This car is a collector's BMW. The first owner being a businessman, the second owner a BMW collector, and me being a BMW enthusiast. Maintained perfectly, except for the rust in all the doors, and both front fenders. Engine has 153k miles, but on a recent dyno, shows it as having 181 hp, 5 less than stock, which is awesome for a 27 year old car. The interior is perfect, as the front seat were swapped by the previous owner. No tearing, and the 2-tone cardinal red and black looks great with the white car. Dash has a one-inch crack near the windsheild, which is unnoticeable. Tire tread is at about 50%, and it comes with a fifth borbet wheel as a spare under the trunk. Sound system has the stock 4 surround sound, and all speakers function, including tweeters, and it has an aftermarket radio with audio input. AC has a slow leak, and I can include a recharge with the car, but it will likely only last the summer, unless the leak is fixed. Both front seats are electric powered, but the passenger seat won't go forward or backward, needs to be taken apart, probably a jam or switch. The suspension makes some knocking noises, and I haven't been able to find the source, but since its all stock, it could use new rubber shock mounts. Computer system works, and it does not flash any check-engine lights. The car has a fuel issue about once a month, where it won't start for a minute or two, and you have to keep cranking the engine.After replacing the distributor rotor, and sparkplugs, and testing the fuel relay, I've determined the problem to be something in the fuel line, probably the filter. Engine oil and transmission fluid was changed last month, and new battery installed about 2 months ago. Car drives great, and feels great too. Like I said, the only real issue is the rust in the doors, which is why I'm putting a low reserve on this car. I would put the effort into fixing this car myself, because I was planning a future turbo setup with an m106 manifold, but I with school and work, I don't have the time to put into this car. So my loss is your gain. Email me for more pictures or info. I would prefer local pickup, or if you're in the state, we can meet halfway. No returns or refunds.

However, I would recommend a new driveshaft in the near future, as the current driveshaft "flutters" under hard acceleration in second gear. Has no effect on daily driving.

BMW Shanghai: Driving in mega cities, designing the future and more
Thu, 25 Apr 2013
The BMW enclave is a suitable mix of high-tech and throwback cool.
A few days before the Shanghai Motor Show kicked off, we were part of an international group of media that was invited to have a look at the BMW Designworks Shanghai Studio and ConnectedDrive Lab facility. The building that BMW found to house its Chinese think tank is in a lovely part of Shanghai known as the former French Concession. The late 1890s and early 1900s French architectural style, brick-paved streets and tree-lined spaces feel a world apart from the ultra-modern heart of Shanghai, and the BMW enclave is a suitable mix of high-tech and throwback cool.
BMW planning smaller Z2 roadster
Sat, 10 May 2014It's been a few years since we heard about the BMW Z2, a compact, two-seat convertible that would slot in below the aging Z4 (shown above). Now, though, the crew at Car and Driver are back with details on the oft-rumored roadster.
The big shock for enthusiasts on this one is C/D's report that the Z2 will spin its front wheels, rather than its rears. A front-drive roadster is strange enough, but a front-drive BMW roadster? It's apparently true, though, as the new model would share its platform with the front-drive Mini and 2 Series Active Tourer rather than with the racier 228i or M235i coupes.
According to C/D, the rumored Z2 could be powered by a range of three- and four-cylinder, turbocharged engines, although it's more likely to be a four-only affair. Power should range from 160 to 230 ponies, while an M variant could arrive with 300 horsepower (that's a whole lot of power for front-wheel drive...).
BMW patents strange three-cylinder pushrod engines, perhaps for cruiser motorcycle
Thu, Mar 12 2015For decades BMW's motorcycles were easily identified by the two opposed cylinders sticking out of each side of the bike. While you can still find this layout on some of its products, these days the company also uses a variety of other layouts, depending on the model line. Based on European patents, there might even be a Bimmer in the ranks eventually with an absolutely bizarre-looking W3 configuration. BMW actually has two separate patents on these W3 designs, and both of them have the goal of cramming three cylinders into the space of a traditional V-twin. The first splays the cylinder out into a fan shape with pushrods operating the valves. The description submitted to the World Intellectual Property Organization describes the solution as, "The embodiment according to the invention represents an as of yet unknown type of W-3 reciprocating piston internal combustion engine having cylinder angles which can be largely freely sized." The other solution is more of a modification to the traditional V-twin. Two of the cylinders share a crankpin, but the third has its own and is positioned inside the angle of the V. It's a very odd-looking engine. With BMW's assertion that these designs are meant to fit in place of a traditional V-twin, Jalopnik speculates that they could be for a future cruiser from the company, and that would make sense. While brand offers a line of sport tourers with the K1600 line, it doesn't have something more classic to take on the likes of the Ducati Diavel. Creating such a weird engine would probably grab early interest from riders.
