I am moving out of state to the rainy Pacific North West, and am reluctantly selling my car.  I've had this car for a few years, and have put 40k miles on it since purchasing it, mostly highway, as my job took me from Dayton to Cincinnati, Columbus, Troy, etc. It has 137,xxx miles on it, but I do drive it when the roads are clear.  It is garaged, and I drive my 4wd when roads are bad.


The Good:  Hellrot (German for Bright Red) colour, 5 speed transmission.  water pump, radiator, hoses, overflow tank all replaced at 105,000 miles.  Converted to electric radiator fan.  Carbon Fiber intake from Turner MotorSports, K&N air filter, DINAN springs, sway bars, and strut tower bar, DINAN/Koni shocks/struts.  Heated leather seats.  3.0 liter M54 motor. Power roof, power windows. Good A/C.  Fast. Fun. Attracts attention. Always has run good for me.  Legendary BMW performance and quality.  Priced to sell, as I can't take it with me.

The Bad:  Fast, Attracts attention (just ask the highway patrol officer who pulled me over)! Driver's seat has a split right under the butt (separated about 3/8" - 1/2", across the center of the seating area). Non stock wing is mounted on trunk. Valve cover gasket needs replaced ($28 part, easy fix). Split in rear window right at the top (Windows zip in, cost about $80 on eBay). Wheels could use a re-paint, there is a small dent (does not penetrate the paint) by the fuel cap, and will need new rear tires soon ($130 each on TireRack.)  Car is priced accordingly.

Note: Over the summer the driver's seat was replaced with a Sparco seat, which I subsequently removed (not as comfy as I thought it would be).  The original driver's seat was carefully removed, stored, and put back in place after the Sparco was sold.  The Sparco seat is NOT included!

Buyer responsible for pick-up, or arrangement of shipping.  $500 non refundable deposit via paypal must be made within 48 hours of end of auction.  Car will not be released until any checks have completely cleared seller's bank. Any check must be a certified bank check from a major US bank (ie: Chase, PNC, 5th 3rd Bank, etc.).

2012 Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn offers a tutorial in cars to come

Sun, 19 Aug 2012

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is a showcase for some of the world's most exquisite vintage vehicles, but if newer metal is more your speed, the Concept Car Lawn is the place to be.
This year saw models from Bugatti, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, McLaren and Bentley as well as SRT, Hennessey, Infiniti and Lexus among others. The ultimate sampler platter of exotic and concept vehicles saw the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse mingle with the Lamborghini Urus Concept and the mighty Hennessey Venom GT, though we found ourselves particularly smitten with the BMW Zagato Roadster and the Aston Martin Vanquish.
Not that we could go wrong anywhere we looked. The 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed seemed perfectly content parked on the manicured putting green, as did the McLaren MP4-12C Spider. Get cozy with the full gallery below to see the smattering of metal on the lawn.

2nd annual Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards revealed

Tue, Jan 13 2015

There was some absolutely fantastic auto advertising in 2014, ranging from funny to inspiring. Marking the best of it from the past year, the Second Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards were announced during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (full disclosure: Autoblog was among the award's sponsors, and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty was a voter). Unlike previously, there were no brands with dominance over the list this time. Presented by The One Club, the awards have an international scope and hand out honors in a variety of categories. In the Broadcast TV group, there were three winners this year. First, there was The Scripted Life from Audi for the Q3 about breaking out of life's monotony. Also, Dad's Sixth Sense from Hyundai marketed the safety features in the Genesis. Finally, Unbreakable Drivers showed manly men being tested for the Toyota Hilux in Australia. The Online Video prize went to the fantastic The Epic Split spot from Volvo Trucks starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The best Interactive ad was the Honda video titled The Other Side for the Civic Type R, and the Experiential Advertising nod was for the Volkswagen Eyes on the Road clip that showed the dangers of texting and driving to a theater full of moviegoers in Hong Kong. Finally, the Public Choice Award went to the BMW commercial called Hello Future using the words of sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke for the i8. In the award not for videos, Jeep won the Print/Outdoor category for its Upside Down campaign. Check the ads out below, which show different animals when upside down. Also, look farther down for all of the winning videos and read their full announcements. View 3 Photos Automobile Advertising of the Year Winners Announced New York, NY (January 13, 2015) – The One Club (www.oneclub.org), producers of the prestigious One Show Awards and Creative Week, today announced the winners for the 2nd Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards. In partnership with the North American International Auto Show (www.naias.com) in Detroit, The One Club today unveiled the best automotive ads from around the world in five categories: broadcast TV, online video, interactive, experiential advertising, and print & outdoor. Winners will be presented on-stage at a special event during the NAIAS Press Preview on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, at the Cobo Center in Detroit at 4:55 p.m. The event is sponsored by AOL's Autoblog.

BMW 2 Series caught uncovered during shoot

Thu, 16 May 2013

Before we know it, the BMW 1 Series will be no more in the United States. Well, sort of. The current six-year-old coupe and convertible will be replaced by the fancy new 2 Series you see here, spotted completely uncovered during a photo shoot, with the 1 Series nomenclature being reserved for the hatchback and GT models that might not ever make it Stateside.
The roofline of the new 2 Series doesn't appear to have to changed all that much from the current 1 Series coupe, but the front and rear fascias have indeed been smoothed out. (Truth time: As much as your author adores the 1 Series, he's always found its rear end to be, well, weird.) It looks good, seen here in M235i guise, with large wheels, slimmer headlamps and large air intakes on either side of the front fascia.
The 2 Series is expected to come to the States, likely in M235i and 228i variants, though rumors suggest that we won't get a non-M 235i model. The M235i is expected to be powered by the N55 turbocharged inline-six that we currently enjoy in the 335i sedan, producing something like 320 horsepower. The 228i, unsurprisingly, should use the 2.0-liter turbo-four from the 328i, making around 240 hp. Both engines will almost certainly employ eight-speed automatic transmissions and six-speed manuals.
