 Selling a beautiful and rare Montego Blue Metallic Exterior/Saddle Brown Dakota Leather Interior 335i Convertible with many options and extremely low miles.  It is my weekend car, so not driven often and garaged.  I have all the service records.  All work done at VOB BMW in Maryland and Erhard BMW in Michigan.  This car is a joy to own and very attractive with the M-Sport Bumper and sharp color.  I've added a clear bra professionally installed to avoid stone chips in the front. 

Please don't contact me to make a lower bid than the starting bid of 29,000.  I am not interested and am happy to keep it for another year if no one realizes the gem this car is.

Some of the surprising pleasures of this car are:
-Color combination will get many comments
-First year for the hardtop so appears much more new than it is
-Hardtop gives a tremendous sense of security and also keeps noise to normal car levels
-Sport seats are fantastically comfortable.  Sit in the Sport seat and non-Sport seat before buying any BMW
-M-Sport bumper makes it look much less dowdy that most 2007s.  Looks like an M3 from the front.
-The programmable 6 buttons are ingenious.  You can program one to a specific phone number on your iPhone and it will call the number with one touch of the button without you taking your phone out or docking it.  I've also got my home address navigation set as one of the buttons.  This might not seem obvious, but it's great to get a traffic-compensated estimated time that I'll be home.
-I updated the DVD for the navigation last year, so all the Starbucks are more or less current.
-The voice control is so-so. Works, but you have to speak quite clearly.
-The cruise control is quite thoughtfully done with a little dial that mimics the speedometer, and lots of adjustments.  It will also brake on the downhills to maintain the speed.  Very German.
-Real rear seat.
-I will never buy another car that doesn't have the pivoting Xenon lights that point around the corner.  Wonderful.
-The Comfort Access option means two great things:  you don't ever have to take your key out of your pocket to get into the car, turn it on, turn it off, lock the car.  also, you can open and close the top standing outside the car by holding down the lock or unlock key.  This last feature is shockingly useful.

I bought a set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 225/40R18 winter tires on nice aluminum OEM looking wheels that I bought from Tire Rack.  Those are included and are pictured.  The car has it's original tires on it, which the BMW dealer says are still fine (I don't drive this car as much as I'd like to).

Other than normal maintenance, I've had various squeaks and rattles obsessively gone over by the BMW dealer.  I've had the HPFP fuel pump replaced on a recall/warranty even though I never noticed anything wrong.  I've had the turbocharger replaced when I thought I heard a little rattle at start up.  I had the driver airbag replaced when I noticed a bit of discoloration on the BMW emblem on the steering wheel (which I guess comes as an assembly with the airbag).   I've had the front bumper replaced with the M-Sport bumper after scraping the original bumper on a tight underground parking garage wall while backing up.  Very frustrating to have my baby harmed, but a great excuse to get the better looking bumper.  There are two little dents that I've tried to capture in photos at the end.  It's hard to see in the photos, but when the light strikes it just right, you can make it out.  They are penny sized little indentations - Probably from poor parking lot behavior from other drivers.  There is a 4 inch scratch in the rear trunk that I took a photo of too.  The BMW dealer sealed it up with a matching paint about a year ago and I see no ill effects.  It pained me greatly at the time though.   Hopefully you can make it out in the picture I've attached to the listing.

I'm sure I haven't answer all your questions, so please let me know if there's anything you'd like to know.  It has all the options except for automatic transmission, Active Cruise and Active Steering.

Mini nixes plans for 7-seater, Countryman to stay largest model

Sat, 08 Mar 2014

Contrary to popular belief, it seems that Mini's growth plans do have a limit both in size and number of models. During the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it unveiled the six-door Clubman concept (pictured above) that was 4.4-inches longer and about two-inches wider than even the current Countryman crossover. Mini design chief Anders Warming says that this is the new size limit for its models, and the BMW subsidiary isn't building a larger, seven-passenger vehicle above the current Countryman.
"We won't build anything bigger than the Countryman, not at this moment. You should be able to park a Mini in a city, so a Countryman or this new Clubman is as big as it should be," said Warming to Auto Express in Geneva. Rumors going back to last November, pegged the Mini as developing an even larger vehicle to take on mainstream CUVs.
While Warming is ruling out a bigger Minis for now, a smaller one like the Rocketman concept still might be in the cards. He said that the project has been warmly received but still had to be investigated because "it's a numbers game." So if bigger Minis aren't coming, there still might be a slim chance for a smaller one.

BMW X3 spied with nip and tuck nearly complete

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

With the style-driven BMW X4 coming along in development, it looks like some of the forthcoming crossover's design could trickle over to its utilitarian sibling, the X3. Captured in these spy shots, it appears that the 2015 BMW X3 is preparing for a minor facelift, and from what we can tell, the biggest change will center on the CUV's headlights.
There is plenty of camouflage on the front and rear fascias to suggest updates will occur there, too, but we can definitely tell that the X3 will be getting LED-equipped headlights - at least as an option, anyway. The halos are slightly different from the current offering and there is also an LED strip above the headlights used as turn signal indicators. Another interesting thing we notice in these pictures is the nub at the bottom of the grille (also visible in recent X4 spy shots). While this could be some sort of test sensor for this prototype, it could also be a front-mounted camera for a possible parking assist system.
We don't expect any changes to the powertrain and we're not sure what updates could be in store for the interior, but we're guessing that that the 2015 X3 will debut shortly after the X4 goes on sale next year.

Hyundai, BMW in plant talks with Mexican officials

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

BMW and Hyundai may be joining the rush for the border that has already seen Nissan, Honda and Mazda begin factory construction in Mexico, while Ford and General Motors have both made significant investments in their Mexican facilities. BMW's interest in Mexico has been apparent for some time, and while we'd heard grumblings about Hyundai's move into Latin America some time ago, the last we heard about it was in 2009.
This new move, reported by Bloomberg, doesn't get specific on which models will be produced south of the Rio Grande, and as neither automakers' spokespeople responded to the business site's request for statements, all we really have to go on are the statements of Mexico's Economy Minister, Ildefonso Guajardo: "I cannot talk for them, but I think that starting 2014 we'll have new announcements. At least for one." Which manufacturer that will be remains anyone's guess, although judging by all the recent scuttlebutt that's been going around, the smart money seems to be on BMW. We'll stay with this one.
