RARE 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANS with EXCELLENT SERVICE HISTORY! As a rule, we don't usually carry cars of this age or mileage, but there's always an exception - in this case a very rare manual E39 is generally very good condition. We know the history of the car and it has received prompt and effective attention whenever needed, though it reached the end of its previous owners patience when it blew a head gasket recently. We had that done, along with much other minor engine work and we believe the result is a car that will not only be an absolute blast to drive, but will offer several years of reliable service to someone. And incidentally, if you are familiar with the efficiency of that indestructible BMW 2.8l inline Six, you know that this engine/trans combo can easily net high 20's in fuel economy - OR you can drive it like a sports car and it will almost handle and respond like one. 

Certainly the 528 of this generation is one of the most competent and versatile - and durable - cars ever built. If you are a fan, this one's for you! Please bear in mind that this car is a GIANT step above what you are usually likely to encounter in this age of car; everything works as it should - AC, lights, windows, radio (trunk CD changer, too!), seats, wipers - ALL OF IT!. And the car will not embarrass you when you pull up to the Country Club or the mosh pit; no significant dents or scratches, no blistering or fading paint, no curbed wheels, matching performance tires, smooth bumpers, etc. And inside, believe or not, the wood is NOT cracked, the leather is not stained or worn through, the carpets are clean, the steering wheel is not alligatored, and miracle of miracle, the headliner is not sagging! 

Don't miss it. Give us a call at 770-667-5280 or drop by our lot conveniently located at 245 S Main St (Hwy 9) in Downtown Alpharetta, just a block South of Old Milton (Hwy 120). But don't procrastinate- there's probably not another out there in this condition. If you are an out-of-town buyer we strongly encourage and will participate fully in getting you a Pre-Purchase Inspection at a local independent garage of your choosing or at the franchised dealer. If you prefer to have the car shipped to you, we will help with a wholesale rate on shipping and will allow a return if we are notified within 3 days and you pay return shipping.  You can visit our website (luxuryimportsinc.com) for more pictures and we will be glad to take as many more as you need, including underside shots and video of the drive.

Renderings may show upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

We've already shown you spy images of the latest member of the BMW Gran Coupe family, the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Following the trend of the larger 6 Series Gran Coupe, the 4 Series variant grafts a spare set of doors onto its two-door body.
Now, the f30post forum has come up with what it says are patent drawings of the new 4GC (originally from Chinese site Autohome.com), giving a glimpse of what the coupe-sedan-thingy looks like without its camo in the way. What we're seeing is seemingly a mix of the 3 Series GT (noticeable around the rear window) with the larger Gran Coupe styling, while retaining the current 4 Series front end.
We can't say it looks great, but as these are merely renderings, it's far too early for us to come to a final conclusion on the overall look of the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Have a look up top at the patent images. We've also included our spy photos of the new Gran Coupe below. Let us know what you think of the latest niche product from BMW down in Comments.

BMW adds new entry-level 320i model, priced from $33,445*

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Fans of the new BMW 3 Series here in the US have likely been waiting for one of two models to arrive: the new M3 or the diesel-powered 335d. Well... keep waiting just a little bit longer. Here at the Detroit Auto Show, BMW is showing off the new entry-level 320i that will join the 3 Series lineup this spring, and rather than bringing added performance or efficiency, this car is boasting affordability above all. The 320i has been on sale in other markets since the current-generation 3 Series was introduced, but it goes on sale in the US with a starting price of $33,445 (*)including $895 for destination, which is $3,405 less than the current starting price of BMW's well-liked sedan.
In other countries, the 320i uses either a 1.5- or a 2.0-liter inline-four (both turbocharged), and the US version of the car will be getting the latter engine producing 180 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. For comparison, the current 328i, which uses this same engine, produces 240 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque. As expected, performance of the 320i will suffer with BMW estimating a 0-60 mile-per-hour time of 7.1 seconds, but it still has the same 130 mph top speed as the 328i. Oddly enough, despite the lower output, BMW's expected fuel economy for the 320i equipped with rear-wheel-drive and the eight-speed automatic transmission actually matches that of the current 328i with 23 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway, and those numbers are actually lower than the 328i with the manual gearbox.
It sounds like most of the usual 3 Series options will be available on the budget-minded 320i, including the choice of xDrive all-wheel drive, BMW Assist and numerous packages including a Sport pack and Premium pack. For a lot more information on the 320i, most of it general information on the F30 3 Series, scroll down for BMW's press release.

BMW 2 Series shows us its insides

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

We've already seen the upcoming BMW 2 Series testing in both coupe and convertible body styles, and now we're getting our first glimpse inside the new entry-level coupe. Judging by the sportier exterior that we've seen in previous spy shots, this car appears to be equipped with an M-Sport package, so this is likely not what the base interior will look like.
Compared to the current 1 Series, this new coupe will have cleaner cabin design including fewer buttons on the center stack and an instrument panel with more of a dual-brow design. This car has cloth seats with what appears to be a suede-like accent trim and blue stitching, and the seat's pattern is mimicked on the door panel. The 2 Series will also have a better integrated iDrive controller that operates the widescreen display mounted atop the instrument panel in a similar fashion as what we've seen recently on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and CLA-Class.
As mentioned about the exterior, the bigger wheels, blue brake calipers, dual exhaust outlet and subtle decklid spoiler all lead us to believe that this is the M-Sport, but it isn't sporty enough - inside or out - to make us think this is the rumored M2 model.
