Up for bids is a pretty rare color combo, I have been told for M3 Convertibles; bought it from a guy that was strapped for cash; this was his baby and after looking at all the high def pics that I have put up for your viewing it appears that it very well was. As far as service, I know that he had most all of his work done at BMW in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, Orr BMW in Shreveport, LA or at Hixon BMW in Monroe, La. (pics of some of the serviced tickets provided.), LA. When I  took possession of this car it was in need of some maintenance issues and I have taken care of all of them. The oil change was done with that expensive Castrol 10-90 and there is about 13k left before it will need it again; the tires on the rear of these cars, I am told, wear out first and I have put new Bridgestone Potenzas on the back; the front ones are Yokahama and the dealer said that they had about 5k more left before replacement; (he said about Christmas time.) The brakes were in need of replacement and I have replaced the front pads and rotors; the rear pads were replaced last year and had well over 3/4 life left in them; the rear rotors, which function as only assistance with braking were inspected by the mechanic and are in very good shape. On the history of this vehicle, he bought it at 31k and drove it the balance of the 69k. 80% of the miles are road miles on I-20 and I-10; I knew that this car was pristine when I bought it due to his attention to maintaining it, caring for the finish and treating the leather. (he said that he used Surf City Garage leather conditioner every 2-3 weeks.). This vehicle may have a warranty in place due to a recall situation thru BMW; that is something that I have been informed of but have no time to research. As far as I am concerned it is sold as is by me. I have not driven this vehicle extensively but I cannot tell you how well that this car handles and performs. It will set you back in the seat on acceleration and stop on a dime and hand you 9 cents back in change. The ride is not smooth but I was told that this is the norm for these vehicles. It is a 6-speed car and not that SMG type that has been giving all the trouble that I have read about. It shifts perfectly and seamlessly and the clutch engages well; a testament to highway driving I guess. There are no service or warning lights on the dash and it has fewer than average front facia road debris chips. The paint, as you can see is a very high gloss finish and it has a set of high end Lorenzo rims that he had a custom paint job done to match the car. This car is a real performer and head turner. I have taken a pic of the new brakes before and after install but none of the rear ones. In the way of add-ons, there are BMW M style pedals installed on the brake, clutch and footrest he put in new BMW M3 floormats and it does have a BMW trunk mat and there are BMW rubber mats with the car for the front only;. It has a high end Alpine stereo along with a Sirrius receiver that has been inactivated; there is an I-Pod cable in the glove box and he had MB Quart speakers put in the doors; I am not a stereo guy but they sound awesome. I may be able to get my hands on the factory one but am unsure if it is in working order; I understand that the Alpine unit is head and shoulders above the BMW one. All interior accessories are in working order and the interior is beautiful with no wear spots or stains; there is some wear on the bolster where you get in and out but I am told this is normal; I did try the sport button,and it turns this car into a rocket; I just can't describe it and you would have to drive it to appreciate it. It comes with a full set of BMW trunk tools, and extra key but I could not locate the service manuals. They are available on E-Bay for about 60.00 if you want them. If you want a well serviced rocket to drive that will turn heads at every corner, this is it; I have a friend of mine that checked the wholesale auction scene on these cars and they are going under the hammer for 13 to 14k wholesale. All I can tell you is bid according to the condition and the info I have provided you. Ask questions if genuinely interested; I am on the road a lot and will try to answer them as best as I can or attempt to find out from the previous owner. Thanks for looking and let the bidding start.

Recharge Wrap-up: E15 could help smog woes, MPG average at all-time high

Fri, Sep 5 2014

A new study shows that using an E15 blend instead of regular gasoline would reduce smog in Chicago. Increasing the availability of the 15-percent ethanol blend could help reduce carcinogenic air pollution and improve air quality, particularly on the city's South Side. The study found that E15 reduces the risk of cancer by 6.6 percent. It also reduces greenhouse gas emissions 1.5 percent compared to a 10-percent ethanol blend. Read more at Domestic Fuel.

BMW Vision Future Luxury Concept is bold and beautiful in Beijing

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

BMW officially unveiled the Vision Future Luxury Concept today (or is it tomorrow?) at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, giving the world's media an in-the-flesh look at not only a future design theme for the brand, but a rumored flagship model.
This is a looker in person, thanks to its Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe-inspired design, and it's not too difficult to imagine it in production car form, with smaller wheels, larger mirrors and the other minor transformations that take place from drawing board, to auto show and, finally, to assembly line. In general, it seems like there are more than a few parts of this vehicle that are ready for production.
We didn't talk about it in our initial post, but it bears mentioning that this particular concept is wearing an eDrive badge on its backside, indicating that under the Vision Future Luxury's long hood is some form of plug-in-hybrid propulsion. It's anyone's guess as to what engine, battery and motor combinations BMW is playing with, although it does seem questionable whether BMW would launch a PHEV flagship to do battle with a top-rung variant of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (which will likely use V12 power).
