FOR SALE: 1999 BMW M Coupe, Imola Red exterior, black leather interior, manual transmission, sunroof. Clear New York State Motor Vehicle Title, with no liens. I am the third owner, and purchased the car in May 2008 with 117k miles. The car has been sparingly driven since I have owned it, and now shows 136,683 miles on the odometer. The car has BMW’s S52 engine: rated from the factory at 240 hp and 236 ft lbs of torque. (The car’s original owner added a Dinan ECU tune, which added 10 hp, and raised the top speed limit.) The car is in very good overall condition, and accelerates, brakes, and handles the way a BMW M Coupe should. Mechanically, the engine is very strong, and runs great, with no leaks, oil consumption, check engine or other warning lights displayed, and no abnormal noises. The clutch was recently replaced with a Sach oem unit, and works excellent. The oil has been regularly changed using BMW filters and fully synthetic oil. (either Mobil 1 or Amsoil) All fluids have been changed including transmission, brake, differential and coolant. The brakes work great with plenty of pad and rotor life remaining, and no pulsing or squealing. The tires are a set of matching Toyo Proxes 4, with plenty of tread life remaining. The rims are in very good condition. One has minor curb rash, but they are very good overall for the age of the car. The interior of the car is also very good. There are no cracks in the dashboard and no missing trim pieces. The seats are in very nice condition. The shifter knob needs replacement, and I will be including a lighted BMW ZHP replacement shift knob with the purchase of the car. The HVAC system works fine, except that the blower fan will only run on the high and low settings. The CD changer does not work. The glove compartment door sags like they all do and the catch straps need reattachment. Overall, the exterior of the car is in great condition. The paint is excellent, and there are few to no dents, dings, or scrapes. The car did sustain front end damage in a collision with a guardrail. The airbags did not deploy. A professional quality repair was completed, which included replacement of the bumper and bumper cover, hood, radiator, trim pieces including two new headlights, and repainting. The repair looks good, except that the bumper to hood gap is larger than it should be and the hood alignment is slightly off. Also included: car cover, manuals, extra keys. The pictures in this auction are current and of the car for sale. TERMS: There is no express or implied warranty offered with this car. Sold as is. Shipping is not offered, though I am willing to work with Buyer’s shipper to facilitate pickup of the vehicle. PAYMENT: $1000 PayPal payment due within 24 hours of the end of this auction. Balance due in cash, or certified funds acceptable to Seller at time of delivery and transfer of title. Vehicle is located in Syracuse, NY. Please feel free to ask any questions by e-mail, and I will try to answer them. Reason for Sale: buying newer BMW.

BMW releases complete pricing info on M3 and M4

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When BMW unveiled the M3 and M4 at the Detroit Auto Show back in January, we told you that the new sportsters were starting at $62,000 and $64,200, respectively. That leaked info, though, only told a small part of the story for the new M cars. Now, we have the complete pricing sheet on the new coupe and sedan, direct from BMW.
The pricing intel that we had at the time was correct - prices start at $62,000 for four doors and $64,200 for two. Those prices don't include the $925 destination charge. Potential customers should also plan on spending an extra $550, as seven of the eight paint options are of the metallic variety. BMW's trademark Alpine White is the only no-cost paint option.
As for the cabin, customers will, interestingly, have the choice of a cloth/leather combination as standard. That's in addition to the standard suite of leather options. There are also extended leather and full leather options, for $950 and $3,500, respectively. There are three option packages available, covering all the extra goodies for the M3 and M4.

Apple Car's latest EV secret? Magna could be its new Foxconn

Mon, Apr 18 2016

There have been rumors and noises and noisey rumors about a potential EV from Apple. We certainly don't know what's true and what's not, but a new whisper says that the California computer company might be secretly working on an upcoming electric car in Berlin. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), which cited "sources with knowledge," there are about 15-20 "progressive thinkers" working on the car in Berlin. FAZ comes up with a few more details for this potential EV, including that the first-gen might not be autonomous. The small car might be available by like 2019 or 2020 and that it might be available through car sharing as well as purchase. The most concrete new detail that FAZ offers up is that Apple will build the car in Germany with automotive supplier Magna. That sure does mesh well with a statement from Magna CEO Don Walker from last year, when he said: We are, in my opinion, the best contract manufacturer in the world. [With] our ability to do small-volume niche vehicle production and help with the engineering and the launch and the procurement ... we'd be a logical person for anybody if they have small volume or [are] a new entrant coming out. Plus, it's not like Apple CEO Tim Cook understands auto manufacturing and already uses outside help like Foxconn to build its computer products. Lyle Dennis, who now runs Apple Car Fans, told AutoblogGreen that he thinks this rumor about the Germany connection is true. "I suspect this is real," he said. "There have been discussions between Apple and BMW. It wouldn't surprise me if they did build the Apple car there." Well, maybe those discussions happened and maybe they didn't.Related Video: News Source: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung via Apple Car Fans Green Rumormill BMW Electric Magna project titan

Are you the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe?

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Thanks to Austrian website Autofilou (via Jalopnik), we now have our first look at what appears to be the upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe - the four-door version of the new 4 Series coupe, which itself is based on the 3 Series sedan. Makes total sense, right?
Nevertheless, in our First Drive of the 4 Series coupe, we found it to be a much more engaging experience than the 3 Series on which its based. And if this new 4GC follows in those footsteps, it could prove to be a better 3 Series sedan than, well, the 3 Series sedan.
Expect the 4 Series Gran Coupe to come in 428i and 435i flavors, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four in the base car and a 3.0-liter turbo-six in the higher-end model. Of course, BMW will likely bring a range-topping M4 Gran Coupe to market not long thereafter.
