I purchased from the original owner in 2013 and the following have been performed by me since:
- New head gasket
- Head professionally machined by a local machine shop
- New radiator, hoses, & plastic thermostat housing and rear plastic coolant 90 (a must for any BMW this age)
- New spark plugs

About the car:

I purchased the car in 2013 from the original owner (a school teacher). The car had just been repainted a few months prior to my purchase. After doing so, they had the head gasket issue and did not want to invest more money in repairs.
The car was purchased new at BMW of Austin. The interior is in good condition and I just ordered a brand new set of floor mats from BMW. The driver seat has some wear on the leather and the passenger seat is in very good condition. Tires are Michelin and in good amount of tread left on all.

Features:
- Keyless entry/alarm with BOTH factory keys and BOTH remotes
- Optional computer display for average MPG, MPH, fuel range, etc.
- Power seats, cruise, windows
- CD changer in trunk and cassette player in day
- FACTORY HARDTOP - valued at $2,500 to $3,000 from recent eBay sales INCLUDED

Minor issues/notes:

- As with many BMW's of this age, the odometer backlight is dim and it is hard to read the odometer reading in full sun, but it is fully functional and readable.
- The back window in the convertible soft top has been removed and would need to be replaced if desired. I have included a new piece of convertible top clear plastic that can be used for this. I was quoted $500 from one upholstery shop owner to take the top off and sew in the clear vinyl. The cloth of the top is in good condition. Personally - If I drive with the top down it is only for a day or afternoon and then I put the hardtop back on.

I am open to trades of equal or lesser value. If less, you will have to come up with the difference in cash. I am not interested in junk, but would consider a project vehicle.

Call or email with questions. NO CALLS AFTER 9 PM please.

2016 BMW X1 will be second model on company's front-drive platform

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

BMW is putting a lot of its chips on the success of its forthcoming front-wheel drive models, and it's making a big bet on the company's future in hoping that customers will accept them. Its front-driving UKL platform is underpinning not just the current crop of Minis but a host of BMW vehicles too. The rollout starts with the 2 Series Active Tourer in Europe later this year. But the Bavarian brand confirms to Automotive News Europe that the next one is the X1 crossover, slated to come to Europe next June. It will also be joined by the X2 next summer, confirming earlier rumors about the fashionable CUV's existence.
As the previous spy photos suggest, the X1 is even smaller than the current model, and it supposedly uses the same crop of turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines as Mini. But according to Automotive News Europe, the little guy is getting an extended, three-row version for the US, Russia and China. Like with the X4 or X6, the X2 shares most of the mechanical parts with its more conventional-looking sibling but features sleeker styling.
To make all of these UKL-based models possible, BMW is sharing development among them as much as is practical. According to Automotive News Europe, the next generations of the Mini Countryman, Clubman, X1 and X2 share the same electrical systems, drivetrains and more. Adding in the Active Tourer and still mysterious Family Active Sports Tourer to the mix, and the result is a big gamble that needs to go Bimmer's way.

BMW 3 Series eDrive plug-in hybrid spotted in development

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

BMW has shown its commitment to the development of hybrid and electric powertrains in recent years, with vehicles in its ActiveHybrid range, electrics like its BMW ActiveE and range-extended EVs like the i3 and i8. Plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles are clearly top-of-mind for the German automaker. We saw spy shots of the PHEV BMW X5 eDrive prototypes about a year ago, and now our shooters have come through with a 3 Series-bodied version of the technology, as well.
In addition to the obvious "Hybrid Test Vehicle" designation you see on the bodysides of this 3er, we also note that a second 'fuel cap' - presumably hiding the electric charge point - is in evidence. It's a fairly safe assumption that this 3 Series is making use of the same turbocharged four-cylinder engine and electric motor configuration that the X5 eDrive used. In the case of the X5, that meant a top electric-only speed of 75 miles per hour, with a range of just under 20 miles, and 0-62 mph in under 7 seconds. With considerably lighter, compact sedan bodywork clothing the PHEV drivetrain, we'd guess that the 3 Series eDrive could improve on each of those numbers.
