I am moving out of state to the rainy Pacific North West, and am reluctantly selling my car.  I've had this car for a few years, and have put 40k miles on it since purchasing it, mostly highway, as my job took me from Dayton to Cincinnati, Columbus, Troy, etc. It has 137,xxx miles on it, but I do drive it when the roads are clear.  It is garaged, and I drive my 4wd when roads are bad.


The Good:  Hellrot (German for Bright Red) colour, 5 speed transmission.  water pump, radiator, hoses, overflow tank all replaced at 105,000 miles.  Converted to electric radiator fan.  Carbon Fiber intake from Turner MotorSports, K&N air filter, DINAN springs, sway bars, and strut tower bar, DINAN/Koni shocks/struts.  Heated leather seats.  3.0 liter M54 motor. Power roof, power windows. Good A/C.  Fast. Fun. Attracts attention. Always has run good for me.  Legendary BMW performance and quality.  Priced to sell, as I can't take it with me.

The Bad:  Fast, Attracts attention (just ask the highway patrol officer who pulled me over)! Driver's seat has a split right under the butt (separated about 3/8" - 1/2", across the center of the seating area). Non stock wing is mounted on trunk. Valve cover gasket needs replaced ($28 part, easy fix). Split in rear window right at the top (Windows zip in, cost about $80 on eBay). Wheels could use a re-paint, there is a small dent (does not penetrate the paint) by the fuel cap, and will need new rear tires soon ($130 each on TireRack.)  Car is priced accordingly.

Note: Over the summer the driver's seat was replaced with a Sparco seat, which I subsequently removed (not as comfy as I thought it would be).  The original driver's seat was carefully removed, stored, and put back in place after the Sparco was sold.  The Sparco seat is NOT included!

Buyer responsible for pick-up, or arrangement of shipping.  $500 non refundable deposit via paypal must be made within 48 hours of end of auction.  Car will not be released until any checks have completely cleared seller's bank. Any check must be a certified bank check from a major US bank (ie: Chase, PNC, 5th 3rd Bank, etc.).

BMW is the US auto industry's leading exporter

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Which automaker do you think ships the most cars out of North America, one of the Detroit Three or perhaps one of the Japanese automakers? Nope. It turns out the BMW's Spartanburg, SC, factory is the biggest automotive exporter from the continent in the United States. According to a recent profile by Bloomberg looking at the plant's 20th anniversary, Bimmer's southern ops sends out more vehicles than all of Michigan combined.
When the Spartanburg factory opened up in 1994, its success was hardly assured, largely because of South Carolina's relatively small economy at the time. However, BMW picked the site because of its proximity to East Coast shipping that made it easier to move engines and transmission in from Germany and export vehicles back to Europe, according to Bloomberg. The Bavarians clearly made the right choice.
Today, the plant has developed into an absolute powerhouse. The factory currently assembles the X3, X4, X5 and X6 and exports about 70 percent of the vehicles built there. Things are only getting better. BMW is investing $1 billion through 2016 to boost annual production from the current 300,000 units up to 450,000 and to build a new flagship crossover called X7. The expansion also adds a further 800 jobs there to take total employment up to about 8,800. Including the latest financing, BMW has put over $7.3 billion into the factory since it opened, notes Bloomberg.

BMW joins the early holiday advertising fray with three new ads

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

October 31 is no longer known as Halloween, or All Saints' Eve or even as that day when all children simultaneously develop huge cavities. It's now known as the day before Christmas/holiday advertising begins. Seriously, as of November 1, it seems like companies across the country and from every industry have declared open season on holiday ad campaigns. It's all premature enough that we're already feeling our inner Grinch showing, but at least some of the ads are better done than others.
Among them are new spots from BMW, which has arrived with this mini-campaign of three 30-second, Christmas-themed spots. There's a cameo from Santa Claus, who's at the helm of a sleek M6 Gran Coupe in one spot, while a 3 Series Gran Coupe slices through a slalom of Christmas trees in another. The final spot, called "Road Home", doesn't focus so much on the brand's "Ultimate Driving Machines," as it does the trip home for the holidays.
We've embedded all three videos below, so take a look and then let us know what you think of this seemingly perpetual holiday marketing calendar creep - and the BMW ads in particular - in Comments.
