Up for sale is my 1989 Bmw 325i E30.  I purchased the car with the intention of restoring it and no longer have the time or money to do so.  Engine is very strong, runs and drives great.  I've been commuting back and forth to work in it around 40 miles per day.  It gets around 27 mpg.  It's a 5 speed manual, black, with grey cloth interior.  Drivers side seat is ripped, rear seat is missing some cloth at the top, one crack in the dash, and the rear passenger window does not roll down.  Everything else works fine including the air conditioning.  The paint looks really good and shines up very nice.  There is some minor surface rust as shown in the pictures on the drivers side.  One small hole about the size of a pencil eraser in the driver rocker panel.  The passenger side is rust free.  The speedometer and odometer do not work.  The mileage shows 192xxx but has a little more.  The tires are Falken Ziex912's in fantastic condition with at least 80% tread left.  The clutch engages and shifts as it should.  The rear ujoint needs to be replaced, there is some clicking when you slow down, only heard from around 5mph to 0.  It does not affect the driveability of the vehicle as I use it daily.  It has new brake pads, and I will include some additional parts with the sale that total about $200.  Parts included were purchased as preventative maintenance and do not need to be installed immediately.  I will include a timing belt and tensioner and a very nice silicone vacuum line set that includes every single vacuum line for the entire car, pre-cut and ready to install with instructions.  These E30s are becoming more rare every day and a nice, rust free example will set you back $7500+.  Its a really fun car to drive and I had big plans for it but just don't have the funds to restore it currently.  This is a no reserve auction.  The car is located in central Kentucky.  Please do not bid if you don't intend on following through with the transaction.  I do reserve the right to end the auction early should it sell locally.  Thank you for looking and please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

2015 BMW i8 [w/video]

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

The most important thing to keep in mind while driving BMW's all-new i8 is that it's not a product of the company's vaunted M division.
Sleek sports-coupe design, carbon-fiber construction and blistering acceleration may cause automotive enthusiasts to drool, but the i8 has not been conceptualized, engineered or assembled to be another one of BMW's world-class track stars. Instead, the i8 has been hatched as a progressive sports car from the Bavarian outfit's new i division, which "represents visionary electric vehicles and mobility services, inspiring design and a new understanding of premium that is strongly defined by sustainability." Think of it as thrilling, but with an engaging environmental twist.
It's nearly impossible to walk up to the i8 with stopping twenty feet short and taking in its styling. There's no other production car as visually fascinating - this BMW is showroom-ready sculpture that captures all of the essence of the Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept that wowed crowds at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The wind sees it as a 0.26 drag coefficient, but humans will study its beautifully crafted carbon fiber and glass panels and realize they're in the presence of the future.

Consumer Reports' first motorcycle reliability report finds Japanese brands ahead

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has released its first ever study of motorcycle reliability, and students of its ratings on cars might notice a suspicious similarity - Japanese brands require fewer repairs than the leading American or German brands.
The study analyzed the reliability of 4,680 bikes owned by CR subscribers and found that Yamaha had the best ratings, with just one in ten bikes built between 2009 and 2012 requiring a repair over a four-year period. The makers of the R1 and R6 sport bikes were closely followed by Kawasaki and Honda, while one out of every four of the rumbling bikes from Harley-Davidson experienced an issue. BMW had the worst rating of the brands represented, with one in three bikes having problems.
According to CR, neither Suzuki nor Triumph owners provided enough information for a reliable rating. Based on the responses received, though, Suzuki would have finished with the other Japanese brands and Triumph, being English, would have been one of the less reliable makes.

2015 BMW X6

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Most 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.
