This car drives and runs great. It is a 5-Speed manual transmission with cruise control. I just had the oil changed so you don't have to.  The paint is original and in good condition with a few minor scratches. There is a minor dent with small scratches to the front left bumper- shown in pictures. The interior of the car is in great condition considering its age. I just put new M3 mats in the car as well. The leather seats have minor wear from use. The gas gauge doesn't work but can be easily replaced- I just use the trip odometer for knowing when to fill. The car has a sunroof but it has been disabled, and the computer control buttons that control the time and date don't work but the computer itself does. I am not the original owner of the car- I owned the last 6 months and am buying a newer BMW.  I bought this car from a neighbor that I have known for many years and who owned the car for many years. The car has had a CD player/ GPS installed as well as a sub-woofer in the trunk.  A pretty sweet system that looks impressive with a large fold out screen. There is no FM radio- not sure about how to get that working? The car has professionally tinted windows, performance air intake.  The headlights were replaced with LED headlights a few months ago.

This is a very desirable model and body style.  They are rare, hot and looked at by everyone. I recently replaced the master clutch cylinder and the slave cylinder.

Please do not bid on this car unless you plan to buy it.  If you would like to view it prior to the auction end we are happy to let you view the car and see it.  Its a great car we just don't want a buyer that comes "shopping".  It is everything we show in the pictures.  Its a 1997 and we are not saying its brand new with all working.  Please email or call with any questions before the auction ends.  We have told you everything we know about what is wrong.  The car runs very strong and is very fast.  If you have been looking for this car you will like it.  The car is sold AS IS.

BMW i8 will be first production car to use Gorilla Glass

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

What do smartphones and the BMW i8 have in common? Glass. Scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass, that is. The i8 will be the first production car to use the chemically hardened material, which is more durable, lighter and provides more sound deadening than conventional laminated automotive glass. We thought it would be a natural replacement for windshields, but, according to Autoweek, BMW said it will be used for the rear window for sound deadening purposes. The Gorilla Glass will still be laminated, with two 0.7mm thick layers of it sandwiching an acoustic sheet, reports Autoevolution.
BMW reportedly claims the i8 will weigh less than 3,285 pounds, and to offset the heavy hybrid powertrain to reach that goal the automaker has implemented lightweight materials normally not found in mass-production automobiles. With a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) monocoque used for both the (relatively) pedestrian i3 and the upscale i8, it's not surprising BMW was also the first to jump onto Gorilla Glass, especially given the timing of a report that a high-end automaker would introduce it within the year.
Be sure to check out our First Drive review of the i8 to see if BMW's newest sports car is living up to the hype.

Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric equate BMW i3 with the Internet

Mon, Jan 26 2015

BMW fancies its new i3 electric car as something revolutionary – which, to be entirely honest, it is. But while we as automotive enthusiasts might know this, the general populous may not, which is why the German company is shelling out what is no doubt a substantial sum of money for a spot during this year's Super Bowl. Starring former Today Show hosts Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel, the spot, called Newfangled Idea, focuses on another arguably misunderstood technology – the Internet. Starting with a now-humorous segment from 1994 that sees the pair discussing the then-new idea of the Internet – what does "@" mean? – Katie and Bryant then find themselves in an i3, asking very similar questions. Take a look at the video, up top, and then scroll below for the outtakes and a short behind-the-scenes segment from the clip. Related Video:
