I bought the car with 77k on it from the 2nd owner, it now has 92,975 on it. I only drive it on weekends anymore and need money for a mortgage down payment. This is a low-reserve auction, especially for such an amazing, well taken care of car. Please contact me if you have any questions. I have listed the bad points early and I have done my best to describe this vehicle to the fullest. I own an automotive performance facility that specializes in BMW's so rest assured, aside from the defects I list, this car is completely sound. This vehicle is being sold as-is with no warranty, with all defects, and I reserve the right to end the auction early as it is for sale through other channels.

I welcome pre-bid inspections

Bad points.

-Sunroof retracting tab is broken, thus the sunroof doesn't work. Doesn't leak or make any weird noises, it is just closed and I leave it that way. Never bothered me.

-Left front bumper reflector is cracked.

-Deck lid tail light lenses are faded, as is the M3 badge in the fender louvre.

-Car was involved in an accident before my ownership, left front fender and wheel were replaced as per the car fax. I own a body shop and thought the repairs to be sufficient. No inner fender or frame damage, cosmetic only. Takes an alignment no problem.

-Transmission has a slight grind going into third gear on heavy acceleration or heavy downshifting. It doesn't grind during around town driving or shifting below 4k Rpms.

-Dent behind driver door low on quarter panel

-Rocker moldings somewhat stained

-Wheels aren't in the best cosmetic shape, previous owner has some curbage and clearcoat peel. They are not cracked or repaired and they spin over true, I am very particular about vibration and this car is absolutely calm and poised at 50, 80, 110, or 140 (haven't gone much faster than that, lol), zero vibration in the wheel or the seat.

-Interior A-Pillar and C-Pillar cover is pulling slightly, very common with these cars and barely noticeable.

BMW: Newfangled Idea

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Former Today Show hosts Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel joined the all-new BMW i3 for its 2015 Super Bowl spot. The 60-second spot harkens back to the pair's bewilderment over the Internet way back in 1994, before cutting to the revolutionary electric Bimmer, which elicits a similarly perplexed reaction. It's a clever spot for BMW, tying its perhaps misunderstood EV to another formerly unfamiliar piece of tech. We're no strangers to the i3, but if you are, check out our detailed review on the electric hatch.

2015 BMW X6 keeps it weird

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Say what you will about the BMW X6 - odd and ugly as it may be, it's actually been sort of successful for the German automaker. BMW has now sold some 250,000 examples of the X6 since its launch, and the company's fastback-crossover-coupe-whatever-thing gets a host of meaningful updates for the 2015 model year while not straying from its original mission.
Aside from its revised styling, most noticeably set apart by its larger, X5-inspired headlamps, the biggest update for the US-spec X6 is the addition of a rear-wheel-drive model, the sDrive35i. This trim joins the all-wheel-drive xDrive35i and xDrive50i, and since you should all be capable of decoding BMW's weird naming structure by now, you know this means the X6 will be offered with a choice of 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder and twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engines. Fuel economy figures have not been released yet, but BMW says the new powertrains are more efficient than before, mated exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission regardless of cylinder count.
Look for the updated X6 to hit US showrooms this fall, following its debut this week in Paris. Expect pricing to be revealed closer to the model's on-sale date. Have a look below for all of the details.

BMW rethinks all-wheel-drive M cars

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

BMW M hasn't been able to decide whether it wants to jump on the all-wheel-drive bandwagon or not (with the exceptions of the X5 M and the X6 M, which are based on AWD architecture). That might be changing though, since M's president Friedrich Nitschke recently realized that 70 to 80 percent of Mercedes-Benz E63 AMGs are ordered with all-wheel drive. Earlier this year, Nitschke said that there were no new AWD M models planned, so this comes as somewhat of a surprise.
"On our cars we are thinking of all-wheel drive, but it won't come before we get the successor of the M5 and M6," Nitschke said in a Motoring report. "That's the timing and it's not practical to react in the current life cycles."
"On our cars we are thinking of all-wheel drive." - Friedrich Nitschke, BMW
