BMW M Roadster, 2001, 55,100 miles.  S54, 315 HP engine (premium gas), Red (Imola Rot) exterior, red/black leather interior.  Excellent body with exception of one tiny dent in right front quarter just below the vent trim.  There are tiny nicks here and there that have been touched up.  Very well maintained, all service records from 8/04 to present.  Third owner, purchased with 42K miles in 2006.  Interior in very good condition.  After market floor mats with M Logo.  No Smoke.  2nd owner purchased the car from a Florida dealer as a CPO with warranty.  Top shows slight wear at pressure points (from when it is closed).  Rear window has a wear line across because the previous owners didn't use a BMW window protector as I do.  I also have a fabric "cockpit cover" to use when the top is down, attaches with tabs under the deck lid, velcro straps on the wipers, and elastic bands that slip under the door handles---it will not blow off. The boot cover for the top is in fine shape.  Also have the factory mesh wind screen that attaches between the roll hoops---nice to have.  Mechanically excellent.  Just had new tie rod ends installed because the shop said I needed them, couldn't tell by driving.  Four-wheel alignment done at that time.  The engine has never missed a beat since I've had the car, very strong.  No oil use.  I installed a Strong Strut shock tower brace, mostly because it looks cool with the black crinkle finish ($500.)  Otherwise the vehicle is totally stock.  Wheels in fine shape (no rash) but the finish is looking faded.  The original pattern Michelin Pilot Sport tires are getting thin, still good for a while.

2015 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe priced from $118,225* [w/poll]

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

If you're in the market for a high-performance BMW and you live in Europe, you've typically had two range of options at your disposal: you could go for one of BMW's own M models, or turn to Alpina. Though technically independent of BMW, Alpina is about as close to the manufacturer as a tuner can get, and many of its models are offered through BMW's own dealer network.
That's overseas, but in the North American market, BMW has typically taken a different approach, offering just one Alpina model - the B7 - to fill in for a lack of M7 performance sedan. That all changes, however, with the debut of the BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe.
Slotting in alongside the M6 Gran Coupe, the Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe is marginally more expensive and slightly less powerful, but makes up for those relative (and negligible) shortcomings in spades. Both are based on the 6 Series Gran Coupe and both pack a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, but with key differences. Where the M6 produces 560 horsepower, the Alpina offers 'only' 540. But where the M6 channels 500 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Alpina drives 540 lb-ft to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic.

Mini Countryman PHEV caught at electric watering hole

Fri, Jul 15 2016

Our spy photographers have once again found the next generation Mini Countryman out testing in the wild. This time, they caught it replenishing its thirst for electrons. Although we knew some sort of hybrid Countryman was coming, this confirms its existence and plug-in capabilities beyond any reasonable doubt. Like the rest of the Mini lineup, this new Countryman will be noticeably larger than its predecessor. It also appears to feature a larger, more aggressive grille and lower intake vents. Other than that, the car appears to be quite evolutionary in design. Our spy photographers expect the plug-in hybrid Countryman to debut in 2019 powered by a combination of the 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder and an electric motor. We have also predicted that the gasoline engine could power the front wheels while the electric motor (or motors) powers the rear wheels, which together could provide all-wheel-drive and 240 horsepower.

BMW invests in carbon fiber for use beyond i and M models

Tue, 13 May 2014

The immense amount of resources BMW has poured into its i brand program hasn't stopped, and recent developments indicate it's likely to pay off for BMW and BMW buyers outside the i brand. The i8 has already sold out its first year run, the i3 racked up 10,000 orders before it even went on sale and is already the subject of public discussion about being stretched into an i5, and a new investment in carbon fiber production has the automaker talking about CFRP use in non-i and non-M models.
BMW and SGL Group got together to form SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers (ACF), and the joint venture produces all of the CFRP for the i3 and i8 on two production lines at its plant in Moses Lake, Washington. After already investing $100 million to increase capacity, BMW has announced that another $200 million will add four more production lines, tripling production from 3,000 tons per year to 9,000 tons. When the expansion is complete in 2015, BMW says the Moses Lake facility will be the world's largest carbon fiber plant.
That's a lot of weave and the long view is that it will find its way into core models, with BMW exec Dr. Klaus Draeger saying, "As part of an intelligent mix of materials, we will apply carbon also beyond our BMW i and BMW M models in the future," and be able to do so "at competitive costs and in large quantities."
