2008 Bmw M5 Dinan Stroker E60 on 2040-cars
|
After much soul searching, the time has come for my Stroker to find a
new home. This car has a long history on M5Board.com, so I will try to keep
the details short:
This car is the "Cody Stroker" from Austin, Texas. After Cody, the famous "Street King" a.k.a. SW owned this car and he sold it to me with 38K miles on it last year. So, if you live in CA, this is a fantastic looking and sounding smog legal car. If you don't, then you can de-cat it again :-) I've put 10K miles on it, and the only work it needed was to replace the brake controller due to an ABS fault light. So before we get to the pictures, here are some details: 2008 E60 M5 Dinan S3 49K miles Asking $49,990 Black on black Full leather, alcantra headliner KW coilovers Heads up display Active seats Electric rear sunshade Soft close doors Factory ipod integration Back up camera integration Integrated Passport 9500 with front and rear laser shifter RPI exhaust and scoops Carbon fiber rear spoiler Car used to have a clear bra on it which I removed recently so the paint work is virtually perfect. This is very rare, particularly on a black car. There are no dings or blemishes, except for one wheel that has very slight road rash and some small scrapes on the front air dam. On Feb-19-14 at 11:55:02 PST, seller added the following information: There is a typo in the category and I can't fix it....
The engine is 5.8L Dinan Stroker.
This car makes about 630 HP. It is de-restricted, so top speed is about 200 MPH. Yes, this car can hit 200 MPH on a closed course. The 0-60 MPH time is around 4 seconds.

2013 BMW R1200GS and HP4 duel at Circuito de Almeria
Wed, 05 Jun 2013The 2013 BMW HP4 is the track-ready version of the manufacturer's already mighty S1000RR, which puts the bike at the very tip top of the two-wheeled BMW food chain. The R1200GS, meanwhile, is intended to be a somewhat more utilitarian machine. Capable of conveying both rider and gear over vast distances and uncertain terrain, the big-boy GS is the Swiss army knife to the HP4's rapier. Or at least that's what we've always been led to believe. BMW recently rolled out some footage during a press launch that showed the R1200GS is actually no slouch when it comes time to sling around a road course.
The company threw both bikes on Spain's Circuito de Almeria for a little sparring match, and miraculously, the HP4 didn't just up and walk away from the R1200GS. From from it. Instead, the two stay tightly matched through most of the course before something surprising happens. We won't spoil the ending for you. Is it possible the rider on the HP4 still had some in reserve? Sure, but from the sound and look of things, neither bike was giving an inch. Check out all the video action below for yourself.
BMW X4 hatches its fastback shape in Shanghai
Fri, 19 Apr 2013The day has finally come for BMW to pull the covers off its X4 Concept at the Shanghai Motor Show. The machine brings few surprises - we've already seen an official image gallery from the German automaker, so its exterior shape was well known - but at least now we get to see it with our own eyes, and with the lenses of our very own cameras.
You can clearly see the fastback roofline in our high-res image gallery above, along with the jacked-up stance that allows BMW to call this machine a Sports Activity Vehicle, which basically means "Crossover" to our friends in Munich. We've seen similar vehicle shapes before, most notably in the form of the BMW X6, but also as far back as the 1980s from the likes of AMC.
We fully expect the transition from concept to production to be pretty seamless, so what we see here is, for the most part, what we'll see on the showroom floor in 2014. Feel free to peruse the press release below, but first, be sure to browse through our live images from Shanghai and let us know what you think.
First BMW i8 in US sells for $825,000
Mon, Aug 18 2014Here are some numbers. The standard BMW i8 starts at starts at $135,700. The first i8 in the US was auctioned off at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this past weekend and the auctioneers, Gooding & Company, said before the gavel was lifted the fist time that they expected the i8 with unique Frozen Grey Metallic and other upgrades to raise between $150,000 and $200,000 for the Pebble Beach Company Foundation. Turns out, the car eventually sold for $825,000 to an unnamed buyer. Along with the honor of having the first i8 on these shores, the special plug-in hybrid comes with Dalbergia Brown leather upholstery, a set of Louis Vuitton luggage and something called a "professional edition" charging station along with laser headlights (subject to regulator approval). A number of other i8s were delivered to a few wealthy car shoppers who managed to make their way to Pebble Beach over the weekend, including automotive guru Roger Penske and Nest CEO Tony Fadell. The special edition was presented at the auction by Jay Leno and BMW North America president and CEO, Ludwig Willisch. You can't put a price on that. Just kidding. You can, and it's apparently $825,000.
