2003 Volkswagen Tdi Golf 2 Door 17/22,r520,fmic,3" Exhaust,~180hp/~310tq,50+mpg on 2040-cars
Montgomery, Texas, United States
This has been my daily driver for the past five years and as such will show it's 11 years and 170k miles on it. With that said though, I take very good care of my cars and this one has not been an exception. When I originally purchased it I swapped out just about everything that was rubber or rotated and then started adding on the power and handling mods. The car plus mod list easily went over $20k and was worth every penny of it. With the proper tires on it (not LRR) it can almost hang with a Mini Cooper S on the track (~3sec / lap slower at H2R). Yet when you leave it on the street it can still pull out 800 miles per tank of fuel and I regularly get 55-58mpg driving to work with the cruise set to 65mph. It averages 50mpg per tank as long as you drive nicely, yet you don't have to hyper-mile or do anything other than set the cruise to the speed limit.
The 2003 is also the last year of the old 2 door TDI cars, yet the first year of the power windows and locks on them. It took me almost a year to find this car back when I got it due to the fact I wanted a 2 door car with power windows. Just not that many of them out there. If you are looking for a boring stock TDI this is not the car for you. Please read up on the mods before even thinking of purchasing. I haven't done anything radical to it that would affect its drive-ability, but please don't expect to buy it for KBB or what you found on craigslist for a jacked up 300k mile 4 door beater with a salvaged title... But, it also is not a show car and does need a few things if you want it to look and drive like new. Headliner and door cards are starting to bubble from the heat and glue taking their toll on the foam padding. Airbag light recently came on and is not turning off, in the past it has had a slight grind when shifting from 1st to 2nd at the higher end of the rpm range. Paint is peeling off of one hubcap. Quite a few rock chips and dings all visible in the photos. I'm quite honest with condition of items, so if you have questions don't hesitate to ask. Leave your number in a message to me and I will give you a call to go over everything that I have ran across in the past five years. Not that it matters, but I am only getting rid of the car for something a bit larger and more comfortable. I do have the car listed in other places and reserve the right to pull the ad at any time should it sell. On to the parts list; The below items are just off my spreadsheet of parts/prices, but they do show probably 95% of what has been done to the car and everything is currently installed.

Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
BMW names new CEO, chairman and head of development
Tue, Dec 9 2014Big changes are afoot in the top ranks at BMW, as the Bavarian automaker has announced not just one, but several appointments in the top floors of its towering headquarters in Munich in what the company itself is referring as "a generational change" in its leadership. The biggest change relates to the chairman of BMW's management board – German-speak for the company's chief executive officer. Effective at the end of the company's Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2015, the company will be run by Harald Kruger. The 49-year-old mechanical engineer has been with BMW since 1992 and has sat on its board since 2008, and has until now been responsible for production for the entire BMW Group. The chairmanship of the board of management currently belongs to Dr. Norbert Reithofer, whom the management is endorsing to chair the supervisory board (which Americans might call the board of directors). That role in turn is currently held by Professor Joachim Milberg, who will step down from his position in order to make way for Reithofer to take his place. Milberg is earmarked to remain with the company to oversee its corporate social responsibility and charitable activities. BMW has also announced the appointment of Klaus Frohlich to serve as its head of development with immediate effect. In his new capacity, Frohlich replaces Dr. Herbert Diess, who in turn has left Munich to take over the Volkswagen passenger car division. Below you'll find statements from both BMW and VW on their new appointments. BMW Group takes steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board 09.12.2014 - Harald Kruger to become Chairman of the Board of Management in May 2015 - Dr. Norbert Reithofer proposed to succeed as Chairman of the Supervisory Board - Prof. Joachim Milberg to take leading role in the BMW Group's worldwide CSR activities and charitable foundations - Klaus Frohlich appointed to Board of Management with responsibility for Development Munich . At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of BMW AG took the first steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the company's Board of Management and Supervisory Board. Harald Kruger will become Chairman of the Board of Management effective the end of the Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2015. The current Chairman of the Board of Management, Dr. Norbert Reithofer, will be put forward for election to the Supervisory Board at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.
VW close to decision on selling Bugatti to Rimac
Sun, Feb 21 2021FRANKFURT — Electric hypercar maker Rimac Automobili and Volkswagen's supercar brand Bugatti are a good technological fit, Porsche's CEO told German weekly Automobilwoche, fueling hopes that a deal between the two could happen soon. British automotive magazine Car last year reported that Volkswagen was on the verge of selling Bugatti to Rimac Automobili, citing sources. In exchange, Porsche, also owned by Volkswagen, would raise the 15.5% stake it owns in Rimac, founded by Croatian entrepreneur Mate Rimac, Car said. "At the moment there are intense deliberations on how Bugatti can be developed in the best possible way. Rimac could play a role here because the brands are a good technological fit," Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said. "There are various scenarios with different structures. I believe that the issue will be decided by the group in the first half of the year," said Blume, who also sits on the management board of parent Volkswagen. Rimac has developed an electric supercar platform, which he supplies to other carmakers, including Pininfarina. Blume also confirmed higher savings targets for Porsche, saying the carmaker plans to support results by 10 billion euros ($12.1 billion) of cost cuts by 2025, up from 6 billion previously.
