This is a magnificent 1997 BMW 528i with manual transmission. This car has all the options available, along with 15" lightweight BBS polished wheels, painted body mouldings, and a rear trunk spoiler. Has upgraded new headlights (old ones got dull, they come with the car as well), upgraded "angel eye" in the headlights along with HID's. The vehicle has all the maintenance upto date, including a recently replaced steering rack, fuel pump, water pump, and a complete flush and overhauld of the cooling system. New ignition coils, new spark plugs, new fuel filter, K&N air filter, oil changed every 3000 miles. The vehicle has approximately 185,000 miles on it. Paint still shines like new!! Everything works!

WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!

The car was parked outside my garage (kids were playing table tennis), when the garbage truck rolled around to collect the weekly garbage, and decided to leave a little gift on the side. We weren't even aware until the driver knocked on our door to inform us. The damage seems only cosmetic, but I am not a body shop, so I dont konw. What I do know is that the front headlight is scratched, the right front fender is completely gone, the front & rear bumper is broken, the right front & rear passenger doors dont open, and the windows dont roll down (they seem to slightly roll down, but stop when the regulator hits the dented shell).

WHY SELL IT??

I was quoted $700 by the body shop to replace & paint the door shells, front & rear bumpers, the front fender, and buff out the scratches on the rear fender. I am selling because I dont have time or patience to get all this done, even though this is my daily driver, and runs & drives in it's current condition, instead, I will opt for something with a V-8. This would be an excellent car for someone to put a little TLC into. Please remember that this car is sold as used, so do not expect a perfect car.

Please note, the first few pictures show the vehicle before the wreck, with the M5 wheels and the newer tail lights which are NOT included with this car, I am selling those separately if interested. The vehicle will come with the BBS wheels shown in the later pictures, and the original tail lights from 1997. THE LAST 6 PICTURES SHOW THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE.

Feel free to ask any questions, good luck & happy bidding!

BMW R1200 GS Adventure is made for epic roadtrips

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

BMW Motorrad has taken the wraps off of its newest GS Adventure model. Based on the R1200 GS, the Adventure trim makes an already tough bike just a bit tougher, thanks to a number of technical changes that improve off-road capabilities without sacrificing any of the R1200 GS' riding manners.
The most noticeable change might be the larger fuel tank, up in size from 5.3 gallons to 7.9 gallons, although this largely due to the Adventure's lower fuel economy - it loses about three miles per gallon to the regular R1200 GS. BMW claims that the larger tank won't inhibit riding comfort, thanks to its narrow design and placement in the bike's frame. The spring travel is 0.8 inches longer, while there's nearly half an inch of extra ground clearance, which is largely responsible for its improve off-road talents. A new, larger seat promises a more comfortable ride and a greater range of adjustability, while a few tweaks within the engine offer an even smoother delivery of the bike's 125 horsepower and 92 pound-feet of torque.
We have a full gallery of images of the R1200 GS Adventure available up top, along with the entire press release from BMW, which can be found by scrolling down.

2015 BMW M3 Sedan, M4 Coupe are officially revealed [w/video]

Wed, 11 Dec 2013



The new 3.0-liter inline-six makes 425 turbocharged horsepower from 5500 rpm all the way up to 7300 rpm.
BMW has announced the 2015 M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe, high-performance versions of the new 3 Series and 4 Series that launched this year. The new Ms have stirred controversy in a variety of ways, but one must remember that the M cars traditionally don't follow a specific mold.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
