This BMW has had a lot of work done to it. I start with the cosmetic stuff.
When I got the vehicle it was involved in a minor fender bender that bent the driver's side fender. It damaged the headlight, fender, and hood. I was able to "mend" the fender (still out of alignment since it was meant as more of a temporary fix) and headlight. That's was at least $300 of work by myself for parts alone. The interior has been COMPLETELY restored. Each seat has been reupholstered with new padding and leather. It is almost immaculate with the exception of the small hole in the drivers side seat. In interior alone the vehicle has had $1200 worth of work. The dashboard is not cracked which is almost impossible on the 80's vinyl dashboard. The Odometer gave out before I received the car, at 176,000. The previous owner clocked the engine at 184,000 miles. That was on the list of repairs, eventually. That's it for cosmetics. The engine has been a piece of work. I've replaced over a $1,500 in parts ever since I've got this car in January. When I got it it was not running with a blown Headgasket. I had to complete the Headgasket job which included: fan clutch assembly, ALL radiator pipes, water pump, new intake manifold, new Headgasket, new intake and exhaust gaskets, new air intake rubber hoses and boot, new oil return tube, new spark plugs, new timing belt, new accessory belt, new power steering belt, new thermostat, and new breather hose for the crankcase. All in all, it was over a grand in parts as everything was ordered OEM from Pelican Parts. I have a new Fuel Pressure Regulator coming in as well for installation. I have another easy $150 in spare parts which include all four brake rotors and the rear brake pads, another timing belt, power steering belt, accessory belt, lots is seals (crank, valve stem, and other various seals that I am not positive what they go to), and an older headlight assembly (not the ellipsoid, the OEM metal one), and some other various radiator pipes, all are being included with this purchase. All in all the amount of money that has been put into this thing is about $3,150, without taking it to a mechanic. It runs, and runs solidly. It just needs a new oil change and some tender love and care. This car would be a perfect project car. I do not have the time to continue to fix this vehicle as I move soon. |

2015 BMW X6
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Most everyone would agree that BMW offers a range of very attractive and well-proportioned coupes, sedans, crossovers and wagons. Yet there is one member of its family that has always struck us as a bit odd: the X6.
Proudly coined "The world's first Sports Activity Coupe" by its German maker, the X6 features a wedge-shaped body with a characteristic sloping roofline that appears to squash the heads of its second-row occupants. The crossover rides high off the ground, with a pronounced gap between its chassis and oversized wheel/tire package, capped by short overhangs on both ends. Although curious to the eyes, its overall styling is masculine, and its stance aggressive.
Whether you consider the X6 to be attractive or an eyesore - opinions seem about equally divided - there is nobody at BMW questioning its business model. As of today, the automaker has sold more than 260,000 copies of its five-door crossover, which is why it has flown us to Spartanburg, SC, to sample its second-generation 2015 BMW X6.
2015 BMW M4 Coupe
Mon, 12 May 2014Launched out of the seat by a huge, unexpected dip in the road, yet still held largely in place by the smooth webbing of my safety belt, I clench my teeth waiting to come back to earth. A tenth of a second later, the M4 Coupe touches down and my body is slammed into the leather seat cushion. All of the air is forced out of my lungs upon landing, but the BMW's chassis, suspension and steering appear unfazed. Pleasantly surprised, I mash the accelerator to the floor in giddy pursuit of the car in front of me - an absolutely identical 2015 BMW M4 coupe.
A cavorting game of cat-and-mouse on a desolate twisty canyon in southern Portugal is an excellent way to explore the real-world driving dynamics and performance of BMW's all-new M4 Coupe. But to truly push it to the limit - without having to worry about oversize depressions in the asphalt - requires a dedicated racetrack. Graciously, my hosts have rented the famed Autódromo Internacional do Algarve racetrack, or Portimão circuit, for an afternoon of automotive debauchery.
It's hard to believe this passes for work.
BMW considering North American engine plant?
Fri, 13 Dec 2013BMW may be set to expand its US operations with a new engine plant, Bloomberg reports. The Bavarian automaker already has its Spartanburg, SC factory which builds the company's X3, X5 and X6 crossovers. According to the story, Mexico is also under consideration for the BMW engine factory, with the report claiming a final decision will be made in 2014.
"Establishing local motor manufacturing abroad is more complex than assembling cars, but it's a logical step for them to eventually start making engines in markets where they're expanding vehicle production," Juergen Pieper, an analyst for Bankhaus Metzler tells Bloomberg. Building engines in the US or Mexico would save BMW from having to ship engines for some of its most popular models across the Atlantic.
BMW, for its part, hasn't said anything concrete. Spokesman Mathias Schmidt is quoted in the story saying, "As part of our long-term growth strategy, we're frequently looking at different countries for possible locations of future production facilities. No decisions have been made yet, though, for an additional plant."
