2007 - Bmw 7-series on 2040-cars
Syracuse, New York, United States
Up for sale is my 2007 Alpina B7. I have owned the car for 2 years, and purchased it with 14k original miles. The vehicle now has 29k and is subject to minor change during the duration of the auction. The vehicle was a one owner car, traded-in and resold to me, although technically I consider myself to be the second owner. I have not a single issue with this car in two years of ownership. I changed the oil regularly, had the brakes flushed twice, cabin filters replaced, and installed new Continental tires 7k miles ago. I took this car on a 1600 mile round trip from NY to Chicago in August, and the car performed like a new car would. I rate the condition of this car to be excellent. There are a few small dings around the car that you would need to be a foot or less away to notice, two minor touch-up chips on the hood, and some curb rash on both passenger side wheel lips. Besides the minor details mentioned, the car is as new. For those unfamiliar with an Alpina B7: This car has the comfort, luxury, and reliability of a 7 Series BMW; paired with the exclusivity (800 produced for 07/08), beauty and power (500hp/516 ft. lb tq) of a 125k sedan. It is sleek, fast, beautiful, turns heads, and a total pleasure to drive, at a fraction of its original price. You can find one for less money, but I would recommend spending a little more money for peace of mind, and an awesome car. Why am I selling? I want a new one! I will probably purchase an AWD model and drive it year round. This model is RWD and I have never attempted a drive in the snow, although I heard with snow tires, it will perform well. This car gets parked from first snow fall- first rain in spring to wash away all salt encrusted roads. It is garage kept, and the undercarriage of this car is as clean as the photographs you see of the exterior and interior. *Photos were taken in the late spring, right before I replaced the original tires 7k miles ago. They were replaced due to age, not due to wear. Tires wear incredibly well on this car. It is amazing how perfectly balanced it is. These pictures are used because they show the car well, and the car looks exactly the same now as it did then. *One key is included with sale. I was given one key when I purchased the car, and never required an additional key. *

BMW restores classic Mini as it revives production in Netherlands
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Mini will be kicking off production in the Netherlands, a country that hasn't built a Mini-badged machine since 1966. In honor of this event, BMW Group Classic, the team responsible for all the cars in the BMW Museum, as well as being a spare parts and restoration company in its own right, revived a classic 1959 Austin Seven. That particular car, number 983, was one of the first Minis to be built in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands' JJ Molenaar's Car Companies built 4,000 Austin Sevens and Morris Mini-Minors between 1959 and 1966, although we imagine Dutch Mini production will be much bigger when it starts up again in summer 2014. A five-person team from VDL Nedcar, the group handling production of new Minis, took to the job of restoring the diminutive British car from nose to tail.
The 34-horsepower engine and the transmission were both completely rebuilt, while the door panels were redone by hand. Help from the Mini community aided the VDL Nedcar team in finding authentic replicas or original parts where possible. All told, the new classic Mini is a striking example of what a good restoration can do to a car. The Seven was repainted in its original Farina Gray, adding to the car's sense of authenticity.
BMW Concept 90 Motorcycle debuts at Villa d'Este
Fri, 24 May 2013The Concept 90 is one of two new vehicles BMW is showing off at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the tony shores of Lake Como in Italy. This year is the 90th anniversary of BMW Motorrad and the 40th anniversary of the R 90 S (inset) - the first production motorcycle to come with a front fairing - and BMW has worked with custom bike builder Roland Sands Design to craft a homage to the Daytona Orange boxer from the Seventies.
While following the line of its forbearer, obviously the Concept 90 has been sexed and sleeked up. The bodywork is of hand-worked aluminum, the giant halogen lamp of the 1975 model (which is when Daytona Orange was introduced) has gone LED, and the front engine cover, valve covers, exhaust and wheels have been made with a contrast-cut milling process.

European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
