I am selling my beloved X3. This was the only car I have ever purchased new. Actually I leased it then bought it.

It has been well taken care of by myself, the dealer and the certified independent BMW mechanic. Kelly BMW did all service until the warranty expired then I changed the oil, oil filters, air filter and cabin filter using  Amsoil European Synthetic oil and Mann air filters. I always changed the oil before the recommended service interval. (see record below) I may have forgotten to record a couple oil changes but it is very close. I used a BMW certified independent mechanic for all check ups and repairs after warranty. All parts are OEM BMW. I just spent $3400 to be sure the vehicle is 100%. Now we (wife ;) have decided to buy a new SUV.

The pictures show a few dings and scratches on the rear. I backed into my friends motorcycle and caused the scratches on the right side. They have been touched up with OEM BMW paint. There are no noticeable dings or scratches on the sides, just normal road rock chips. The front shows normal rock chips as well. It has always been garage kept.

The miles were mostly highway miles traveling 130 miles a day for about 4 years along with vacation road trips.

The interior is very good condition. No pets, no smoking, no mud. The two trim pieces on the steering wheel are peeling. The remainder of the interior is very good. Front and rear heated Letherette (NOT leather) seats are great. The vehicle does not have the bluetooth module, but all the controls are in the steering wheel. This is how it was ordered. You can add the module and it should work. Everything works.

No records during the warranty period. During warranty the moon roof was repaired, wiper blades were replaced and a couple of trim pieces were replaced. The tires are still very good, they have a 80000 mile treadwear. The brakes should be good for 100000 miles if you drive sensible. We got 123,000 out the the original set. Oil was just changed.

I have attempted to disclose all I have documented and memory. This vehicle is in great condition and I would drive it anywhere. You are buying it as is, no warranty of any kind. No returns, refunds or discounts.

Watch this BMW take flight at Viru Rally

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

An E36 BMW 3 Series might be a good choice for a lot of purposes - a long road trip, a track day, rallycross, impressing your friends... but a full-on rally? It's rear-drive when the best rally machines are front- or all-wheel drive. But that didn't stop Pritt Koik and Alari-Uku Heldna from entering their stripped-out E36 in the Viru Rally in Estonia... or from getting some big air time when they did.
Fortunately the jump was not just caught on video... it was caught on video from three angles: two from the side of the rally stage and one from inside the cockpit. Check out all three below to see how this particular BMW got back into the aircraft business.

BMW i8 will be first production car to use Gorilla Glass

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

What do smartphones and the BMW i8 have in common? Glass. Scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass, that is. The i8 will be the first production car to use the chemically hardened material, which is more durable, lighter and provides more sound deadening than conventional laminated automotive glass. We thought it would be a natural replacement for windshields, but, according to Autoweek, BMW said it will be used for the rear window for sound deadening purposes. The Gorilla Glass will still be laminated, with two 0.7mm thick layers of it sandwiching an acoustic sheet, reports Autoevolution.
BMW reportedly claims the i8 will weigh less than 3,285 pounds, and to offset the heavy hybrid powertrain to reach that goal the automaker has implemented lightweight materials normally not found in mass-production automobiles. With a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) monocoque used for both the (relatively) pedestrian i3 and the upscale i8, it's not surprising BMW was also the first to jump onto Gorilla Glass, especially given the timing of a report that a high-end automaker would introduce it within the year.
Be sure to check out our First Drive review of the i8 to see if BMW's newest sports car is living up to the hype.

BMW against Merkel's female board member quota in Germany

Fri, Nov 28 2014

There may soon be more women in power positions in the world of German business under a proposed law from Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition government. If passed, the law would force large, publicly traded corporations to have female members make up at least 30 percent of their supervisory boards (which are responsible in part for business strategy) by 2016. In addition, all companies would have to increase the female proportion on their management boards, which conduct regular business. The law seems likely to pass next month. "We've decided to do this and it will happen," said Merkel in a speech about the new rule, according to Bloomberg. Women currently have just six percent of management board seats in the country. Big businesses in the country aren't on board with proposed law, including automakers. "BMW as a company doesn't believe in quotas," said spokesperson Jochen Frey to Bloomberg. "While we hold that opinion, we want and strive for diversity in our workforce in terms of gender, ethnicity and age." Currently, 25 percent of Bimmer's supervisory board is female, a bit higher than the national average in Germany of 22 percent. German car companies are hardly alone when it comes to having a paucity of women in positions of power. Honda only added its first female member to the automaker's board of directors earlier this year, and Toyota and Nissan showed similarly low numbers. A 2013 list from Fortune ranked many of the most powerful women in the auto industry as coming from North America.
