With Winter in full swing, this car stays in the garage mostly....just driven occasionally on nice days.

Rare Euro-spec M635csi with 120K miles.  I am the third owner, and an avid enthusiast of the E24, E28, and E30.  I'm hoping this car goes to a similar buyer.

I have higher resolution pictures available on request.  All maintenance, including regular fluid changes, has been done by the same reputable shop for the past decade and the receipts are available.  Car has recently passed Missouri safety inspection. 

Maintenance history:  Top-end rebuild at 88,000 miles:  Head removed and cleaned, double valve spring replacement, new valve seats, new valves, and chain tensioner. Timing chain itself replaced at 115,000 miles. The car runs better than new and oil remains amazingly clean between changes.  All the usual replacement parts have been taken care of, as this car has been actually DRIVEN and maintained as a regular driver - brake and clutch hydraulics, all the rubber bits - bushings and mounts, fan clutch, cap and rotor, Bilstein shocks on rear, rear subframe, A/C compressor, antenna motor, and many other parts replaced whenever needed.  Most importantly, regular fluid changes including coolant to ensure cooling efficiency over time.

Professional Repaint:  It's original Arctic Blau color two years ago. No rust issues except surface rust around the battery housing. No chips, no rash, no dents.  One minor scrape and repaired crack on lower right corner of the front air dam.  A very small pea-size ding on the driver's side door, about 2 inches from the bottom that is hard to see unless you are looking down the side of the car.  The leather Recarro seats are in great shape (no rips).

Modifications: Professionally installed new stereo 2 years ago with USB for MP3 or iPod, and Rockford Fosgate 6" round speakers were installed in the rear pods, 4X6 replacements up front. Original metric wheels were replaced with 16 inch Borbet 5 spoke wheels by the previous owner. 

Extra parts:  Free flow cat, if you need it in your state

Minor issues:

It has two small cracks in the dash that are not easily visible (near the vents).
Driver side rear side window is difficult to roll up if it is rolled down (not impossible, but a little tricky). Good rule to follow: Don't roll it down.
Trunk spring is not attached. If you lift the trunk all the way it stays open on it's own, but as you lower it you will want to lower it gently so it doesn't drop.
Vent sliders need new plastic nobs. I personally like the look of the sliders and the little lights without the big clunky nobs but they can be easily replaced.

Payment terms:  Cash or certified bank check only.  Buyer arranges shipping.  Please no more phantom bidders or scammers wanting to wire money - you people are so tiresome!

Mini Vision Next 100 Concept: It's the autonomy, stupid

Thu, Jun 16 2016

The concepts that Mini and Rolls-Royce showed off today – the Vision Next 100 Concept and 103EX, respectively – are all about autonomy. The Rolls-Royce doesn't even have a place for a "driver." And even though both are very much blue sky concepts, corporate parent BMW thinks it will make fully-autonomous cars within the next five years. That's according to Peter Schwarzenbauer, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, MINI, BMW Motorrad, Rolls-Royce, and Aftersales BMW Group, who also told us that both cars, at least in concept, are fully electric. The Rolls-Royce has dual-drive, 250kw motors mounted fore-and aft, on front and rear axles. While the Rolls is clearly a luxury concept for the monied few, the Mini is very much focused on a shared economy. Holger Hampf, Head of User Experience, BMW Group, said the chief design challenge of a car-sharing world is producing a car that could in theory mean different things to different borrowers. You get exclusivity because each car would morph according to the borrower's desires. BMW/Mini already have a car-sharing program in London called DriveNow, and a pilot program in Seattle called ReachNow, focused on the idea of shared exclusivity. ReachNow, which allows Mini/BMW owners to lend their cars out in an AirBnB-type scheme or to borrow "fleet-style cars," are immutable – however the car that was ordered is what the borrower or the owner will get. That's great if you're the owner, but it's also challenging for both anyone who'd buy that car used or for anyone borrowing the car. And if the future of most cars is a shared model (Ford is now offering multi-person leases among up to six buyers in a pilot program in Austin, Texas), customization is impossible. The result is what Schwarzenbauer derogatorily calls "normed." He says carmakers have to relearn to brand for a world where ownership is devalued but customization is key. To that end the MINI VISION NEXT 100 is "skinned." We've seen this before with the BMW NEXT concept that was revealed at the NY Auto Show this past spring, and the idea is to use the exterior of the car as a canvass that changes according to setting. Indeed Mini envisions that in a multi-driver household, the vehicle's customization could easily include changing colors according to driver preference – automatically. Dr.

BMW i8 headed to Frankfurt

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

According to Edmunds, BMW will reveal its production i8 hybrid sports car at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. The i8 is the second vehicle to come from the automaker's new "i" initiative, following the debut of the smaller i3 hatchback last month.
The BMW i8 makes its debut nearly four years after the original Vision EfficientDynamics concept bowed at the Frankfurt expo in 2009. The production car is expected to use a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that drives the rear wheels, coupled to an electric motor that drives the front wheels. Combined output is said to be something like 393 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, based on our earlier reports. The i8 is also expected to be very light, with curb weight coming in somewhere around 3,125 pounds. Finally, the i8 is said to have a pure electric range of 20 miles, and should be able to hit 62 miles per hour in just under five seconds.
Other publications had the chance to ride along in the i8 (in prototype form) and came away impressed. We're hoping we'll feel the same when the car officially goes on sale sometime in early 2014. Stay tuned for more at the i8's official unveiling in just a few weeks.

BMW 1 Series with B38 three-cylinder engine

Downsizing For BMW's Front-Wheel-Drive And i Futures
Output is quoted at 175 horsepower and BMW says it will hit 62 mph in 7.0 seconds.
The red five-door BMW 1 Series seen in this photo gallery has little to do with what is actually of importance here. What we've just tested at an airfield not far from Munich, Germany, is a new 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo inline three-cylinder gas engine that we'll be hearing an awful lot about in the coming few years.
