Selling a beautiful and rare Montego Blue Metallic Exterior/Saddle Brown Dakota Leather Interior 335i Convertible with many options and extremely low miles. It is my weekend car, so not driven often and garaged. I have all the service records. All work done at VOB BMW in Maryland and Erhard BMW in Michigan. This car is a joy to own and very attractive with the M-Sport Bumper and sharp color. I've added a clear bra professionally installed to avoid stone chips in the front.
Please don't contact me to make a lower bid than the starting bid of 29,000. I am not interested and am happy to keep it for another year if no one realizes the gem this car is.
Some of the surprising pleasures of this car are:
-Color combination will get many comments
-First year for the hardtop so appears much more new than it is
-Hardtop gives a tremendous sense of security and also keeps noise to normal car levels
-Sport seats are fantastically comfortable. Sit in the Sport seat and non-Sport seat before buying any BMW
-M-Sport bumper makes it look much less dowdy that most 2007s. Looks like an M3 from the front.
-The programmable 6 buttons are ingenious. You can program one to a specific phone number on your iPhone and it will call the number with one touch of the button without you taking your phone out or docking it. I've also got my home address navigation set as one of the buttons. This might not seem obvious, but it's great to get a traffic-compensated estimated time that I'll be home.
-I updated the DVD for the navigation last year, so all the Starbucks are more or less current.
-The voice control is so-so. Works, but you have to speak quite clearly.
-The cruise control is quite thoughtfully done with a little dial that mimics the speedometer, and lots of adjustments. It will also brake on the downhills to maintain the speed. Very German.
-Real rear seat.
-I will never buy another car that doesn't have the pivoting Xenon lights that point around the corner. Wonderful.
-The Comfort Access option means two great things: you don't ever have to take your key out of your pocket to get into the car, turn it on, turn it off, lock the car. also, you can open and close the top standing outside the car by holding down the lock or unlock key. This last feature is shockingly useful.
I bought a set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 225/40R18 winter tires on nice aluminum OEM looking wheels that I bought from Tire Rack. Those are included and are pictured. The car has it's original tires on it, which the BMW dealer says are still fine (I don't drive this car as much as I'd like to).
Other than normal maintenance, I've had various squeaks and rattles obsessively gone over by the BMW dealer. I've had the HPFP fuel pump replaced on a recall/warranty even though I never noticed anything wrong. I've had the turbocharger replaced when I thought I heard a little rattle at start up. I had the driver airbag replaced when I noticed a bit of discoloration on the BMW emblem on the steering wheel (which I guess comes as an assembly with the airbag). I've had the front bumper replaced with the M-Sport bumper after scraping the original bumper on a tight underground parking garage wall while backing up. Very frustrating to have my baby harmed, but a great excuse to get the better looking bumper. There are two little dents that I've tried to capture in photos at the end. It's hard to see in the photos, but when the light strikes it just right, you can make it out. They are penny sized little indentations - Probably from poor parking lot behavior from other drivers. There is a 4 inch scratch in the rear trunk that I took a photo of too. The BMW dealer sealed it up with a matching paint about a year ago and I see no ill effects. It pained me greatly at the time though. Hopefully you can make it out in the picture I've attached to the listing.
I'm sure I haven't answer all your questions, so please let me know if there's anything you'd like to know. It has all the options except for automatic transmission, Active Cruise and Active Steering.

BMW i5 could get Toyota-sourced hydrogen power
Tue, 18 Nov 2014It's starting to feel like the automotive landscape is right on the cusp of a boom in hydrogen-fueled vehicles. After all, the Toyota FCV is nearly ready, Volkswagen is readying a fuel cell concept for this week's Los Angeles Auto Show and Hyundai already sells its Tucson Fuel Cell. The next big name to add to that list might be BMW, as the company's co-development deal with Toyota starts to bear fruit.
According to Autocar, BMW may use a version of the fuel cell system from the Toyota FCV in the future i5. As part of its eco-oriented i sub-brand, the i5 is expected to be a stretched version of the i3 (pictured above) with extra rear legroom and cargo space. It's unclear at the moment whether a battery-powered pure electric powertrain will also be available. If accurate, then the rumor could give the Bavarian brand a counterattack against Mercedes-Benz' planned fuel cell vehicle in 2017.
BMW and Toyota first signed the memorandum of understanding to co-develop fuel cells, lightweight technology and a sports car back in 2012, and they made the arrangement official in late 2013. So far, few details on the progress of the work have been disclosed, but the performance model has been rumored to use a front-engine, all-wheel drive layout with supercapacitors.
2015 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe priced from $118,225* [w/poll]
Wed, 05 Mar 2014If you're in the market for a high-performance BMW and you live in Europe, you've typically had two range of options at your disposal: you could go for one of BMW's own M models, or turn to Alpina. Though technically independent of BMW, Alpina is about as close to the manufacturer as a tuner can get, and many of its models are offered through BMW's own dealer network.
That's overseas, but in the North American market, BMW has typically taken a different approach, offering just one Alpina model - the B7 - to fill in for a lack of M7 performance sedan. That all changes, however, with the debut of the BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe.
Slotting in alongside the M6 Gran Coupe, the Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe is marginally more expensive and slightly less powerful, but makes up for those relative (and negligible) shortcomings in spades. Both are based on the 6 Series Gran Coupe and both pack a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, but with key differences. Where the M6 produces 560 horsepower, the Alpina offers 'only' 540. But where the M6 channels 500 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Alpina drives 540 lb-ft to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic.
Toyota, Mercedes, BMW top automakers included in List of Best Global Brands
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Interbrand, a consultancy firm, has published its 13th annual list of the best global brands. Besides seeing some shakeups at the top - Apple and Google unseated Coca-Cola (a company that has dominated the survey since its birth), the 100-item list features 14 automakers, most of which enjoyed double-digit gains in brand value.
Toyota managed to retain its spot as the study's top automaker. It finished the survey in 10th position overall (the same as last year), despite a 17-percent improvement in its brand value, from $29.33 billion to $35.34 billion. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Honda all made the top 20, at 11th, 12th and 20th place, respectively. Hopping a ways down the list, we come across Volkswagen in 34th place, up from 39th in last year's study, with a brand value of $11.12 billion, a 20-percent improvement over 2012. Ford and Hyundai round out the automakers in the top 50, at 42 and 43.
Porsche made the largest year-over-year gain of any automaker, with its brand value increasing 26 percent to $6.47 billion. Chevrolet meanwhile, cracks the list for the very first time at 89th place. As Interbrand notes, Chevy's inclusion is notable because of the sheer number of vehicles it moves for General Motors and its recent push in developing markets. The final interesting note on this survey is the position of an automaker that takes its name and logo more seriously than perhaps any other - Ferrari. The Italian exotic manufacturer finished 98th out of 100, with just $4.01 billion in brand value, a six-percent improvement over 2012.
