This car has been repainted and upholstered in the eighteen years that I have owned it and has never been in any accident. It has been stored in a roofed area for as long as I have owned it and is free of rust. This car's 4 gear transmission has been replaced with the 5 gear transmission of a BMW 325 for improved performance and motor longevity, but it did not lead to any changes in the car's body. As a result of this modification, this car's handling improved considerably, as did its fuel efficiency. The interior, which was originally vinyl was replaced with leather, but kept the same design. The car's ignition was replaced with an electronic one, and the points have been changed out as well. The original rims were also replaced with a set of 3-piece BBS rims and its current tires have about 800 miles on them. I am still in possession of the original rims should you want them, but they are not complete with tires. This car's bumpers have also been replaced with their chromed steel European variant, done in such a way that one can still switch back to the original ones. I can also provide you with the original rims if you prefer them. This car still has the original radio, with speakers below the seats to avoid cutting the inner door panels. Pictured you will see a small crack in the windshield, I haven't changed it as I have not found an original replacement. Also pictured are some cracks in the dashboard, which are normally unseen due to a cover. You will also see in the pictures that this car is not using its original air filter, but I do have it if you prefer it. Included also is the owner's manual, with proof of dealer maintenance for approximately the first three years of ownership. As of this listing, I cannot say for certain how many miles worth of service this car received, but if you are interested, I'd be happy to look in to it for you. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have surrounding this car. Thank you.

Upcoming new BMW X6 leaks out ahead of full reveal
Thu, 05 Jun 2014The X5 may have been the first BMW crossover on the market when it arrived in 2000, opening the door to more high-riding Bavarians to follow, but it's been replaced twice over now. The X3 is on its second generation, and with the X1 having been introduced in 2009 and the X4 soon to hit showrooms, that makes the X6 - introduced in 2008 - the oldest crossover in the BMW lineup. But it won't be for much longer.
Soon BMW will reveal the all-new X6, based on the latest X5 but with that tell-tale slanted roofline. But before it gets the chance, a handful of images have leaked their way all over the Internet to give us an advance look at what to expect.
The overall shape of the new X6 comes across as familiar, if a bit less of an awkward take on the vehicle that (for better or worse) launched the crossover coupe segment. Up front the twin kidney grilles and headlights are larger, in keeping with the latest BMW design language, and the bumper less horizontal and more dynamic. Towards the back there's a sharp crease above the wheel arch blending into the more rakishly shaped tail lights, while the metallic vent behind the front wheel arch lends the flank an even sportier appearance.
BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe spotted wearing minimal camo, M Sport pack
Mon, 14 Oct 2013The new BMW 4 Series is essentially the coupe version of the latest 3 Series. So it would stand to reason that the four-door version of the 4 Series, in turn, would be the 3 Series - right? Well, yes and no.
Just as BMW offers both a 5 Series sedan and a four-door version of the 6 Series called the Gran Coupe, so, too, will its 4-Series family expand. So following the release of the new 4 Series Convertible, here we have the latest batch of spy shots showing the upcoming 4 Series Gran Coupe - which in turn should not be confused with the hunchbacked 3 Series Gran Turismo, which is more of a sporty wagon than a four-door coupe.
The nearly ready test vehicle pictured here is wearing only minimal camouflage to hide some last few details, but also appears to be wearing the M Sport package that will bridge the gap (at least, visually speaking) between the base models and the M4 Gran Coupe that is all but certain to follow.
BMW NA president says i3 beats Tesla EVs thanks to lighter all-around footprint
Wed, Jan 29 2014Those waiting for a full-out brawl between Tesla Motors head Elon Musk and BMW North America chief Ludwig Willisch will have to wait a bit. For the bloodthirsty, there are signs of some healthy competition and a little bit of green-car sniping between the two automakers. Willisch, speaking at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month and responding to questions about Tesla, noted (without mentioning that company by name) that the production process of the German automaker's i3 plug-in was "greener" than any other. According to Business Insider, Willisch highlighted the fully recyclable materials used to construct the i3 as well as the hydropower used at the carbon fiber plant in Moses Lake, WA. Willisch also noted that the Tesla Model S is "very heavy on the braking. Our car feels just like a normal car. That's a big difference when it comes to driving," Automotive News said in a separate report. The latter model weighs about a third less than the Tesla, though it also has an EV range about a third as big. The BMW executive did allow that the Tesla did make a good proverbial "snowplow," not for its driving characteristics but for its ability to get more people conformable with electric vehicle technology. Musk was asked about the i3 in an August conference call and laughed before noting that the i3 had "room to improve." No word on whether Musk and Willisch will be sending each other Valentine's Day cards next month.
