This is a low mileage 2-owner vehicle well suited for the family that enjoys traveling in style and comfort. Most owners of this vehicle opted for the free automatic transmission; however, this car maintained its original 6-speed manual transmission making it somewhat rare and was hard to find. The engine is rated at 255 hp and 220 ft lbs of torque. I took ownership from Bell BMW in New Jersey that had initially leased it then put it through their certified used program after it was returned to them. It has not been a daily driver until recently; therefore, the mileage has remained relatively low at 65+K. The car was in the San Francisco Bay Area from July 2010 to June 2013 and maintained by Weatherford BMW in Berkeley under both the manufacturer's and certified pre-owned warranty; records included. The car is currently garaged in Pembroke Pines. FL. Around town gas mileage averages about 22 mpg, fully loaded with a roof rack around 25 mpg, and I have achieved 28-29 mpg on multiple lightly-loaded trips on open roads. A few of my favorite interior options include the front/rear heated seats and the heated steering wheel, large sunroof, and audio sound quality. There are LATCH attachments for child safety seats in the rear. On the outside, a critical component of the car's performance is the 18' 245 series wheel and tire package that ensures the car never loses traction. The AWD system mated with the dynamic stability and brake control ensures the car stays planted in any situation. An invisible but important brake-related safety feature, Dynamic Brake Control, moves the brake pads closer to the rotors if the driver quickly removes their foot from the accelerator in preparation for an emergency stop. The 0-60 time was advertised as 6.9 seconds which seems fairly accurate. The DVD charts for North America were updated to the 2012 edition and I will pass along the BMW car cover with the vehicle. The paint has been touched-up in two areas: the driver's door and rear bumper. The wheels have some minor scratches on the outer edges. There is a small indentation in the front bumper from a chain-link fence and a scratch on the front left. The left passenger door is dinged. The car is mechanically sound with no leaks and has years of enjoyment left to give to the right owner. Contact me with questions

BMW Concept 90 Motorcycle debuts at Villa d'Este

Fri, 24 May 2013

The Concept 90 is one of two new vehicles BMW is showing off at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the tony shores of Lake Como in Italy. This year is the 90th anniversary of BMW Motorrad and the 40th anniversary of the R 90 S (inset) - the first production motorcycle to come with a front fairing - and BMW has worked with custom bike builder Roland Sands Design to craft a homage to the Daytona Orange boxer from the Seventies.
While following the line of its forbearer, obviously the Concept 90 has been sexed and sleeked up. The bodywork is of hand-worked aluminum, the giant halogen lamp of the 1975 model (which is when Daytona Orange was introduced) has gone LED, and the front engine cover, valve covers, exhaust and wheels have been made with a contrast-cut milling process.
For a finer description of the Concept 90 check out the press release below, or skip the words and go straight to the high-res images above.

Mercedes and VW battling Uber and Apple to spend billions on Nokia mapping division

Tue, May 12 2015

Whether for autonomous driving or simply better navigation, digital mapping is closely linked with the future of motoring. The sale of a major player in that industry is spurring a showdown between automotive behemoths and tech giants, and it's a fascinating battle to watch unfold. Nokia is selling its Here mapping division, and while the company might not have the name recognition of Google, it controls about 70 percent of the auto market. The business is valued at $785 million, according to Reuters, but is likely to sell for significantly more. Case in point: Uber reportedly submitted a $3 billion bid. Apple has also been rumored to be among those interested in purchasing Here. A trio of German automotive heavyweights is mounting a challenge to Silicon Valley, though. According to Reuters speaking to two unnamed insiders, Daimler, BMW, and Audi are teaming up to submit a joint bid for an undisclosed sum. They're worried that if Here falls under the control of tech companies, then automakers might have limited availability to these vital maps in the future. Nokia bought Here for $8.1 billion in 2007, according to Reuters. The company operates a fleet of vehicles with cameras and LIDAR that drive around the world to create high-definition maps. It also generates even more information by using the GPS data from shipping and trucking companies.

Zombie cars: A dozen discontinued vehicles people still buy new

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape.   BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021.   Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year.   Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.
