Ada, Michigan, United States
I've replaced the radiator and will include a new water pump (I never needed it afterall). Car doesn't overheat. Replaced the trans at about 200,000 with a used unit. Replaced shocks, thrust arms, control arms, both front wheel bearings, tie rod inner and outer, replaced what they call the rear ball joints (more like a bushing that prevents excessive camber), replaced alternator with used unit at 265,000, replaced all coils trying to solve misfire (still have a box full that go with the car). Car drives straight and smooth at high speed (when misfire fixed). Drove to Florida twice (3,600 miles round trip each time).
Amenities: Heated steering wheel Heated front seats Traction Control (The best I've ever driven with) ABS Privacy Package (Passenger rear side shades and rear power shade. Driver's side inoperable) Dark tint all around Fully Black interior including trim pieces from factory BMW Business sound system with cassette in dash and rear 6 disc changer (changer works but no sound [likely a wire loose]) Professionally installed axillary sound input (phone, ipod, etc.) Issues: Steering rack drips Misfire (likely a vacuum leak or CCV failure) Tires need to be replaced Sunroof disconnected (was jamming) Driver mirror deglazed but still functional Fan shroud missing (brittle and broke beyond repair) Hit deer last year but replaced hood and headlights. Hood does not stay latched with factory latch. Non smoking car. Nearly all miles are highway. Selling as is. VERY fixable and drivable as is or VERY valuable as parts. I've seen the exhaust or interior go for over $2,000 on ebay individually. I just don't have time or space to fix or part out. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Hyundai and Kia rethinking diesel for US, BMW i partners with Soho House
Wed, Oct 15 2014Hyundai and Kia are once again considering bringing diesel vehicles to the US. "It's something that's a strong consideration for us at this point," says John Juriga of Hyundai/Kia America. Diesel would help the group meet future fuel economy standards. While the obstacles that previously kept the brands from bringing diesel to the US in the past still exist, Juriga says they see a "more direct path" to making diesel work for them. Hyundai and Kia are also considering introducing cylinder deactivation, plug-in hybrids and 9- and 10-speed transmissions to reach fuel economy targets. Read more at Wards Auto. BMW's i division is teaming up with Soho House as its official automotive partner. BMW will provide i3 EVs for the private club's members and guests to use. The two groups will also host events together focused on art, design and innovation, beginning with an art talk called, "The Naked Truth? Nudity, fashion, and the photographic image today." According to BMW's Steven Althaus, the two brands are a great match. "BMW i and Soho House share a common mindset: both brands strive for innovation, creativity as well as a special sense for aesthetic setting new design standards," Althaus says, "What I look forward to most about our partnership is our determination to create memorable and sophisticated experiences together."

The trikes deliver food to local businesses and restaurants, a job usually done by air-polluting diesel trucks. The electric trikes feature cargo boxes that can hold 47 cubic feet or about 660 pounds of food. The trikes are stored in a shipping container fitted with solar panels, which charges them when they're not in use. By delivering food using solar and human power, Foodlogica is helping taking pollution and traffic congestion out of the "last mile" of food transport in Amsterdam.

BMW 8 Series turns 25 [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014From the very beginning, the BMW 8 Series was a head turner. It was hardly a common sight in the first place, and the angular lines and low, pointed nose made the GT look like something special on the road. It's been 25 years since the Bavarian brand's flagship coupe of the '90s debuted, and owners celebrated the anniversary in style in Germany.
The 8 Series still looks great today, but its popup headlights give away its age a little. You just don't see them anymore. It was introduced at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show as the 850i with a 5.0-liter V12 under the hood capable of 295 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. Later, even bigger V12s would find their way in there. Production lasted until 1999, but they were rather exclusive with 30,621 built in its lifetime.
To celebrate the anniversary, several BMW clubs organized 120 examples for display at the company's headquarters in Munich. The brand took advantage of the display to show off the ultimate 8 prototype as well. The one-off special packed a 550-horsepower V12 and a body with optimized aero. That engine eventually became the basis for the one in the McLaren F1.
