Chico, California, United States

Here is a rare, fast and desirable Euro 635csi (E24).  Use as a daily driver before it was listed for sale.  For the purpose of California Registration, the car is currently registered as an 1984, but is believed to be a 83.  Motor/Trans: Runs Great, and is very strong! Compression test taken on 7/19/2013 indicated:  #1cyl 185, #2 190, #3 190,#4 185, #5 185, #6 190. Miles are unknown, due to odometer not working. Car has the coveted rare 5 speed "Dog-Leg" racing transmission. AC blows cold, but not efficient as late model cars, compressor is a bit loud.  Car steers strait, appears to have been lowered when I purchased it. Mechanic noted the muffler hanger is broken, and causing rattle. Wheels are 16x8.5 BBS from a BMW 840i. Tires appear to be good for a few more thousands miles. The brakes need service. The indicator light is now on and the brakes are starting to get mushy. Although there is no grinding or noise, they should be checked out.  Body/Interior: Very close for paint! Body is strait, no noted dings, doors latches need a little adjusting, passenger door handle needs adjusting and has to be opened from the inside, trunk lid does not stay up.  Electric: All exterior lights/signals work. Interior lights work, but tachometer is reading incorrectly, Odometer not working, and speedometer seems a tad slow.  All windows go up/down, passenger window gets stuck on the way up and needs a little pull to get it up, does not have a stereo.  This car is from California and clean w/No Rust what so ever! Trunk/floors, rockers, fender wells, shock towers, cross members, frame door hinges are all in excellent condition!  I started removing some molding for paint prep, I have all the moldings, but do not have fog lights, or side-marker lights. The rear is also missing the corner rubber pieces that rap around the 3 piece rubber molding that sits just above the rear bumper.  The interior is in very good shape!  No rips in seats (leatherette front/ original leather rear), needs back speaker boxes, needs carpet patches back on the doors, dash and windshield are cracked. Note: This is a very rare collectors item, and climbing in value!  Major service totaling $1,748:  included compression test, valve adjustment, plugs, gasket rings, rubber seals, oil and filter, and air conditioning service was completed on 7/19/2013. 
Note:  Cash, Cashiers check or PayPal only.   A minimum of $500 due within 24 hours at the close of auction. Balance due within 3 days following auction close.  Thanks

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW integrates EV charging into streetlights, EV Fleet debuts electric pickup

Mon, Nov 10 2014

BMW has unveiled prototypes of LED streetlights that also serve as EV charging stations. "Light and Charge is a simple and innovative solution to naturally integrate a reliable network of charging stations in the city," says BMW's Peter Schwarzenbauer. Connected to the ChargeNow network, they're simple to use, and would be readily available when tied to the lighting infrastructure. The two prototypes are currently in use at BMW World, with a pilot project planned for Munich in 2015. Read more at Green Car Congress, or in the (translated) press release below. The Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) is accusing retailers of price gouging E85 to discourage its use. An RFA study found that retailers in St. Louis were marking up E85 as much as a dollar, roughly twice as much as the markup on regular gasoline. "Sneaky E85 pricing strategies ultimately give oil refiners the opportunity to wrongly claim that consumers are 'rejecting' E85," Says RFA president and CEO Bob Dinneen, "and it gives them an opportunity to claim they can't comply with Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) requirements above the so-called 'blend wall.'"

The vehicle-to-grid-ready Condor has a 1,000-pound payload capacity, and can travel over 100 miles on a single charge. The company plans to build 300 trucks a month when it revs up production next year, with sales targeted toward fleet managers. See the EV Fleet Condor in the video below, read more at Treehugger, or visit EV Fleet's website to learn more. Here's a bold claim. Mutual fund manager Ron Baron says that every home will have a Tesla vehicle in 25 years. The financial guru, well regarded for his predictive stock strategies, is confident about the long-term outlook for the electric carmaker. He feels that Tesla is far ahead of the electric car game compared to other automakers like BMW, whom he believes will end up switching focus from internal combustion to electric powertrains.

2014 BMW Z4 sDrive35is

Tue, 14 May 2013

The BMW Z3/Z4 roadster has never really had a widespread following because it has either been too humble and small a roadster (albeit with some fun and very low-volume M editions) or it has been - in this E89 generation - too casual an image leader with no racier aspirations. The current 480-hp Z4 GTEs don't count, since they are as stock a Z4 as today's Pamela Anderson is the same blonde actress we knew as Heidi on Home Improvement. You know, sort of like those ever-so-slightly modified Toyota Camry coupes competing in NASCAR.
The ultimate highpoint for the BMW Z roadster franchise was at the very start of its life in the mid-90s, in the James Bond film GoldenEye with Pierce Brosnan. The Stinger missiles that Q's team installed behind the Z3's headlights were never fired, and BMW never even offered this self-defense package as an option. Yet another case of the ol' bait and switch.
And in all these subsequent years of Z3s and Z4s strutting their long-hooded stuff, the little sporting Bimmer could really have used a live Stinger missile or two to spice things up. The current Z4 exists, it is pretty dang sexy, and BMW seems content to let it linger there. We just drove the new midlife version of the roadster near BMW headquarters in Munich, and it served to reinforce our feelings.

2014 BMW 4 Series convertible spotted

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

We've seen a few spy shot packages featuring the upcoming BMW 4 Series Convertible already, but never with the car quite so naked as in this latest batch. Nabbed just outside the BMW Nürburgring workshop in Germany, this Melbourne Red 4 Series also shows the M Sport package for the first time.
With all of the cladding removed, we can see that the convertible shares the 4 Series coupe's great-looking nose and front end, though the resolution of that folding hard top into the rear bodywork remains a bit harsh.
With the 4 Series coupe now completely official, we have a pretty good idea of what the powertrain lineup for the 'vert will be. We'll be pretty surprised if a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo aren't the go-to engines at launch. Production of the droptop is likely to begin at the end of the year, so start bugging your local BMW dealer.
