Clean Title, Heavily Modified and Finely Tuned. I have the CARFAX also. To answer the first question on everyone's mind, I am posting this because it is becoming impractical for me and my family to have it. My family is growing, I need a four door vehicle or a house with more garage space. Since the later is less realistic for me, the car can be replaced for something the whole family can use. This car has been a joy to build and use. I've owned it for about 6 years and have clocked less than 6,000 miles per year on it. It has been babied. Any little tick or sound has been remedied and fixed about the moment I notice it. I have documents and receipts totalling over $27,000 in repairs and modifications not including what I paid to buy the car. I'm sure there are several hundreds of dollars more I don't have receipts for repairs and modifications. Repairs were to replace worn out parts, like the alternator and water pump, and modifications are a plenty. I bought this car from my best friend who needed the money at the time. Besides the engine swap, I did the rest of the modifications. The only thing that is left original on this car, basically, is the drivetrain and disc brakes.
Here is a list of the changes made to this car from stock:

3.0 motor replaced with a new 3.2 liter motor at 111,246 miles

There are most likely parts i've missed listing, but the major stuff is there. I have tons of extra parts too. The A/C blows cold and everything works. I have a sub-box and amp in the trunk too. The little computer in the center console had some pixels not working so I just unplugged it. From what you could read, it worked just fine, it just annoyed me. There are some paint blemishes on the front from regular driving on the crappy Utah roads, tiny rocks and stuff are unforgiving. There is also a crack in the LF headlight casing and bumper cover in the center area. There are minor scratches here and there, but barely noticable. I tried taking pictures of them, but they just don't show up well enough, that is how minor they are.
This baby dynoed at 302 rear wheel horsepower at 6 psi of boost. I'm sure if you drove it down to sea level it would dyno around 375 rear wheel horsepower and be pushing around 9 psi. I have a group of friends with a similar setup on their M3's and they are at sea level and that is what their power and boost levels are at. She is a sleeper for sure. I pass the emissions tailpipe sniffer and inpection every year with flying colors. This car is fully street legal and safe with a CLEAN title. I drove it to work and back for the last 6 years which is why you will only see about 5-6,000 miles per year on it. My bride hates driving the clutch and we hate packing the family in the smallness of it when we take it out. Like I said before, it is impractical for me and my family.
I am looking for the right buyer. I have it listed locally (and reserve the right to end the listing early).
The car is genuinely for sale and I am not up a creek if it doesn't sell so, please, no low ball offers and if you come to see it, no joy rides. I respectfully ask for serious interest only. Obviously nobody can buy this car with a conventional auto loan, you'll need more than that. Thank you for reading this far. Please email me with ANY questions before you bid or offer. I will be happy to talk over the phone too, just email me if you're interested. The car is sold AS-IS with no warranty expressed or implied. I'll only accept cash or a cashiers check from a reputable bank or credit union. Once payment has cleared I will give up possession of the car.

BMW broadens engine bolt recall to nearly half-million cars worldwide
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Almost one month ago, we reported on a BMW investigation into a potentially defective bolt that lived in the company's VANOS variable valve timing system. At that point, the potential recall was seemingly limited to Chinese-market cars; the company was filing a recall application with Chinese officials.
Today, Bloomberg is reporting that the engine bolt issue has expanded into a recall for several world markets, involving some 489,000 vehicles. BMW was able to verify that report to Autoblog, while also providing a great deal more detail about the issue and vehicles affected.
The recall affects vehicles powered by N55 inline six-cylinder gasoline engines equipped with VANOS and Valvetronic technologies. 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series and 5 Series Gran Turismo, X3, X5, X6 and Z4 models from the 2010 to 2012 model years are included, as is the 2012 6 Series.
Recharge Wrap-up: electric taxis in Montreal, Sebastien Buemi leads Formula E testing
Wed, Aug 12 2015Sebastien Buemi leads the pack in the second session of Formula E pre-season testing. Buemi, driving for Renault e.dams, set a new lap record at Donington Park with a time of 1:31.050s. Buemi says that, with a little bit of work, he feels like he could shave off another second or more. "We could do quite a bit on the car and the car is a bit easier to drive, the stability is better, the brakes are better," he says. "I see some good potential, we just need to extract it from the car." Sam Bird was the second fastest during the testing session, followed by Daniel Abt. Read more in the press release below. A Montreal taxi company plans to create a fleet of 2,000 electric taxis by 2019. Taxi Hochelaga currently has the city's second largest fleet with 500 taxis currently in service. Owner Alexandre Taillefer believes this large fleet of green taxis will help the company compete with ride services like Uber and Lyft. "We want to be an alternative to the second car and even to the first," says Taillefer. "We will reduce traffic on the roads and pollution." The company's first electric cabs could be in service as early as November. Read more at Green Car Reports, or, if you speak French, at Le Journal de Montreal. DriveNow is open to franchising. The carsharing company, owned by BMW and rental company Sixt, will allow third parties to operate the DriveNow program in certain cities, according to a report. DriveNow is set to launch a fleet of 400 electric cars in Copenhagen, Denmark with the help of Arriva Plc. Read more from Automotive News Europe.

For the current quarter ending in October, Kandi Tech said it expects revenue in the range of $49 million to $51 million. Kandi Tech shares have dropped 45 percent since the beginning of the year.

BUEMI STAYS ON TOP IN SECOND TEST Renault e.dams driver heads field for consecutive days at Donington Park DONINGTON PARK, UK (August 11 2015): Sebastien Buemi broke the Formula E lap record at Donington Park as he once again set the fastest time in pre-season testing.
BMW i5 could get Toyota-sourced hydrogen power
Tue, 18 Nov 2014It's starting to feel like the automotive landscape is right on the cusp of a boom in hydrogen-fueled vehicles. After all, the Toyota FCV is nearly ready, Volkswagen is readying a fuel cell concept for this week's Los Angeles Auto Show and Hyundai already sells its Tucson Fuel Cell. The next big name to add to that list might be BMW, as the company's co-development deal with Toyota starts to bear fruit.
According to Autocar, BMW may use a version of the fuel cell system from the Toyota FCV in the future i5. As part of its eco-oriented i sub-brand, the i5 is expected to be a stretched version of the i3 (pictured above) with extra rear legroom and cargo space. It's unclear at the moment whether a battery-powered pure electric powertrain will also be available. If accurate, then the rumor could give the Bavarian brand a counterattack against Mercedes-Benz' planned fuel cell vehicle in 2017.
BMW and Toyota first signed the memorandum of understanding to co-develop fuel cells, lightweight technology and a sports car back in 2012, and they made the arrangement official in late 2013. So far, few details on the progress of the work have been disclosed, but the performance model has been rumored to use a front-engine, all-wheel drive layout with supercapacitors.
