1997 Bmw 318i Base Convertible 2-door 1.9l on 2040-cars
Avon Park, Florida, United States
|
This is a very nice vehicle for the year. It has some minor dents but nothing that a paint job cannot correct. The seats are in a very good condition. Everything works OK but for the radio which has a mind of its own. It might work one day and not the other day. I have not looked into this as this is my second car here in Florida and I barely use it. But someone told me that it could be a very minor 'fuse' problem. There is a converter in the trunk which again works when the radio works. All the other controls, clock, weather, heat, AC etc. work perfectly. The manual roof is very easy to put up and down and can be used as is but the material will have to be changed eventually although the mechanics are OK. There is small tear on the side of that roof and one on the plastic back window. The tires are practically new as well as the brakes. Those were bought and/or changed before I left Ohio to come to Florida (2 years ago) and like I said before, that car has been sitting in my driveway here in Florida most of the time. We did not drive the car to Florida as it was hauled by another vehicle. I have a cover so the car can be protected when not in use. So while it is in a very good condition for a 1997 and its mileage, it is not in a perfect condition. As mentioned before, it has normal wear and tear and other imperfections but at the end, it is a very good car. Because of a bad experience, I will not accept low feedback bidders. Thanks for looking and please do not hesitate to ask any questions.

BMW calling in 76k vehicles over airbag issues
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Vehicles these days are typically fitted with a mat in the front passenger seat that determines whether that airbag needs to be activated in the event of a collision and how it should deploy. But that system doesn't always work, as Mercedes recently found in its SL-Class roadster and as Suzuki did before it with the Grand Vitara and SX4 crossovers. Now a crop of BMW vehicles have befallen the same issue, prompting the Bavarian automaker to cooperate with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for the vehicles in question.
The problem affects precisely 76,565 vehicles, including certain the 3 Series (sedan and wagon), 5 Series, 7 Series and X5 crossover families spanning the 2006 and 2007 model years and fitted with a certain type of seat. However, since the parts to repair the problematic components are not currently available, as you can see from the recall notice below, it won't be until March 2014 when local dealers will be able to resolve the issue.
Watch this BMW take flight at Viru Rally
Mon, 20 Oct 2014An E36 BMW 3 Series might be a good choice for a lot of purposes - a long road trip, a track day, rallycross, impressing your friends... but a full-on rally? It's rear-drive when the best rally machines are front- or all-wheel drive. But that didn't stop Pritt Koik and Alari-Uku Heldna from entering their stripped-out E36 in the Viru Rally in Estonia... or from getting some big air time when they did.
Fortunately the jump was not just caught on video... it was caught on video from three angles: two from the side of the rally stage and one from inside the cockpit. Check out all three below to see how this particular BMW got back into the aircraft business.
2014 BMW X5 priced from $53,725*
Mon, 24 Jun 2013A month after the official curtain was dropped, BMW has seen fit to release pricing information on its new 2014 X5 crossover. The X5 sDrive35i, which is the first rear-wheel-drive version of the X5, will begin at $53,725 (*including $925 for destination and handling) while the traditional all-wheel-drive X5 xDrive35i will begin at $56,025. Both feature BMW's well-regarded 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo N55 engine with 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque.
The 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35d (Have these convoluted names confused you yet?) is priced at $57,525 with its 3.0-liter diesel engine (255 hp and 413 lb-ft), and, finally, the TwinPower Turbo V8-powered X5 xDrive50i (445 hp and 480 lb-ft) will start at $69,125. Buyers looking to customize their X5 experience can choose from the Luxury Line, xLine or M Sport packages, plus Ivory White and Mocha Interior Design Packages. Regardless of which engine is chosen, the X5 will come equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
For comparison, the 2013 X5 xDrive35i started at $48,425. That means the price has increased by over $5,000 despite not including standard all-wheel drive or by $7,600 when comparing apples to apples with similar six-cylinder engines and power to all four wheels. The V8 model increased by $4,000 and the diesel, interestingly enough, dropped by $100.
