Here it is folks. This is the one you've been waiting for. I have put over $8000 in this car in the past 19 months bringing it up to snuff. The previous owner didn't do anything to it (I was unaware of that) so I spent a lot of time and money getting it all done right. The car is midnight blue with gray leather. It has the 19" wheel package and is an SMG car. It is simply gorgeous.

This car came to me from Tennessee. Since I have owned it in Illinois this has been a SUMMER ONLY car for me. It is stored in my heated garage from October until April-May (depending on weather).

You might think that the mileage is high on this car and I would likely be inclined to agree with you. However, what you have to know is that you can buy one with less than 100k miles for more money and you will end up putting $8-9K in it. Most of these have a lot of deferred maintenance because anything that has an "M" in front of it is double the price for parts and labor.

EVERYTHING has been done on this car. Purchase price plus all the work I am in this car probably around $21,000. My loss is your gain. The ONLY reason I am selling this car is because I got a divorce, bought a house, and just got laid off so I need the money. However, I don't need it bad enough to let this car go for a dirt cheap low-ball price. 

My reserve is VERY low given the condition of this car and the work that has been done.

If you don't know what an M3 is, what SMG means, etc., you shouldn't be bidding on this car. Period.

Work completed on the car:
  • Brand new Kenwood DNX890HD eXcelon head unit with NAV, Satellite Radio, Bluetooth, etc.
  • Completely amazing custom audio system. Very well done by ABT.
  • New clutch
  • New rear springs
  • New front control arms
  • New HID headlights (the previous owner ruined them by putting "angel eyes" in them. They were damaged beyond repair)
  • Complete Inspection I and Inspection II services done
  • Oil changed every 3,000 miles
  • New tires all the way around
  • Alignment
  • Vanos repair
  • Valves adjusted and new gaskets
  • And much more (I don't have the receipts in front of me)

My loss is your gain.

I have receipts for ALL work done, both keys plus a valet key. If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

Thanks for looking!

This BMW 2 Series ad has run afoul of Aussie ad watchdogs [w/poll]

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

A complaint by an Australian movie-goer has put the brakes on an extended in-theater ad campaign by BMW, and drawn the attention of the country's Advertising Standards Board. According to the anonymous complaint, the ad "portrays an unfavorable message, contrary to safe and sensible driving."
The ASB upheld the complaint, which said the ad for the new M235i showed driving "typical of hoon activity," thanks to the burnouts, dusty drifts and runs up to redline. It's that last one that seems to have gotten the spot in the most trouble, with the ASB acknowledging that even though the car wasn't shown breaking the speed limit, the ad was in violation of a voluntary code of conduct for automotive advertising, according to Australia's Go Auto.
BMW doesn't seem to agree, pointing out that the ad uses creative editing, aggressive camera angles and other filming tricks to "add visual impact."

BMW X5 eDrive Concept is utilitarian plug-in hybrid

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Bridging the gap between internal combustion engine-powered vehicles and electric vehicles are plug-in hybrids, and BMW has made one out of its biggest sports utility vehicle, even if it's just a concept car at this point. The plug-in hybrid X5 eDrive Concept debuted today at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and it sits attached to a charge port on the show floor.
As we reported in August, the X5 eDrive Concept combines a turbocharged four-cylinder engine of unknown output with a 95-horsepower electric motor, to achieve longer range and lower emissions. The X5 eDrive can drive up to 75 miles per hour and 19 miles on electric power alone, manage about 62 miles per gallon (3.8 liters per 100 kilometers) and accelerate from 0-62 mph in under seven seconds, according to BMW.
Three drive modes are offered: one that automatically operates the hybrid system, an all-electric mode and a Save Battery mode that operates the vehicle using the engine only.

Check out 90 years of BMW Motorrad in 90 seconds

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

After ninety years in business and first-to-market motorcycle innovations like the one-piece 'tunnel' crankcase, hydraulically dampened front forks and full fairings, as well as that trademark boxer engine, BMW Motorrad is celebrating its nonagenarian status with a video: You can follow the ride on BMW motorcycles from 1923 to now in just 90 seconds.
Okay, so there's more than a video - some anniversary-themed bikes and a new retro boxer model celebrating the R 32 "airhead' from 1923 also commemorate the occasion. But you can start with the video, and that's below.
