I am getting rid of my baby!!!! I hate to do it and the only reason i am is due to some extenuating liscense issues :)
Turns out driving a V12 can get some attention .... :)
It is stock to the bone and been baby'd- i am the forth owner a majority of the cars life was in florida under one owner(the second). I purchased off of ebay a coupoe years ago from dealership in Florida. I was nervous because they stated it was flawless except a spot where they buffed a little too low on the fender (exactly the size of my pinky). Sure enough.... when it was delivered and after a rinse off- flawless except a spot on the drivers front fender exactly the size of my pinky but even that isnt bad- 87xxx miles Interior is also flawless except it is missing the stock mobile phone. Headliner is grey suede and a classy touch. Just got new 19" Niche black rims, new back tires need new front tires. Recently replaced brakes. The car drives beautifully and shifts like a dream, the ride alone gives BMW a name. As if that wasnt enough you get a chance to put it to the floor and hold on, similar to a fighter jet- make sure you have plenty of room. The car has no electronic limit and is fully capable of 180mph+
Although it is a VERY capable car i havent pushed it very much. In fact it has been driven every other day or so for two years only to work and back but that is all. A 5 mile commute at 8 am then back home at 5 is about all the craziness it got. The car is wonderful to drive and the looks you will get are indeed priceless. Of course the ones the ladies give are the best -
6 cd changer- however speakers are more or less shot- they were like this since i got car .... had been on list to replace but never got to it :(
I have driven alot of cars but this has been my favorite and i would not get rid of it but it is hard to justify a v12 when you dont have a liscense - please help me find a good home for it, these are rare and hard to find especially ones that arent picked apart by the neighborhood tuner. Happy bidding and enjoy.... hope one of you ends up with my baby!
If you have any question please contact me @ 417-655-3753 or joshua.alik@gmail.com
see pictures :) -will consider trades (anything AWD)
***I looked into the odometer issue prior to purchasing it initially off ebay.... county clerk made typo and added about ten thousand miles .... corrected it the following year so it shows a discrepancy- it has since been corrected and shows proper mileage on tax receipts etc. (has always shown proper mileage on vehicle-never tampered with)

Toyota sells off Tesla shares, too
Fri, 24 Oct 2014The incredible rise of Tesla's stock price has done little to now stop two major shareholders from ditching their stake in the American EV manufacturer. First, Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, ditched its four-percent stake, and less than a week later, Toyota is doing the same thing, selling off an undisclosed bit of its Tesla investment.
The move comes as Toyota winds down sales of the RAV4 EV, which gets its batteries and electric motor from Tesla at the company's Fremont, CA factory.
"We have a good relationship with Tesla, and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects," Toyota spokesperson Kayo Doi told Bloomberg via email.
BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe caught without cladding
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Like it or not, the majority of BMW 3 Series variants are on their way out, and the 4 Series models are hotly embroiled in the testing needed to replace them. We've now driven the basic 4 Series, seen spy photographs of the 4 Series Convertible and both versions of the M4 and today we get a better-than-ever look at the 4 Series Gran Coupe.
And, mostly dependent on your personal disposition towards four-dour coupes, that look should be a pleasant thing. The long, swooping Gran Coupe may be roughly similar in size to the related 3 Series GT, but it has been sculpted with beauty in mind rather than crossover function. We expect that those details still hidden by the body cladding here, mostly front and rear, can be filled in by simply remembering what the standard 4 Series looks like and squinting your eyes a bit. Subtlety is thy name, BMW variants.
As for the mechanicals, well, we expect to have the very same greasy bits under the hood and beneath the car that are found in the 4 Series lineup, too.
2015 BMW X3 arrives with tweaked styling, diesel option
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The luxury crossover market has been a huge success for BMW, having sold over a million X3 models worldwide since the CUV first went on sale in 2003, not to mention all of the momentum its had with the larger X5. At the Chicago Auto Show, BMW is unveiling the refreshed 2015 X3, featuring an improved design, a new diesel engine option, and a rear-wheel drive variant.
The X3 is getting some handsome upgrades to the exterior. The twin, circular headlights now extend to touch the slightly widened, chrome kidney grille, to bring the styling in line with the 3 Series and 4 Series. (LED headlights are now optional, as well.) The front bumper gets reshaped brake cooling ducts, and the rear bumper gets a touch of additional metal trim at the bottom. BMW has also added standard LED turn signals in the side mirrors.
BMW has enhanced the interior with added chrome trim, high-gloss black trim around the center console, sliding covers for the cup holders and new interior upholstery designs. The X3 is also getting a major boost in optional technology - there's a new Parking Assistant, as well as an Active Driving Assistant with adaptive cruise control, Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning, Pedestrian Warning, and City Collision Mitigation.
