2009 Bmw 135i Coupe M-sport Pkg No Reserve 3.0l Twin Turbo 19" Auto Paddle Shift on 2040-cars
Peoria, Illinois, United States

So which do you think is faster 0-60, the legendary e46 M3 or the little ol' 135i? Might surprise you to learn that this pocket rocket hits 60 mph in 4.8 seconds with a hilariously under-rated 300 hp and 300 ft-lbs of torque from the twin-scroll turbocharged I-6.
This is a great opportunity to own a low mileage, fast as hell BMW for less than it would cost to buy a new Honda Civic. I purchased this car off lease from BMW of Macon. All service has been done under warranty at BMW dealerships. The first owner was an older gentleman who kept this at his summer home in Savannah, GA and barely drove it. I purchased it in 2012; I'm a college professor who has treated it like a baby since I purchased it in 2012. You'd be hard-pressed to tell that this is a used car based on the interior (black MB-Tex upholstery, aluminum trim). The exterior (Montego Blue Metallic paint) is beautiful, recently machine-polished, with minimal signs of wear and tear. No dents, no rust, no paintwork or replaced body panels. No accidents. Great audio system with AUX in and crystal clear Bluetooth phone system. M-Sport package with 19" aluminum rims and factory body kit. 41115 (may not be exact mileage when car is sold, still being driven on occasion in town). Private seller, no dealership fees. In SOME areas there are no sales taxes paid on private party sales, but that depends on your local laws. All sales taxes as well as title, license, registration, etc fees are the buyer's responsibility. I will work with the buyer to facilitate shipping if necessary, with ALL shipping costs paid by the buyer. $500 deposit required within 48 hours of purchase and remainder of payment within 5 days of auction end. NO RESERVE - high bid will take it. As a private party, I cannot accept trade-ins or offer financing - that is the responsibility of the buyer. Payment must be made in certified funds, preferably a cashier's check or wire transfer (transfer fees paid by buyer. Local pickup preferred, and I can bring the car to Peoria (PIA) or Bloomington-Normal (BMI) airports for out-of-area buyers. Questions? Please ask. However, I will NOT accept offers lower than the minimum bid, so I will not respond to those inquiries. |

Toyota, Mercedes, BMW top automakers included in List of Best Global Brands
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Interbrand, a consultancy firm, has published its 13th annual list of the best global brands. Besides seeing some shakeups at the top - Apple and Google unseated Coca-Cola (a company that has dominated the survey since its birth), the 100-item list features 14 automakers, most of which enjoyed double-digit gains in brand value.
Toyota managed to retain its spot as the study's top automaker. It finished the survey in 10th position overall (the same as last year), despite a 17-percent improvement in its brand value, from $29.33 billion to $35.34 billion. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Honda all made the top 20, at 11th, 12th and 20th place, respectively. Hopping a ways down the list, we come across Volkswagen in 34th place, up from 39th in last year's study, with a brand value of $11.12 billion, a 20-percent improvement over 2012. Ford and Hyundai round out the automakers in the top 50, at 42 and 43.
Porsche made the largest year-over-year gain of any automaker, with its brand value increasing 26 percent to $6.47 billion. Chevrolet meanwhile, cracks the list for the very first time at 89th place. As Interbrand notes, Chevy's inclusion is notable because of the sheer number of vehicles it moves for General Motors and its recent push in developing markets. The final interesting note on this survey is the position of an automaker that takes its name and logo more seriously than perhaps any other - Ferrari. The Italian exotic manufacturer finished 98th out of 100, with just $4.01 billion in brand value, a six-percent improvement over 2012.
2014 BMW 328d rated at 32/45 mpg
Wed, 31 Jul 2013BMW still hasn't released official fuel economy numbers for its diesel-powered 2014 328d, but now, those mileage ratings have been posted on the EPA's FuelEconomy.gov website. As expected, the 328d is quite an efficient little machine, with the rear-wheel-drive sedan good for 32 miles per gallon in the city and 45 mpg highway. That even bests the 30/42 mpg of the smaller Volkswagen Jetta TDI.
The last time BMW offered a diesel 3 Series in our market, it was the six-cylinder 335d, which - while mighty quick and excellent to drive - was only offered as a rear-wheel-drive sedan and was rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. For 2014, BMW will offer the 328d with optional xDrive all-wheel drive, though that reduces the fuel economy numbers to 31/43 mpg. Beyond that, the BMW will even sell you a 328d xDrive wagon, which nets the same 31/43 mpg rating, according to FuelEconomy.gov.
Look for the 2014 BMW 328d to hit dealerships this fall, and when it launches, it will be the only diesel offering in its class (until the next Mercedes-Benz C-Class arrives, anyway). Lexus and Infiniti will offer hybrid versions of the IS and Q50, respectively, but we've always had a taste for torque, and the 328d's 2.0-liter engine with 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of twist shouldn't disappoint.
China probing German automakers over spare parts
Sat, 26 Jul 2014The Chinese market has proven to be a boon to German luxury automakers. However, the way that the companies have allegedly been controlling their supply of spare parts has begun to draw the ire of the nation's government. According to insiders speaking to Bloomberg, officials from the country's economic planning organization have opened a probe into Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and some Japanese carmakers over claimed price inflation and limiting supply.
Specifically, the investigation centers around two aspects of how the companies do business, according to Bloomberg. Investigators want to know whether the original equipment component makers are able to sell spare parts only to automaker-authorized dealers or if they are also available to independent shops. There is also the issue of whether the price markup on replacement pieces is too high. The tight controls could be partially explained by China's reputation for producing counterfeit parts.
Evidently, the investigators haven't checked parts prices at car dealers elsewhere in the world. At least in the US, paying more at the dealer for factory components just goes along with owning a vehicle. If evidence of price fixing is found, the companies could face fines the equivalent of millions of dollars, according to Bloomberg.
