After a lot of time and fun on this car, it is finally time to move on. This car has quite a story, and a lot of pictures of the build to go along with it if you are interested. I originally picked this car up two years ago from another loving owner as a 530i M sport 5 speed with a broken windshield and no stereo completely bone stock for $4100. It has a list of receipts from past owners along with all of the book stuff from BMW when it was originally purchased. I had the
Performance mods: -Headers -Custom Exhaust -Cold Air Intake -Stainless Steel Braided -Hawk Organic Pads -Custom BC Racing Coilovers -NGK-R Spark Plugs -Short Shifter -Custom Tuned ECU -LSD -320hp 330tq -Other stuff that I cant remember Maintenance: -Water Pump -Radiator -Fan -Fan Shroud -Coolant Hoses -Engine Mounts -Spark Plugs NGK-R -Fully re-gasketed -New Bushings -New Suspention -Trans Oil -Diff oil -Engine oil always changed with Mobil-1 Full Synthetic -Brake Lines -Brake Fluid -Coolant -Air Filter -Other stuff that I cant remember The car is a load of fun to drive, it does 0-60 in 4.7 second and loves to slide around corners. The paint could be in better condition, but it is 18 years old, and looks pretty good for that age. It is very solid and I will miss it forever, but I am ready for another project now. Thank you:) |

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
Watch a trio of Santas ride up Mulholland Drive
Wed, 25 Dec 2013Santa Claus might have his eight reindeer - or nine, when it's foggy - to help him deliver presents in most parts of the world, but in southern California, it looks like he's traded up from Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and company to BMW, Yamaha and Ducati. RNickeyMouse is usually the place to check out spectacular motorcycle crashes on video along LA's Mulholland Drive, but a recent video caught a trio of Santas carving up the iconic, twisty road.
The three Santas are together, riding what appears to be a BMW S1000RR, Yamaha R1 and a hard-to-tell custom bike that could be a Ducati 1098. The video, which is posted below, also catches a bonus Santa riding solo on another S1000RR. Happy Christmas to all, and to all a cool bike!
Company car offers in decline, but not at The Cheesecake Factory [w/poll]
Sat, 22 Jun 2013As businesses look to keep high-level employees happy, it seems that use of company cars can still be an effective method, although fewer companies are employing it. According to Businessweek, only about 25 percent of companies offer company vehicles as a perk, while less than half give allowances for employees to use their personal vehicles for work purposes.
The report says that one business still in the practice of handing out company cars is The Cheesecake Factory, which offers the benefit to top managers. And we're not talking about some econobox, either. The article indicates the restaurant chain hands out BMWs on a three-year basis - although the company's own report says that the type of vehicle "varies with the executive's level."
Still, we mostly agree with the article's conclusion that money is the best way to keep employees or attract new ones, even if a corporate car is a big perk. What do you think? Let us know, in the poll below, whether a company car could sway you to work for a certain company (not just the Cheesecake factory, where the "Glamburgers" portion of the menu alone is enough to keep a guy hanging around).
