The Kelly Blue Book value for this remarkable car is $46,486.
This is a beautiful car that I special ordered. As of today, I owe $50,441.74 to BMW Financial. The buy now price of $44,000.00 is the minimum that I will accept prior to the end of the auction, so no need asking for me to unlist for an offer less than that. However, the reserve is set at a very reasonable 39,750.01. If it doesn't sell for at least that amount, I will keep the car or relist it. Under no circumstances will I take less than that, so there is no need to wait for the auction to end and then ask me to take less. It just ain't happening.
This transaction will work as follows (unless we agree to other amicable terms). Once you have agreed to buy the car, we will contact BMW Financial together to make the payment arrangements. All funds will be sent to BMW financial.. You will send a cashier's check for the purchase price (less the $500 deposit) to BMW financial and I will send a cashier's check for the remaining amount owed on the loan (plus the deposit). BMW will keep the funds in escrow until all funds are received and have cleared. The car will then be delivered and the title will be sent directly from BMW Financial to the purchaser. That way we are both protected by the 3rd party (BMW).
The car is in excellent mechanical condition. It is still under warranty until 50K miles.
All services by a BMW dealer. An inspection was conducted by the dealer last week and the report is available. Everything checked out perfect with the following exception: there was a slight warp detected in the front rotors, so brand new rotors will be installed on Tuesday.
I recently purchased new tires for the front. The rear tires were changed out about 7 months ago. All tires were purchased from and installed by the dealer. I also purchased 5 years of insurance on the wheels/tires. I had existing scrapes on two of the wheels repaired about 3 months ago.
The interior is black extended leather (seats, doors, lower dash below trim, steering wheel, shift, center console) with carbon leather trim, all black. It's awesome and in perfect condition.
Premium Sound: This is the most incredible sound system I have ever heard in a car (period).

The exterior is jerez black - deep black with a blue undertint that looks so cool in the sun. There is a small (quarter inch) surface scratch on the hood (see pics). It doesn't show through to the primer so you can't see it until you are up close to the hood. There is a very small ding at the very rear of the roof (see pics). I have no idea how it got there. It looks like a hail dent but I don't think it's ever been in hail. The right rearview mirror has a small scuff that I haven't tried buffing out (see pics). These are all very minor and I'm sure a body shop could take care of them for a couple hundred bucks or if you have any talent in that area yourself (I don't) you can probably do it yourself. I have some touch up paint in case you need it.
I get asked about the higher mileage. I've driven the car to Colorado (Vail area) and Utah (Provo area) twice. Also, my firm's main office is a 3 hour drive from where I live, and I commute there about 2 times a month.

2013 BMW 135is Coupe
Tue, 28 May 2013BMW's Best 1 Series Gives Back What You Put In
Every once in a while, I find myself, despite my solitary leanings and inherent modesty, working out in some kind of class setting. The tone and tenor of these classes ranges wildly - from the quiet, follow-the-leader variety, to those with a kind of Cult of Personality man or woman calling the shots, usually with idiom-laden shouting and theatrical hair. Despite their personal variation and range of professional effectiveness, there's one common concept that most instructors bring up at some point: working with intention.
The idea, as it relates to physical fitness, is that focusing your brain on the movement at hand - the rate of your own breathing, or the muscle groups being worked for instance - helps to perform the act efficiently and correctly. Having spent a happy majority of the last decade in an exercise-free near-debauch, I was a bit surprised to find out that this kind of mental game really works pretty well.
BMW revisits its 8 Series
Thu, 04 Jul 2013So why would BMW choose July 2 to release a retrospective on the 8 Series? Could it have something to do with the recent unveiling of the Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe concept, another sleek, B-pillarless V12 two-door, at this year's Villa d'Este? We have no idea, but the timing is likely coincidental.
This three-minute look at the 8 Series talks to Niels Hamann, who was smitten with the long-hooded coupe when it appeared in 1989 and finally bought one in 2004. Hamann also happens to be a project manager at BMW, and that came in handy when he wrote a book detailing every aspect of what was BMW's flagship for ten years but to the chagrin of many only managed one generation.
While we wait for the next clue about the Gran Lusso - 8 Series connection, check out the video below.
How to charge up your BMW i3 with a Honda
Sat, Sep 13 2014Behold a cheaper version of BMW's range extender for its i3 plug-in. And it's brought to you by ... Honda? Sort of, if you take the approach that Gadget Review took when it looked for an alternative to ponying up the $4,000 or so for the gas-powered i3 range extender that comes from the factory. What was procured was a Honda portable generator for Home Depot for the experiment, which involved gassing the generator up in a parking lot, plugging in the i3 and going out for a cup of coffee. The result was that, after about a half-hour of charging, the i3 picked up about four miles of driving range. Not exactly revolutionary but it least a bit instructive. And given that Honda generators start at about $800, the idea, while clunky, is potentially cash-saving. Gadget Review briefly took the experiment one-step further by trying to run the generator inside the back of the car and plugging in, complete with a rigged-up ventilation system, but the host thought better of it once he realized that there'd be suffocation involved. Why this was never tried on the Nissan Leaf, we'll never know. Check out Gadget Review's five-minute video below.
