Hi and thanks for looking!
Up for Auction is a 1976 BMW 530i White in color. The body and interior is in excellent condition. I do not have too much information other than what the previous owner said that "the vehicle was running after he did a lot of work to it. He rebuilt the transmission, but broke down with an unknown engine problem on 12/06/12." I cannot verify this information but can tell that the vehicle has been well cared for. The vehicle is located in Barstow, Ca 92311. I encourage you to come see it for yourself before you bid. The key is with the vehicle. The odometer reads 150,246 It has a crank sunroof, a clean interior, BMW factory rims, a built in tool kit in trunk (some tools inside) and much more. This vehicle is a rare find to someone passionate about the classic BMW.
Please feel free to email with any additional questions or to arrange a time to come inspect the vehicle.
Sold AS IS-
No Reserve Auction!! Serious Bidders only please..
**Detailed Information**
I am the owner of a towing company, and on 12/06/12 we recieved a request for a tow from the owner of the BMW. He broke down traveling through Barstow heading back to Utah. He requested that we store the vehicle until he figured out what he wanted to do about getting it back home. He signed over the title to the vehicle to settle his towing bill rather than having towed back to Utah. He mentioned that he had just put a lot of work into the vehicle and mentioned that he had just had the transmission re-built. I placed a lien on the vehicle when it arrived to our facility and it has since cleared. I have the completed lien packet as well as the signed title from Utah. The vehicle was plated in the state of Utah, so I am unsure if there are any outstanding registration fees, smog due, etc. California does have record of the vehicle being registered but that was back in 1996 and it showed a smog request for 1999. When the key is turned, the engine does not crank, the lights come on and that is it. I am unsure if the car needs a new engine or not. The only thing that I am sure of is that this vehicle looks way too good for me to send to the junk yard for recycling.
Again from the naked eye this vehicle looks great, but I would still ask that you come take a look for yourself before you bid so that you are sure the vehicle meets your standards, as it is being sold in "AS IS" condition.
This vehicle did just finish an auction however, it was purchased with by a new ebay member with 0 feedback who never responded after the sale. Please note** since listing the item I had 3 people come look at the vehicle in person, but I held fast to keeping true to the auction style listing and requested that they place a bid...please only bid if you are a serious bidder. Thank you!

Company car offers in decline, but not at The Cheesecake Factory [w/poll]
Sat, 22 Jun 2013As businesses look to keep high-level employees happy, it seems that use of company cars can still be an effective method, although fewer companies are employing it. According to Businessweek, only about 25 percent of companies offer company vehicles as a perk, while less than half give allowances for employees to use their personal vehicles for work purposes.
The report says that one business still in the practice of handing out company cars is The Cheesecake Factory, which offers the benefit to top managers. And we're not talking about some econobox, either. The article indicates the restaurant chain hands out BMWs on a three-year basis - although the company's own report says that the type of vehicle "varies with the executive's level."
Still, we mostly agree with the article's conclusion that money is the best way to keep employees or attract new ones, even if a corporate car is a big perk. What do you think? Let us know, in the poll below, whether a company car could sway you to work for a certain company (not just the Cheesecake factory, where the "Glamburgers" portion of the menu alone is enough to keep a guy hanging around).
BMW Smart Charging App helps drivers charge for less
Tue, Jun 10 2014As electric vehicles proliferate and people try to conserve energy, moves toward smart charging seem only natural. Now, BMW is offering smarter charging, and it should mean more money in the pockets of its customers when they charge at home. BMW owners who drive one of the company's i vehicles will be able to use the BMW Smart Charging App that taps into a national energy rate database (powered by Genability) to allow drivers to automate charging during off-peak hours when electricity usage costs are lower. Charging vehicles at these lower rates could save drivers as much as $400 a year, BMW says. It's a simple idea, but one that could make BMW's EVs even more attractive to potential customers. The BMW Smart Charging App is initially available to customers who have leased a BMW ActiveE from the company's 2012 test fleet, a group whom BMW dubs Electronauts, and many of whom are also early adopters of the BMW i3. The app will then become available to all BMW i3 and i8 customers beginning in 2015. The Smart Charging App is integrated with the BMW i Remote App, which links with the BMW ConnectedDrive interface to also allow drivers to monitor charging times and vehicle status, adjust charging settings and even adjust vehicle temperature so the car is ready before the driver gets in the vehicle. The Smart Charging App is available for iOS and Android devices. Find more information in the press release from BMW below. BMW Launches First App to Automate the Home Charging Process for BMW i Electric Vehicles. 09.06.2014 BMW Smart Charging App Determines Optimal Times for Charging Electric Vehicles Based on Rates and Calculates Cost. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – June 9, 2014... The new BMW Smart Charging App makes it possible for BMW i customers to automatically identify the best rates and times for charging their electric vehicles at home. Developed by the BMW Group and available for Android and iOS devices, the BMW Smart Charging App is integrated with the BMW i Remote App, which allows drivers to get vehicle information via their smartphone. The BMW Smart Charging App has the potential to save customers as much as $400 annually on their electric bills. BMW is the first automotive manufacturer to offer this automated and fully integrated functionality. In its initial phase, the BMW Smart Charging App is currently available to BMW Electronauts.
BMW planning six-cylinder i9 hybrid to celebrate centenary?
Mon, 28 Jul 2014On the prospect of a new BMW M1 based on the company's new i8 hybrid, the jury has been in and out so much that we can't even tell which way it's likely to go. However, the latest reports coming in from Germany suggest that BMW may have something else up its sleeves. Rather than make a conventional gas-powered version of the i8, Germany's Auto Motor und Sport says BMW will make a more powerful one.
Tentatively dubbed i9, the hybrid sports car is rumored to pack a six-cylinder internal-combustion engine instead of the i8's turbo three. Coupled to more potent electric motors, it would figure to produce even more than the 357 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque already on tap in the i8, with further weight reductions to offset the bulkier engine.
Auto Motor und Sport says the mooted model will be produced to celebrate the Bavarian automaker's 100th anniversary and eclipse the i8's performance, with a projected 0-60 run in under four seconds en-route to taking the gloves off to crunch the Autobahn in electric bliss. The new i flagship would be another member of the company's growing electrified family, joining the existing i3 hatchback, upcoming i5 minivan and possible i8 Spyder down the line.
