I have LOTS more pictures, but I can only post 4 for free, and if I post a bunch and it doesn't sell . . I've just wasted more money. I am happy to send all 30 or so I have tho!
This beautiful car has just under 103,000 miles on it, which
is low considering how durable and long lasting these cars are! My Volvo is 13 yrs old and has over 253,000
miles on it! It is a speed automatic, AWD, 4.4 L, V8, 32V Valvetronic. It is black exterior with roof rack. I have
the Car Fax for it and it’s been well maintained, having regular oil changes
and inspections. Never been wrecked. It includes the extended warranty that covers an additional 100k miles or 5 years - will expire May 2019 or 202,780 miles, whichever comes first. Its features include A huge panoramic sun roof, which is one of my favorite things about it. Self-leveling rear axle w air springs Traction control Four wheel independent suspension Speed-sensing steering wheel Anti-theft, AM/FM stereo with CD & radio 10 speakers Radio data system 4-wheel disc brakes (which were just changed at about 82K miles) Electronic stability control (I must say it does feel like a very safe car) ABS brakes Brake assist Dual front impact airbags and side impact airbags as well Front anti-roll bar Low tire pressure warning Occupant sensing airbag Overhead airbag Panic alarm Rear anti-roll bar Reverse sensing system Security system Dakota leather upholstery Split folding rear seat Steering wheel memory Steering wheel also has audio controls Tilt steering wheel (and it moves up when you go to get out of the car) Trip computer Air conditioning (works REALLY Well), each passenger has their own temp control, too Front bucket seats Leather shift knob Tachometer Driver door bin – actually lots of really good storage space Vanity mirrors for front passengers, with lighting 18 x 8.5 double spoke alloy wheels Variably intermittent wipers Speed sensitive wipers High-intensity discharge headlights Spoiler Bodyside moldings Delayed headlights Front fog lights Fully automated headlights Heated door mirrors Power door mirrors Power trunk closing assist Rain sensing wipers Rear window wiper Roof rack – rails The back also lifts open with part of the tailgate still closed (see photo). This is great so things don’t shift and fall out the back when you open the back hatch after traveling.
Just passed inspection and emissions.
I was so excited when I bought this car because BMW is my all-time favorite car. It’s been a long and difficult 5 1/2 years after a divorce that left me as the sole support of our 2 kids, so getting this to replace my 13 yr old, 253K mile Volvo felt like a real accomplishment. Especially on the heels of earning my master’s degree just over a month ago. I am the 3rd owner of this car, I believe, and it originated in Hawaii! It then moved to NC before settling here in NoVA. It wasn’t really planned but more like something that fell into place, or so I thought. There was a light on the dashboard when I got it but my son and I thought it had to do with the 4x4 being disengaged . . until two more lights came on. I called the dealer and took it in, and a few days later they returned my vehicle with a new alternator. Being a little nervous, I took it to the mechanic I trust completely for a good once over, in case there were other lurking issues. He cleared it and, in fact, said it was a good car. He also told me it was a V8. Therein lies my problem. The salesperson at Pohanka told me it was a V8, AWD vehicle. After looking briefly at a sedan and this one, and from what I was told, this would get a little less gas mileage due to the AWD. I asked about this before we even test drove it, and the sales person looked it up on his phone right there in the parking lot to tell me the difference between AWD and a regular vehicle with only two wheels really doing the work. There was NO mention of it being an 8 cylinder. Since he initially said V6, I didn’t ask more about that. I simply cannot afford to keep a V8 car . . . . .despite having an advanced education, I’m still supporting my family on a lower income salary because, at the time of my divorce, I had been a stay-home mom for 10 years. I had to start all over. Had the sales person told me it was a V8, I would have kept looking. There are smaller engine SUVs out there. I used to own one until the ex took it, promised to bring it back and trade, but traded it in on a sporty model instead. It will sit in my parking lot until it sells and I will only use it when I need to take my kids to activities that are further out, because my Volvo has a transmission problem and it worries me to get stuck on the road somewhere, at some point. I bought an extended warranty for 5 yrs/ 100K miles that is included. It was the best policy by an A+ BBB rated company I could find after much research. I can put you in touch with the warranty people if you have questions about what it covers. There is a $100 deductible for each covered expense, but no limits or caps on covered items. This is great if you’re hauling a boat or a trailer, but it’s too much car for me. Even if I made twice as much and the gasoline wasn’t an issue, a V6 is all the more car I need. That’s what I will look for once I sell this to someone who can truly appreciate it.

The UK votes for Brexit and it will impact automakers
Fri, Jun 24 2016It's the first morning after the United Kingdom voted for what's become known as Brexit – that is, to leave the European Union and its tariff-free internal market. Now begins a two-year process in which the UK will have to negotiate with the rest of the EU trading bloc, which is its largest export market, about many things. One of them may be tariffs, and that could severely impact any automaker that builds cars in the UK. This doesn't just mean companies that you think of as British, like Mini and Jaguar. Both of those automakers are owned by foreign companies, incidentally. Mini and Rolls-Royce are owned by BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover by Tata Motors of India, and Bentley by the VW Group. Many other automakers produce cars in the UK for sale within that country and also export to the EU. Tariffs could damage the profits of each of these companies, and perhaps cause them to shift manufacturing out of the UK, significantly damaging the country's resurgent manufacturing industry. Autonews Europe dug up some interesting numbers on that last point. Nissan, the country's second-largest auto producer, builds 475k or so cars in the UK but the vast majority are sent abroad. Toyota built 190k cars last year in Britain, of which 75 percent went to the EU and just 10 percent were sold in the country. Investors are skittish at the news. The value of the pound sterling has plummeted by 8 percent as of this writing, at one point yesterday reaching levels not seen since 1985. Shares at Tata Motors, which counts Jaguar and Land Rover as bright jewels in its portfolio, were off by nearly 12 percent according to Autonews Europe. So what happens next? No one's terribly sure, although the feeling seems to be that the jilted EU will impost tariffs of up to 10 percent on UK exports. It's likely that the UK will reciprocate, and thus it'll be more expensive to buy a European-made car in the UK. Both situations will likely negatively affect the country, as both production of new cars and sales to UK consumers will both fall. Evercore Automotive Research figures the combined damage will be roughly $9b in lost profits to automakers, and an as-of-yet unquantified impact on auto production jobs. Perhaps the EU's leaders in Brussels will be in a better mood in two years, and the process won't devolve into a trade war. In the immediate wake of the Brexit vote, though, the mood is grim, the EU leadership is angry, and investors are spooked.
BMW Films are on the way back [w/videos]
Mon, 17 Feb 2014The BMW Films series caused a stir in 2001 and 2002 by combining top-quality cinematography, Hollywood names and driving excitement to sell its sporty wares in a whole new way. By arriving five years before YouTube, they ranked as some of the earliest viral videos on the internet. By now, these sorts of films are almost commonplace, but back when BMW hit upon the idea, the idea of brand-integrated short films on the internet was still a novelty. Now, for the first time in over a decade, the German automaker is planning on bringing back BMW Films for a new season.
Trudy Hardy, BMW North America Vice President of Marketing, announced the series' return at the 2014 Automotive News World Congress in Detroit, according to Ad Age. However, neither the German brand nor Anonymous Content, the original production company, have been willing to comment further on when the new videos are coming.
The original series of eight films starred Clive Owen as the Driver (back then, Owen was largely unknown to American audiences), a mercenary who would take a variety of jobs and always drive a BMW. David Fincher executive produced the first season and directors included top names like John Frankenheimer, Ang Lee and Guy Ritchie. All of the second season movies had Owen driving a Z4, but in our estimation, the quality had fallen off a bit compared to the outstanding first season.
Alpina B4 coupe will be your subtle M4
Sat, 14 Sep 2013We're big fans of Alpina here at Autoblog - the BMW tuner has created some seriously delicious products in the past, and recently tuned the diesel-powered 3 Series wagon to create the D3 Bi-Turbo. What we like most about Alpina is how the cars only look subtly more aggressive than stock, yet they pack a real wallop under the hood.
Take this B4 Coupe, recently spotted testing at the Nürburgring. It looks pretty tame compared to the normal 435i, the only visual additions being the Alpina-standard 21-spoke wheels, modified front lip and rear wing spoiler. But under the hood, Alpina is reportedly working on a tuned, twin-turbo straight-six that produces something like 410 horsepower. That means the B4 should be good for a 0-62 time of 4.2 seconds, with a top speed around 190 mph. Rear-wheel drive will be standard, though our spies suggest that Alpina could also use all-wheel drive here in the B4.
We have no doubt that the next BMW M4 will be super hot, but for those seeking a bit more stealth and exclusivity, this Alpina B4 certainly looks the business. Check it out in our gallery above.
