2006 Black Bmw 325i Brown Leather-navigation-sport Package-low Miles-great Care on 2040-cars
New Lenox, Illinois, United States
This auction is for a black BMW 325i sedan. I bought it for ~$28,000 in January 2010 from a BMW dealership. It was Certified Pre-Owned and came with a Warranty and Maintenance Package. Which means I have put this car in the BMW shop a few times for a full check up and 100% repair (hey, I already paid for the service so might as well use it). Even if I felt any slight strangeness in the way it drove I took it in. The service record is stellar as you'll see. The car is fully paid off. It has all the same features as a typical 3-series BMW, but there are some distinct options and additions to this vehicle that make it ultra premium even within its class. Many of these features contribute to really enhancing the experience. The two occasions where I got a base 3-series loaner at the dealership (for regular maintenance), I hated those vehicles. Some of the most basic things like navigation, sports package, HID headlights make such a difference in this vehicle. THIS CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE INTERIOR IS IMPECCABLE. I MEAN, I SERIOUSLY HAVEN'T SEEN A BETTER LOOKING 3-SERIES INTERIOR. AND I'M SURE YOU'LL AGREE WHEN YOU SEE IT. THE EXTERIOR IS IN GREAT CONDITION AS WELL AND WITH THE NEW WHEELS I PUT ON, THE CAR JUST LOOK AMAZING. The main features which I believe differentiate this car from a lot of the vehicles you'll see on eBay (which typically don't have any add-on packages) are: Gas tank lock - When your car is locked, your gas tank is locked. When you unlock all car doors, the gas tank also unlocks and then you can push it to open. This is a super neat and safe feature. Two sets of Premium wheels: You get two sets of 4 wheels with this car. The first is four 18" premium alloy wheels, which are currently on the car as seen in the photo. These retail for about $3,500 and typically come with a 330i or 335i. I replaced my original wheels with these. The other set is the original premium 17" wheels that come ONLY with the sport package. They look much nicer than what you see with the typical base sedan. Built-in Navigation: This vehicle comes with built in navigation. The iPhone/iPod connector (which works for both iPhone 4 and 5) integrates directly into the car's computer system and allows you to control your music directly from the car without having to touch your phone. HID Headlights - basically white lights that look super premium. A lot of cars selling on eBay have the basic yellow lights instead Halo/Angel eyes - this is the BMW trademark headlight which has the halo look. A lot of cars selling on eBay don't have this Moving headlights - when you turn your headlights turn as well to increase your field of vision. This reduces your blind spots while turning at night Adaptive rear view mirror - when you drive at night, the rearview mirror dims itself so that cars behind you do not blind you with their headlights Sports package - this is an amazing feature. You get bucket seats with driver side adjustable width and height (i.e., you can have the seat grip your upper body to give you more control for high speeds). You also get a more premium steering wheel with a much bolder look, and of course the steering wheel is adjustable Premium seats - You get premium dakota brown leather seats. This is super premium. Everyone who steps into my car makes a comment about it. When I bought this car, there were only 3 in the whole country listed on Craigslist and eBay that had this interior color. It is very rare Low miles - This is a 2006 vehicle and the mileage is just at 75,877 miles now. So the car has been much less than 10k miles per year. This is much below the average 12-15k miles. That's why I haven't had many maintenance issues with the car There are four main things to point out about this vehicle in terms of the condition:

Forza Motorsport profiles courageous paralyzed racer
Fri, 08 Aug 2014It's easy to look at racing video games as just a time waster or a hobby. In reality, though, they're often powerful tools for aspiring racers to learn tracks, race craft and how to set up a car in an easily accessible, risk-free environment. We aren't just talking about proper computer-based sims, like iRacing. Console-based racers like Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo provide a test bed for racers of all sorts.
For Mario Bonfante, Jr., a former motorcycle racer that was involved in a brutal accident that left him in a wheelchair with only limited use of his arms, Forza is a bit more. It allows him to perfect the setup of his personal racecar, a heavily modified E46 BMW M3, complete with hand controls.
Check out Mario's inspiring story.
BMW 1 Series getting a small nose job
Tue, 06 Aug 2013As BMW prepares to launch its new 2 Series lineup, it appears that the current 1 Series is going to get a little attention for itself. Based on these spy photos, the 1 Series hatchback (F20/F21), which is not offered in the US, will be getting a minor facelift in the near future.
From what we can see in these images, the updated 1 Series will definitely be getting a tweaked front end, with most of the attention focusing on the air intakes and grille. Our shooter tells us that it is possible that the headlights may yet be reworked in some way by the time we see this car in production form. It still isn't clear if we'll ever see this bodystyle or the next-gen 1 Series in the US, but our most recent report seems to indicate that the car's fortunes will depend somewhat on how well the Mercedes CLA-Class and Audi A3 sell.
BMW Active Tourer to hit US showrooms in 2015
Tue, 26 Nov 2013It's been over a year since BMW unveiled the Concept Active Tourer at the Paris Motor Show, and another four months since it brought the concept back in Outdoor guise (pictured above). Now word has it that the Bavarian automaker is putting it into production.
Although production specs and dimensions have yet to be revealed, the Concept Active Tourer came in a bit smaller than the existing BMW X1. The production version is expected to be based on the same platform that underpins the new Mini hatchback revealed last week in LA, meaning that it will be predominantly front-drive, but an all-wheel-drive version could follow.
There will also be a longer version with a third row of seats, forming part of a new generation of front-drive BMWs to take on the likes of the Audi A1 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class family, of which the GLA will be the Active Tourer's most direct rival. Expect the Active Tourer to arrive in 2015 with a new front-drive sedan to follow in 2017 aimed particularly at the North American and Chinese markets.
