Spent the first 30k miles of its life in Miami, FL and has been garaged during the worst of Cincinnati weather for the last 50k miles. Drives laser straight, runs flawlessly and handles spectacularly. 255/50/19 Continental CrossContact front tires 285/45/19 Kumho Solus rear tires 4/32" tread depth on all 4 tires Rear Tires under warranty until 11/9/14 or 128,706 miles which I believe is transferrable, I will have a definitive answer for this soon. The tires did all match until a rear tire ate a rather large nail on the highway last year. The reason we are getting rid of the car is we need a larger SUV that is more apt to serve the dual purpose of a work truck and a SUV instead of a SAV. Currently, the car is in need of a couple minor things. It needs a passenger side window regulator (about a $200 DIY fix). The window currently will roll up and down about half way but below that and it will get stuck. I can take a picture of the inside of the door upon request. Also, the sunroof is currently broken. The clips within the guide rails have broken off (a $100-200 DIY fix). Again, I can have pictures of exactly what is needed upon request. Lastly, the drivers inside door handle doesn't work to unlock the door by pulling twice, but works fine when the car is unlocked and you pull once (just needs some adjustment). These are the only things wrong with the car. The 12k has been spent toward the most important maintenance items and I am currently sorting out these other issues. I'll update as I work through the list. |

BMW is the US auto industry's leading exporter
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Which automaker do you think ships the most cars out of North America, one of the Detroit Three or perhaps one of the Japanese automakers? Nope. It turns out the BMW's Spartanburg, SC, factory is the biggest automotive exporter from the continent in the United States. According to a recent profile by Bloomberg looking at the plant's 20th anniversary, Bimmer's southern ops sends out more vehicles than all of Michigan combined.
When the Spartanburg factory opened up in 1994, its success was hardly assured, largely because of South Carolina's relatively small economy at the time. However, BMW picked the site because of its proximity to East Coast shipping that made it easier to move engines and transmission in from Germany and export vehicles back to Europe, according to Bloomberg. The Bavarians clearly made the right choice.
Today, the plant has developed into an absolute powerhouse. The factory currently assembles the X3, X4, X5 and X6 and exports about 70 percent of the vehicles built there. Things are only getting better. BMW is investing $1 billion through 2016 to boost annual production from the current 300,000 units up to 450,000 and to build a new flagship crossover called X7. The expansion also adds a further 800 jobs there to take total employment up to about 8,800. Including the latest financing, BMW has put over $7.3 billion into the factory since it opened, notes Bloomberg.
2015 BMW M3 Sedan
Tue, 20 May 2014BMW's all-new M3 Sedan is dynamically nearly identical to its two-door M4 Coupe sibling: a stopwatch reveals that both are sub-four-second cars to 60 miles per hour, a racetrack proves that the mechanical twins are equally as adept on a road course and a full afternoon of driving on public roads demonstrates that each possesses talented everyday adaptability.
Yet after driving both BMW models back-to-back over two full days in Portugal, it's clear there are a few noticeable differences, both objective and subjective, that don't require instrument testing to reveal. All it takes is a few hours behind the wheel of both cars to conclude that one is slightly more agile, and the other a bit more twitchy. One has better outward visibility, while its counterpart is unquestionably more convenient.
It is the little things - subtleties attained through seat-of-the-pants observations - that eventually allow me to choose a favorite.
BMW confirms new Mexican plant
Thu, 03 Jul 2014After over a year of speculation, BMW is finally officially announcing that it's building a factory in Mexico. The new plant will cost the German automaker roughly $1 billion US and will have a capacity of about 150,000 vehicles a year when complete. However, production won't begin there until 2019.
The new factory is being built near the city of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, with plans to employ about 1,500 people. Unfortunately, BMW is still mum about which models it's producing south of the border. Earlier rumors indicated the possibility of the 3 Series, 1 Series and maybe even Mini models there.
BMW says Mexico's multiple free trade agreements are a major factor in the choice of location of the plant. They make it possible for the automaker to ship models more cheaply to North America, parts of South America and the European Union. "The Americas are among the most important growth markets for the BMW Group. We are continuing our strategy of 'production follows the market,'" said Harald Krueger, the board's head of production, in the company's official announcement.
