Welcome up for auction is a pristine 2000 BMW 740il. This is the fourth 740il I have owned fixed up and sold over the last 3 years. These vehicles are magnificent and an awesome car to drive. They get a surprising 23 MPG in the city if you drive the vehicle respectfully. I am the 3rd owner and have all service records from 2000. This car has been meticulously maintained and all work done by an authorized BMW mechanic. This car has never been in a wreck and I have the title free and clear. I buy these cars to fix up and send on to the next owner. When I got this vehicle like I said it was in great condition and only had to replace a few parts. The work I have had done since in my possession: replaced the 2 BMW badges front and rear, I replaced 2 speakers that were blown (that's how awesome the stereo systems are in theses cars), 2 tan rear ash trays were broken never smoked in so I replaced them with 750il burl wood ash trays which gives it a more sophisticated look, replaced the fog lights as they were broken from road rocks, replaced the 2 front kidney chrome grills as one had a split in it, did a complete tune up with the replacement of spark plugs, oil filter, air filter, and gas filter, replaced old battery, replaced all oils and fluids with new, replaced ABS speed sensor-s, replaced ABS sensor-n, replaced camshaft sensor bank 1, and finally replaced A/C belt and the main serpentine belt. All functions in vehicle work properly and maintain all pixels in all computer displays. The interior is in wonderful condition with no rips or tears in leather seats front and back, I have added a pair of BMW black floor matts as a nice contrast to the tan interior. I have also purchased another laser cut KEY which you have to order from an authorized BMW dealership by showing your title to the vehicle and cost $240.00. The vehicle passed the California smog test. Tires are in great condition with about 60% tread left on tire. The A/C blows nice and cold, ready for the summer ahead. The car has a low 159000 miles and is just now breaking in for these types of vehicles, the owners manual suggest that the oil to be replaced every 10,000 miles which most vehicle suggest half those miles. I would conservatively rate this vehicle at an 8.5 out of 10 as the car is 13 years old and does have a few small nicks from normal road driving but nothing major. I am a BMW enthusiast and I always put off selling these cars when I own one and I have now put it off long enough so with that being said, thank you for looking and please bid responsibly. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me at 209 229 6522 and ask for JD. After auction has completed I require that a $500 deposit be paid to my Paypal account within 48hrs of auctions completion. I have no problem with helping arrange for transportation of vehicle. Thanks again and good bidding.

BMW unleashes 160-hp S 1000 R streetfighter motorcycle
Wed, 06 Nov 2013BMW Motorrad released the S 1000 RR superbike in 2010, but for those who'd like to take it down a (small) notch, the German motorcycle maker introduced the 2014 S 1000 R, a slightly less-ballsy version of the range-topping superbike, at EICMA on Tuesday.
In its transformation from 193-horsepower superbike to 160-hp sportbike, BMW detuned the 999cc inline four-cylinder engine a bit by lowering the redline from 13,000 RPM to 11,000 RPM, where peak power is made. Torque is rated at "approximately" 83 pound-feet (the RR makes 82.5 lb-ft), but more importantly, engineers tweaked the torque delivery in the R's favor by redesigning the cylinder-head ducts, modifying the camshaft profiles and reprogramming the engine management system. The result is seven lb-ft more torque than the RR up to 7,500 RPM. The R's torque peak occurs at 9,250 RPM.
The bike comes standard with ASC (automatic stability control) and "Race" ABS. Riders can choose between two modes, "Road" and "Rain," which adjust ABS and ASC settings to suit dry or wet roads. DTC (dynamic traction control) is available as an option, and with two modes, "Dynamic" and "Dynamic Pro," the system optimizes traction and helps riders achieve maximum acceleration.
BMW announces M235i xDrive, 7 Series Exclusive among summer upgrades
Tue, 13 May 2014Like any automaker worth its lug-nuts, BMW is constantly striving to improve its products. And so it has announced a series of upgrades for the summer - none of them revolutionary, but a couple of them notable.
For one, the Bavarian automaker has announced that is is offering xDrive traction on the M235i coupe, a model that has been available until now only in rear-drive configuration. The all-wheel drive version comes with the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six with 326 horsepower (320 in the US market) and eight-speed automatic transmission as the rear-drive version, but now channels that power to all four wheels for a 0-62 time quoted at 4.6 seconds - two little ticks quicker than the existing version. It's the first time that all-wheel drive is being offered on the 2 Series, and will also be fitted on the convertible - at least, that is, in Europe. We're waiting on confirmation of North American availability.
Among the other announcements is a special edition of BMW's flagship luxury sedan. The 7 Series Exclusive Edition upgrades with metallic paint, 19-inch V-spoke alloys, Nappa leather upholstery and a leather-trimmed instrument panel. Buyers will also be able to opt for the Merino fine grain leather and Alcantara roof lining from the BMW Individual catalog, and choose between any available engine or either wheelbase lengths.
2014 BMW 328i xDrive Gran Turismo
Thu, 24 Apr 2014"The Ultimate Driving Machine" has been BMW's tagline for nearly 40 years. Launched in the 1970s, the marketing campaign was a stroke of genius by ad firm Ammirati & Puris, as the phrase helped differentiate the imported Bavarian cars from their fellow European rivals by subtly pointing out that Mercedes-Benz and Audi were offering luxury models, while BMW was selling sporty and youthful driving dynamics. The campaign worked - some would argue that stands among the most effective ad campaigns ever - and countless Baby Boomers embraced the brand's fun-to-drive image by taking delivery of the company's new models.
BMW still boasts that its vehicles are "The Ultimate Driving Machine" four decades later, but the brand is very different today. It offered just a few model lines in the mid-1970s, and only a handful of vehicles within. In 2014, the automaker offers an exhaustive range comprised of nearly a dozen lines with almost 50 different models. To survive and thrive, BMW has decided it must massively broaden its appeal.
One of the latest arrivals to BMW's ever-growing stable is the 2014 3 Series Gran Turismo. The five-door hatchback is best thought of as a smaller version of the company's 5 Series Gran Turismo built on stretched 3 Series platform that, in the case of this test car, shares the running gear of the 328i xDrive sedan. On paper, the five-passenger vehicle checks all the proper boxes with regards to performance, utility and economy. But does this family-focused 3 Series still deliver driving dynamics that qualify it for the title of Ultimate Driving Machine?
