First, the good.
- This car is a lot of fun to drive. Since you're looking at this, you probably already know that.
- It corners like it is on rails and can stop on a dime. (see above)
- It is also a color that does not arise the suspicion of your local law enforcement.
- It comes with a manual, two keys, and a large pile of receipts for parts purchased and repairs done.
- I don't think the spare tire has ever been on the ground.
- The engine has about 60k miles on it, but we'll get to that in a minute.
- It also has heated seats, xenon headlights, and triptronic transmission.
- The instrument cluster was replaced in 2006, it has no burnt out pixels.
- The battery was replaced last year.
This car has a rebuilt title. I bought the car from a place that sells rebuildable cars. When I bought this, there was a hole through the engine. Normally an exploded engine does not make a salvage title. I have no idea why it was salvage. I've been all around the car and have seen no evidence of flood, fire, structural damage, etc. The engine that is in is fully cast-iron sleeved.
Now onto the not so good:
- The front wheels were peeling, so i had them stripped and powder coated. They are not the exact same color as the rear. See the pictures.
- The air bag light comes on when it is cold out.
- When you first start the car up and drive away, the shift into 3rd gear is a little weird, but it has been that way for several years and never caused me any problems. Most people do not notice it.
- The car has a very low idle when it is warmed up, and stalls sometimes. It always restarts, but this is quite aggravating. I understand that you can take it to the dealer and have the idle increased. The low idle problem seems to happen to some of these cars.
- There are two cylinders that have low compression, but only when warmed up. This may be causing the low idle problem.
- The car was in a fender bender last winter, so it has a new front bumper, repaired front fender, and a replaced headlight.
- The car leaks a little oil. It looks like it is coming from the rear main seal, but it is not. The valve cover gasket leaks a little and the oil runs down the back of the engine. I have replacement gaskets and I'll throw that in as well.
- The left rear suspension has a creak sometimes. I have the part to fix it as well.
- The tape deck does not work.
- The Navigation computer is missing the CD.
Please call my cell with questions or if you want to go for a test drive. 574-596-3601. The vehicle is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to remove this listing at any time.

BMW X1 EV for Zinoro spotted
Tue, 04 Jun 2013BMW has teamed up with Chinese automaker Brilliance Automotive to create a joint venture in China, called Zinoro, and it appears that an all-electric version of the X1 crossover is to be the brand's first model. Spotted testing in Munich, these spy shots show a more camouflaged version of the X1 EV that we saw back in April.
Comparing these latest spy shots, we can see that the Zinoro model will wear a completely unique front fascia that ditches BMW's trademark grille, but few other changes seem to be taking place. Previous reports indicate that this Zinoro EV could go on sale in China early next year.

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon
Thu, Sep 22 2022If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024.

It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.
