Up for sale today is the last car from the estate of the late ( name removed at request of wife) Bill as his friends called him was the driving force that pioneered his small family owned insurance business into the nation's largest privately held wholesale insurance brokerage. Due to his success in business and love for cars and motorcycles he had a large collection of high end vehicles including Shelby's, Viper's Porsche's , Audi 's , BMW's just to name a few. I always told him he could sell tickets to his garage, for car lovers it was the equivalent of going to Disneyland for a child. This last car was one of his favorites a 2001 BMW Z8 convertible with 692 original miles, no that was NOT a misprint 692 original miles!! I venture to say there is not another one in the country in this showroom like new condition! Bill had such a large collection of cars that he didn't get to put many miles on most of them, even so these cars he owned where such works of art just having them in the garage to view brought him and everyone that visited great joy including myself. This car has been stored in a climate controlled garage under the factory BMW car cover and started periodically and battery maintained with a tender. The battery was replaced in 2012 with a original factory BMW battery and was serviced prior to storage! I visited the car today to take some pictures for the sale and checked it over, it is flawless!! These pictures do not do this car justice. If you check Ebay you will see these cars selling for upwards of 160k with tens of thousands of miles on them! This car is the closest thing you will find to going backwards in time and taking delivery new off the showroom floor! I will assist any SERIOUS buyers in any way I can. Anyone that is local or willing to travel can come see the car in person before buying. No test drives until paid in full!! My name is Dennis Kelley, I spent 30 years in the vehicle sales business at management level, you can call me with questions / offers or to schedule a private viewing at 443 653-5407. This is a private sale, I'm assisting the surviving spouse with the sale. There is also a hard top that comes with the car that is not pictured! I can send any additional photos upon request. If you are a car guy/girl don't let this rare beauty get away!!!

Is the BMW i8 actually already sold out?

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

The other day we brought you a report from Reuters, which quoted BMW's global sales chief Ian Robertson as saying that the Bavarian automaker had already sold out the entire year's production run of its new i8. Impressive, sure, but perhaps not all that unusual for a groundbreaking new sportscar from a major automaker, of which only limited quantities are typically built. But is the i8 really sold out?
Our compatriots at Car and Driver chased down the story and report that Robertson's claims aren't exactly accurate. According to C/D, the numbers are based on sales projections, not actual orders taken. So while BMW may build upwards of 1,900 i8 coupes next year and over 5,000 in 2015, and while they're all expected to sell, that doesn't mean that it's too late to get your order in. That is, assuming you have the $135k on hand and don't mind getting just three cylinders back in return.

Recharge Wrap-up: video touts Volvo electric buses, Nissan and BMW build EV chargers in S. Africa

Wed, May 27 2015

Volvo is touting the advantages of electric buses in a new video. The short film, called Route 55, promotes the ElectriCity Project for public transport, and, more specifically, the new electric bus route in Gothenburg, Sweden. The new route debuts June 15 using Volvo electric and hybrid buses. In the video, two teenagers are seen waiting for the bus. As one boards, the other asks her out from the sidewalk, but she can't hear him over the noise of the diesel bus, which then closes its doors and drives away. The film asks, "What if this bus had been silent?" See the video above, and read more in the press release below. BMW and Nissan will build an EV charging network across South Africa. Through 2017, the two automakers will build fast-charging and AC stations around the country in order to encourage the adoption of EVs. Nissan has been selling the Leaf in South Africa since 2013, and BMW introduced the i3 and i8 in March. "In order for the introduction and expansion of electric vehicles as well as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to be successful in this market, we need to work together," says BMW South Africa Managing Director Tim Abbott. Read more at Automotive News Europe. The Renault-Nissan Alliance will provide the United Nations with 200 electric vehicles for the COP21 climate conference in Paris. The fleet of vehicles includes the Nissan Leaf and e-NV200, as well as the Renault ZOE, Kangoo ZE and Fluence ZE. The entire passenger car shuttle fleet will use all-electric vehicles as some 20,000 UN attendees descend upon Paris from November 30 to December 11. "Thanks to the Alliance's fleet of 100-percent electric vehicles, it will contribute to our goal of achieving a carbon neutral event," says French Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development and COP21 President Laurent Fabius. "The technology of electric vehicles helps reduce greenhouse gases in the transportation sector efficiently." Read more from Renault. Visa will be the official title sponsor of the Formula E London ePrix. Officially called the "2015 FIA Formula E Visa London ePrix," the races on June 27 and 28 will be the last of the electric racing series's inaugural season. Visa Europe will award the Visa Fastest Lap trophy after the each round, and will have interactive activities at the race's eVillage.

Behind the scenes of BMW's 'Drift Mob,' Part 1

Sat, 28 Jun 2014

Generally speaking, marketing and journalism don't mix, but every now and then, what goes into the marketing of a car - the 2015 BMW M235i, in this case - is worth documenting. In that spirit, we took BMW up on its offer to bring us behind the scenes of its upcoming "drift mob" video, starring five red M235i coupes frolicking around a traffic circle in a major world city (BMW has asked us to be coy about which one so as not to blow its cover before the shoot).
The five drivers can all be considered legends of modern-day drifting and stunt driving: Rhys Millen, Samuel Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford and Conrad Grunewald.
As the only US media outlet in attendance, Autoblog plans to follow up with a full story on the experience once BMW polishes and releases the video in a month or so. In the meantime, check out our photos of this epic practice session we captured on our first day hanging with the crew, and be sure to watch this space for more behind-the-scenes action.
