This BMW has had a lot of work done to it. I start with the cosmetic stuff.
When I got the vehicle it was involved in a minor fender bender that bent the driver's side fender. It damaged the headlight, fender, and hood. I was able to "mend" the fender (still out of alignment since it was meant as more of a temporary fix) and headlight. That's was at least $300 of work by myself for parts alone. The interior has been COMPLETELY restored. Each seat has been reupholstered with new padding and leather. It is almost immaculate with the exception of the small hole in the drivers side seat. In interior alone the vehicle has had $1200 worth of work. The dashboard is not cracked which is almost impossible on the 80's vinyl dashboard. The Odometer gave out before I received the car, at 176,000. The previous owner clocked the engine at 184,000 miles. That was on the list of repairs, eventually. That's it for cosmetics. The engine has been a piece of work. I've replaced over a $1,500 in parts ever since I've got this car in January. When I got it it was not running with a blown Headgasket. I had to complete the Headgasket job which included: fan clutch assembly, ALL radiator pipes, water pump, new intake manifold, new Headgasket, new intake and exhaust gaskets, new air intake rubber hoses and boot, new oil return tube, new spark plugs, new timing belt, new accessory belt, new power steering belt, new thermostat, and new breather hose for the crankcase. All in all, it was over a grand in parts as everything was ordered OEM from Pelican Parts. I have a new Fuel Pressure Regulator coming in as well for installation. I have another easy $150 in spare parts which include all four brake rotors and the rear brake pads, another timing belt, power steering belt, accessory belt, lots is seals (crank, valve stem, and other various seals that I am not positive what they go to), and an older headlight assembly (not the ellipsoid, the OEM metal one), and some other various radiator pipes, all are being included with this purchase. All in all the amount of money that has been put into this thing is about $3,150, without taking it to a mechanic. It runs, and runs solidly. It just needs a new oil change and some tender love and care. This car would be a perfect project car. I do not have the time to continue to fix this vehicle as I move soon. |

BMW joins the early holiday advertising fray with three new ads
Thu, 06 Nov 2014October 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.
BMW shows up-armored X5 concept and we can't get near it
Wed, 11 Sep 2013BMW has brought a slightly different concept vehicle to the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Rather than something that foreshadows a future product or a new design direction, the Munich-based manufacturer has brought an X5 that's designed to be shot at. It's called the Concept X5 Security Plus. The Concept X5 name is a bit misleading, though. It's based on the 2014 X5, while BMW already builds an armored CUV, called the X5 Security. The concept tag has to do with the "Security Plus" part.
Engineered to be compliant with VR6 security standards - the current X5 Security is for VR4 standards - the Concept X5 will quite happily shrug off direct attacks from an AK-47. Thanks to sealed joints, high-strength steel moldings, high-performance steel body panels and special, polycarbonate-coated security glass, Kalashnikov's finest, whether used as a firearm or as a melee weapon, would be useless against this X5.
Built alongside the standard X5 in BMW's Spartanburg, SC factory, the X5 is shipped to a BMW facility in Toluca, Mexico for installation of the armor and security features. The company claims this delivers a more thoroughly engineered protective solution than aftermarket retrofitting.
2013 BMW X1
Tue, 23 Apr 2013A Tasty Bit Of Old School For The New School
Against the backdrop of fervent hand-wringing from brand purists, BMW is on the cusp of finally offering front-wheel-drive vehicles. While that's a shock to the constitution, many are pointing to the company's fine-handling Mini offerings as an article of faith that it can get this drivetrain paradigm shift right. That may be true, but there's an even more important lesson that Mini has taught the decision-makers in Munich: how to make real money on small cars.
Before Mini came along, BMW - along with seemingly every other premium European automaker - never really figured out how to coax big dollars out of American wallets without developing cars that had large footprints, at least those other than sports cars. While the automaker really got rolling in America on the strength of little bantamweights like the 2002, it veered away from small cars sometime in the '80s. BMW subsequently crashed and burned with the cut-and-shut 318ti built off its E36 3 Series and, good as it is, the 1 Series hasn't given the company meaty volume or profits, either. Among other brands, the Audi A3 has never rung up big numbers, and the less said about the painful sales figures of the Volvo C30, the better. But Mini has beat the odds, blazing a more affordable and evidently compelling trail. As of late, the company's Countryman softroader has been a massive hit worldwide. No surprise then that BMW has reconsidered bringing over its smallest softroader, the X1, to the US.
