This BMW is an original same owner low mileage survivor for 31 years!  I am the 2nd owner.  The original owner drove the car regularly only during the first few years of ownership, after which it was garaged and serviced regularly, but driven only on occasion. Mileage is verifiable 50k, and a recent mechanical inspection reveals that everything is in top condition save for an intermittently sticking fuel gauge.

All panels and paint are original and overall in excellent condition except for a few normal paint chips & scratches which I had professionally touched up. In addition, paint as photographed shows no evidence of oxidization.  The rest of the exterior is clean, shiny metal, unfaded, uncracked rubber, and tight fit.  Quick to tarnish details like stainless window trim and wiper arms show no rust, discoloration, or other problems normally stemming from long periods of storage. The only other small flaw is a rock chip low on the front windshield just about the window wiper.

The interior presents as close to new condition, with no obvious signs of age or use. This is a nice optioned example, specs include vinyl, A/C, AM/FM stereo, fog lights and sunroof. The dash shows no cracking, warping, or discoloration, and switchgear and instruments are also nicely preserved.  The only non-stock item is a discreet remote control for the trunk-mounted CD player.  This system can easily be removed.  The head unit itself remains OEM.

Mechanically speaking, this 320i is extremely well sorted with strong maintenance records dating back to 1990.  Mileage is verified by service receipts and state inspection documents dating from 2000, 2003, 2005, and 2007, as well as a 2000 receipt from Sears for a new battery.  Original paperwork includes a roadside service program brochure, various salestime pamphlets and the owners manual. The engine compartment still retains all of its original stickers and labels throughout!  A/C has been converted to R134a, and works great!  Tires have very few miles, and although not pictured, the wheel wells and underside areas are also very clean with absolutely no signs rust anywhere! 

Please note: auto check report shows that the car has been in a minor accident. I talked to the original owner and it was not in any kind of fender accident what so ever!  He said he rolled over something in the road back in 1991, and dented the oil pan slightly. So he reported it to his insurance company to have the oil pan replaced.  

true survivor car that has been pampered its entire life!  Well optioned 5 speed manual transmission, with AC, Sunroof, Fog Lights, AM/FM Stereo, along with its great color combo!  A very difficult find in this original condition! 

This car has also been accepted and featured on the BaT (Bring A Trailer) site, exclusive section!

BMW bringing special Horse Edition 7 Series to Beijing

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

The Beijing Motor Show is just a couple of weeks away, and BMW wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to show off its latest wares to one of its most vital markets. So when the doors open in Beijing, BMW will showcase the new 2 Series Active Tourer, 2 Series Coupe, M3 and M4, 4 Series Gran Coupe and X4. It will also introduce the i3 and i8 to China for the first time. But those are all models we've seen already. What's new is... wait for it... the 7 Series Horse Edition.
Not celebrating horses so much as the Year of the Horse, this special edition 7 Series is based on the long-wheelbase model and comes with all manner of M equipment packages, a special paint job from BMW Individual and unique touches inside and out. BMW isn't saying which engine it features, but it sells the series in China in 730Li, 740Li, 750Li, 760Li and ActiveHybrid forms, with rear- or all-wheel drive. Given that the one pictured is wearing an xDrive badge, it would have to be either the 740Li or 750Li, but buyers will presumably be able to order it in whichever spec they desire.
While it may not be as exciting as the 9 Series concept BMW is rumored to have lined up for the Beijing show as well, you can bet that the Bavarian automaker will find plenty of buyers for this extra-special, extra-Chinese, extra-equestrian luxury sedan, and command a healthy premium from each and every one of them.

2015 BMW i8 offers you a fast ride to the future for $135,700* [w/video]

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

BMW's long-form teasing and rollout of its incredibly cool i8 has put us in a unique position to report from its world debut here in Frankfurt. Typically, an auto show debut marks just the start of the information dump about a new vehicle. The i8, however, is a car that we've already driven and reviewed, so perhaps the biggest news from the show floor is the official price of the thing, as well as getting to see it live and in person, of course.
Arriving in US showrooms in the spring of 2014, the i8 performance plug-in hybrid will carry a price tag of $135,700 (*not including $925 for destination and handling charges). That kind of cash puts the i8 near the very top of the BMW range (slotting just under the top-trim 7-Series models), and will buy a massive amount of new technology.
The four-seat i8 has the look of a true supercar, and its new-tech drivetrain will offer up the performance of a stirring sports car, at least. A TwinPower Turbo, three-cylinder, 1.5-liter engine will make 231 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque that's gets sent to the rear wheels, while a 96-kilowatt electric motor doles out 131 hp and 184 lb-ft of maximum torque to the fronts. Total system output of 362 hp and 420 lb-ft allows the i8 to sprint to 62 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds with all-wheels-driven handling, and it still returns an astonishing 94 miles per gallon US.

BMW 3 Series wagon configurator up, priced from $41,450

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

If you're still smarting from the shock of the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo, we have good news for you. BMW has just fired up the configurator for the 2014 3 Series wagon. Prices start at $41,450, excluding an $895 destination and handling fee. The price tag will buy you a 328i xDrive Sports Wagon with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine boasting 241 horsepower paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment. The automaker's xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive is also standard, as is a fuel-saving auto start/stop function and 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-season run flat rubber.
Buyers can step up to Sport Line trim for $2,600, and doing so graces the 3 Wagon with 18-inch wheels, high-gloss black accents outdoors as well as a sport leather steering wheel, high-gloss or aluminum interior trim and a black signature key fob. Luxury Line trim will set you back $2,300 abd features chrome trim accents outdoors and wood trim inside along with other goodies. Buyers can also opt for Modern Line trim at $2,300, complete with a turbine-design 18-inch alloy wheel, matte chrome trim bits outdoors and a range of interior trim options.
Our favorite of the bunch? That would be M Sport trim. While the tweaks are largely aesthetic, we dig the notion of 8-way power adjustable sport seats indoors and exclusive M Estoril Blue paint outside. Expect to pay $3,950 for the pleasure. Head over to the BMW site to build your own.
