WOW this champion turns heads everywhere and is so fast and so smooth and handles so good it will truly amaze you. Don't be fooled by the station wagon body, this is a luxury sports car. Far advanced safety and comfort features for it's time. BMW's finest. This wagon cost over $60,000 new. Very few left in this condition so don't hesitate - you won't find another one. Clean title in hand for easy transfer.

A note about the pixels on the dash - it is not difficult nor expensive to repair. BMW acknowledged the problem and will help with the repair. You must call BMW North America and explain your issue, they will only help the registered owner, proof is required. In most cases BMW supplies the parts and the customer pays about $90 labor. It did not concern me in the least so I did not bother to get it fixed. Every BMW I have ever owned had the same issue.

I have described this car to the best of my ability. This vehicle has just passed NY State inspection and has been completely checked over by an independent mechanic. This car needed nothing. All vehicles over 100k miles and over 10 years old are sold As-Is. Sales tax may be collected depending on your location in accordance with NY state law. Absolutely no additional dealer fees will be added. Warranties are available from 3rd parties, I do not sell them, most of the time they are a rip-off. If you are a NY resident I can take your car in trade at fair KBB value and transfer your plate on the spot. The name of my dealership is "Alfred Auto Center" I encourage you to check out our reputation on Repairpal, we strive to take care of all of our customers long after the sale.

Thank You for looking at my car!

Let's keep it simple and easy - 1. You win the bid, 2. Submit a $500 non-refundable deposit via Paypal immediately, 3. I will contact you and then you will mail me a bank check via certified mail with a tracking #, 4. Once the check clears you come and get the car, title, and keys or arrange for transport.

NOTE: actual mileage will be slightly higher than shown as I drive this car regularly.

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.

BMW will show Mini EV concept at Frankfurt

Wed, Aug 30 2017

A month ago, BMW announced that it would electrify all its brands and model lines, including the Mini hatchback. A forthcoming full-electric Mini will enter production in 2019 at the Mini plant in Oxford, England, where the production line would join a German-built electric drivetrain with a British-built body. BMW notes that this will happen exactly 60 years after the original Mini hit the streets. View 5 Photos As the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show is upon us, BMW has introduced the concept version of the aforementioned electric Mini. The manufacturer says the color scheme chosen for the concept matches the previous electrified Mini, the experimental Mini E of 2008. That car was produced in a trial run of 600 units, and it provided BMW with valuable data as it was developing the i3 model, currently on the market. The Mini Electric Concept is powered by a lithium-ion battery, but no numerical specifications or range figures have been announced. It will be interesting to see whether the driving fun inherent to Minis can be translated, as a battery electric vehicle will undoubtedly be heavier than a fossil-fuel hatchback. The closed front grille stands as testament for doing without pistons or a need for engine cooling.

BMW ponders increase in i3 production capacity on early demand

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The 2014 BMW i3 is not slated to hit US showrooms until the second quarter of next year, but the response BMW has received for the all-electric hatchback has been positive enough that the automaker is already considering boosting production capacity. Bloomberg Businessweek reports that more than 8,000 customers have reserved an i3 so far, which is high, especially considering that BMW only planned to sell 10,000 i3s total in 2014.
Talking to BMW CFO Friedrich Eichiner, the report says that if the demand holds for the i3, BMW would increase capacity accordingly. The i3 goes on sale next month in Germany before a global roll out in the US, China and Japan, and with a starting price of $41,350, it is priced slightly higher than current small plug-in vehicles offered in the US like the Chevy Volt, Ford Focus Electric and Toyota Prius Plug-in, though features more use of advanced, lightweight materials.
