I am selling my beloved X3. This was the only car I have ever purchased new. Actually I leased it then bought it. It has been well taken care of by myself, the dealer and the certified independent BMW mechanic. Kelly BMW did all service until the warranty expired then I changed the oil, oil filters, air filter and cabin filter using Amsoil European Synthetic oil and Mann air filters. I always changed the oil before the recommended service interval. (see record below) I may have forgotten to record a couple oil changes but it is very close. I used a BMW certified independent mechanic for all check ups and repairs after warranty. All parts are OEM BMW. I just spent $3400 to be sure the vehicle is 100%. Now we (wife ;) have decided to buy a new SUV. The pictures show a few dings and scratches on the rear. I backed into my friends motorcycle and caused the scratches on the right side. They have been touched up with OEM BMW paint. There are no noticeable dings or scratches on the sides, just normal road rock chips. The front shows normal rock chips as well. It has always been garage kept. The miles were mostly highway miles traveling 130 miles a day for about 4 years along with vacation road trips. The interior is very good condition. No pets, no smoking, no mud. The two trim pieces on the steering wheel are peeling. The remainder of the interior is very good. Front and rear heated Letherette (NOT leather) seats are great. The vehicle does not have the bluetooth module, but all the controls are in the steering wheel. This is how it was ordered. You can add the module and it should work. Everything works. No records during the warranty period. During warranty the moon roof was repaired, wiper blades were replaced and a couple of trim pieces were replaced. The tires are still very good, they have a 80000 mile treadwear. The brakes should be good for 100000 miles if you drive sensible. We got 123,000 out the the original set. Oil was just changed. I have attempted to disclose all I have documented and memory. This vehicle is in great condition and I would drive it anywhere. You are buying it as is, no warranty of any kind. No returns, refunds or discounts.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

BMW M135i vs. Mercedes A45 AMG in Euro small-lux throwdown
Fri, 19 Jul 2013BMW and Mercedes-Benz - please, please, please bring the M135i and A45 AMG hatchbacks to North America. For as long as we can remember, buyers in the New World have been forced to look longingly at Europe and Great Britain and the excellent super hatches that are so routinely offered there. And while we're quite content with the Ford Focus ST and Volkswagen GTI, having a 360-horse five-door with a premium, content-rich interior sounds quite nice.
Our envy for Europe has grown after watching the latest video from Drive, which stars Chris Harris, the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG and the BMW M135i. This latest battle between MB and BMW takes place on both road and track, with Harris providing a running commentary. If you're interested in the upcoming Mercedes CLA45 AMG, you should pay special attention to the section on the A45, as the two are essentially fraternal twins. While the video is a bit on the long side, it provides a comprehensive rundown of both cars, giving those of us in North America just a small taste of what we're missing.

2014 BMW 2 Series configurator drifts online
Wed, 15 Jan 2014Monday marked the official, live unveiling of the 2014 BMW 2 Series. Not a company to rest on its laurels, BMW has unveiled the online configurator for the replacement to the much-loved 1 Series. Potential customers can select from either the 228i or go all-out and get the M235i. We shouldn't have to explain which car we've been building all day.
As a recap, a base 228i starts at $32,100 not counting a $925 destination charge. It includes 240 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque and, when optioned with the six-speed manual rather than the eight-speed automatic, a perfect 50/50 weight distribution (the 8AT balances at 50.3 in front and 49.7 in back). The M235i, meanwhile, starts at $43,100 (although you can't actually buy one for that, because the configurator forces you into a $1,450 Dakota leather interior). It offers up significantly more grunt, with 320 hp and 320 lb-ft from its 3.0-liter, turbocharged straight six.
