THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this 1973 CSi is in good to very good 99% rust-free condition overall with excellent shock towers
front and rear and fairly solid underside with some beginning of rust areas on the floor sections. The paint has a
very nice lustrous shine with what looks to be original chrome and trim. It is missing one of the rear under-bumper
pieces and rear badging with other imperfections on the body of this car that include a few isolated corrosion
spots, touched up nicks and other minor blemishes. Inside the rear boot, the tool kit and the elephant skin side
inserts are missing though the original spare tire, jack, rigid cover panels and carpet are in place.
THE INTERIOR
The interior of this E9 coupe is in good overall condition with all working lighted gauges [except the odometer],
good heat with working blower motor, near flawless vinyl dashboard, nicely reupholstered seats front and rear, nice
door panels, original headliner and working manual crank sunroof, cool period-correct stereo and manual front
windows. Imperfections inside this classic cockpit include [but not limited to] deterioration and cracking of the
wood trim at the corners of doors and dash, one rear window inop, light cracking on the original "bus" steering
wheel, worn carpet pieces with one missing section, tattered bottom of the door upholstery bottom. Overall this is
one still very handsome cockpit that needs little to be perfect again!
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This old coupe starts easily, runs fairly well [there is still an occasional sputtering which I am told is due to a
worn TPS unit], drives quite well with light and responsive steering and nice tracking down the road. The
suspension is supple and quiet, the braking is strong and true, the transmission shifts beautifully [recommend new
shifter bushings for an even crisper feel]. With its open cockpit and smooth inline six cylinder engine, piloting
this beautiful coupe on the open road is truly a blissful and attention getting driving experience.

Dinan S3-R BMW 1M Coupe
Wed, 02 Apr 2014I nearly shed tears a few years ago upon learning that BMW was only planning to produce a very limited quantity of its then-new 2011 1 Series M Coupe. In simplest terms, the two-door was a 1 Series fitted with a modified version of the automaker's twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, and the running gear (gearbox, driveshaft, axles) from contemporary M3 models. It was also a return to form for the brand. Aggressively short and stubby in stature but packing telltale flared wheel arches that hinted at its potential, the four-seater was a spiritual successor to the original (and much loved) E30 M3 from decades earlier.
After spending a day with the original high-performance 1 at New York's Monticello Motor Club, I declared, "The little coupe with the big flares is old-school retro cool and deliciously fun to drive ... the new BMW 1 Series M Coupe doesn't target boy-racers, it targets enthusiasts." Yet sadly - and despite strong demand - BMW limited the model's production to just one year. All told, only 740 units made it to the States, and each was gobbled up at a starting price of $46,135, a price tag history will show to be a bargain.
Since I had little hope of even driving one again, I deliberately pushed all memories of BMW's 1 Series M Coupe from my mind - until my phone rang recently. On the other end was a representative from Dinan Engineering who wanted to know if I would be interested in driving the company's new S3-R BMW 1M. A quick Google search revealed it to be a heavily modified version of the discontinued 1 Series M Coupe. As if they needed an answer...
BMW brings burlesque, Warhol, M1 and 6 Series Grand Coupe to Paris Photo LA
Mon, 22 Apr 2013BMW has worked with Paris Photo for ten years. This year, the photography exposition lands in Paramount Studios in Los Angeles for the first time, and BMW is not only coming with it, the Bavarians are bringing the Art Car that started it all: the 1979 M1 painted by Andy Warhol. For those attending the show, there will also be making-of video of Warhol working on the car - but if you remember the mini lecture that EVO magazine's Henry Catchpole gave on the Art Cars, you'll remember that Warhol finished the car so quickly that the cameraman barely had time to get the film rolling.
With that will also be a series of photos of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe dropped into noir scenes accompanied by burlesque models, all taken by photographer Uwe Düttmann. It's the first time they'll be exhibited at Paris Photo. You can check out a few of them in the high-res gallery above, and there's a press release below with more info.
2014 BMW 328d ready to burn oil in just four cylinders
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Despite showing off the new 328d sedan in New Jersey yesterday, BMW though it only fair to bring the first four-cylinder diesel it will ever sell in the US to the New York Auto Show today as well. Unfortunately, the company remains vague about pertinent details like fuel economy and price, but we did hear again that the oil-burner will be capable of getting 45 miles per gallon on the highway. BMW's Oliver Ganser told AutoblogGreen, "We do not want to give out" the city or combined mpg ratings quite yet, but The New York Times got someone to estimate a fuel economy of mid-30s in the city.
The two-liter TwinPower turbocharged and direct injected engine and eight-speed automatic transmission (sorry, no manual will be available) put out 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque and should get the 328d up to 60 miles per hour in just over seven seconds. As we noted earlier, the 328d will be available with every option and trim level - like all-wheel drive - that other 3 Series models have in the US (transmission excepted) and should start at under $40,000 when it goes on sale this fall.
Officially, the 328b will be able to accept biodiesel blends up to B5 (or, just maybe B7), which is standard diesel with five (seven) percent biofuel. Read more about that and other aspects of the 328d here.
