Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ... 

NOTE ON THE TITLE:  I have had to relist this due to a problem with a recall on this car when it was new.   Please review the AutoCheck.  This car was recalled in CA for front end issues when it was new, as part of a general recall of this model, not specific to this car.  The title itself is completely clear and
 this vehicle has never been wrecked.  I have driven the car for 90+k miles over nearly five years and never had front end problems. If you buy this car and find the title is in any way impaired (setting aside this issue), I'll refund 110% of the purchase and shipping costs.



Given its age, this car is in excellent condition with no know mechanical problems.  It has had all repairs during the five years I've owned it at the local BMW dealer.  I've changed the oil and filter religiously every 7500 miles, using only fully synthetic Mobil 1 oil.  Runs out and drives great.  Very powerful.

Exterior:  Beautiful and rare Orient Blue.  No damage, rust, etc.  Ding here and there from parking lots, etc.  

Interior:  Grey Leather with black and walnut trim.  No rips, tears,  stains, etc., in either mats or seats.  Interior shows virtually no wear, since for the 90k+ miles I've driven it, I was mostly alone on business.  Passenger and back seats are basically untouched.  

Truck:  Mat completely intact.  Mini-spare w/jack.  Intact BMW toolbox.  

EXTRAS included:  XM radio unit (Delphi Roady 2) professionally installed with exterior antenna mounted on trunk lid.  Full set of Winter Mats (hard rubber; I've used these full time to protect the carpets.) 

Things I know:  front passenger cup holder won't open; there is a crack in the walnut trim directly above the driver's cup holder; and the"angel eyes" or "halo" effects on the headlights have never worked so when you start the car it shows parking lights out warning.  I replaced the bulbs with LED upgrades - nothing.

Sold AS IS, WHERE IS.  Buyer responsible for pickup or shipping.  No Warranties of any kind attach to this sale.   Despite the care I've given it and the excellent condition, it is still 9+ year old used car with 140k+ miles on it.

Reserve is set low,  at average trade-in. See my perfect feedback and bid with confidence.


On May-22-13 at 07:42:05 PDT, seller added the following information:

This vehicle will be available for pickup starting Tuesday 5/28/13.


Please ask any question you may have.  I will post all relevant answers for all to see.

BMW i8 with 500+ horsepower in the cards?

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

While BMW makes plenty of machinery to keep enthusiasts interested, its most enticing models are often based on more ordinary ones. That's what made the arrival of the i8 so captivating, emerging as the first stand-alone BMW sports coupe since the M1. But if its dual purpose - trying its best to both embrace the earth and traverse it rapidly - somehow left you disappointed, the next development could prove to fix that.
According to Automobile, BMW is working on a more potent i8S model. The hardcore version of the hybrid sports car would offer more power and a stiffened chassis to make it that much more aggressive. The Bavarian automaker is reportedly still evaluating two potential powertrain options: The first would pair a 2.0-liter twin-turbo four-cylinder good for 320 horsepower to an electric motor with another 204 hp. The second would use a 3.0-liter straight six with 480 hp and an electric motor with 109 hp. Both would be mated to a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission and an integrated starter motor packing an extra 27 hp.
Either way, we'd be looking at a combined output well in excess of 500 horsepower - far more than the existing i8's 228-hp turbo three and 129-hp electric motor - dropping the 0-62 time down from 4.1 seconds to an estimated 3.5. Couple that to a more advanced carbon chassis, wider tires and other goodies, and the i8 would be transformed into a far more capable performance machine than it already is.

Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker

Sat, 02 Aug 2014



There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.

BMW 1 Series sedan prepares to fight Mercedes CLA, Audi A3

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

The entry-level premium sedan segment is pretty hot right now, with the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class doing well for their respective automakers here in the US. Of course, BMW has its 2 Series, but that's currently only available as a coupe, with a convertible bodystyle forthcoming. That all looks to change, however, as our spies recently caught BMW testing a four-door 1 Series sedan that seems to have the A3 and CLA clear in its sight.
BMW's entry-level four-door is expected to ride on the same front-wheel-drive UKL platform that we recently spied in Mini Countryman form. We're pretty sure this thing will launch under the 1 Series line (odds for sedans and wagons, evens for coupes and convertibles), but it's anyone's guess with BMW - after all, the five-door, front-drive Active Tourer wears a 2 Series nameplate.
Look for the 1 Series sedan to launch sometime in 2016 as a 2017 model. Better late than never in the entry-lux segment, we suppose.
