2007 - Bmw 7-series on 2040-cars
Syracuse, New York, United States
Up for sale is my 2007 Alpina B7. I have owned the car for 2 years, and purchased it with 14k original miles. The vehicle now has 29k and is subject to minor change during the duration of the auction. The vehicle was a one owner car, traded-in and resold to me, although technically I consider myself to be the second owner. I have not a single issue with this car in two years of ownership. I changed the oil regularly, had the brakes flushed twice, cabin filters replaced, and installed new Continental tires 7k miles ago. I took this car on a 1600 mile round trip from NY to Chicago in August, and the car performed like a new car would. I rate the condition of this car to be excellent. There are a few small dings around the car that you would need to be a foot or less away to notice, two minor touch-up chips on the hood, and some curb rash on both passenger side wheel lips. Besides the minor details mentioned, the car is as new. For those unfamiliar with an Alpina B7: This car has the comfort, luxury, and reliability of a 7 Series BMW; paired with the exclusivity (800 produced for 07/08), beauty and power (500hp/516 ft. lb tq) of a 125k sedan. It is sleek, fast, beautiful, turns heads, and a total pleasure to drive, at a fraction of its original price. You can find one for less money, but I would recommend spending a little more money for peace of mind, and an awesome car. Why am I selling? I want a new one! I will probably purchase an AWD model and drive it year round. This model is RWD and I have never attempted a drive in the snow, although I heard with snow tires, it will perform well. This car gets parked from first snow fall- first rain in spring to wash away all salt encrusted roads. It is garage kept, and the undercarriage of this car is as clean as the photographs you see of the exterior and interior. *Photos were taken in the late spring, right before I replaced the original tires 7k miles ago. They were replaced due to age, not due to wear. Tires wear incredibly well on this car. It is amazing how perfectly balanced it is. These pictures are used because they show the car well, and the car looks exactly the same now as it did then. *One key is included with sale. I was given one key when I purchased the car, and never required an additional key. *

BMW ponders increase in i3 production capacity on early demand
Wed, 16 Oct 2013The 2014 BMW i3 is not slated to hit US showrooms until the second quarter of next year, but the response BMW has received for the all-electric hatchback has been positive enough that the automaker is already considering boosting production capacity. Bloomberg Businessweek reports that more than 8,000 customers have reserved an i3 so far, which is high, especially considering that BMW only planned to sell 10,000 i3s total in 2014.
Talking to BMW CFO Friedrich Eichiner, the report says that if the demand holds for the i3, BMW would increase capacity accordingly. The i3 goes on sale next month in Germany before a global roll out in the US, China and Japan, and with a starting price of $41,350, it is priced slightly higher than current small plug-in vehicles offered in the US like the Chevy Volt, Ford Focus Electric and Toyota Prius Plug-in, though features more use of advanced, lightweight materials.
HyFive hydrogen infrastructure gets $51M boost across Europe
Fri, Apr 4 2014"High five!" was one of the catch-phrases of Sacha Baron Cohen's Kazakh comedic alter ego Borat. A real-world HyFive is being announced by a power broker named Boris. And this is serious business. London Mayor Boris Johnson has announced a program called HyFive, which will see automakers and other entities invest 31 million British pounds ($51 million US) in a demonstration project for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. By next year, London will have three hydrogen refueling stations, while there will be one each in the Danish cities of Aarhus and Odense and one in Innsbruck, Austria. Leaders of the program are planning for other stations in Sweden, Germany and Italy. The five participating automakers are BMW, Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler, Honda, Hyundai and Toyota, while other companies involved include Copenhagen Hydrogen Network, ITM Power and Linde. Those OEMs will make 110 fuel-cell vehicles available for deployment in Bolzano, Copenhagen, Innsbruck, London, Munich and Stuttgart. The program represents an effort to address the "chicken or egg?" challenge inherent to establishing a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market. While the powertrain technology provides benefits by combining fossil-fuel-like refueling times with long driving ranges and zero emissions, establishing a refueling network and building fuel-cell vehicles is prohibitively expensive, especially in low volumes. The London mayor is no stranger to green transportation technology. Late last year, Johnson made himself available for a photo opportunity with Ecotive and Frazer-Nash, which had developed a six-passenger extended-range plug-in taxicab. The mayor got a test drive in the cabs this week. You can check out the HyFive press release below. Global leaders sign up to GBP31m plan to demonstrate viability of hydrogen vehicles International project HyFive pioneers hydrogen fuel cell technology A pioneering GBP31 million deal will be struck today (3 April) to make hydrogen vehicles a viable and environmentally friendly choice for motorists across Europe. Leading motor manufacturers, hydrogen fuel suppliers, the Mayor of London's Office and energy consultancies from around the globe are signing up to the HyFive project, the largest of its kind in Europe, at City Hall in London today.
Next BMW X1 moving to smaller, lighter FWD-biased platform
Thu, 20 Feb 2014BMW's decision to make the upcoming 2-Series Active Tourer front-wheel drive has been polarizing to say the least, but like it or not, that is the direction the company will go in the near future - one rumor put the number as high as 23 front-wheel-drive models for Mini and BMW combined. The next-generation X1 won't send all its power to the front wheels, though, when it launches in early 2016. While it will use the same platform as the Active Tourer, rumors suggest all models will use all-wheel drive - at least at launch.
A "high-ranking," unnamed BMW manager confirmed to AutoWeek that the new model will switch to transversely-mounted three- and four-cylinder engines and the same six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions as the Active Tourer. The new, smaller platform will allow for more efficient packaging, and despite the smaller size, interior space will remain comparable. All the changes should make it significantly lighter too.
Don't start wailing just yet because BMW surely won't be entirely abandoning sporty models. AutoWeek claims that the Bavarians are working on a higher-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with power closer to 300 horsepower, about a 72-hp boost. It's also rumored to offer a sporty version of the X1 that may be called the X2.
