Condition:

Pictures were taken today.  Car is in great shape inside and out.  No rust or salt issues, apparent door dings.  Non smoker car.  Paint is shiny, has minor swirl marks but still in good shape and kept in wax.  Scuff on front bumper touched up from parking curb.  Scuff in center of rear bumper from garage door hinge scraping the car.

Steering wheel is in perfect shape with no shiny or scuffs.  Rear seats are in great shape.

Engine is quiet, transmission shifts great and suspension has no issues of any kind.  Shocks are built to go the long haul and work perfectly.

Have original books and some documents.  We have 1 key.

Minor creasing / cracking on driver leather near thigh - see picture.  Minor scuffs around ignition from key chain.  Minor scuffs on center shift console.  Trunk grocery holder plastic panels are not 100%.  We never used this after getting the rubber floor mat.

Intermittent issue:

Lift gate power open feature will *sometimes* try to open and drop closed.  It opens fine when you use the button on the lid.  No error codes, just have to retry or lift on gate.


This was our trip car for vacation road trips and utility, but we are not using it as much as we thought and can get by without it.

This car has strong performance with the high output version of BMWs bread and butter engine making 255 horsepower mated to a 6 speed steptronic transmission with sport mode which makes surprisingly capable yet reliable and inexpensive to maintain.

2014 BMW M5 facelift shows up online

Tue, 14 May 2013

Is it that time already? Like its predecessors, the current BMW M5 has been endangering US licenses since it first went on sale here in 2012, but its design became a known quantity back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Apparently that also means that the F10 generation has already grown tired enough to the "Must Have Latest Set" who can afford these sorts of super saloons that a facelift is in order.
If these leaked images sourced from Autocar are anything to go by, BMW stylists have used a predictably light hand to rework their hottest 5 Series, with a revised grille that echoes the M6 along with modestly resculpted headlamps. The rear end appears wholly unaltered. Interior changes gleaned from a look at the cabin photos include an updated touchpad-equipped iDrive controller and a new steering wheel cribbed from the M6.
No new word on changes to the 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 powertrain, but in late April, we heard that BMW was readying new competition packages for the M5 and M6. The packages are said to include 15 more horsepower, revised suspension and steering, along with new wheels and blackened exhaust tips. Given that BMW is known for habitually underrating its cars' horsepower outputs (particularly its M models) we can't help but wonder if its engineers will need to do anything other than wave a magic wand to corral those extra ponies underhood...

Morgan Plus 8 Speedster hits the track versus BMW R Nine T

Mon, Sep 29 2014

Evo is back at it with its car-versus-bike races, following up on the all-British Jaguar/Triumph battle from last weekend with an (almost) all-BMW affair, pitting the German brand's stylish and vintage-looking R Nine T against the British-built, BMW-powered Morgan Plus 8 Speedster. Unlike last week's battle, though, we're guessing this contest will be quite a bit more even. See, the F-Type had 380 horsepower and plenty of body fat to haul about. The Morgan, though, is nearly as powerful (367 ponies) and is far lighter, at around 2,200 pounds. The BMW, meanwhile, isn't quite the track star that the lightweight Triumph Street Triple R. You'll need to check out the video to see whether two wheels or four wheels will prevail. Have a look. News Source: EVO via YouTube BMW Convertible Motorcycle Performance Videos evo

BMW M3 gets the video retrospective treatment

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

With BMW on the cusp of pulling back the sheets on its next-generation M3 (or should we say, M4?), the crew from Electric Federal has taken it upon themselves to give us a generation-by-generation look at the evolution of the most renowned of BMW's sports coupes. The video below features plenty of beautiful shots of each generation of M3, starting with the ever lust-worthy E30 before finishing up with the current iteration. BWS Motorsport's Mark Norris provides the narration, complete with a brief synopsis of what makes each generation so special.
As usual, the clip is fit for big-screen viewing. You can watch the action below for yourself. Meanwhile, we'll be busy figuring out which vital organs we can sell to get our hands on our own E30 M3.
