2001 Bmw M Roadster S54 -low Miles! No Reserve! Private Seller on 2040-cars
Batavia, Illinois, United States
NO RESERVE, HIGH BID WINS! 2001 BMW M Roadster with less than 71,000 miles. My retired father's car, selling due to health reasons. Starts, Runs, and Drives excellently! Very fun and fast! Never, ever seen salt or snow, fair weather driven only. Been driving less and less each year and now is time to sell. Garage kept and stored during winter season(s) Purchased several years ago from company CEO in Florida. New stuff- less than 1,000 miles
Newer stuff- last couple seasons
Car is bone stock original, no aftermarket accessories, exhaust, or performance parts installed. (still has the "business" stereo) I would personally rate the car as very good condition, not perfect, museum, or mint condition, but very good to excellent for its age. I will try to list all known quirks below: Driver's seat bolster shows wear (they all do), has marks on rim from shop who installed the new tires, drivers front bumper has small area of blotchy clear coat fade? (see picture, not impact or scuff), few other very minor blemishes but no dents, dings, or deep scratches, very few rock chips. Rear window little hazy but not bad (told zips in/out, $100 online??), Exhaust seems little buzzy to me intermittently but BMW said is normal raspy note at higher rpms. (maybe loose heat shield, may be nothing??) Please ask before bidding, car is available for inspection for serious buyers only, please don't waste either of our time if you are not prepared to follow thru with purchase.

Mini Vision Next 100 Concept: It's the autonomy, stupid
Thu, Jun 16 2016The concepts that Mini and Rolls-Royce showed off today – the Vision Next 100 Concept and 103EX, respectively – are all about autonomy. The Rolls-Royce doesn't even have a place for a "driver." And even though both are very much blue sky concepts, corporate parent BMW thinks it will make fully-autonomous cars within the next five years. That's according to Peter Schwarzenbauer, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, MINI, BMW Motorrad, Rolls-Royce, and Aftersales BMW Group, who also told us that both cars, at least in concept, are fully electric. The Rolls-Royce has dual-drive, 250kw motors mounted fore-and aft, on front and rear axles. While the Rolls is clearly a luxury concept for the monied few, the Mini is very much focused on a shared economy. Holger Hampf, Head of User Experience, BMW Group, said the chief design challenge of a car-sharing world is producing a car that could in theory mean different things to different borrowers. You get exclusivity because each car would morph according to the borrower's desires. BMW/Mini already have a car-sharing program in London called DriveNow, and a pilot program in Seattle called ReachNow, focused on the idea of shared exclusivity. ReachNow, which allows Mini/BMW owners to lend their cars out in an AirBnB-type scheme or to borrow "fleet-style cars," are immutable – however the car that was ordered is what the borrower or the owner will get. That's great if you're the owner, but it's also challenging for both anyone who'd buy that car used or for anyone borrowing the car. And if the future of most cars is a shared model (Ford is now offering multi-person leases among up to six buyers in a pilot program in Austin, Texas), customization is impossible. The result is what Schwarzenbauer derogatorily calls "normed." He says carmakers have to relearn to brand for a world where ownership is devalued but customization is key. To that end the MINI VISION NEXT 100 is "skinned." We've seen this before with the BMW NEXT concept that was revealed at the NY Auto Show this past spring, and the idea is to use the exterior of the car as a canvass that changes according to setting. Indeed Mini envisions that in a multi-driver household, the vehicle's customization could easily include changing colors according to driver preference – automatically. Dr.

Excavator in China bashes BMW and Jeep out of the way
Tue, Jun 2 2015This Chinese construction site apparently has a zero tolerance policy towards obstacles getting in the way of work. When blocked by a Jeep and a BMW, the operator of this excavator pushes the two vehicles out of the way like they're toys. The Bimmer gets the brunt of the abuse, with the sedan getting lodged up against a fence. The exact context of this clip isn't entirely known, but The Mirror in Britain speculates the vehicles are illegally parked. But that doesn't explain why the excavator crashes through a gate later in the video. Also, this doesn't appear to be the case of a rogue operator taking out some frustrations, because a man with a walkie-talkie is leading the way and seemingly directing the destruction. Nonetheless, getting permission to knock these cars around was probably the highlight of this driver's day. News Source: The Mirror, AOL On BMW Jeep Crossover Videos Sedan
