I have been an eBay seller since 1998. During this time I am proud to have earned 468 positive comments with never a single neutral or negative comment-ever. This is because I have always striven to represent my offerings accurately and fairly to the best of my ability, whether I'm describing a fine watch, a beautiful diamond ring, or a motor vehicle. Indeed I have sold three vehicles on eBay Motors in the past, and the buyers have been universally pleased with their purchases.
This 2008 BMW 128i Convertible is my son's car. He has taken wonderful care of his car from the moment he took delivery, having all required maintenance performed by a BMW dealer when due.
The car requires absolutely nothing other than a lucky new owner. The front tires are brand new, the rears are not new but in good used condition. The body has an insignificant ding on the rear bumper and tiny paint chips on the front bumper.
Every mechanical feature of the vehicle is performing flawlessly, including engine, transmission (6-speed manual), convertible top (which raises and lowers electronically in seconds), all gauges and electronics, including the factory premium sound system.
I have included a scan of the original window sticker, which shows the options packages and individual options included with this car. These include:
Premium Package
Sport Package
Cold Weather Package
Metallic Paint
Xenon Headlights
iPod Adapter
Satellite Radio
Premium Hi-Fi
Moonlight Black Soft-Top
Aside from the above factory options, an OEM wind deflector (which costs several hundred dollars) is included, as are Pirelli Sottozero Winter Performance 210 run-flat tires (in good used condition).
Indeed, one would be hard-pressed to think of anything of importance NOT included.
During my many years of eBay selling I have found that, due to the vast size of the eBay buying public, a fair price will almost always be achieved. Therefore, this auction will begin with an opening bid equal to what my son was offered in trade towards his upcoming vehicle. Once that amount is surpassed, which it easily will be, the high bidder will get the car-period.

Xcar checks if BMW's i8 offers moves as electrifying as its looks
Sat, 02 Aug 2014If you were to plot the general opinion about hybrids since their introduction among auto enthusiasts, the resulting graph would likely be shaped somewhat like a "V." In the beginning interest was high, simply due the novelty of these new powertrains, then the line would gradually fall as the models got the stereotype of being boring commuters. Today, though, things might be back on the upswing. Vehicles like the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 and BMW i8 are showing that a hybrid doesn't have to be synonymous for dull. In its latest video, Xcar Films aims to find out if BMW's electrified sports coupe actually earns the brand's old moniker as the ultimate driving machine.
While the focus here is on what the i8 is like behind the wheel, one of the main highlights for the viewer is the interesting ways that Xcar shoots the BMW. It's not necessarily a beautiful vehicle, but seeing it in motion reveals all sorts of little intricacies that still photos don't pick up. For example, our eye catches the flying buttresses and little crevices scooped out of the corners when we get a look at the rear. It's just a fun car to look at.
With its 1.5-liter, turbocharged, three-cylinder engine and electric motor, the i8 positions itself as the future of automotive performance. But its intriguing looks and cutting-edge use of carbon fiber would be wasted if the coupe didn't drive well. We won't spoil the final verdict, though, you'll have to watch the video above.
BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead
Fri, 02 Aug 2013
Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.
Next-gen Mini could sire 10 different models including PHEV
Sat, 12 Oct 2013The first generation of the reimagined, BMW-backed Mini was a simple things, confined to two body styles - hatchback and four-seat convertible. It wasn't until the second-generation platform came along that Mini began truly expanding, offering a long-wheelbase model, a roadster, a coupe, a five-door crossover, and a three-door, um, thing?
BMW is aiming for 10 to 12 different vehicles from just two brands off one platform.
According to an interview between Automotive News Europe and the BMW board member that oversees Mini, Peter Schwarzenbauer, the funky British brand will be expanding far beyond the seven body styles it currently offers. "With the new ULK architecture, we currently have in mind eight to 10 models," Schwarzenbauer told ANE. That architecture he mentions, will also underpin the BMW 1 Series GT and the BMW X1, meaning that BMW is aiming for 10 to 12 different vehicles from just two brands off one platform (and that's only what we know about).
