   1991 BMW M5 always a CA car. Dinan conversion was done at Dinan with approx 33k on the clock. Please I know selling a budget BMW especially a special model brings out the bargain hunters and I understand everyone wanting a deal. What I ask is you do some shopping and have a clear understanding of what these cars sell for and what their issues are. People see someone buying a car on the internet for $8k showing pics from 15' away with no regard to how it actually functions and WAM! we have the 100 replies that this is a screaming deal and all others should be priced accordingly.

  Dinan stroker engine, suspension and brakes. 

  I am a long time car collector who bought this car when I moved to CA to have some fun. It is the most fun you will have at this price point bar none. It has top surface SOCAL fade and clear coat peeling (looks better in pics then it is). Otherwise it is a clean straight car. From 10ft it is fine. Interior is just about flawless for it's age except drivers door panel minor trim separation. Radio alarm went off and will not reset. I have factory code card and I can't get it to stop. Everything else works. Remember this is a sub $15k car that is 25 years old so be realistic. If you have a clean ashtray obsession ask as otherwise I do not think to look at these things. I get in, warm it up and drive it smiling ear to ear.

  You can buy the $8k stock car and realize it's performance shortcomings and dump $5k into just getting the maintenance work done. You can buy the dolled up $20k car that has minor scratches here and there hidden by over buffed panels and clever photography. Of course the $25k low mile car look like a good buy until you realize it needs just as much work as the cheap one.

 What I am offering is a nicely sorted M5 with an asking price that just about covers the maintenance performed in the last 10k miles. This car is used EVERY day and does everything it is supposed to no shakes, stumbles, etc. It is a muscle car that you can drive the kids to school in with the A/C on. PPI's are fine as long as the mechanic respects the car and my wishes and understand it isn't a new car. 

  CA buyers I have to obtain a front license plate as it was never given to me when I bought the car and being new to CA didn't realize it was missing. SMOG??? It has always been a CA car and has always passed as is. That said it is a modified car that appears to have all the smog stuff on the car including pump (yes pump is noisy for first couple min common issue and works fine) and stock exhaust. Dinan muffler was removed as per F Fahey. I would rather sell out of state where someone can put in 93 octane and swap out the cats. I hate SMOG and do not want to get involved with it. That said it is currently smogged and registered.

  Can you drive it home??? YES! If it breaks down I will pay up to $800 towards towing or repair with proof. It will make it no problem. I will also throw in a $300 car cover and radar detector with Buy It Now. 

  I am not interested in hearing about your cars or having the forum self proclaimed master debate me on my car. I am honest seller (look at my rating) who simply wants nice easy transaction. I will gladly assist serious buyers in anyway I can. This is not a stock M5 it is a race car with 4drs. There are faster cars but this thing is more fun then you could imagine making all the noises and tickling the senses that would require another $100k investment to replicate.

CAR MUST BE PAID FOR AND PICKED UP BY 4/1/2014.

BMW i3 called 'most revolutionary car' since Ford Model T

Sat, Jan 17 2015

The Ultimate Driving Machine, or at least one of them, may also be the Ultimate Engineering Success. Consultant Munro & Associates, which specializes in automotive tear-down analysis, pretty much said as much when taking an under-the-skin look at the BMW i3 plug-in. In short, the firm liked what it saw. Presenting at Detroit's Plastic's in Automotive conference this week, Munro CEO Sandy Munro called BMW's first mast-produced plug-in model the most revolutionary car "since Henry Ford's Model T." The car earned big points for its substantial uses of materials that are both lightweight (key for any plug-in's range) and recyclable. BMW has touted these advantages all along. In late 2013, the German automaker went as far as saying its use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) would reduce customer costs related to both repair and insurance. The i3 went on sale in the US last May and, by the end of the year, moved more than 6,000 units here. It sold almost 17,800 The i3 last November also was named the Green Car of the Year at the Los Angeles Auto Show, beating out models such as the compressed-natural-gas-powered Chevrolet Impala B-Fuel and the Audi A3 TDI diesel. Munro made news earlier this week when it offered a free i3 for anyone who bought the master- or OEM-level version of the report, though the report isn't cheap and that offered disappeared once Munro made his presentation. Check out Munro & Associates' press release below. Munro Discusses Groundbreaking Technology Finds from BMW i3 Teardown at Plastics in Automotive Conference; Offers New BMW i3 for Purchasers of Master-level Report DETROIT, Jan. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- During today's Plastics in Automotive Conference in Detroit, Sandy Munro, CEO of Munro & Associates, Inc., discussed – for the first time publicly – his consulting firm's findings from its extensive deep-dive teardown, costing and benchmark study of the BMW i3 urban electric car. During his presentation, "Deconstructing the BMW i3: Groundbreaking Technology and the Composite Car," Munro discussed the carbon fiber life module, polymer components, recyclability and safety of what he considers to be "the most revolutionary car in terms of creative engineering and manufacturing since Henry Ford's Model T." During the presentation, Munro focused on four crucial aspects of the BMW i3: the manufacturing of its carbon fiber life module; its polymer components; recyclability; and safety.

2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance: It's all in the details

Mon, Aug 22 2016

It's no secret that Pebble Beach is an ode to gorgeous, and mostly, classic cars. The car show may be a place for automakers to showcase extremely expensive cars to wealthy buyers, but it's also one of the go-to places for enthusiasts that love automobiles and culture. While it's easy to be overwhelmed by the overall beauty of a car, the real magic often needs closer inspection to be realized. Every car at Pebble Beach is a work of art, but the true beauty of the vehicles lies in the details. And Autoblog's photographer, Drew Phillips, managed to capture the details on some gorgeous cars. From the Lamborghini Miura's exquisite steering wheel to Rolls-Royce's Spirit of Ecstasy, it's all at Pebble Beach. We think the details on some of the cars are prettier than the cars themselves, but don't take our word for it. Check out the beautiful gallery above and enjoy the tiny bits and pieces behind some of the prettiest cars in the world.

BMW to announce location of new plant in Mexico in July

Tue, 20 May 2014

Volkswagen manufactures in Mexico. Soon Audi will as well, and Mercedes-Benz is said to be working on a deal to assemble some of its cars at a Nissan plant in Mexico too. That leaves BMW out of the mix of German automakers building cars South of the Border, but that may soon be rectified, as well.
According to Automotive News, the Bavarian automaker is preparing to announce the site of its first Mexican assembly plant as soon as July, now just two months away. BMW already builds cars for North American consumption at its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, but has reportedly been keen to capitalize on cheaper labor and the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement to supply vehicles to the United States and Canada especially.
When BMW does announce the site of the plant - reportedly narrowed down to either Hidalgo or San Luis Potosi - it is tipped to work its way up to 100,000 vehicles per year at the new location, potentially to include the 3 Series as well as smaller, front-drive models, including Minis.
