This vehicle is currently located in Atlanta, GA. I am a used car dealer. I basically purchased this vehicle as a toy. I was going to use it as a track car. When I purchased the vehicle, it did not run and drive. The engine was locked. The cause seemed to be a blown head gasket. No coolant in radiator, all the coolant was in the block when we drained the oil. I had a perfect engine & gearbox out of another M5 that was wrecked badly and not worth repairing. That engine went into this car. The donor cars mileage at the time of the swap was 86,348 and the donor car was a 2002 M5. If you want the VIN to verify or pics of the donor car, just let me know.

This vehicle that I am selling ONLY comes with a Florida Certificate of Destruction. Please don't ask me why, where, how to get a title for it, etc. The answer will be I do not know. If you are the high bidder, its your responsibility to know the rules and regulations of your home state or country as well as what you can and can't do with the car once you acquire it. Included with the sale of the car will be the Florida Certificate of Destruction and a bill of sale from me. That is all.

The bad:The car was involved in an accident in its past life. It was repaired fairly, but not perfectly. The front bumper is not original, fog lights are missing. PDC sensors are not connected. Plastic panels under & around the front end were not replaced. Paint work is fair, some imperfections, but for the most part you have to be looking for them or know what you're looking for. Dent below drivers side tail light. Drivers door window regulator is not working. Aftermarket wheels, painted calipers. Star in windshield.

The good:Newer, lower mileage engine and gearbox. Fresh oil change with Liqui Moly 10w60. Some brittle vacuum hoses were replaced while the new engine was being installed. Power steering hose replaced. Car runs, drives great. No check engine light on. Brand new front rotors and pads (less than 300 miles). Interior is in very good condition. No major interior issues, no major rips, tears, odors, stains, etc. Aftermarket wheels have good tires.

Please ask as many questions as possible. I have perfect feedback and want to keep it that way. I tried to give you an honest description. If you have any other questions, just let me know. High bidder is buying the car as-is. No warranties or guarantees.

BMW builds its 2 millionth 1 Series on eve of new model's launch

Fri, Mar 6 2015

Hard as it may be to believe, it's been over ten years since BMW launched the first 1 Series, taking the Bavarian automaker into more accessible territory for the first time. Later this month, the first examples of the new model will arrive at dealers, but before it does, the littlest BMW has another reason to celebrate as the 2 millionth unit has rolled off the line. The landmark example is a 120i five-door equipped with the M Sport package and painted in Estoril Blue, bound for a customer in Japan. The achievement is even more noteworthy when you consider that what started out as the 1 Series has since been split into two lines. The three- and five-door hatchbacks remain part of the 1 Series, while the coupe and convertible we get in the US that were once part of the 1 Series as well have since been spun off as the separate 2 Series. Production of the three-door takes place exclusively at BMW's plant in Regensburg, while the five-door is split between Regensburg and a second plant in Leipzig. Buyers are further able to specify between diesel and gasoline engines ranging from three cylinders all the way up to six.

Fans of compact driving pleasure can look forward to an even more striking design, a further refined premium ambiance for the interior, engines that are extremely powerful and even more efficient, and innovative equipment features. Ahead of the launch, news filtered through from BMW Plant Regensburg of another reason to smile as the two-millionth BMW 1 Series rolled off the production line. The landmark car was built just a few days after the start of production for the new version of the compact model and is one of the first examples of the new BMW 1 Series range earmarked for export to Asia. The BMW 120i 5-door, painted in Estoril Blue metallic and equipped with an M Sport package, will be delivered to a customer in Japan. This production landmark at BMW Plant Regensburg represents another milestone in the international success story of the BMW 1 Series. In late summer 2014 the company celebrated the model series' tenth birthday.

BMW and Samsung enter expanded battery agreement [w/video]

Fri, Jul 18 2014

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. In this case, the goose is BMW and the gander is Samsung. And their five-year plan has worked out well. The German automaker this week expanded its current agreement with the South Korean battery-making giant. BMW and Samsung SDI reached a memorandum of understanding for Samsung to keep making batteries for BMW's growing stable of i3 battery-electric and i8 plug-in hybrids as well as yet-to-be revealed hybrid models. No dollar amount or new time frame was revealed, but with BMW already moving about 5,400 i3 vehicles during the first six months of the year, there should be a substantial amount of funds changing hands. BMW started working with Samsung in 2009 when it began buying batteries for its Megacity electric vehicle from SB LiMotive, a 50-50 joint-venture between Samsung SDI and Bosch. Things have been looking up for Samsung since last August, when Tesla Motors decided to diversify its battery supply chain by branching out beyond Panasonic and buying some of its lithium-ion batteries from Samsung. Feel free to check out the Samsung-Bimmer press release, along with a video report, below. BMW Group and Samsung SDI expand partnership BMW Group and Samsung SDI expand partnership: Signing of a memorandum of understanding for delivery of further battery cells in signing of MoU for delivery of further battery cells Seoul. The BMW Group and Samsung SDI plan to expand their supply relationship for battery cells for electro-mobility. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to this effect today in Seoul. Samsung SDI will supply the BMW Group with battery cells for the BMW i3, BMW i8 and additional hybrid models over the coming years. The most important elements of the agreement are the increase in quantities delivered over the medium term, in response to growing demand for electro-mobility, and further technological development of battery cells. Dr. Klaus Draeger, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for Purchasing and Supplier Network: "Our partnership with Samsung SDI is a good example of successful Korean-German cooperation on innovative technologies. The battery is a key component in every electric vehicle – since it basically determines the range and performance capabilities of the car.

BMW i3 misses top Euro safety rating [w/videos]

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

The Euro NCAP just tested a recent batch of new cars including the 2014 BMW i3, and the EV Bimmer scored less-than-perfect results. Though not horrible, BMW's all-electric/range-extended i3 was given a four-star (out of five possible) crash rating due to concerns with front-occupant whiplash and side-impact protection.
Based on the crash results, the BMW provided suitable protection for occupants in the frontal, side barrier, pedestrian and child-seat tests, but the i3 was tripped up when it came to the more severe side pole test and the rear-impact test. The pole test showed protection to the chest of the test dummy was "weak," and the front seats only provided "marginal" protection against whiplash for front passengers. Scroll down to watch two videos released by the Euro NCAP of the i3 being tested.
