Relisting due to some a-hole wasting everyone's time!!

$4,500 reserve.  Let's get this sold to someone who is a legit bidder!

This vehicle has never been in any accident!!!!!! Each panel still has the original vin on it!  If you have any doubts, please come inspect or ask me for specific photos!

Great shape, no rust and 64,000 original miles! I'm the 3rd owner (second owner was my father until January of last year).
History:
Original owner was from NYC and car was there for 1year when the owner was arrested for running a diamond smuggling operation (no joke). Car was confiscated, given a new vin and sold at auction to a friend of the family. I have the original vin and all of the panels match, but the title has a non bmw vin (clear unblemished title).
My parents owned the car from '95 (under 10,000 miles) on and drove it from May-October, the. It was stored for the winter. I have meticulous records of work done since they/I have owned it.
Timing belt broke in August of 2012 due to old age. I spent over 3,000 having the head refreshed, timing belt, water pump and all tired ancillaries on the engine replaced as necessary.
New tires, battery, alternator, front struts, steering rack and stainless Ireland Engineering knock off cat back exhaust. Will need new brakes soon, and I will replace soon if I have the time/an still driving the car.
Has a factory fiberglass hard top in great shape, though the saggy headliner was removed.
Original soft top is in rough shape, and needs an electric motor repair kit (google it. It's a common failure). Could also use rear shocks.
Selling because I have a 3 year old and even though he and I love the car, I'm sick of loading him in the back seat of it, and the wife doesn't love that it has no airbag or roof for him.
 
Having a tough time listing this as ebay doesn't recognize the current vin, I have to use the original vin and mark it as a salvage or it keeps removing my ad. The vin listed is the original bmw vin.   There was never any accident or salvage title. Title is free and clear with no blemishes, but the car was issued a new ny state vin number because a ny state police confiscated a car and gave it a new vin. Any questions email me for my phone number and we can talk or set up a visit.

2014 BMW 535d xDrive

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

I absolutely love to travel, but man, do I hate flying. Not the act of flying itself, but air travel in general - slogging through the airport, dealing with security, fighting with delays, only to finally be crammed like cattle into a too-small airplane seat where you're offered $8 sandwiches that are half-frozen. (Okay, it's not always that bad, but still.)
So when I was tasked with attending the launch for the 2015 Subaru WRX STI in Carmel, CA, I had a choice to make. I could fly into San Francisco and find my own way down to Carmel, or I could grab a turbo-prop out of SFO and fly directly into Monterey. And since you're reading about all of this in a car review, it's pretty obvious which option I chose.
The current BMW 5 Series isn't a new car, despite receiving a couple of updates for the 2014 model year. But what is new is the 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline six-cylinder engine found underhood, borrowed from the larger X5 xDrive35d and also seen in the upcoming 740Ld xDrive. It's a honey of an engine, and here in the 5 Series, it makes for a truly first-class experience.

BMW makes X7 in Spartanburg official

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

BMW has made it official - there will be a flagship crossover called X7, and it will be built right here in the US of A. The announcement was made today, confirming rumors of the new model at the Spartanburg, SC factory that broke earlier this week.
"Plant Spartanburg was built to enhance and expand the BMW lineup, underscoring the BMW Group commitment to the United States" said Dr. Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the BMW board of management in a statement. "In addition to the X3, X5, X6, and the new X4, we are today announcing another all-new, larger X model to be manufactured exclusively at this plant for our world markets: the X7."
BMW will spend $1 billion by 2016 upgrading its South Carolina factory, which already produces the X3, X5 and X6. The plant is currently capable of producing 300,000 units per year, but with the big investment from BMW, capacity will climb to 450,000 units. 800 jobs will be added as a result of the investment and new and upcoming models.

BMW planning six-cylinder i9 hybrid to celebrate centenary?

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

On the prospect of a new BMW M1 based on the company's new i8 hybrid, the jury has been in and out so much that we can't even tell which way it's likely to go. However, the latest reports coming in from Germany suggest that BMW may have something else up its sleeves. Rather than make a conventional gas-powered version of the i8, Germany's Auto Motor und Sport says BMW will make a more powerful one.
Tentatively dubbed i9, the hybrid sports car is rumored to pack a six-cylinder internal-combustion engine instead of the i8's turbo three. Coupled to more potent electric motors, it would figure to produce even more than the 357 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque already on tap in the i8, with further weight reductions to offset the bulkier engine.
Auto Motor und Sport says the mooted model will be produced to celebrate the Bavarian automaker's 100th anniversary and eclipse the i8's performance, with a projected 0-60 run in under four seconds en-route to taking the gloves off to crunch the Autobahn in electric bliss. The new i flagship would be another member of the company's growing electrified family, joining the existing i3 hatchback, upcoming i5 minivan and possible i8 Spyder down the line.
