Hate to see it go. I put so much work and care into this car, but it was the victim of a sad accident which damaged the rear of the car and bent the frame. My loss is your gain!

Car is like new inside and other than the body damage in the rear, the rest of the body is in good condition. The hood and front bumper need paint, but otherwise the rest of the paint shines. No other body damage, other than small dings and scratches from use.

Engine has new oil filter housing gasket (a known problem on these cars) as well as new Teflon VANOS seals. Transmission was replaced by dealership (rebuilt) about 25,000 miles ago, along with a new TCU.

Car has ALL new OEM suspension arms and bushings installed in the front, along with brand new Koni FSD struts and Vogtland sport springs, and Stoptech cryo treated slotted rotors and Akebono ceramic brake pads. I also have brand new Brakes, Rotors, Koni FSD struts and Vogtland springs for the rear that have not been installed and are still sitting new in the box. I should have done the rear first, sadly that was the cause of the crash. Those parts will be included with Buy-It-Now, along with the old parts from the front.

I never raced the car, or mistreated it in any way. It was my first really "nice" car and I babied it and cared for it with love. I hope that it can be rebuilt and enjoyed again by someone who will treat it as well as I have. If not, at least its parts can live on in your car. I was going to rebuild it myself but I don't have the time or money right now, and I'd rather see it go to good use than to rot away in storage.

Car does not roll due to the damage in the rear, but can be towed on a car dolly that lifts the rear wheels up. However, a flatbed would be the best way to transport the car safely. Buyer is responsible for shipping. Car is located in zip code 70522, a rural area approximately 90 miles southwest of New Orleans.

If you have any questions or concerns at all, please feel free to contact me. Thanks and good luck!

BMW unleashes 160-hp S 1000 R streetfighter motorcycle

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

BMW Motorrad released the S 1000 RR superbike in 2010, but for those who'd like to take it down a (small) notch, the German motorcycle maker introduced the 2014 S 1000 R, a slightly less-ballsy version of the range-topping superbike, at EICMA on Tuesday.
In its transformation from 193-horsepower superbike to 160-hp sportbike, BMW detuned the 999cc inline four-cylinder engine a bit by lowering the redline from 13,000 RPM to 11,000 RPM, where peak power is made. Torque is rated at "approximately" 83 pound-feet (the RR makes 82.5 lb-ft), but more importantly, engineers tweaked the torque delivery in the R's favor by redesigning the cylinder-head ducts, modifying the camshaft profiles and reprogramming the engine management system. The result is seven lb-ft more torque than the RR up to 7,500 RPM. The R's torque peak occurs at 9,250 RPM.
The bike comes standard with ASC (automatic stability control) and "Race" ABS. Riders can choose between two modes, "Road" and "Rain," which adjust ABS and ASC settings to suit dry or wet roads. DTC (dynamic traction control) is available as an option, and with two modes, "Dynamic" and "Dynamic Pro," the system optimizes traction and helps riders achieve maximum acceleration.

2015 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

It's hard to say what a coupe is anymore. Is it merely a car with two doors? Does it have to have an arching roofline? Do frameless windows count for anything? Can a five-door hatchback or even an SUV be a coupe? At some point in the last few years, nearly everything we thought made a coupe a coupe has been challenged by something that calls itself a coupe, but to most people isn't. Our friends at BMW have led most of this line of questioning.
The new 2015 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is one of the latest Bimmers to challenge the moniker (which also challenges the idea of "Gran," for that matter), and unlike some of its other "coupe" variations - we're looking at you, X6 - this one is a pretty one. The 4 Series Gran Coupe is essentially a four-door version of the 4 Series, which is itself a two-door version of the 3 Series. Huh? Wouldn't that simply make it another 3 Series? Of course, but this one is prettier, as it uses the 4's sexier body styling, with its lower nose, wider-looking stance and edgier lighting graphics. It is also technically a five-door hatchback, not a sedan per se, and it utilizes frameless side door glass, which apparently does count for something in BMW coupe-land. Significantly, the 4 Gran Coupe's wheelbase is identical to the two-door; if it was longer - as is the case with the 3 Series and 5 Series hatchbacks - that might make it a "Gran Turismo." Confused yet?
We recently got our first chance to drive the 4 Series Gran Coupe at a press launch in Spain, and while the only version we were given was a rear-drive 428i Gran Coupe with the M Sport contents, the harrowing roads around Bilbao gave us a good idea of what this car is all about from a driving dynamics standpoint. Here's some of what we found:

BMW 2 Series Convertible goes for a drive in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

The BMW 2 Series is the car that will eventually replace the 1 Series here in the United States (remember: the 1 Series moniker will live on to describe the hatchback models in other markets), and while we've seen the new coupe out on the prowl, we're now seeing the droptop version out on the road. We don't have much information about the new 2er models, only that they are expected to bow sometime in 2014.
Dimensionally, the new 2 Series convertible looks very similar in size to its outgoing 1 Series kin, with things like the roofline and roof shape looking nearly identical. Of course, reworked front and rear fascias are immediately noticeable, and judging by what little we can see, it appears as though the small BMW will take many of its design cues from the larger 3 Series rather than the oft-awkward-looking 1 Series hatch that's currently available in Europe.
Assuming things are still on track for 2014, we won't rule out a possible debut in Geneva, though the Frankfurt expo in September makes even more sense.
