1991 Bmw 325ic Red Convertible - 16,300 Original One-owner Miles on 2040-cars
Lenexa, Kansas, United States
|
Where do I begin? My parents bought this car new from the BMW dealership in Chicago, IL in 1991. My father has since passed and the car belongs to my 93 year old mother. We live in Kansas City. The reason they bought it in Chicago was that was the only dealership in the entire USA that had a red/black 325i with all factory options offered. So, coordinated by the dealership in Kansas City, they flew to Chicago and drove the car back to KC. The car is 100% original, including the original tires! The car has never been damaged, never painted on, has never been driven in the snow, and only by accident was the car ever in the rain...twice! My best guess is the top has been down no more than 10 times. Only my wife and I have ridden in the backseat, and that was twice! The car has been stored in my mother's garage with a car cover and battery tender attached. I live very close to her, so I have tried to go over and start it and drive around the neighborhood over the years. Each winter I have added gas stabilizer so the gas wouldn't go bad. It starts right up, and seems to drive fine. However, I think any buyer would want to change the original plugs and do a tune-up, filters and overall checkup. The brake lining light comes on sometimes, but the car brakes fine...I cant imagine the brakes being bad with only a little over 16k miles...but the car has been driven very little in the last 10 years and in my opinion it should be gone through before any extensive driving. I cant express enough how nice this car is. I am confident to say I cannot imagine there is another original, untouched one like it in the country! This car deserves to be owned by someone that will continue to treat it as we have, just drive it a little more! We do not want to sell it to someone looking for a daily driver! It would be a shame to treat this wonderful little car any differently that it has come to know and expect from my mom and dad over the years! The paint has a few swirl scratches in the clear coat from the car cover, but it still has a new car sheen to it. If you would buff the paint with a polishing wheel, I think it would look like a brand new car, that's how nice it is. I purposely have not cleaned or detailed the engine compartment or interior. I want a prospective buyer to see it untouched! Like the paint, with a little attention the leather and dash will look like new! If you want the best...YOU JUST FOUND IT! |

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.
2015 BMW M4 gets initiated into the club
Fri, 22 Aug 2014It's easy for enthusiasts and traditionalists to give BMW a hard time these days, what with its plans to add more front-wheel drive models and seeming move away from more emotionally connected cars. However, the push for perfection that underscored its old Ultimate Driving Machine motto is still in there, especially in its M models. In fact, the first M4 recently made it to US shores, and the company thought the only appropriate way to celebrate was to introduce its new coupe to some of its high-performance forefathers.
The M4's initiation into the M car brotherhood involved bringing together no fewer than 52 classic and newer models - including four racecars and many privately owned vehicles - to an empty parking lot and letting the coupe drift and slalom around them to say hello. According to BMW, there was a combined 11,566 horsepower on hand. It takes a pretty trusting owner to stand back and watch as a brand-new vehicle slides its tail out with the rear wheels smoking within feet of their pride and joy. Stay tuned until the end where the owners and their cars get a shout out in the credits. Scroll down to read BMW's press release about it.
BMW 3 Series wagon configurator up, priced from $41,450
Mon, 25 Mar 2013If you're still smarting from the shock of the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo, we have good news for you. BMW has just fired up the configurator for the 2014 3 Series wagon. Prices start at $41,450, excluding an $895 destination and handling fee. The price tag will buy you a 328i xDrive Sports Wagon with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine boasting 241 horsepower paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment. The automaker's xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive is also standard, as is a fuel-saving auto start/stop function and 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-season run flat rubber.
Buyers can step up to Sport Line trim for $2,600, and doing so graces the 3 Wagon with 18-inch wheels, high-gloss black accents outdoors as well as a sport leather steering wheel, high-gloss or aluminum interior trim and a black signature key fob. Luxury Line trim will set you back $2,300 abd features chrome trim accents outdoors and wood trim inside along with other goodies. Buyers can also opt for Modern Line trim at $2,300, complete with a turbine-design 18-inch alloy wheel, matte chrome trim bits outdoors and a range of interior trim options.
Our favorite of the bunch? That would be M Sport trim. While the tweaks are largely aesthetic, we dig the notion of 8-way power adjustable sport seats indoors and exclusive M Estoril Blue paint outside. Expect to pay $3,950 for the pleasure. Head over to the BMW site to build your own.
