Package, Driver assistance package; Lane Departure Warning, Active Blind Spot
Detection, Side and Top View Cameras. It also has 20” M light alloy wheels,
Bang & Olufsen Sound system, heated\cooling seats and much more!!!!Total MSRP for this vehicle was $107,995.00 with all the options that it has, I have window sticker and all the manuals. The car has a salvage history since it was deemed an insurance loss due to flood damage. The car is clean inside out, the water never reached the inside of the car at all. Apparently the previous owner drove through a puddle of water and the engine sucked in water causing a “hydro locked” engine according to the insurance company. What we did was had the engine flushed, transmission flushed, did engine oil service, transmission oil service, change spark plugs. The car fired right up after the entire service was completed. The car was tested at highway speeds and it drove without any issues, the transmission shifts gears smoothly as it should, the engine revs up just fine without any knocking sounds or weird noises. However after driving the vehicle for approximately 4,000 miles the check engine light came on indicating a light misfire on cylinder #4. We checked for cylinder compression, all cylinders had good compression except cylinder number 4 which has low compression. We suspect a bad ring or injector on cylinder #4. Again the engine does not have any sort of knocking sounds. Every other single component and electronic in this car has been tested and it is in working condition without a flaw. The car starts, runs and drives but the check engine light is on indicating a misfire on cylinder 4. We buy and sell cars from the insurance company for business. However my brother bought this car from the insurance company for personal use, did the car service, did state inspection, state\trooper inspection, registered the car and drove it for about 4,000 miles. He does not want to deal with the mechanical headache of doing anymore besides what already has been done. Above all, the car is in excellent condition inside out. The cars exterior and interior are flawless! With one exterior minor imperfection which is a very light (not noticeable) ding on the driver side fender, as you can see in the close up picture provided. Other than that the car exterior and interior are flawless This vehicle is being sold as is where it is with no warranty of any kind.

BMW recalling 1 Series ActiveE over bad drivetrain housing
Wed, 30 Jan 2013There are always growing pains when automakers introduce new technologies. BMW is learning this with the electric powetrain used on the 2011 BMW ActiveE. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about half of the all-electric 1 Series coupes currently in the hands of the public are being recalled for a potential problem that could leave the cars stranded.
With 700 ActiveE models running around the US, 360 of these cars have insufficient sealing between the electric motor and transmission, which could lead to premature wear to the connection between the two, which in turn could result in a loss of propulsion. BMW started notifying affected owners by phone earlier this month.
While no automaker wants a recall on its hands, it's much better for BMW to learn such a lesson now on the low-production, lease-only ActiveE ahead of the car's successor, the BMW i3, which is expected to be a much higher-volume EV. Scroll down for the official recall notification.
Researchers halfway to cutting carbon fiber costs by 90%
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Carbon fiber has been utilized for decades to build racecars, as a means to cut weight while maintaining strength. But until recently, the space-age material has been largely absent from the street on anything but supercars because of the expense to use it. Recently, BMW signaled a major shift in that trend when it starting using carbon fiber reinforced plastic panels on the i3 and i8. This relatively small scale start might be just the beginning; the German company believes that a breakthrough to inexpensively manufacture the lightweight stuff is just on the horizon.
MAI Carbon Cluster Management GmbH counts BMW, Audi, Airbus, the German government and many other organizations as supporters, and it's researching how to make carbon fiber cheaper to produce, according to Automotive News Europe. The company thinks it can reduce costs by 90 percent in the near future. "We've certainly reached a halfway point on our cost-cutting target for suitable carbon-fiber parts," said project head Klaus Drechsler to Automotive News Europe.
Unfortunately, it isn't entirely clear just what MAI Carbon is doing to make such a huge leap possible. However, a recent post on the company's website talks about a new form a carbon fiber using a thermoplastic matrix that could be cured in less than three minutes. That's compared to about 90 minutes in the traditional process with an autoclave.
Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche adds third 919 Hybrid for Le Mans, Audi to heat factory with geothermal

BMW i Ventures is investing in Zendrive, a driving focused data and analytics company. The cooperation of the two companies is meant to help advance safety and efficiency by making the "in-car mobility experience even smoother by optimizing commuting and driving patterns," according to BMW i's Ulrich Quay. The venture capital arm of BMW's i brand also invests in JustPark, Chargepoint, Life360, Chargemaster and MyCityWay, and says it will have more strategic investment announcements in the coming months. Read more in the press release below. The Audi Hungaria factory in Gyor, Hungary will soon be getting geothermal energy from a nearby plant being constructed in Per. When the facility is finished, Audi expects to source 82,000 megawatt hours of geothermal energy per year from it, or about six percent of its total heating needs. The clean energy helps Audi move "step by step along a path to developing a CO2-neutral production plant," says Audi's Dr. Hubert Waltl. "The mobility of the future must be CO2-neutral – and that applies not only to the use of our vehicles, but also to their production." Read more in the press release below. Supporters have begun a petition drive for the passage of an E15 ordinance in Chicago. Despite pushback from oil companies, the city council is close to passing the "Chicago Clean Air Choice Ordinance," which includes the requirement by retailers to sell the 15-percent ethanol gasoline blend in the city. The ordinance includes an exception for stations selling less than 850,000 gallons of fuel per year. More than 4,000 people have signed the petition so far, with others leaving messages to voice their opinion on the matter in opposition to Big Oil's attempt to block it. Read more at Domestic Fuel.
