Fast, agile, powerful and controlled. Everything good about a BMW in a smaller more potent package. INTERIOR- All interior surfaces are without wear and all are functional. The standard level of BMW attention to detail without clutter. Leather interior, power heated seats with memory, heated mirrors. IPod control through the head unit with included hook-up or direct through the auxiliary-input. Interior is black with aluminum trim. EXTERIOR- Body/paint protection (like a clear coat) professionally applied to the areas behind the wheel wells, the A-pillars, and the front of the hood. This car has never been in an accident or had any body/paint repair. Condition excellent. MECHANICAL- 6 speed manual transmission. Twin turbo, 300hp, inline 6, N54 engine. Easily the best part of this vehicle. Power develops nearly instantly and continues to the redline. Having had a Subaru WRX, and a non-turbo BMW 330 prior to this, this is, hands down, the most powerful car I have had the privilege to own. Perfectly docile under normal conditions, excellent gas mileage (average 24 mpg from door to door to work) for a performance car. When you want to go fast, it does. No fuss, no drama, only effortless speed and the beautiful sound of the engine. (And it does sound wonderful, if you enjoy driving, you will understand.) WHEELS/TIRES- Aftermarket Performance Express wheels. Tires have less than 10,000 miles of use. Plenty of life left. I purchased the car from another Army officer and have had all maintenance and service performed by a local BMW specialist that I have worked with for years and multiple cars. I would be happy to put you in contact with them if you have any questions. The only issue is a blemish to the right front wheel. There is a discoloration to a few areas but the rim is balanced, and having discussed it with the manufacturer, have no reason to believe this is anything but cosmetic. If you want powerful and composed, this is it. |

BMW to launch loaner program to avoid range anxiety on i models
Tue, 12 Mar 2013BMW is looking to stave off electric vehicle range anxiety with a new program that offers buyers a free gasoline loaner with every i3 purchase. Ward's Auto reports BMW is confident that the EV will give buyers the kind of transportation they need for 90 percent of their trips. The loaners, meanwhile, will be available for those few occasions when drivers need to cover more ground than the machine's batteries will allow. The i3 gets around with help from a 180-horsepower electric motor paired with a lithium-ion battery pack.
The combo is good for trips of between 80 and 100 miles depending on driving habits and weather conditions, though BMW also plans to offer a model with a small two-cylinder range-extending gasoline engine as well. That option will likely set you back an additional $4,000. When the machine bows in 2014, it will likely come with a charge time of four to six hours when suckling from a 220-volt outlet.
As far as the conventionally powered loaner car goes, the cost of the program is included in the i3's purchase price, though BMW has yet to figure out how many free loans will be offered, or what happens after that threshold is reached.
Giles Taylor succeeds Ian Cameron as head of Rolls-Royce design
Thu, 28 Jun 2012Back in the day, a Rolls-Royce looked pretty much the same as a Bentley, but with a different grille. Once BMW took over Rolls-Royce, however, it was faced with the challenge of visually separating itself from its former sister brand. And most would agree that it did so pretty well. But its cars have looked pretty much the same ever since. What Rolls-Royce needs, then, is a bit of a design shake-up. And that's just what this latest appointment could bring.
After a baker's dozen years as design director at Rolls-Royce (and twenty years designing for the BMW Group altogether), Ian Cameron is retiring from his post. In his place, Rolls-Royce has named Giles Taylor as its new director of design. In his new capacity, Taylor will report directly to BMW Group chief designer Adrian van Hooydonk, and be responsible for all design matters related to the Rolls-Royce brand and its products.
Taylor was promoted to the role from his previous position as head of exterior design for the marque, a position he's held for barely more than a year. We'll be eagerly watching to see what the veteran British car designer has in store for the future of Rolls-Royce. In the meantime you can read the full announcement below.
2014 BMW i3
Thu, 24 Oct 2013We can only imagine the challenges BMW is going to have explaining the i3 electric vehicle to the world. It's got a new powertain (all-electric, with optional range extender), a new production method (carbon fiber reinforced plastic!), a new brand (the 'i' line) and a new vehicle type (it's a city car). Despite everything that's different, BMW is still trying to talk about the i3 as if it fits in with the rest of the company's vehicles. But it doesn't. Not really. And that's going to make the marketing and salespeoples' jobs quite difficult.
Which is a shame, really, since the i3 is amazing. If it didn't carry the BMW 'heritage' baggage, people would be falling over each other to sing its praises. This is one of the smoothest, roomiest and slickest electric vehicles we've ever driven, with a lot of hidden surprises. It is a wonderful city car, and well designed for the car-sharing, emissions-aware drivers of the near future. But since the i3 carries the BMW name, everyone we ran into while cruising the narrow streets of and flat countryside around Amsterdam in a Euro-spec i3 recently wanted to know one thing: is it "a BMW" as well as being an electric car? During one photo shoot, a police car pulled up next to us, totally stopping traffic. While my co-driver and I instantly thought we were going to be asked to move, the officer simply wanted to know what the scoop was about all the i3s he had seen that day. Oh, and does it drive like a BMW?
We'll answer that question in detail below. The most important thing to remember is that the BMW i3 comes from the new "i" sub-brand within BMW. Like Mini, the i line really is a different beast, despite the roundel's presence. So, what makes a BMW a BMW? The answer is as easy as ABC. Or, in this case, as simple as Bayerische Motoren Werke, or Bavarian Motor Works.
