After a lot of time and fun on this car, it is finally time to move on. This car has quite a story, and a lot of pictures of the build to go along with it if you are interested. I originally picked this car up two years ago from another loving owner as a 530i M sport 5 speed with a broken windshield and no stereo completely bone stock for $4100. It has a list of receipts from past owners along with all of the book stuff from BMW when it was originally purchased. I had the windshield replaced and installed a very nice pioneer deck immediately, and also had plans to buy a 4.0L V8 to swap into it. After about 6 months I found an engine for sale pulled from a 1995 740i (preferable since the 7 series only came in automatic so the engine couldn't have been ripped on too hard) The engine had 130,000 miles on it, but was professionally rebuilt by BMW at 100,000 miles due to the nikasil block problems these engines had. So the engine really only has about 30,000 miles on it. I purchased it for $900 and also purchased new gaskets to redo the engine. I replaced everything besides the head gaskets which are in great condition. After re-gasketing the engine, I picked up a brand new stage 1 clutch and Flywheel for $1300. I also bought a 6-speed transmission pulled from a totaled Z8 for $1000 and I dropped it off at eastside transmission to have it looked through(they found it to be in perfect order) then they re-gasketed it and filled it up with new oil. I then ordered a brand new E34 M5 drive shaft(for power handling) and had the back end shortened with a new yolk to fit my differential all done by drivelines northwest in Seattle. The differential and subframe are from a late model 535i auto. The differential also had the yolk changed to fit and disassembled,checked, re-gasketed, and filled with redline racing fluid by Northwest differential in kirkland. It is a 3.91 LSD. Sub frame received some love as I replaced the bushings and repainted everything for rust prevention. The exhaust is custom made by Tim at muffler king in kirkland and it sounds fantastic! The computer was tuned by a guy in Renton who makes performance chips for these car. It dynoed at 320 crank HP and 330 tq. fuel economy is sacrificed a bit for these specs but who cares, its a V8 already. The suspension was custom made by BC racing and is 32 way adjustable dampening, ride height and spring pre-load adjustable with 6k springs up front and 8k in the rear. The front struts are weld in only, so I had it done by a FIA certified welder at 425 Motorsports in bellevue for $600. At the same time that they did this, they also built custom one off racing seat brackets which came out to $700 because they are very different than normal seat brackets, and I can explain better with pictures. The car comes with both original seats, one recaro SRD in perfect condition, and both racing seat brackets. It also will have the very rare AC Schnitzer style 3 two piece wheels pictured mounted up along with brand new Michelin pilot sport 3 tires 235/40/18. The car also has an all new coolant system including water pump, radiator, fan, fan shroud, and hoses.

-Hawk Organic Pads
-Custom BC Racing Coilovers

-Other stuff that I cant remember

The car is a load of fun to drive, it does 0-60 in 4.7 second and loves to slide around corners. The paint could be in better condition, but it is 18 years old, and looks pretty good for that age. It is very solid and I will miss it forever, but I am ready for another project now. Thank you:)

Mercedes and VW battling Uber and Apple to spend billions on Nokia mapping division

Tue, May 12 2015

Whether for autonomous driving or simply better navigation, digital mapping is closely linked with the future of motoring. The sale of a major player in that industry is spurring a showdown between automotive behemoths and tech giants, and it's a fascinating battle to watch unfold. Nokia is selling its Here mapping division, and while the company might not have the name recognition of Google, it controls about 70 percent of the auto market. The business is valued at $785 million, according to Reuters, but is likely to sell for significantly more. Case in point: Uber reportedly submitted a $3 billion bid. Apple has also been rumored to be among those interested in purchasing Here. A trio of German automotive heavyweights is mounting a challenge to Silicon Valley, though. According to Reuters speaking to two unnamed insiders, Daimler, BMW, and Audi are teaming up to submit a joint bid for an undisclosed sum. They're worried that if Here falls under the control of tech companies, then automakers might have limited availability to these vital maps in the future. Nokia bought Here for $8.1 billion in 2007, according to Reuters. The company operates a fleet of vehicles with cameras and LIDAR that drive around the world to create high-definition maps. It also generates even more information by using the GPS data from shipping and trucking companies.

BMW i8 official images leak ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

The new BMW i8 plug-in electric supercar isn't set to make its official debut until September 10, when it will glide onto the Frankfurt Motor Show stage amidst a sea of flash photography. Of course, that isn't so true in today's world, where debuts are always preceded (often carefully) by "leaks."
Take this trio of images of the BMW i8 - there's just enough of the exterior on display in the profile shot to draw attention, without showing important styling points that might be present on the front or back of the car. The same goes for the video attached below. The cabin shot is cool, but isn't particularly earth-shattering when it comes to BMW interiors. As for the skeletal shot, we can see the 1.5-liter, turbocharged engine positioned between the rear axles, the battery pack found in what would be the transmission tunnel and the front-mounted electric motors.
We'll have a full set of live images when the BMW i8 makes its debut in Frankfurt next week. Until then, have a look in the gallery and at the video below, and let us know what you think of BMW's next big thing.

BMW X1 EV for Zinoro spotted

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

BMW has teamed up with Chinese automaker Brilliance Automotive to create a joint venture in China, called Zinoro, and it appears that an all-electric version of the X1 crossover is to be the brand's first model. Spotted testing in Munich, these spy shots show a more camouflaged version of the X1 EV that we saw back in April.
Comparing these latest spy shots, we can see that the Zinoro model will wear a completely unique front fascia that ditches BMW's trademark grille, but few other changes seem to be taking place. Previous reports indicate that this Zinoro EV could go on sale in China early next year.
