1995 Hellrot Red Bmw 540i Rust Free Mechanically Sound V8 Unmolested E34 on 2040-cars
Elizabeth, New Jersey, United States
I have owned many E34's over the years. I would like to start off by saying that apart from the cosmetic stuff that I will list, this is one of the best E34's that I have driven. The 282 Horsepower Engine is powerful and responsive. The transmission shifts on a dime. Recent invoices include oil pan replacement and heater core @ 119k miles Hankook Tires are @ 90% thread life There is NO RUST on the car. many of these Northern E34's are rust buckets, this one had no frame or door rot! Air Condition is ICE COLD Gauge cluster pic was taken with the vehicle running. Fly in to NJ and drive the car anywhere, I would! Now for the cons: As you can see in the pictures, the clear coat is peeling on the driver side front fender. Passenger side fender is pushed in as you can see from the picture. It can be pulled out at a body shop. The glove box has the typical e34 issues and is stuck closed. The driver side window is stuck in the up position however the motor is good and you can hear it working. Passenger side window works fine. Sunroof works fine. Books and manuals included in the sale. OEM radio works 100% Factory alarm and central locking system works as it should with the key. I also have an uncut factory key that I can include in the sale. The Beemer has its share of bruises but is in awesome mechanical shape, not to mention the rare Hellrot red color that you just don't see anymore. I can be reached @ 201 233 4938 to answer any questions you may have and encourage anyone who can to come for an inspection/test drive. Please do not call me to compare this vehicle with the other high mileage junk listed elsewhere. I am negotiable for the right buyer. I enjoy driving this car and will do so until it sells so the mileage will be slightly higher than listed. Thanks for looking

BMW offering glitch fix for i3 with range extender
Thu, Mar 12 2015The BMW i3 has received quite a bit of acclaim since its release, with the electric powertrain grabbing a spot on Ward's 10 Best Engines list and the high-tech machine earning the nod as 2015 Green Car of the Year. However, Consumer Reports uncovered a vexing problem with the range-extended version of the hatchback that has plagued it until a recent software update. While CR was driving the range-extended i3 last year, it discovered that when the internal combustion engine was running during low states of charge, hard acceleration could suddenly cut back with no warning to the driver. This was especially problematic when passing. BMW knew about the issue and promised a software update in the spring. That improvement is now available. BMW spokesperson David Buchko tells Autoblog that the software update adds a percent-of-charge indicator to all models of the i3 to let drivers know just how much juice is left. For the range-extended model, it also provides a warning of possible power reduction when the charge reaches two percent. According to Consumer Reports, the revision lets the car anticipate needing more reserve power based on the topography from the navigation system, as well. For any i3 drivers who want the upgrade, they need to visit a dealer for installation, according to Buchko, but it should be come at no cost to owners. Related Video:
Mini nixes plans for 7-seater, Countryman to stay largest model
Sat, 08 Mar 2014Contrary 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.
Alex Zanardi back in the driver's seat with BMW
Tue, 21 Jan 2014If there's ever been an inspirational story in the pantheon of motor racing history, surely it's that of Alessandro Zanardi. The Italian driver worked his way up the motor racing ladder, making it into Formula One and winning two CART championships for Chip Ganassi Racing back before the series re-merged into IndyCars. Tragedy struck in 2001 when he lost both his legs in a crash at the Lausitzring in Germany, but rather than accept his fate, Alex pushed on. Fitted with prosthetic limbs, he learned to drive a racing car with hand controls and got back in the driver's seat.
Zanardi drove for BMW in the European Touring Car Championship and then in the World Touring Car Championship that replaced it, landing on the podium several times despite his physical disadvantage. He left racing in 2009 to train for the Paralympics, winning two gold medals in London, but Alex apparently couldn't shake the racing bug. BMW modified one of its M3 DTM racers with hand controls for him to test later that year. And now he's returning to motor racing full time.
BMW has just announced that Zanardi will be driving a Z4 GT3 in the Blancpain Sprint Series, the successor to the FIA GT Series and short-distance counterpart to the Blancpain Endurance Series. The car has been modified with the hand controls the Bavarian automaker's racing department fitted to the aforementioned M3 DTM and will be fielded by the ROAL Motorsport team with which Alex challenged for the European Touring Car Championship last decade.
