Bmw 735i Cannonball Run 3!!!!!!!!!! John Candy Car! on 2040-cars
Milford, Massachusetts, United States
Great car however at this time, DOES NOT RUN. I left the windows down one day, it got wet inside and I can't figure out what's wrong.
Clear title. New windshield and a few other things fixed after I got it on ebay 2 years ago in order to get it to pass inspection. Two new front tires, a new windshield etc..I have a bunch of extra parts, )(cluster, relays/modules/computers) I got on ebay trying to figure out what the problem is. Again, it needs front end fixed once you get it running. (apparently, these cars are so heavy, they all have a front end issue that needs to be addressed at some point. It wasn't in an accident or drove over anything to cause this problem, it's the nature of the beast.) This is a super car and I wanted to keep it because it is now a classic and amazingly it is evaluated at $5300 according to the tax bill that just arrived. The interior is somewhat taken apart from trying to figure out what's wrong with it. (I checked the fusable links as recommended online forums) I think it might be a short circuit. The battery is probably dead at this point, not sure if it will take a charge because it's been sitting for over a year. SOLD AS IS WHERE IS, NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. CLEAR TITLE! Has a lot of miles but the body is in good shape and worth fixing/restoring. I have my eye on another project so will let this one go due to lack of space. YOU MUST TOW IT AWAY. I thought it might be the ANTI-THEFT relay? But not sure what's keeping it from starting. A short circuit? I took out the OBC and got another to try but that didn't solve the problem. The interior is somewhat taken apart. (see pictures) I also found out it may be as simple as the glove compartment light!??????????! But can't find a replacement. The worst thing I can think of as far as condition is, the front drivers seat is BEAT! But you don't feel it when your behind the wheel. It had a seat cover but I threw it away because I didn't like the feel of it. The engine and transmission were perfect when it was running. Died in my driveway due to leaving the windows down and it flash rained, I ran out to start it to put up the windows and that's when it went down. Hasn't moved since. if you love BMW's, here's one to play with! Top of the line back in 1992. Now a CLASSIC! 3 more years and it's ANTIQUE! Beautiful automobile otherwise.... If no one is interested, I will keep on trying to figure it out because I know it will be worth it in the end. Thanks for your interest. |

BMW to announce location of new plant in Mexico in July
Tue, 20 May 2014Volkswagen manufactures in Mexico. Soon Audi will as well, and Mercedes-Benz is said to be working on a deal to assemble some of its cars at a Nissan plant in Mexico too. That leaves BMW out of the mix of German automakers building cars South of the Border, but that may soon be rectified, as well.
According to Automotive News, the Bavarian automaker is preparing to announce the site of its first Mexican assembly plant as soon as July, now just two months away. BMW already builds cars for North American consumption at its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, but has reportedly been keen to capitalize on cheaper labor and the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement to supply vehicles to the United States and Canada especially.
When BMW does announce the site of the plant - reportedly narrowed down to either Hidalgo or San Luis Potosi - it is tipped to work its way up to 100,000 vehicles per year at the new location, potentially to include the 3 Series as well as smaller, front-drive models, including Minis.
BMW invests in carbon fiber for use beyond i and M models
Tue, 13 May 2014The immense amount of resources BMW has poured into its i brand program hasn't stopped, and recent developments indicate it's likely to pay off for BMW and BMW buyers outside the i brand. The i8 has already sold out its first year run, the i3 racked up 10,000 orders before it even went on sale and is already the subject of public discussion about being stretched into an i5, and a new investment in carbon fiber production has the automaker talking about CFRP use in non-i and non-M models.
BMW and SGL Group got together to form SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers (ACF), and the joint venture produces all of the CFRP for the i3 and i8 on two production lines at its plant in Moses Lake, Washington. After already investing $100 million to increase capacity, BMW has announced that another $200 million will add four more production lines, tripling production from 3,000 tons per year to 9,000 tons. When the expansion is complete in 2015, BMW says the Moses Lake facility will be the world's largest carbon fiber plant.
That's a lot of weave and the long view is that it will find its way into core models, with BMW exec Dr. Klaus Draeger saying, "As part of an intelligent mix of materials, we will apply carbon also beyond our BMW i and BMW M models in the future," and be able to do so "at competitive costs and in large quantities."
Next-gen Mini could sire 10 different models including PHEV
Sat, 12 Oct 2013The first generation of the reimagined, BMW-backed Mini was a simple things, confined to two body styles - hatchback and four-seat convertible. It wasn't until the second-generation platform came along that Mini began truly expanding, offering a long-wheelbase model, a roadster, a coupe, a five-door crossover, and a three-door, um, thing?
BMW is aiming for 10 to 12 different vehicles from just two brands off one platform.
According to an interview between Automotive News Europe and the BMW board member that oversees Mini, Peter Schwarzenbauer, the funky British brand will be expanding far beyond the seven body styles it currently offers. "With the new ULK architecture, we currently have in mind eight to 10 models," Schwarzenbauer told ANE. That architecture he mentions, will also underpin the BMW 1 Series GT and the BMW X1, meaning that BMW is aiming for 10 to 12 different vehicles from just two brands off one platform (and that's only what we know about).
