I am reluctantly selling my beautiful BMW roadster.  I purchased this car eleven years ago when it had only 3000 miles.  It has been babied and only driven an average of 2500 miles a year.  It has been stored in my garage winters and never  been abused (I am 71 years old).  You will not find a nicer car.  I have bought many used cars and never one as nice as this one.  The car has been trouble free with only a few minor repairs.  I have the complete service records and the car has been serviced by Quality Import Service in Elkhart, Indiana.  This car can be driven anywhere, any distance.  It has what I consider the best colors with the Arctic Silver exterior and the Red Leather interior.  The interior shows no wear and the arm rest has been upgraded with a leather cover to hide the cheap plastic that BMW installed on these cars.  I have used premium Mobil 1 oil as recommended by the manufacturer and the engine runs as new.  All the controls work, AC is cold, and I have never changed a light bulb, or a fuse on this car.  I installed new Michelin Pilot Sport tires as original and these tires are like new.  The wheels are unblemished except for weight marks from the manufacturer.  The top is in great shape and only shows some slight fading.  The rear window is clear and in great shape considering it's age.  There are only two imperceptible blemishes on the car, a light scratch on the rear passenger fender and a scuff on the left rear bumper.  You would not notice these unless I showed you where they were (see pictures).  I have owned many sports cars over the years and this is the best one I have ever owned, very reliable with all the amenities, what could be better.  Bid with confidence, you will not be disappointed.

Please call me if you have any questions or need any pictures.  A deposit of $500 is required within 48 hour of winning the bid.  I can assist with shipping, if required, or pick you up at a local airport.  574-848-4623, Roger Hull

Tesla in talks with BMW about batteries, charging collaborations

Wed, Nov 26 2014

With Toyota and Daimler no longer holding Tesla shares, the electric vehicle company might be looking for a new partner – possibly a Bavarian one. In a new interview with Germany's Der Spiegel, CEO Elon Musk confirmed that he has had talks with BMW execs about future collaboration. "We are talking about whether we can collaborate in battery technology or charging stations," Musk said in the interview, according to Reuters. However, a Tesla spokesperson has tempered things by saying no formal agreements are in place at the moment. In the same interview, Musk reportedly praised BMW's use of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic in its i sub-brand offerings, and said he would like to have a battery factory in Germany in the next five or six years. The possibility of technological cooperation between Tesla and BMW has been a hot topic this year. In June, Musk reportedly met with BMW execs, and the two companies were also rumored to have met with Nissan to discuss charging technology. When Daimler sold off its shares, there was talk of it opening the way for possible collaboration between the two automakers, as well.

BMW offering glitch fix for i3 with range extender

Thu, Mar 12 2015

The BMW i3 has received quite a bit of acclaim since its release, with the electric powertrain grabbing a spot on Ward's 10 Best Engines list and the high-tech machine earning the nod as 2015 Green Car of the Year. However, Consumer Reports uncovered a vexing problem with the range-extended version of the hatchback that has plagued it until a recent software update. While CR was driving the range-extended i3 last year, it discovered that when the internal combustion engine was running during low states of charge, hard acceleration could suddenly cut back with no warning to the driver. This was especially problematic when passing. BMW knew about the issue and promised a software update in the spring. That improvement is now available. BMW spokesperson David Buchko tells Autoblog that the software update adds a percent-of-charge indicator to all models of the i3 to let drivers know just how much juice is left. For the range-extended model, it also provides a warning of possible power reduction when the charge reaches two percent. According to Consumer Reports, the revision lets the car anticipate needing more reserve power based on the topography from the navigation system, as well. For any i3 drivers who want the upgrade, they need to visit a dealer for installation, according to Buchko, but it should be come at no cost to owners. Related Video:

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of
