1995 Bmw 8-series on 2040-cars
Stanford, California, United States

If you're looking for the pinnacle of CSi performance, and want to stand out in a crowd... look no further because
I have a unique car for sale. Are you offended by the idea of locking up a beautiful 850CSi thoroughbred in some
storage unit somewhere? Does it make you cringe at the idea of these rare and exotic cars rarely being driven on
the open road, depriving the world of their magic, rarity and mystique? Then this car is for you!
This 1995 BMW 850CSi is on offer for sale and is one of 225 US market examples; the lowest production car shipped
to the US in BMW's history. Only 1,510 of these unique cars were ever built worldwide. This example is a special
sleeper CSi that has been well documented on the Internet. All performance upgrades are CA legal and offer the next
level of performance and improvement beyond factory, making this a one-of-a-kind driving experience.
Back in 2007, I had read all over the Internet, all about the great work one of the previous owners (Greg Tessier)
had commissioned Chad at Bullet Performance to do on "chassis #166" and swore that one day I would build a car like
that. This car had a complete engine-out performance rebuild and today has less than 37K miles. In 2010, the
opportunity came for me to actually BUY #166 and so I took it. This is one of the best documented, cleanest 850CSis
in the country and is in excellent condition inside and out. The rest of the interior, engine bay and trunk reflect
a clean and very well cared-for specimen. A recent smoke test in October 2015 revealed absolutely NO leaks in the
case or intake. The interior smells like new, has never been smoked in and has been adult driven only. This car has
won several awards, been in BIMMER Magazine twice, and today is possibly the most well cared for CSi around. Like
the Most Interesting Man in the World says, "I don't always drive an 850CSi, but when I do, I borrow Taylor's
CSi..."
Background: This is a numbered, rare vehicle of limited production. As close to the M8 as you will find on the
road, the CSi was the company flagship of the ninetees. Its V12 power plant was bored and stroked by BMW M GmbH,
the renamed BMW Motorsport. Its displacement of 5576cc is 12 percent larger than the 850Ci's, but its 380 hp is 29
percent greater and the compression ratio was bumped to 9.8:1. Torque increased to 410 lb-ft from 360 in the 850Ci.
And THIS car has been performance enhanced from the factory CSi, and it represents more closely what the Dingolfing
factory should have put out in the ninetees.
This car turns heads everywhere it goes, and has a commanding presence about it, especially the wonderful Spitfire
whine of the starter. This is a California driver's car, always garaged, never exposed to snow.

BMW M235i Racing takes to the track
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Last month, BMW showed off a motorsports version of its new 2 Series Coupe called the M235i Racing. While that single image was obviously a rendering or design model, BMW Motorsports has now released a video showing the real deal being tested.
From what we can tell from beneath the camouflage, the wide-body fenders - to accommodate a 3.5-inch track stretch - are slightly different than the image BMW previously released. Still, the body is noticeably different from the stock coupe. The video, which is posted below, shows glimpses of the race-prepped interior, including a full FIA roll cage, but more importantly we get to hear the 333-horsepower engine and its throaty exhaust in action.
The 2014 Alpina B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio powers up luxury and speed
Tue, 04 Mar 2014The BMW specialists at Alpina know how to exploit a niche when they see one. With the BMW M4 still not technically official, it saw the need for a higher performance four-seat convertible than the 435i 'vert. Enter the new B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio that is debuting at the Geneva Motor Show.
The European-exclusive model takes BMW's 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-6 and massages it up to 410 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, which is less power but more twist than the M4 would give buyers. Alpina's tend to be built more as quick, luxurious grand tourers, and the B4 Bi-Turbo gets is no different with an adaptive sport suspension and an eight-speed automatic. Plus it wears the classic pinstripes and 21-spoke wheels that are the brand's design hallmarks.
While the added weight for the convertible means that the Cabrio takes 4.5 seconds to reach 62 miles per hour, about a half-second slower than the coupe, at the moment it is the only way to get this kind of performance in a BMW convertible. Orders for the convertible open in March in Europe and prices in Germany start at 74,800 euros ($102,878 at today's conversion rates).
BMW shows up-armored X5 concept and we can't get near it
Wed, 11 Sep 2013BMW has brought a slightly different concept vehicle to the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Rather than something that foreshadows a future product or a new design direction, the Munich-based manufacturer has brought an X5 that's designed to be shot at. It's called the Concept X5 Security Plus. The Concept X5 name is a bit misleading, though. It's based on the 2014 X5, while BMW already builds an armored CUV, called the X5 Security. The concept tag has to do with the "Security Plus" part.
Engineered to be compliant with VR6 security standards - the current X5 Security is for VR4 standards - the Concept X5 will quite happily shrug off direct attacks from an AK-47. Thanks to sealed joints, high-strength steel moldings, high-performance steel body panels and special, polycarbonate-coated security glass, Kalashnikov's finest, whether used as a firearm or as a melee weapon, would be useless against this X5.
Built alongside the standard X5 in BMW's Spartanburg, SC factory, the X5 is shipped to a BMW facility in Toluca, Mexico for installation of the armor and security features. The company claims this delivers a more thoroughly engineered protective solution than aftermarket retrofitting.
