Story behind the car:

 

I have owned this car since December 23 2001.  I have owned several cars while owning this car as well, it has always been a low mileage second vehicle for me.  It has been garaged and only driven once per month (at most) since 2008 while I attended college in Denver.  I need to buy a new car to accommodate a family, and I rarely drive the car even now after college.  I hope to find an owner who will take good care of it and really enjoy the car as I have.

 

Pertinent information any buyer would want to know:

 

Gebhardt BMW in Boulder entered an odometer reading of 40,000 miles when I took the cylinder head in to have the cams removed (requires BMW special tool) for the valve job at 109,000 miles.  I have no idea why they entered this value.  Simply calling them several years later when I found out it was on Carfax did not fix the problem.

 

Vehicle was repainted in 2002 due to spinning out on ice and going through a chain link fence.  Scratches to paint and windshield were only damage.  Insurance claim paid for repair at a local body shop.

 

Right fender replaced and repainted due to a truck backing into me in the Target parking lot.

 

Wearing or worn items:

 

Driver door glass has a chip on the edge

Driver seat slightly discolored/faded by left side bolster

Left front strut leaking, all others fine

Trip computer display has some inoperative pixels

Oil leak at oil dipstick tube where it meets oilpan

Seepage from valve cover gasket

Between the two leaks the car uses 1/2 quart every oil change (3000 miles)

Normal wear and tear

 

Buyer responsible for shipping and/or pickup.

2015 BMW M3 squares off against Alpina D3 in gas vs. diesel throwdown

Sat, 26 Jul 2014

There was a time when diesel meant one of two things: This vehicle's owner either wants to save some money at the pump or needs to haul massive loads. It definitely did not mean that the owner of said machine wanted to drive fast, but that perception has slowly but surely been changing over the last several years, with automakers from Volkswagen and Ford to Audi and BMW offering spiced-up versions of their high-compression, turbocharged diesels.
It's that last automaker we mentioned that's the subject of the video you'll see down below. One bright-blue BMW M3 was procured by the Brits at Autocar, and it was lined up against a deep-black Alpina D3 (which we sadly can't buy in the US) in a spate of tests, including acceleration, stopping, sound and lap times on a closed circuit. The results, which we won't spoil for you, were enlightening, and were followed up by personal impressions from the man behind the wheel.
We know you're curious. All it takes to find out which of these 3.0-liter, twin-turbo-powered 3 Series variants came out on top is to scroll down below and watch. You know what to do.

2016 BMW X1 First Drive [w/video]

Tue, Oct 13 2015

Perhaps more than any other model, the X1 exemplifies the shift going on at BMW. That the X1 is the first front-drive-based car to wear the BMW badge in the US is both remarkable and doesn't matter at all. Some background: The first X1, sold here for the latter half of its six-year run, was an Old BMW. Based on E90 3 Series underpinnings, it was basically a tall, last-gen 3 wagon, a car on short stilts. We loved it. It drove almost exactly like a good 3 Series at a time when that 3 Series was no longer available. It sold in okay numbers. It's gone now. This new X1, the 2016 model, is a sort of about face, or at least a right-hand turn in the engine compartment. This is New BMW. The base engine is again a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a new design based on the company's modular engine architecture that can spit out threes, fours, and sixes using the same component set. It's mounted transversely, not longitudinally like in the rest of BMW's US offerings. It loses some horsepower to the last X1's 2.0 (228 hp versus 240) and a bit of torque (258 lb-ft down from 260). Again, few will notice. The optional 3.0-liter turbocharged six from the last generation is gone. Not many customers chose it, and the six likely wouldn't fit under the hood of this rearranged X1. EPA fuel-economy numbers match those from the 2015 xDrive28i exactly – 22 mpg city, 32 highway – so no gains there. So packaging won. There's really no other explanation for the longitudinal-transverse swap, except that maybe it's less expensive to build this way. EPA fuel-economy numbers match those from the 2015 xDrive28i exactly – 22 mpg city, 32 highway – so no gains there. But the packaging advantages are abundant. The interior is somewhat narrow, but it's opened up a bit by the lack of a transmission tunnel that would normally eat space between the front occupants. Instead, the center console is set low, with a tall shift lever rising practically from the floor up to meet your hand. There's storage forward of the shifter and a folding center armrest that opens for small items. The original X1 was sold here with rear-wheel as well as all-wheel drive. For obvious reasons, that won't be the case this time around. BMW also won't sell a front-drive model here (although one is offered in Europe and elsewhere) likely because it would involve the admission that this is not your average BMW, but instead a New BMW, one designed for more people and fewer enthusiasts.
