Very rare 1986 BMW 745IA, this model was never sold in the states, a very limited few were in imported/federalized for the states, car is loaded with all the top options, comes with with highline interior trim (basically leather stitched everything, door panels, dashboard, center console, everything), also has the extremely rare limousine style rear remote control for the radio and seats (see pictures) the large 6 cylinder with the factory turbo is rated at 252 horsepower with 380 nm of torque, this particular model had as much horsepower as the 80s U.S. version M5/M6 (they were rated at 256 horsepower), these vehicle had a whole lot more torque (the beauty of the factory turbo), this was also considered the fastest sedan for it's time.  The best part is these vehicles have low turbo pressure 6psi, and I've read literature where you can double the power with a turbo pressure increase to 10 psi.  The only book value is can find on this car is NADA.com, they're price listing is $6100 low retail, $10000 high retail, I imagine the value should be somewhere underder the $6k.  Almost forgot to mention the car runs very good (the idle is rough on initial start but once it warms up its smooth), the ride is unbelievably butter smooth for a car this old, the engine, tranny and rear is tight, no smoke or oil coming from the exhaust pipe.  I reserve the right to end the auction early if I reach an agreeable price with buyer.  Any questions please call me at 910-494-7666 or email me at coorvette@hotmail.com    Basically all this car really needs is a good paint job, re-upholster the front seats and dash board, leather treatment on the door panels and rear seats, a good oil change and it would be a good driver.  Please see attached pictures

BMW M4 Coupe laps 'Ring in 7:52, bests outgoing M3

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Comparing Nürburgring Nordschleife lap times is a bit of a black art, especially when looking at times officially set by manufacturers matched against other sources. Driver skill and weather conditions play a huge roll in determining a quality time. Still, it appears BMW fans have reason to celebrate because the new M4 Coupe beat the previous-generation M3 by 13 seconds in a recent test by Germany's Sport Auto magazine.
Sport Auto conducts what it calls the Supertest, where it runs performance cars around the 'Ring and the short course at Hockenheim to create its own database of comparable times. The M4 with a dual-clutch transmission, ceramic brakes and Michelin Pilot Supersport tires managed a quality 7 minutes 52 second lap around the 12.8-mile course, compared to 8:05 from the last M3, according to BimmerPost. The new coupe also beat the magazine's posted times for the Audi RS5 Coupe, which did it in 7:59, and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG with an 8:01, but couldn't quite match the 7:44 set by a 911 Carrera S. Still, BMW must be somewhat pleased with these results of its new 425-horsepower coupe because it posted the magazine's cover and an image of the time on its official M Facebook page.
While the M4 apparently stands up to contemporaries and predecessors, new generations of the AMG and RS models are reportedly on the horizon. In other words, more tests will come.

BMW X4 reclaims dash of utility with Clemson student project [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

BMW seems willing to exploit every automotive niche it can find with creations like the four-door, 'crossover coupe' X4 and X6. Of course, these designs come with a compromise. That svelte fastback means that they just can't haul as much cargo as a more traditional, boxier hatchback. Fortunately, students at Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research might have a novel solution: the engineering graduate program has turned the crossover into a unique pickup.
Dubbed Deep Orange 4 concept, this functional prototype has an enclosed cargo area with a sliding glass panel that opens up to expose a pickup bed if more room is needed. Think of it as the GMC Envoy XUV of German crossovers. This isn't just an X4 with its roof hacked off, though. The students actually started with an X3 and grafted on this top later in addition to the two barn doors for access to the bed.
To make this project even more impressive, this pickup-crossover could conceivably be produced. The graduate students conducted an in-plant analysis of BMW's manufacturing abilities and went back to the university to create a plan for a low-volume vehicle that could actually be built. "The students working on this phase of the project did an excellent job of keeping costs down while finding optimal integration opportunities," said Rich Morris, vice president of assembly at BMW Manufacturing, in the university's release.

Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars

Sat, 18 Oct 2014

Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.
