Unfortunately it is time to part with some of my toys to make room for more... see my other listings for my '95 MB G-Wagen in the pictures.

Incredibly rare, this 1991 E31 BMW 850i with a 5.0 liter V12 and 6-speed manual transmission is one of under 600 brought to the US with this combination. Drawing longing looks and lots of attention everywhere we go, people are amazed that she is 22 years old. With 140,032 miles on the clock, I have averaged under 4000 miles per year in my 10+ years of ownership... she really wants/needs/deserves to be driven far more than I do. The Diamond Schwartz Metallic exterior underwent a full panel-off repaint back in 2003 shortly after I purchased the car, and it still shines beautifully. The Silbergrau grey interior was also replaced at the same time, but the driver's seat is showing signs of wear/sun fade/cracking that could be easily repaired/replaced. The staggered M-parallel wheels are shod with nearly new 245/40/18's in the front and 275/35/18's in the rear. The stereo has been completely, professionally reworked - JVC headunit with DVD, Bluetooth, iPod, XM etc. plus all Kicker speakers with components up front, coaxials in the rear, with two SoloBarics and two amps in the trunk - with 1200 watts of power, this system rocks. Xenon Stage II low beams are installed, as are Dinan performance chips.

I just returned home from a 1500 mile road trip along the East Coast, where she cruised effortlessly at a steady 80mph eating up the highway miles and also managed the inevitable stop-and-go DC traffic without issue. Also managed a very respectable 19.7mpg on the trip thanks in large part to the very tall 6th gear (2200rpm at 80mph) and wonderfully slippery shape.

Known issues are few and minor. The driver's side window 'auto-drop' function (window lowers slightly when opening door, then goes back up to seal when closed) isn't quite working right... the window goes back up shortly after opening the door, so you need to pull the handle again before closing the door. There is also a small electrical discharge at all times, so if you don't run her for a couple weeks her batteries will be dead - both batteries were replaced in March. The computer display has three columns of dead pixels. Also, 'Tail Light Failure' displays most of the time on the computer despite not having a tail light failure (rarely other light failure displays instead), mechanic thinks it's the LKM Light Control Module but it's a minor annoyance so I didn't fix. Very slow leak of hydraulic brake booster/power steering fluid, requires top up every 3000 miles or so as the power steering will start to whine. I keep a bottle of the special Pentosin CHF 7.1 fluid where the CD changer used to be in the trunk in case I am away from home when it needs topped up. Sunroof won't open, a tooth broke on one of the slides - I have new parts (which I will include) but never used the sunroof anyway so I completely forgot to have it looked at last couple times it was in the shop.

Recent major services on top of the new batteries as stated above are:

Master Cylinder and Washer Pump in August 2012

Rear Pinion Seal, A/C Switch, and Control Arm Bushings in August 2011

Heater Core in June 2009

A/C Compressor in November 2008

Clutch (at 131k miles) and Water Pump in December 2006

Freshly waxed and detailed, she is ready for a loving home where her owner can take her out to dinner far more often than I am able. Feel free to contact me through eBay with any questions.

2014 BMW 2 Series earns IIHS Top Safety Pick+ [w/video]

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has just certified its latest Top Safety Pick+, honoring the all-new BMW 2 Series with the coveted rating.
IIHS cited the 2 Series' crash test ratings, which were rated as "Good" in the small overlap, moderate overlap, side and rollover. In the tricky small overlap test, the crash test dummy was at a "low risk of any significant injury."
The Institute was also complimentary of the 2 Series' head restraint system and its collision prevention system, including forward collision warning and City Braking.

BMW bringing special Horse Edition 7 Series to Beijing

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

The Beijing Motor Show is just a couple of weeks away, and BMW wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to show off its latest wares to one of its most vital markets. So when the doors open in Beijing, BMW will showcase the new 2 Series Active Tourer, 2 Series Coupe, M3 and M4, 4 Series Gran Coupe and X4. It will also introduce the i3 and i8 to China for the first time. But those are all models we've seen already. What's new is... wait for it... the 7 Series Horse Edition.
Not celebrating horses so much as the Year of the Horse, this special edition 7 Series is based on the long-wheelbase model and comes with all manner of M equipment packages, a special paint job from BMW Individual and unique touches inside and out. BMW isn't saying which engine it features, but it sells the series in China in 730Li, 740Li, 750Li, 760Li and ActiveHybrid forms, with rear- or all-wheel drive. Given that the one pictured is wearing an xDrive badge, it would have to be either the 740Li or 750Li, but buyers will presumably be able to order it in whichever spec they desire.
While it may not be as exciting as the 9 Series concept BMW is rumored to have lined up for the Beijing show as well, you can bet that the Bavarian automaker will find plenty of buyers for this extra-special, extra-Chinese, extra-equestrian luxury sedan, and command a healthy premium from each and every one of them.

BMW won't build M4 Gran Coupe

Fri, 04 Jul 2014

Over the last few years, it feels like BMW has looked at its lineup and decided to offer a vehicle in every possible segment that it can find, no matter how small. The company is finally showing some restraint, though, at least when it comes to the high performance M division. For example, don't expect to see an M4 Gran Coupe at your local BMW dealer in the future.
M GmbH sales chief Jörg Bartels told Cars Guide in Australia, "It was definitely considered, but there is no plan to build an M4 Gran Coupe." The sport sedan just wouldn't make financial sense, he said. BMW already builds the M3 and M4 at separate factories, adding a third for such a niche model would be too much. Plus, the M3 already fills out the segment.
If you wanted an M model with a bit more storage space in the back, Bartels dashed those dreams, as well. He said that there isn't an M3 Gran Turismo hatchback in the pipeline, either.
