2001 - Bmw M Roadster & Coupe on 2040-cars
Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States
If you are a serious enthusiast or collector looking for an immaculate example of the best M Roadster "S54", then you have found it! You probably know more about this car than I do and certainly more than I can put into this listing. If you are not familiar with the BMW "S54" M Roadster (produced only in 2001-2002) and are interested in learning more about the history and the vehicle, then I suggest using google to search the forums and/or articles available on the internet. Links are not allowed in ebay listings. I purchased this particular car in May of 2012 as a second car and investment with only 11k miles. I believe that I am the 2nd owner. The car is completely stock, and the only thing of significance that I did was change the tires and put 3k miles on the car since my ownership. As the previous owner, I always kept the car garaged. Mechanically, the car is 100% and there are no mechanical defects that I am aware of in ANY of the functions, including stereo, air conditioning, retractable top, etc. Cosmetically, the car is 99%+, no rim dings, but there may be some road rash and the typical front spoiler scrapes on the underneath. Inevitable when driving these lovely Los Angeles roads... Reason for selling: we need room for another car in the garage. Teenagers, sheesh! Please ask all pertinent questions prior to bidding. I am available to show the car with prior arrangements and reserve the right to sell the car prior to the end of the auction, although I am inclined to let the auction run its course. I can be reached at 310-545-7548. By placing a bid, the bidder agrees to make immediate contact via email, send a $500 deposit using paypal within 24 hours and the balance within 7 business days using certified funds. Shipping must be arranged by the buyer at their own expense. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Feb-02-14 at 11:51:30 PST, seller added the following information: Additional terms: Vehicle is sold as is. No warranty is given or implied.

BMW wants world drifting record back in US
Sat, 23 Mar 2013BMW just can't stand the thought of the world record for the longest drift winding up in the hands of someone else. The German automaker is set to take a crack at setting a new record by blowing the old one straight out of the water. A driver in China holds the current title after kicking a car sideways for a full 3.6 miles. Now, on May 11, BMW Performance Driving Instructor Johan Schwartz will attempt to pitch a BMW M5 sideways for some 40 miles as part of a stunt to raise funds for the BMW Pro-Am Charity.
We've had the distinct pleasure of riding with the instructors at the BMW facility in South Carolina, and we can tell you that if anyone can keep an M5 at full tilt for 40 miles, it's these guys. BMW has released a teaser video to drum up attention for the stunt. You can catch it below.
Giles Taylor succeeds Ian Cameron as head of Rolls-Royce design
Thu, 28 Jun 2012Back in the day, a Rolls-Royce looked pretty much the same as a Bentley, but with a different grille. Once BMW took over Rolls-Royce, however, it was faced with the challenge of visually separating itself from its former sister brand. And most would agree that it did so pretty well. But its cars have looked pretty much the same ever since. What Rolls-Royce needs, then, is a bit of a design shake-up. And that's just what this latest appointment could bring.
After a baker's dozen years as design director at Rolls-Royce (and twenty years designing for the BMW Group altogether), Ian Cameron is retiring from his post. In his place, Rolls-Royce has named Giles Taylor as its new director of design. In his new capacity, Taylor will report directly to BMW Group chief designer Adrian van Hooydonk, and be responsible for all design matters related to the Rolls-Royce brand and its products.
Taylor was promoted to the role from his previous position as head of exterior design for the marque, a position he's held for barely more than a year. We'll be eagerly watching to see what the veteran British car designer has in store for the future of Rolls-Royce. In the meantime you can read the full announcement below.
BMW mulled ten, eight, and six-cylinder engines for i8 before going hybrid
Wed, 09 Oct 2013There's little doubt that the 2015 BMW i8 is one of the most radical and groundbreaking performance cars this industry has seen in a long time. From its unique carbon-intensive construction to its 1.5-liter, three-cylinder and electric motor plug-in powertrain to its concept-car appearance, the flagbearer for BMW's new i venture challenges the very notion of what it takes to be a supercar.
Yet apparently the i8 almost didn't do that at all. Yes, it probably still would've had innovative assembly techniques, serious performance and come-hither bodywork, but according to a new report in the Telegraaf, it was very nearly a much more conventional beast, drawing its power from a V10 engine. According to the report, that line of development never got much beyond the drawing board, but BMW engineers then shifted their focus to both V8 and six-cylinder motivation, going so far as to build prototype cars. The higher cylinder-count engines were eventually dropped altogether after BMW decided to turn the i8 into a hybrid, with the six-cylinder reportedly nixed due to heat management and weight issues. In the end, of course, BMW went with the PHEV powertrain that offers a total system output of 362 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque - plenty of thrust for this lightweight, all-wheel drive coupe while still enabling an incredible 94 miles to the gallon on the EU cycle. Regardless of how it turned out, it's still fascinating to think that BMW didn't have a much firmer conceptual idea of what it was after when it started the i8's development.
Here at Autoblog, we're genuinely thrilled about this new generation of greener hybrid super- and hypercars, a movement spearheaded by the i8, Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. But even so, our inner-gearheads can't help but wonder what might have been had BMW pursued a more conventional i8, either in place of, or in addition to, the car they did build. What do you think?
