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.

BMW i3 to start at $41,350*

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

With a week to go before the global debut of the BMW i3, BMW has announced pricing for its first-ever production electric vehicle. The all-electric version of the i3 goes on sale in the second quarter of next year with a starting price of $41,350 (*not including $925 for destination nor any applicable government tax credits).
Some of the pricing elements for the i3 that BMW continues to withhold are the cost of the model using a gasoline motorcycle engine as a range-extending generator, or that of the DC Fast Charge option. This latter feature will allow the i3's depleted lithium-ion battery pack to get an 80 percent charge in just 20 minutes; for comparison's sake, the DC quick charge feature is a $750 option on the 2014 Chevy Spark EV.
Sure, we've already driven the BMW i3, but the production version of the BMW EV - promising the interior space of a BMW 3 Series - will be unveiled next week at simultaneous ceremonies in New York, London and Beijing. Scroll down for BMW's brief press blast regarding its upcoming i3.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

BMW i5, i7 rumors surface again

Tue, Feb 17 2015

When we first wrote about a rumored BMW i5 in January 2014, after speaking to the Munich-based head of electric vehicle operations and strategy, BMW USA wrote to tell us that the "suggestion of a BMW i model larger than the i3 is hypothetical at this point." After that note came a year of speculation from places like Car and Driver, Automobile and Autocar zeroing in on what this "hypothetical" EV would look like. Car has this year's first scoop, laying out a few more of the ideas behind the expansion of the i line. Said to be aimed straight at the Tesla Model S, it is based on the long-wheelbase, Chinese-market 5 Series but will be badged as either an i5 or an i7. Expected to arrive in time for the 2018 model year to join the next-generation 5 Series, it will be priced to compete with the Model S, but loading up on options can push that beyond $125,000, according to Car. Outside will be a sedan body, possibly with cues from the 6 Series Gran Coupe and the next 7 Series. The internals will be a mix of components like steering, brakes, and suspension from the next ICE 5 Series, with a plug-in hybrid, battery-extending powertrain derived from the i8. Car's info suggests a four-cylinder motor with around 245 horsepower up front, with a 204-hp e-motor also up front and a 90-hp e-motor in the back, as opposed to the i8's single motor. That arrangement provides about 544 total horsepower and will allow the sedan to run in purely electric front- or rear-wheel drive, or as a petrol-electric all-wheel drive. Electric range should be around 80 miles, and the ICE will be limited to operation above 40 miles per hour. There's reason to start putting weight behind these specs because they repeat, almost exactly, those written in the Automobile piece from December. That story said BMW wants to build 30,000 of them per year, and a concept could come in 2017.
