I have LOTS more pictures, but I can only post 4 for free, and if I post a bunch and it doesn't sell . . I've just wasted more money. I am happy to send all 30 or so I have tho!
This beautiful car has just under 103,000 miles on it, which
is low considering how durable and long lasting these cars are! My Volvo is 13 yrs old and has over 253,000
miles on it! It is a speed automatic, AWD, 4.4 L, V8, 32V Valvetronic. It is black exterior with roof rack. I have
the Car Fax for it and it’s been well maintained, having regular oil changes
and inspections. Never been wrecked. It includes the extended warranty that covers an additional 100k miles or 5 years - will expire May 2019 or 202,780 miles, whichever comes first. Its features include A huge panoramic sun roof, which is one of my favorite things about it. Self-leveling rear axle w air springs Traction control Four wheel independent suspension Speed-sensing steering wheel Anti-theft, AM/FM stereo with CD & radio 10 speakers Radio data system 4-wheel disc brakes (which were just changed at about 82K miles) Electronic stability control (I must say it does feel like a very safe car) ABS brakes Brake assist Dual front impact airbags and side impact airbags as well Front anti-roll bar Low tire pressure warning Occupant sensing airbag Overhead airbag Panic alarm Rear anti-roll bar Reverse sensing system Security system Dakota leather upholstery Split folding rear seat Steering wheel memory Steering wheel also has audio controls Tilt steering wheel (and it moves up when you go to get out of the car) Trip computer Air conditioning (works REALLY Well), each passenger has their own temp control, too Front bucket seats Leather shift knob Tachometer Driver door bin – actually lots of really good storage space Vanity mirrors for front passengers, with lighting 18 x 8.5 double spoke alloy wheels Variably intermittent wipers Speed sensitive wipers High-intensity discharge headlights Spoiler Bodyside moldings Delayed headlights Front fog lights Fully automated headlights Heated door mirrors Power door mirrors Power trunk closing assist Rain sensing wipers Rear window wiper Roof rack – rails The back also lifts open with part of the tailgate still closed (see photo). This is great so things don’t shift and fall out the back when you open the back hatch after traveling.
Just passed inspection and emissions.
I was so excited when I bought this car because BMW is my all-time favorite car. It’s been a long and difficult 5 1/2 years after a divorce that left me as the sole support of our 2 kids, so getting this to replace my 13 yr old, 253K mile Volvo felt like a real accomplishment. Especially on the heels of earning my master’s degree just over a month ago. I am the 3rd owner of this car, I believe, and it originated in Hawaii! It then moved to NC before settling here in NoVA. It wasn’t really planned but more like something that fell into place, or so I thought. There was a light on the dashboard when I got it but my son and I thought it had to do with the 4x4 being disengaged . . until two more lights came on. I called the dealer and took it in, and a few days later they returned my vehicle with a new alternator. Being a little nervous, I took it to the mechanic I trust completely for a good once over, in case there were other lurking issues. He cleared it and, in fact, said it was a good car. He also told me it was a V8. Therein lies my problem. The salesperson at Pohanka told me it was a V8, AWD vehicle. After looking briefly at a sedan and this one, and from what I was told, this would get a little less gas mileage due to the AWD. I asked about this before we even test drove it, and the sales person looked it up on his phone right there in the parking lot to tell me the difference between AWD and a regular vehicle with only two wheels really doing the work. There was NO mention of it being an 8 cylinder. Since he initially said V6, I didn’t ask more about that. I simply cannot afford to keep a V8 car . . . . .despite having an advanced education, I’m still supporting my family on a lower income salary because, at the time of my divorce, I had been a stay-home mom for 10 years. I had to start all over. Had the sales person told me it was a V8, I would have kept looking. There are smaller engine SUVs out there. I used to own one until the ex took it, promised to bring it back and trade, but traded it in on a sporty model instead. It will sit in my parking lot until it sells and I will only use it when I need to take my kids to activities that are further out, because my Volvo has a transmission problem and it worries me to get stuck on the road somewhere, at some point. I bought an extended warranty for 5 yrs/ 100K miles that is included. It was the best policy by an A+ BBB rated company I could find after much research. I can put you in touch with the warranty people if you have questions about what it covers. There is a $100 deductible for each covered expense, but no limits or caps on covered items. This is great if you’re hauling a boat or a trailer, but it’s too much car for me. Even if I made twice as much and the gasoline wasn’t an issue, a V6 is all the more car I need. That’s what I will look for once I sell this to someone who can truly appreciate it.

Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis
Thu, Nov 20 2014Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall
BMW i8 fully revealed ahead of Frankfurt debut
Tue, 10 Sep 2013It may be early in the morning here in the US, but in Germany, the first day of the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show is in full swing. BMW took advantage of the early start and showed off its long-awaited i8 plug-in hybrid sportscar, a two-plus-two, swan-wing-doored coupe, to the Frankfurt crowd.
We drove a BMW i8 prototype back in August, so many of the things we're reading today are clarifications on our initial suspicions or speculations. Underhood sits a 1.5-liter, turbocharged, three-cylinder engine. On its own, it churns out a respectable 231 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque, which is then channeled to the rear wheels by way of a six-speed automatic transmission. An electric motor, meanwhile, sends 131 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque through a two-speed automatic to the front wheels.
With all-wheel drive at its disposal, the total system power sits at 362 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque, and allows the i8 to scamper to 62 miles per hour in just 4.4 seconds. That excellent performance is offset by an estimated fuel economy figure of 94 miles per gallon, though, making this a fast and efficient vehicle. Charging is impressively fast on the i8, with a full charge coming from a 110-volt outlet in under four hours. A BMW Charging Station will trim the charge time down to 1.5 hours.
BMW to launch loaner program to avoid range anxiety on i models
Tue, 12 Mar 2013BMW is looking to stave off electric vehicle range anxiety with a new program that offers buyers a free gasoline loaner with every i3 purchase. Ward's Auto reports BMW is confident that the EV will give buyers the kind of transportation they need for 90 percent of their trips. The loaners, meanwhile, will be available for those few occasions when drivers need to cover more ground than the machine's batteries will allow. The i3 gets around with help from a 180-horsepower electric motor paired with a lithium-ion battery pack.
The combo is good for trips of between 80 and 100 miles depending on driving habits and weather conditions, though BMW also plans to offer a model with a small two-cylinder range-extending gasoline engine as well. That option will likely set you back an additional $4,000. When the machine bows in 2014, it will likely come with a charge time of four to six hours when suckling from a 220-volt outlet.
As far as the conventionally powered loaner car goes, the cost of the program is included in the i3's purchase price, though BMW has yet to figure out how many free loans will be offered, or what happens after that threshold is reached.
