Thank you for your interest. I am selling my 1991 BMW 850i (E31) with 90,700 miles on the odometer (mileage might be slightly higher at time of sale). This car is in excellent condition for a 23 year old vehicle and has been very well taken care of. The body is very clean and free of rust and dents and has a shiny burgundy color (with only a few blemishes in the paint). This BMW has never seen snow as it was a Florida car that I bought three years ago and which I picked up in person and drove back to Pennsylvania without any problems at all. It has been stored during the winter months and was never driven in snow. The V12 engine is very strong and runs smoothly with no engine oil consumption at all. The automatic transmission shifts well from one gear to the next without any jerks. Suspension and brakes are in excellent condition as well. The interior is tan and very clean with a new headliner and new A, B, and C pillar coverings. The rear seats look as if no one ever sat in them (and how could one with so little space?), the passenger seat is very good, and the driver’s seat has a few minor blemishes (see pictures).  Everything works just the way it should.

I purchased this one-owner vehicle in November of 2011 with 88,365 miles on the odometer, and to this day I have only put a little over 2,000 miles more on it. It was supposed to be my sunny weekend driver, but I just haven’t had the opportunity to use it much. It is now time to part ways.

Questions are, of course, always welcome, and should you require more photos, please let me know. Personal inspections and test drives are encouraged, provided you are seriously interested in purchasing my BMW. There is no warranty of any kind! The car’s title is in my possession and will be transferred to the new owner at the time of full payment. My BMW is also for sale locally, which is why I must reserve the right to take it off Ebay at any moment.

Things that were done since I have owned this BMW:

 

2 new Batteries (4/22/2012 @ 89,800 miles)

Fuel Tank Door Hinge (4/23/2012)

Cover Center Console (5/8/12)

BMW suing Saab Automobile Parts for $3.2M

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

Saab might be all but dead, but that's not stopping automakers that were once involved with the Swedish brand from attempting to reclaim losses. According to a Fox Business report, BMW has filed a 2.6 million Euro suit ($3.2 million USD) with a Swedish district court against Saab Automobile Parts for deliveries that went unpaid.
In 2012, Saab Automobile AB signed an agreement BMW that would see the German automaker deliver four-cylinder gas engines for its 9-3 range.
The suit also asserts that Saab ordered a large number of spare parts, and no payments were made to BMW. At the time, Saab was far from liquid, and filed for bankruptcy in December of last year.

BMW recalling 1 Series ActiveE over bad drivetrain housing

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

There are always growing pains when automakers introduce new technologies. BMW is learning this with the electric powetrain used on the 2011 BMW ActiveE. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about half of the all-electric 1 Series coupes currently in the hands of the public are being recalled for a potential problem that could leave the cars stranded.
With 700 ActiveE models running around the US, 360 of these cars have insufficient sealing between the electric motor and transmission, which could lead to premature wear to the connection between the two, which in turn could result in a loss of propulsion. BMW started notifying affected owners by phone earlier this month.
While no automaker wants a recall on its hands, it's much better for BMW to learn such a lesson now on the low-production, lease-only ActiveE ahead of the car's successor, the BMW i3, which is expected to be a much higher-volume EV. Scroll down for the official recall notification.

BMW 328d confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Late last year, some of BMW's future diesel plans for the US market were leaked, and we learned that a diesel-powered version of the 3 Series sedan (pictured above in 335i guise) would be coming in the first quarter of 2013. That report appears to be holding true, as BMW has just confirmed the debut of the oil-burning 328d sedan as part of the company's New York Auto Show plans.
The 328d will be powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine good for 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The rear-wheel-drive sedan will hit 60 miles per hour in 7.2 seconds and fuel economy numbers could "well exceed" 40 miles per gallon. (Official EPA numbers will be released closer to the car's launch.)
Elsewhere on BMW's New York stand, the company will show off the 3 Series Gran Turismo that debuted at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month, as well as the Concept Active Tourer that we first saw in Paris last fall. Scroll down for the official press blast.
