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.).

2015 BMW i8 offers you a fast ride to the future for $135,700* [w/video]

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

BMW's long-form teasing and rollout of its incredibly cool i8 has put us in a unique position to report from its world debut here in Frankfurt. Typically, an auto show debut marks just the start of the information dump about a new vehicle. The i8, however, is a car that we've already driven and reviewed, so perhaps the biggest news from the show floor is the official price of the thing, as well as getting to see it live and in person, of course.
Arriving in US showrooms in the spring of 2014, the i8 performance plug-in hybrid will carry a price tag of $135,700 (*not including $925 for destination and handling charges). That kind of cash puts the i8 near the very top of the BMW range (slotting just under the top-trim 7-Series models), and will buy a massive amount of new technology.
The four-seat i8 has the look of a true supercar, and its new-tech drivetrain will offer up the performance of a stirring sports car, at least. A TwinPower Turbo, three-cylinder, 1.5-liter engine will make 231 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque that's gets sent to the rear wheels, while a 96-kilowatt electric motor doles out 131 hp and 184 lb-ft of maximum torque to the fronts. Total system output of 362 hp and 420 lb-ft allows the i8 to sprint to 62 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds with all-wheels-driven handling, and it still returns an astonishing 94 miles per gallon US.

Xcar celebrates 100-year anniversary with Model T tribute

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Never mind the fact that XCar hasn't been making videos for the last 100 years, the British duo have gone all silent-moving-pictures in order to make their centenary case for the Ford Model T, a car that was already seven years old in 1915. It's not a review, but a mostly sepia-tinged look at the car that started the mass-market adventure by taking that biblical advice to be fruitful and multiply and populate the Earth abundantly. Since it looks like Xcar is celebrating some kind of milestone, we've also included another video below of the first Xcar review we could find, covering the BMW M1, from the much more recent past - circa 2012.

BMW dismisses Tesla tie-up talk

Tue, Dec 2 2014

Despite recent rumors to the contrary, don't expect to see much collaboration between Tesla and BMW in the near future. Based on some rather prickly statements from the German automaker, Elon Musk might have even burnt some bridges in Bavaria with his latest proclamations. The spat stems from Musk's recent interview with German magazine Der Spiegel where he discusses future collaboration with BMW on "battery technology or charging stations" and the possibility of a battery factory in Germany. But apparently, any future tie-ups are news to the Bavarian automaker. In an interview with the German business publication Wirtschafts Woche, an unnamed spokesperson for the company claims Musk said it all for PR value and swats down most of the statements. BMW has no intention of acquiring Tesla shares, and they aren't working together on any tech. There's not much chance for future cooperation on a battery factory in Germany, either. BMW believes that the cells can just as easily be purchased from suppliers, like other auto parts. The one slight concession is that the spokesperson said that the German automaker would be willing to supply Tesla with carbon fiber. That's not an exclusive offer, though, and the company is open to negotiate such a deal with any interested automaker.
