Very rare 1986 BMW 745IA, this model was never sold in the states, a very limited few were in imported/federalized for the states, car is loaded with all the top options, comes with with highline interior trim (basically leather stitched everything, door panels, dashboard, center console, everything), also has the extremely rare limousine style rear remote control for the radio and seats (see pictures) the large 6 cylinder with the factory turbo is rated at 252 horsepower with 380 nm of torque, this particular model had as much horsepower as the 80s U.S. version M5/M6 (they were rated at 256 horsepower), these vehicle had a whole lot more torque (the beauty of the factory turbo), this was also considered the fastest sedan for it's time.  The best part is these vehicles have low turbo pressure 6psi, and I've read literature where you can double the power with a turbo pressure increase to 10 psi.  The only book value is can find on this car is NADA.com, they're price listing is $6100 low retail, $10000 high retail, I imagine the value should be somewhere underder the $6k.  Almost forgot to mention the car runs very good (the idle is rough on initial start but once it warms up its smooth), the ride is unbelievably butter smooth for a car this old, the engine, tranny and rear is tight, no smoke or oil coming from the exhaust pipe.  I reserve the right to end the auction early if I reach an agreeable price with buyer.  Any questions please call me at 910-494-7666 or email me at coorvette@hotmail.com    Basically all this car really needs is a good paint job, re-upholster the front seats and dash board, leather treatment on the door panels and rear seats, a good oil change and it would be a good driver.  Please see attached pictures

Six luxury-car features I'm ashamed to admit I love

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

A hot compress felt wonderful on my sore back. The methodical kneading of my shoulder blades loosened the knots that formed over several hours of driving. The Swedish-style pulses firing into my lumbar region released more tension.
I wasn't getting a much-needed massage following a recent road trip. I was getting it during the road trip.
I grew up riding in the back seat of a 1976 Chevy Nova. But once you use these lux features, it's easy to go soft.

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.

BMW predicts 2 Series Active Tourer will have 75% conquest rate

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

In the last few years, BMW has definitively proven that it wasn't a slave to its legacy. In the US, the 3 Series was generally associated with smooth, flat-six engines, but the Bavarian brand dropped a four-cylinder turbo into it. The company was also known for its sports sedans, and it went green with the i3 and i8. Now, rear-wheel drive is off the table as defining its vehicles, as well. With the imminent launch of the 2 Series Active Tourer, the Bavarian's models are going front drive and opening up themselves to a whole new group of customers, so the thinking goes.
"We are expecting the Active Tourer will have a conquest rate of around 75 percent," said Frank Niederlaender, a BMW product manger, to Automotive News Europe. If you're not hip to the lingo, that means three quarters of the hatchback's buyers would come from other brands - an impressive figure, if accurate.
When it hits the road, the 2 Series Active Tourer will be the first BMW-branded vehicle to use the company's UKL front-wheel drive platform, already on the current Mini Cooper. The roomy hatchback is aimed at young families looking for a car that is luxurious but can still tote around the tots. It launches in Europe in September to compete against similar models like the Mercedes-Benz B-Class, but the Bimmer isn't crossing the Atlantic to the US until early 2015, according to ANE.
