All systems functioning, rust-free (California car, never in salt or snow), no fluid leaks, no oil smoke, no significant issues."

I am the third owner of this vehicle. Very-well maintained. Dinan S3 serial number, Dinan supercharger installation, Dinan trans. programming and Dinan rear diff. Dinan intake, K & N filter (plus a spare), Dinan exhaust. Dinan strut bar. Dinan suspension. Dinan anti-roll bars. Huge Stop-Tech cross-drilled front brakes. No accidents ever, as far as I know. Lifetime non-smoker (car and occupants!). Very clean. M5 front bumper cover. Lowered, upgraded very firm (but not particularly harsh) This car is well-sorted, reliable, and very powerful. Everything is working, including the a/c, which is very important lately! Recent (over the past 5000 miles or so) work includes four new tires (265/235-19), new front brake pads, new power steering hoses, new engine mounts, belts, coolant level sensor, intake gaskets, valve-cover gaskets, timing cover gaskets, battery, Mobil 1 (15W-50) oil change plus filter (performed earlier this month), spark plugs, one coil, and a secondary throttle solenoid and cable (DSC parts). No VANOS worries with this car, as it is pre-VANOS (and therefore makes more torque than the supercharged VANOS 4.4 engine does, iirc).
This car is an absolute blast to drive, and generates lots of 'nice car!' comments. It can be a sleeper if you drive gently, and is much like a stock pre-VANOS 540i in terms of acceleration up to about 3000 rpm, then pulls very, very hard after that. No top-speed limiter, I think. I'm not brave enough to find out, nor is it safe enough to try that on public roads, in my opinion. This car might do an honest 175, I don't know. I have not tracked it, but it would be awesome at a Driver's School, I suspect. Dinan does very thorough engineering work, and uses high-quality parts and labor, and this car shows it. The transmission shifts very crisply, especially in Sport mode, and shows no sign of weakness, as far as I can tell. It is pre-wired for and has the remote head unit for a Valentine 1. It has Sirius satellite radio (though I have never activated that feature - I like the sounds of the engine better, or a CD in the excellent Premium Sound system). It has HID headlamps and LED taillights. It has an alarm, although I pulled the fuse on it because it squawked every time you locked/unlocked the doors, and that annoyed me. I'm not a fan of alarms.
I am only selling this because I am purchasing a V-10 M5. Hate to see it go, but I just can't justify or store so many cars (even though I have tried...). I typically get 15 mpg city, running mostly in S4 mode. Highway might be 23-ish, I don't know, that's what my e39 M5 gets, and this should be similar or better, I'm guessing. The modifications were mostly done at about 40,000 miles, I believe. I do not have any paperwork from the first owner, however, and he had pretty much all of the work done, I think. The first person to see and drive this car will most likely purchase it, I'm guessing. Lots of grins per mile!

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.

BMW M4 pitted against i8 in drag race

Fri, Jan 2 2015

Germany's Auto Bild has set up a very intriguing drag race to settle not just an inter-brand rivalry within BMW but a question of the old school versus the latest tech. The BMW M4 is a leader among the traditional sports coupes with a turbocharged inline-six spinning the rear wheels, but the M has to tackle the cutting-edge i8 with its turbocharged three-cylinder augmented with electric drive. See what happens when they go head to head. Even on paper, the race looks quite close. The i8 weighs about 300 pounds less than the M4 and also slightly nudges it out on net torque at 420 pound-feet versus 406 lb-ft. Also in some shots, the pavement looks just a little bit damp here, which would benefit the i8's all-wheel drive setup. However, the M-car has a healthy horsepower advantage with 425 hp against the hybrid's 357 hp. The race commences after a short introduction. Watch and see whether the traditional tech or latest layout wins the day.
