2008 Bmw M5 Dinan Stroker E60 on 2040-cars
|
After much soul searching, the time has come for my Stroker to find a
new home. This car has a long history on M5Board.com, so I will try to keep
the details short:
This car is the "Cody Stroker" from Austin, Texas. After Cody, the famous "Street King" a.k.a. SW owned this car and he sold it to me with 38K miles on it last year. So, if you live in CA, this is a fantastic looking and sounding smog legal car. If you don't, then you can de-cat it again :-) I've put 10K miles on it, and the only work it needed was to replace the brake controller due to an ABS fault light. So before we get to the pictures, here are some details: 2008 E60 M5 Dinan S3 49K miles Asking $49,990 Black on black Full leather, alcantra headliner KW coilovers Heads up display Active seats Electric rear sunshade Soft close doors Factory ipod integration Back up camera integration Integrated Passport 9500 with front and rear laser shifter RPI exhaust and scoops Carbon fiber rear spoiler Car used to have a clear bra on it which I removed recently so the paint work is virtually perfect. This is very rare, particularly on a black car. There are no dings or blemishes, except for one wheel that has very slight road rash and some small scrapes on the front air dam. On Feb-19-14 at 11:55:02 PST, seller added the following information: There is a typo in the category and I can't fix it....
The engine is 5.8L Dinan Stroker.
This car makes about 630 HP. It is de-restricted, so top speed is about 200 MPH. Yes, this car can hit 200 MPH on a closed course. The 0-60 MPH time is around 4 seconds.

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."
BMW i3 to be priced around $40,000
Mon, 06 May 2013According to Automotive News, the BMW i3 electric hatchback will likely be priced around $40,000, or similar to that of a well-equipped 3 Series sedan, when it goes on sale later this year. This information was revealed during an interview where AN spoke to Ludwig Willisch, CEO of BMW North America. The i3 will likely qualify for a $7,500 tax credit from the US federal government, though AN reports that a BMW spokesperson could not confirm this just yet.
In addition to the all-electric i3, BMW will offer a range-extended version that uses a 0.65-liter two-cylinder motorcycle engine and auxiliary generator to charge the car's battery on the go. Automotive News says pricing for this model is still unclear, as is whether or not the range-extended i3 will be eligible for the $7,500 tax credit. Of course, buyers needing a vehicle for longer trips will be able to borrow one from the automaker.
Automotive News also reports that the majority of BMW's 338 dealers in the United States will be able to sell the i3, as well as the upcoming i8 hybrid sports car. Dealerships have until June of this year to opt out of this program, however.
BMW 1 Series getting a small nose job
Tue, 06 Aug 2013As BMW prepares to launch its new 2 Series lineup, it appears that the current 1 Series is going to get a little attention for itself. Based on these spy photos, the 1 Series hatchback (F20/F21), which is not offered in the US, will be getting a minor facelift in the near future.
From what we can see in these images, the updated 1 Series will definitely be getting a tweaked front end, with most of the attention focusing on the air intakes and grille. Our shooter tells us that it is possible that the headlights may yet be reworked in some way by the time we see this car in production form. It still isn't clear if we'll ever see this bodystyle or the next-gen 1 Series in the US, but our most recent report seems to indicate that the car's fortunes will depend somewhat on how well the Mercedes CLA-Class and Audi A3 sell.
