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 rethinks all-wheel-drive M cars

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

BMW M hasn't been able to decide whether it wants to jump on the all-wheel-drive bandwagon or not (with the exceptions of the X5 M and the X6 M, which are based on AWD architecture). That might be changing though, since M's president Friedrich Nitschke recently realized that 70 to 80 percent of Mercedes-Benz E63 AMGs are ordered with all-wheel drive. Earlier this year, Nitschke said that there were no new AWD M models planned, so this comes as somewhat of a surprise.
"On our cars we are thinking of all-wheel drive, but it won't come before we get the successor of the M5 and M6," Nitschke said in a Motoring report. "That's the timing and it's not practical to react in the current life cycles."

2015 BMW i8 sets everyone's tongues wagging in Northern Michigan

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Like few other cars we can remember, people want to talk about the 2015 BMW i8. Drive one, and you'll soon find out what we mean. They stop you at gas stations. They accost you in Walgreen's parking lots. They stream out of neighborhood bars, beers in hand.
At least, that was our experience this week during Autoblog's Technology of the Year testing. We had the pleasure of driving the plug-in hybrid BMW sports car up to and around Petoskey, MI, a resort town where seeing such exotics is rare enough, let alone in the off season. It made for some interesting conversations - so we began writing down some of the comments the butterfly-doored coupe inspired. Here's a sampling:
"Wanna race for pinks? I'll go easy on you." - Acne-covered teenage pizza delivery driver in a sad-looking Ford Taurus parked at a Valero gas station near Grayling (which incidentally didn't actually have gas).

BMW mulled ten, eight, and six-cylinder engines for i8 before going hybrid

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

There's little doubt that the 2015 BMW i8 is one of the most radical and groundbreaking performance cars this industry has seen in a long time. From its unique carbon-intensive construction to its 1.5-liter, three-cylinder and electric motor plug-in powertrain to its concept-car appearance, the flagbearer for BMW's new i venture challenges the very notion of what it takes to be a supercar.
Yet apparently the i8 almost didn't do that at all. Yes, it probably still would've had innovative assembly techniques, serious performance and come-hither bodywork, but according to a new report in the Telegraaf, it was very nearly a much more conventional beast, drawing its power from a V10 engine. According to the report, that line of development never got much beyond the drawing board, but BMW engineers then shifted their focus to both V8 and six-cylinder motivation, going so far as to build prototype cars. The higher cylinder-count engines were eventually dropped altogether after BMW decided to turn the i8 into a hybrid, with the six-cylinder reportedly nixed due to heat management and weight issues. In the end, of course, BMW went with the PHEV powertrain that offers a total system output of 362 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque - plenty of thrust for this lightweight, all-wheel drive coupe while still enabling an incredible 94 miles to the gallon on the EU cycle. Regardless of how it turned out, it's still fascinating to think that BMW didn't have a much firmer conceptual idea of what it was after when it started the i8's development.
Here at Autoblog, we're genuinely thrilled about this new generation of greener hybrid super- and hypercars, a movement spearheaded by the i8, Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. But even so, our inner-gearheads can't help but wonder what might have been had BMW pursued a more conventional i8, either in place of, or in addition to, the car they did build. What do you think?
