98 BMW 323is / ONE OWNER - 192,000 miles

Leaving country, must sell. Spent its life in Texas and has been garaged 90% of the time. Maintained extremely well over the last 14 years. Have reinvested $4500 in last two years into the car. New shocks and struts have less than 1500 miles. The paint is in excellent condition. There have been some body work over the life of the car due to some minor accidents. It runs almost like it did when it was new. Great first car for a teen or backup (second) car.

Recent repairs;

1. New tires on front (less than 100 miles). Back tires are 80% (new 2 years ago).
2. New battery.
3. New headliner.
4. Complete new front brake kit from BAVAUTO (rotors, pads, lines) / 4000 miles ago.
5. New transmission filter.
6. New valve cover gasket.
7. New front lights (one is less than a year old. the other is about 3 years old) * I do not like foggy lights.
8. New cab filter.
9. Used synthetic blend oil for last 70,000 miles. Maintained regularly.
10. New overflow reservoir.
11. Complete front end maintenance at approx. 100k miles (new radiator, water pump, thermostat, belt & hoses).

14. NEW KTM shocks & struts (kit included all bushings, etc) / 1500 miles ago.

ISSUES:

1. Needs new oil pan gasket. Slight drip (2-3 drops per week).
2. Has two small dents in hood due to little kid jumping on it about a year ago. Other than that, the body is in perfect shape. Dents can probably be pulled out with paintless dent repair technique.

BMW details cheaper, sub-M performance cars for young 'brand ambassadors'

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

BMW's M cars are undoubtedly some of the best sport sedans in the world. Unfortunately, their prices put them out of the reach of a huge segment of buyers, many of them young. However, that might change in the near future as BMW launches its M Performance Automobiles performance sub-brand, positioned between its standard cars and the full M models.
Traditionally, M car buyers have been male and in their early-40s, according to Oliver Ganser, product strategy manager for BMW North America, speaking to Automotive News. However with MPA, BMW hopes to find even younger buyers "who will be brand ambassadors and appeal to the real enthusiasts that we have," he said. These new MPA models will see a mild boost in power and handling from off-the-shelf parts, instead of the unique engines and cutting-edge tech from their bigger M brothers.
The M Performance Automobiles line was launched last March at the Geneva Motor Show with high-performance diesel models of the 5 Series, X5 and X6. The first of the MPA models coming Stateside, the M235i, launches in March. We liked it when we drove it in January, but the $44,000 base price is still a bit steep. If it proves to be a success, we will see more of them, and if not, then it'll go down as another failed experiment, like the 318ti hatchback.

BMW won't build M4 Gran Coupe

Fri, 04 Jul 2014

Over the last few years, it feels like BMW has looked at its lineup and decided to offer a vehicle in every possible segment that it can find, no matter how small. The company is finally showing some restraint, though, at least when it comes to the high performance M division. For example, don't expect to see an M4 Gran Coupe at your local BMW dealer in the future.
M GmbH sales chief Jörg Bartels told Cars Guide in Australia, "It was definitely considered, but there is no plan to build an M4 Gran Coupe." The sport sedan just wouldn't make financial sense, he said. BMW already builds the M3 and M4 at separate factories, adding a third for such a niche model would be too much. Plus, the M3 already fills out the segment.
If you wanted an M model with a bit more storage space in the back, Bartels dashed those dreams, as well. He said that there isn't an M3 Gran Turismo hatchback in the pipeline, either.

BMW teases 2 Series Coupe ahead of October 25 debut

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Although it was finally just confirmed that the last of the BMW 1 Series coupes and convertibles went out of production months ago, we won't have to wait very long to see this model's replacement, the all-new 2 Series. BMW released a teaser video for its new coupe today and also announced that the 2 Series will officially debut on October 25.
We may still have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to see it up close and in person, even though both the Los Angeles Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show are nearly upon us. Either way, it's not clear when the 2 Series will roll into dealerships. Considering we've already seen the coupe sitting out mostly undisguised for a photo shoot, there really isn't much to see in terms of styling of the car in this sun-drenched, dirt-slinging teaser. BMW does say that this is the first trailer ahead of the 2 Series' unveiling, so there are likely to be more to follow the video seen below.
