2009 BMW M3 Convertible with 31,729 miles!

My wife decided she wanted a convertible to drive around for the summer so I gave her my log in and password info for the dealer only websites I have access to. She really likes BMW's so I told her the only BMW she could buy would be an M3. After setting a budget, finding this car, and acquiring it we arranged for transport back to our dealership. When the car arrived at our dealership it was running rough and throwing some misfire and camshaft position sensor codes. I purchased a few new coils and flip flopped the cam shaft position sensors. It was still running rough. I pulled the valve cover off and the mechanic I take my late model cars to determined it needs a new drivers side cylinder head. I'm a muscle car dealer and currently have (2) 1969 Camaro's and (1) 1970 Chevelle in my shop right now I'm restoring and I'm the only one here working on them. I don't have the time to fix this car right now, as this is my busy season, so I told her the BMW has to go. . .My wife's (our) loss is your gain!

The exterior of the vehicle has some nicks, gouges, and scratches and isn't perfect.  The interior is in great shape.  The parts I took off in the engine compartment are still off and in the trunk so whoever buys this car doesn't have to take it all off again to get to the cylinder head.

This vehicle was a recovered theft and retains a clear title.  It will be sold AS-IS! No warranty is expressed or implied!

Please call with any questions!

BMW i3 takes to the track, circles it in a way you don't expect

Sun, Jan 5 2014

So, who wants to see a BMW i3 race around a track. That's what we thought. It's not a long video, but it is entertaining, and the way the urban EV does a 'loop' at second 25 certainly caught out eye. The i3 is scheduled to go on sale in the US later this year and will start at $41,350. The diminutive electric vehicle has a top speed of 93 miles per hour and can hit 62 mph in 7.2 seconds. We found it a hoot to drive, but we're not sure if hardcore BMW performance fans will totally 'get' this car's performance. The i3 is great at what it does, but it wasn't born to hit the race track. After seeing this video, though, we want a crack at it, skinny wheels and all. You can get a behind-the-scenes glimpse here, where Chris Neff writes, "The i3 basically turns in on itself. This is one sharp turning radius, take a look at 24 seconds into the video. We were actually trying to get the i3 to do doughnuts, but the computer would not let the rear brake loose, still, you can see how it held and how sharp we were turning....about 27 times in a row." Watch all 49 seconds below. And wonder with us if whatever aerial device was used to get the shot that ends at four seconds in was destroyed just after the video cuts away.

Six luxury-car features I'm ashamed to admit I love

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

A hot compress felt wonderful on my sore back. The methodical kneading of my shoulder blades loosened the knots that formed over several hours of driving. The Swedish-style pulses firing into my lumbar region released more tension.
I wasn't getting a much-needed massage following a recent road trip. I was getting it during the road trip.
I grew up riding in the back seat of a 1976 Chevy Nova. But once you use these lux features, it's easy to go soft.

Next BMW X1 moving to smaller, lighter FWD-biased platform

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

BMW's decision to make the upcoming 2-Series Active Tourer front-wheel drive has been polarizing to say the least, but like it or not, that is the direction the company will go in the near future - one rumor put the number as high as 23 front-wheel-drive models for Mini and BMW combined. The next-generation X1 won't send all its power to the front wheels, though, when it launches in early 2016. While it will use the same platform as the Active Tourer, rumors suggest all models will use all-wheel drive - at least at launch.
A "high-ranking," unnamed BMW manager confirmed to AutoWeek that the new model will switch to transversely-mounted three- and four-cylinder engines and the same six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions as the Active Tourer. The new, smaller platform will allow for more efficient packaging, and despite the smaller size, interior space will remain comparable. All the changes should make it significantly lighter too.
Don't start wailing just yet because BMW surely won't be entirely abandoning sporty models. AutoWeek claims that the Bavarians are working on a higher-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with power closer to 300 horsepower, about a 72-hp boost. It's also rumored to offer a sporty version of the X1 that may be called the X2.
