1999 Bmw M Roadster No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Cornelia, Georgia, United States

This is my 1999 BMW M Roadster. I LOVE this car, I am selling only because I bought an M3 and really don't need both. If you are looking you already know the M Roadster rarity. They only made 8900
total. Check out the wiki artricle! I looked for over a year to find this one, an Imola Red on Black with the factory hard top. It has been well maintained. In the past year, new window regulators, new tires, new brakes, new Bilstein struts, and the wheels were refinished, and complete service. There is NO curb rash. There are no mods aside from the Bilsteins. She runs and drives perfectly, I would drive it anywhere. AC is ice cold. No shuddering or pulling when braking, no strange vibrations. Over all it's a 9/10. The sets are in great shape for age, the soft top is in avg shape. The rear window is new, but I have not installed it, it is in the box. It zips in, so takes under an hour from what I have read. The old window is fogged as consistent with age. There is a mark here or there consistent with age. I had the car detailed 2 months ago, including clay bar and hand wax. She is pretty darn clean. The front bumper has marks consistent with age, the interior is a solid 9/10. The top can sometimes take a few pushes of the button to engage, but it has never let me down. It isn't weak, just sometimes takes a few pushes of the button to get the hint. The radio powers on with no dead pixels, but no sound, so would need a replacement or an aftermarket. If you are going to do it right, the factory speakers arent great in these cars so a new stereo and speakers is highly recommended and a very worthwhile upgrade. I enjoy the engine sound myself. ;) The windows operate like new, thanks to the new regulators. No weird dash lights. This car has been driven carefully and well maintained. Not abused, or raced, and has been garaged. The factory hard-top ($1800 on ebay) is included with the sale. Also included is the factory wind-screen ($290) and the original owners manual, as well as the original BMW tire repair kit. Also a full car cover is included. I never get out of the car without a huge grin on my face. It is just a joy to drive. This is one that needs nothing but to hop in and enjoy. NO reserve! If you are local feel free to come by and have a look. It is going to make the next owner very happy. Clear title in hand, never wrecked. Thanks for looking! |

Husqvarna sold to KTM CEO Stefan Pierer
Fri, 01 Feb 2013A couple of days ago the UK's Motorcycle News reported that BMW was in the final stages of selling Husqvarna to KTM, with a deal potentially confirmed as soon as this week. Following that came reports that Husqvarna Motorcycles wasn't sold to KTM but to a Pierer Industries, the company owned by KTM CEO Stefan Pierer. Turns out the advance report was true, as was the follow-up: BMW has just announced a "strategic realignment" of its Motorrad division, explaining that it sold Husqvarna to Pierer Industries in order to focus on the urban and e-mobility segments. Husqvarna's off-road machines, obviously, don't fit into those categories.
BMW bought the Italian-based bike maker with centuries-old Swedish roots in 2007 - the rest of the Husqvarna company remains based in Sweden - and has invested huge sums to integrate the smaller company into the larger parent. Six years later, just when dividends should begin to truly pay off, the brand is sold.
Before BMW made its announcement, one of the theories that forum members put forward for Pierer's interest in purchasing Husqvarna was that he wants his own business to run his own way. The parent company of KTM, Cross Industries, is 47.27-percent owned by India's Bajaj Automotive, with Pierer the majority shareholder, and is on a quest for global growth, taking the fight to BMW in Europe and launching new bikes and technology into the Indian market. Compared to BMW's and KTM's 2012 sales of around 100,000 bikes each in 2012, Husqvarna sold 10,751 bikes, which was a 15.7-percent increase over the previous year. Pierer would have a lot more freedom in the running of a company of that size.
Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
BMW 4 Series Convertible basks in the sun
Wed, 07 Aug 2013The BMW 4 Series Convertible will show its non-camouflaged face sometime later this year, but our spies recently caught this nearly naked prototype out getting some sun. As you'll recall, the droptop 4 Series replaces the 3 Series Convertible in the BMW range, and if our recent stint behind the wheel of the new 435i Coupe is anything to go on, this topless 4er should be quite a fun runabout for sun-drenched motoring.
To no one's surprise, the 4 Series Convertible shares all of its design with the 4 Series coupe, save, of course, the obvious roofectomy. Beyond that, the topless 2+2 will use the same engines and transmissions as the coupe, meaning it should arrive in the US in both 428i and 435i guises, powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four and 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, respectively. Both six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions will be available.
The car spied this time around has the full M Sport visual treatment, with the revised (and better-looking) front fascia, larger 19-inch wheels, and attractive Melbourne Red paint. Interestingly, it appears this prototype has the standard xenon headlamp setup, rather than the full-LED option that's also available.
