Driver's School, I suspect. Dinan does very thorough engineering work, and uses high-quality parts, and this car shows it. The transmission shifts very crisply, especially in Sport mode, and shows no sign of weakness, as far as I can tell. It is pre-wired for and has the remote head unit for a Valentine one. It has satellite radio (though I have never used that feature - I like the sounds of the engine better, or a CD in the Premium Sound system). It has HID headlamps and LED taillights. It has an alarm, although I pulled th fuse on it because it squawked every time you locked/unlocked the doors, and that annoyed me. I'm not a fan of alarms.
I am only selling this because I am purchasing a V-10 M5. Hate to see it go, but I just can't justify or store so many cars (even though I have tried...).

BMW i8 wins 2015 Car Of The Year award in UK

Sat, Feb 28 2015

Those Brits sure do like those Bimmers, don't they? The BMW i8 plug-in hybrid was recently awarded UK Car of the Year from a group of more than two-dozen British automotive journalists, UK's Telegraph reported. Last year's winner of the first-ever such award? The BMW i3 electric vehicle. The i8 was feted for its combination of performance, styling and fuel efficiency. The car pairs a three-cylinder gas engine with a 96-horsepower electric motor and can go from 0-60 miles per hour in just over four seconds while having a fuel-economy rating of 76 MPGe. Last November, the i8 was given Autoblog's 2014 Technology of the Year award and the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year by Green Car Journal, so the British journalists are not alone in their sleek PHEV love. "This is a truly great honor for BMW's visionary car and proof that sustainable mobility can be beautiful and fun," BMW spokesman Kenn Sparks told AutoblogGreen. Other winners for individual categories from the UK this year included the Rolls-Royce Ghost (which won for Best Luxury Car), Ford Mondeo (Best Family Car) and Renault Twingo (Best City Car). Check out our First Drive impressions of the i8 here. Related Video: Featured Gallery 2015 BMW i8: First Drive View 62 Photos News Source: Telegraph via Hybrid Cars Green BMW Hybrid car of the year

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?

BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition is so cool it's Frozen

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

The 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.
