If you have always wanted two own a sports car and a luxury sedan but could only afford one, this BMW 745LI is perfect for you. With the push of a button (sport EDC) it will completely transform the vehicle by stiffening the shock absorbers, increase the steering feel, and boosting the active roll stabilizers (ARS). The transmission has a sport mode or you can switch it to full manual mode via steering wheel pushbuttons. If left in manual mode you can even start out in third gear (complete driver control for icy conditions) Switch EDC back to Normal and you have you smooth riding luxury cruiser again. It truly is like two different vehicles in one.
As you can tell from the mileage this BMW excels on the highway. It was designed for the Autobahn and the highway is where it has spent most of its life visiting family on the west coast. This is the ideal highway cruiser since it is able to transport 4 adults in supreme comfort. No one will be calling shotgun since there isn’t a bad seat, the rear seats are heated, cooled and recline able just like the fronts, although both fronts feature massage function. There are individually powered rear curtains for added privacy or shading. Even the driver will have a relaxing time eating up the miles with the use of adaptive cruise. Basically the driver can set a fixed distance to the vehicle in front in which the BMW will accelerate and brake itself in order to maintain that distance or set speed. This BMW is the epitome of luxury, in fact every options you have to pay a huge premium for in price and gas mpg penalty to get in the flagship 12 cylinder 760LI is found in this more fuel efficient 745LI V8 model. Soft close doors, an air conditioned center storage compartment are a few of the nice touches. One other item which sets this apart from basic 7 series is the air-ride rear suspension, (optioned with EDC) which will maintain a superior ride independent of the loading. Everything works. The only exception is the driver side cat which occasionally triggers a below threshold efficiency light. It is not bad and will reset sometimes but since it has not affected gas mileage I never addressed the issue (25mpg on the highway). Rockauto has converters for $350 or $160 if you send your old one in, also there is a TPM light on. Other than that the vehicle drives like a dream. It is truly one of the most pleasurable vehicle I have ever owned. It has Centric Rotors and Akebono Ceramic pads all around, Led angel eyes and KN filters. Everything else is stock. Vehicle is ready for another cross country trip. 713-836-15O8 |

BMW M4 to debut in Detroit, lose manual transmission
Wed, 21 Aug 2013BMW took the wraps off its M4 Concept at Pebble Beach last weekend, and many speculated that the highly anticipated production version of the sleek new two-door sports coupe would debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this year. But a well-placed source tell Autoblog that the E92 M3's successor won't arrive in Southern California this November. Instead, the German automaker will wait until the Detroit Auto Show in January for its first official reveal.
An all-new 3.0-liter inline-six with twin turbochargers is expected under the hood, and it should provide about the same horsepower as the current 4.0-liter V8 (rated at 414 horsepower), but with much more torque that arrives lower on the tachometer. The lightweight engine is said to have an impressively high redline, which is unusual for a turbocharged engine.
Unfortunately, Save the Manuals members aren't going to like this next bit of news. After four generations of three-pedal M3 models, our source says the upcoming F82 M4 will arrive with a dual-clutch transmission (DCT) as standard equipment - with no manual option - just like the latest iteration of the track-ready Porsche GT3 (few have complained about the automaker's PDK after driving the latest sports car from Stuttgart). In exchange for some moans, groans and gripes from enthusiasts, BMW's DCT mounted aft of the M4's inline-six will provide quicker acceleration and improved fuel economy.
2015 BMW M3 Sedan, M4 Coupe are officially revealed [w/video]
Wed, 11 Dec 2013
The new 3.0-liter inline-six makes 425 turbocharged horsepower from 5500 rpm all the way up to 7300 rpm.
BMW has announced the 2015 M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe, high-performance versions of the new 3 Series and 4 Series that launched this year. The new Ms have stirred controversy in a variety of ways, but one must remember that the M cars traditionally don't follow a specific mold.
Mercedes fights off late BMW surge to claim 2013 luxury sales crown
Sat, 04 Jan 2014The king is dead - long live the king. Mercedes-Benz is now your new US sales champion in the fiercely competitive luxury market, deposing the champ BMW, which has enjoyed annual supremacy for the past two years.
Thanks in no small part to the dynamite launch of the new, affordable CLA-Class, not to mention a redesigned E-Class and hot-selling S-Class, Mercedes moved 33,007 units in December alone, while sales in 2013 were up 14 percent, to 312,534. BMW, meanwhile, managed to sell 309,280 units in 2013. It was far from a sure thing for the Stuttgart-based brand, though, as BMW managed to nearly halve its rival's sales lead heading into the last month of 2013.
"We saw record sales, flexed our muscles across the entire product line from top to bottom and brought the customer experience to an all-time high," said Steve Cannon, Mercedes USA's CEO. While we don't have individual figures, it seems at first blush that the CLA was really the car that pushed Mercedes over the top.
