Rare 1991 BMW 850I Coupe Celebrity Owner


OVERVIEW: This is a rare find. This original CLASSIC 1991 BMW 850I was owned by a major celebrity Producer and Director. I do not have the release yet to mention his name and company, but interested parties can figure it out from the car fax. This is one of the true first supercars built. With original price tags of $80,000+, in 1991, it was BMW’s test bed for future cars with fly by wire technology and computers everywhere. Car is original down to still having the BMW phone installed and working and complete tool kit. If you are not familiar with this car please do the research.


This is 1991 BMW 850I #WBAEG2315MCB72269, has a Black exterior and  Black interior with gray trim and black wood panels.  It is the 12 cylinder engine, automatic trans with electronic stabilizer and traction control. It also has the optional Star Wheels. It is in excellent condition which I will outline below. Car has spent most of its life in either California or Arizona. All records of the car will come with it including all repair orders for 20 years. Car has been almost completely rebuilt as you will see from the records. I will also include original window sticker and manuals as well as repair manuals. Car had a list price of almost $80,000. It also came with the optional star wheels that are on the car.  Car has in storage and recently taken out and updated for use and now sale.  It has 153, 225 original miles on it. It is in excellent overall condition. I will detail all the work done to the car past and present. I will also represent the car to the best of my ability. But please realize this is a 24 year old vehicle and has not been driven a lot in the past few years. I only recently took it out of storage and have not driven it much. Clear NJ Title. Recently passed NJ State Inspection, and is inspected through 2015. I will list the major work done to the car over the years then go into a description.

2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible is easy, breezy, beautiful

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

BMW debuted its 2014 4 Series Convertible today at the LA Auto Show, and the sporting two-door will feature a folding hardtop - like the convertible 3 Series before it - and be offered in 428i and 435i guises.
The 428i Convertible is equipped with BMW's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, which pumps out 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque - good for sprinting from 0-60 miles per hour in 6.2 seconds. The 435i Convertible gets the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, which steps up output to 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. The topless 435i drops the 0-60-mph time to 5.5 seconds. Both cars come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that a manual transmission will not be offered on 4 Series Convertibles in the US market.
The 4 Series Convertible will be offered in Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport trims. Pricing starts at $48,750 for the 428i Convertible and $54,900 for the 435i. Head on below to peruse the (long) press release for details.

2014 BMW X5 recalled over faulty child-safety locks

Tue, 27 May 2014

BMW is set to recall some 6,400 of its new-for-2014 X5 SUVs built between December 12, 2013 and March 10, 2014 due to concerns that the child safety locks, if set, might deactivate without warning. The problem affects only those vehicles with the automatic soft-closing option.
According to the bulletin issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the lock mechanism on the rear doors "may not have been manufactured to correct tolerances," meaning the safety locks could disengage with a simple pull of the door handle. Basically, with a pair of tugs, the rear doors could be opened from the inside, regardless of child safety locks.
BMW is in the process of notifying owners of affected vehicles. Any necessary repairs will be conducted free of charge. Take a look below for the official press release from NHTSA.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
