The 1994 BMW Convertible is in good, but not mint condition.  I have a 100% positive feedback rating and want to keep it that way, so I'll be as complete in my disclosure of the vehicle as possible.  The reason the car is up for sale is the manual transmission.  It was purchased as a birthday gift for my daughter and she's not comfortable with a stick shift and has no desire to learn - so I would certainly consider the possibility of a trade for a car with an automatic transmission.


Since purchasing the vehicle last December I have had the following work performed by a highly respectable foreign car specialist in Novi, Michigan:
  • Cooling system flush and refill with BMW coolant
  • Brake system inspection, fluid flush and refill with BMW fluid
  • Clutch system fluid flush and refill with BMW fluid
  • Oil and filter change with synthetic (all season) oil
  • Replaced battery (OEM spec located in trunk @ $175.00 with warranty)
  • Replaced front tires with Continental (all season) 225/50ZR16 radials (rears are like-new Goodyear Eagles - very little wear)
    • Rims appear to be off a BMW M3
  • Replaced front hood pneumatic shocks
  • Replaced blower motor resistor (fan would only run on high - works perfectly now - including ice cold A/C)
  • Removed convertible top fabric and replaced the rear window and stitched any marginal areas (absolutely leak free now)
Here are the known defects (I've only driven the car 4-5 times since purchase):
  • Convertible top will not retract or raise automatically (slow as molasses) - must be operated manually
    • I have an estimate from a top specialist to completely rebuild the mechanism @ $1,500
  • Driver's power seat back recline is inoperative (other adjustments operate normally)
  • Driver's door panel (see photos) has a speaker grill that's loose
    • I would recommend having a shop replace the door speakers and repair the panel
There is a Kenwood CD player/Sattelite radio in the dashboard that has a removable faceplate (works fine)
There is a K&N air filter upgrade

Vehicle drives, stops, handles great.  Very enjoyable and sporty to drive.

30th Anniversary BMW M5 information leaks out

Mon, 05 May 2014

BMW hasn't kept its 30th Anniversary M5 a very big secret. It even hinted that "a surprise" was coming while celebrating its Autobahn-storming sedan's 30th birthday. However, what exactly was on the way has been a mystery... until now. The folks over at Bimmerpost have found some leaked details about the new model, and it's definitely more than just some badges special paint.
The biggest upgrade for the M5 is that power allegedly increases to 592 horsepower (600PS) and 516 pound-feet of torque (700 Newton-meters). That is a 32-hp and 14-lb-ft increase over the standard M5 and 17 ponies more than models with the Competition Package. The forum claims that all of the cars come with a dual-clutch gearbox, even in the US.
Styling also sees an upgrade with BMW Individual Frozen Dark Silver Metallic exterior paint, special 20-inch wheels, dark chrome trim and 30th Anniversary badges. The interior mixes Merino leather and Alcantara upholstery with dark aluminum trim and more celebratory badges.

BMW to announce location of new plant in Mexico in July

Tue, 20 May 2014

Volkswagen manufactures in Mexico. Soon Audi will as well, and Mercedes-Benz is said to be working on a deal to assemble some of its cars at a Nissan plant in Mexico too. That leaves BMW out of the mix of German automakers building cars South of the Border, but that may soon be rectified, as well.
According to Automotive News, the Bavarian automaker is preparing to announce the site of its first Mexican assembly plant as soon as July, now just two months away. BMW already builds cars for North American consumption at its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, but has reportedly been keen to capitalize on cheaper labor and the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement to supply vehicles to the United States and Canada especially.
When BMW does announce the site of the plant - reportedly narrowed down to either Hidalgo or San Luis Potosi - it is tipped to work its way up to 100,000 vehicles per year at the new location, potentially to include the 3 Series as well as smaller, front-drive models, including Minis.

Getting Our Butts In The Seats
Both the non-M BMW 3 Series sedan and 4 Series coupe have so far brought much pleasure to us at Autoblog. The terrific four-cylinder 328i trim has become our favorite of the 3 Series line, while we have yet to get a chance at the 428i coupe. That said, the 35i trim powered by a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine is not exactly to be sniffed at.
We all know the ones you're really waiting for, though. The F80 fifth-generation M3 sedan and the supremely sexy F82 M4 coupe. Rumors have been buzzing for a couple of years now that the engine would be another V8, only turbocharged this time, or else a tri-turbo six. Well, today BMW confirmed that the mill under the hood's power bulge is a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo of the biturbo variety, referred to internally as "S55B30 variant."
