Bmw Other 3.0cs on 2040-cars
Gardena, California, United States
I've enjoyed driving this clean and gorgeous silver classic beauty in Southern California for the last 20 years. According to the mechanic who sold her and restored her for me, she was in Berkeley, CA before that. So, given how little rust there is, I am pretty sure that this is a "California" car. I've only taken her out occasionally for pleasure and had kept her tucked away under cover most of the time. I am only selling because I am moving back to Hawaii where it'll be difficult to find someone qualified to look after her. The body and the undercarriage is clean and solid; the paint is beautiful without any bubbles or pits. I've proudly received countless complements from passersby. She's a pleasure to drive and has plenty of pep. Engine starts up quickly and easily. Here are some of the repairs/restorations done within the last few years... - Installation/replacement of a newly rebuilt steering box, power steering pump, various steering components & the front-end suspension - Replaced master brake cylinder - Installed a "new" dashboard with no chips or cracks - Replaced the water pump and radiator- Minor rust remedial and paint work.- Installed a new ignition system I am not a car collector nor a car buff so there are a few minor flaws on the car that have not bothered me enough to fix but you should know exist... - Minor rust spots where the trunk lid meets the body. - Driver-side power window motor was deactivated and has been replaced with a hand crank.- Driver-side window has some scratches. - Driver-side door has one light paint scratch which I think could be buffed out. - Shifter boot is worn out at the base. - Clock does not work. - Seats have good upholstery but the driver side cushion is getting a bit thin from usage. - Air Conditioning system is deactivated. I didn't want to spend the money to find out what is the problem on something I rarely use.- Missing tool kit. - Headliner looks worn and may need some work. - Wood trims on both doors have some chips and cracks on the ends. I can send you photos of the items above and any other features if you'd like to examine them in details. You will be purchasing this car as is and without any warranty/guarantee from me. I am available to show you the car at pretty much any decent hours. I am located in downtown LA. Please email me with your telephone number if you'd like to speak to me directly. I require a non-refundable $2,000 deposit via Paypal or bank wire transfer. Balance must be paid with a bank wire-transfer within 7 days of auction close.Buyer is responsible for all applicable fees, taxes, custom duties and shipping costs.Please consider your fringe costs before bidding. Please do not bother asking me to misstate the purchase price on the registration paperwork. It will be cause for termination of the sale and I will keep your deposit. Thank you for your interest. Good luck on your bidding. ALOHA!

Jeep Grand Cherokee, BMW i8, Ford F-150 win 2015 Green Car Awards in DC [w/video]
Tue, Jan 27 2015There were three shiny trophies handed out at the Washington Auto Show last week by Green Car Journal, and they went to three different examples of what "green" means in the automotive industry today. The Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel won the award for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year, the BMW i8 was named the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year and the Ford F-150 took the 2015 Green Car Technology Award honor. There is a case to be made that the aluminum body of the new Ford truck will make a bigger impact in the overall fuel usage in the US than almost any other vehicle, given the numbers of F-150s that Ford sells each year. The B20 biodiesel-capable Jeep gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. And the i8 puts all sorts of new, fuel-saving technologies into an attractive package. Looking over the winners, and the list of finalists you can see in our photo gallery, and you can see that the definition of green is expanding every year. You can watch Green Car Journal editor Ron Cogan hand out the 2015 awards in the video below and we'll for sure be paying attention to what wins next year. 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year and Green Car Technology Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has named the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel its 2015 Green SUV of the Year™ and the BMW i8 its 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year™, with the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 earning the magazine's 2015 Green Car Technology Award™. Winners were determined by a jury of Green Car Journal editors and automotive experts. The prestigious awards were announced in Washington, D.C. today at a Green Car Awards™ press conference held during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day at the Washington Convention Center. "These are truly commendable vehicles representing the 'best-of-the-best' in so many ways," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The auto industry's very early focus on small cars and efficiency-for-environment tradeoffs has evolved to now include a more dynamic field of 'greener' models in all vehicle classes. Those wanting greater efficiency or better environmental performance are no longer constrained by limited choices or vehicle types that fall outside their top purchase preferences.
BMW i8 with 500+ horsepower in the cards?
Wed, 22 Oct 2014While BMW makes plenty of machinery to keep enthusiasts interested, its most enticing models are often based on more ordinary ones. That's what made the arrival of the i8 so captivating, emerging as the first stand-alone BMW sports coupe since the M1. But if its dual purpose - trying its best to both embrace the earth and traverse it rapidly - somehow left you disappointed, the next development could prove to fix that.
According to Automobile, BMW is working on a more potent i8S model. The hardcore version of the hybrid sports car would offer more power and a stiffened chassis to make it that much more aggressive. The Bavarian automaker is reportedly still evaluating two potential powertrain options: The first would pair a 2.0-liter twin-turbo four-cylinder good for 320 horsepower to an electric motor with another 204 hp. The second would use a 3.0-liter straight six with 480 hp and an electric motor with 109 hp. Both would be mated to a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission and an integrated starter motor packing an extra 27 hp.
Either way, we'd be looking at a combined output well in excess of 500 horsepower - far more than the existing i8's 228-hp turbo three and 129-hp electric motor - dropping the 0-62 time down from 4.1 seconds to an estimated 3.5. Couple that to a more advanced carbon chassis, wider tires and other goodies, and the i8 would be transformed into a far more capable performance machine than it already is.
Next BMW X1 caught on flatbed
Tue, 17 Sep 2013The X1 had been around for four years before it was added to BMW's US lineup, so it isn't all that surprising that a new version of the company's smallest Sport Activity Vehicle is already in the works. Captured in transit on the back of a flatbed truck, these spy shots give us our first look at the next-gen X1 - codenamed F48 - which is expected to debut around 2015.
While the camouflage does a good job of obscuring most of the styling elements, we definitely see evidence of the X1's new platform. Elements like the loss of the long nose and a noticeably shrunken dash-axle gap (just compare this spy shot picture to this one from our X1 review), are good indicators that the next X1 will move to the new front-wheel-drive platform BMW is using for the new Mini and 1 Series GT. Aside from this, the overall shape is very similar to the current design, but we're sure it will pull many cues from the updated range of BMW products.
