Lincolnwood, Illinois, United States

Here it is folks. This is the one you've been waiting for. I have put over $8000 in this car in the past 19 months bringing it up to snuff. The previous owner didn't do anything to it (I was unaware of that) so I spent a lot of time and money getting it all done right. The car is midnight blue with gray leather. It has the 19" wheel package and is an SMG car. It is simply gorgeous.

This car came to me from Tennessee. Since I have owned it in Illinois this has been a SUMMER ONLY car for me. It is stored in my heated garage from October until April-May (depending on weather).

You might think that the mileage is high on this car and I would likely be inclined to agree with you. However, what you have to know is that you can buy one with less than 100k miles for more money and you will end up putting $8-9K in it. Most of these have a lot of deferred maintenance because anything that has an "M" in front of it is double the price for parts and labor.

EVERYTHING has been done on this car. Purchase price plus all the work I am in this car probably around $21,000. My loss is your gain. The ONLY reason I am selling this car is because I got a divorce, bought a house, and just got laid off so I need the money. However, I don't need it bad enough to let this car go for a dirt cheap low-ball price. 

My reserve is VERY low given the condition of this car and the work that has been done.

If you don't know what an M3 is, what SMG means, etc., you shouldn't be bidding on this car. Period.

Work completed on the car:
  • Brand new Kenwood DNX890HD eXcelon head unit with NAV, Satellite Radio, Bluetooth, etc.
  • Completely amazing custom audio system. Very well done by ABT.
  • New clutch
  • New rear springs
  • New front control arms
  • New HID headlights (the previous owner ruined them by putting "angel eyes" in them. They were damaged beyond repair)
  • Complete Inspection I and Inspection II services done
  • Oil changed every 3,000 miles
  • New tires all the way around
  • Alignment
  • Vanos repair
  • Valves adjusted and new gaskets
  • And much more (I don't have the receipts in front of me)

My loss is your gain.

I have receipts for ALL work done, both keys plus a valet key. If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

Thanks for looking!

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.

BMW Motorrad celebrates 90 years with new R nineT roadster [w/video]

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

90 years is a heck of a long time by any standard, and as good a cause for celebration as we've ever seen. That's how long BMW has been making motorcycles for, and it's celebrating with the retro cafe racer you see here - as promised and previewed.
Dubbed the R nineT (for 90 years), the latest product from BMW Motorrad traces its roots back to the original 1923 BMW R 32. And like the original, it's powered by a boxer twin - in this case, a 1,170cc air- and oil-cooled unit delivering 110 horsepower and 88 pound-feet of torque. All that muscle is packed into a classically-styled roadster that looks ready to line up next to a Moto Guzzi Griso, Triumph Thruxton or Ducati SportClassic.
The neo-retro styling drapes a unique tubular steel spaceframe chassis that uses the engine as a stressed member. The inverted telescopic front fork is borrowed from the S 1000 RR superbike and a paralever swingarm with spring strut suspends the rear. That's where you'll find a removable rear pillion for an extra passenger and dual tailpipes mounted on the left side, swappable for a titanium Akrapovic exhaust - just one of many customization options BMW Motorrad is offering for the R nineT.

BMW predicts US will be biggest i8 market

Sat, 10 Aug 2013

BMW will be showing a production version of its new i8 plug-in hybrid supercar at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, and while we're quite excited about seeing the company's second i product in the flesh. According to a new report from Automotive News Europe, BMW is expecting its largest markets to be the United States, United Kingdom and Germany. Notable for its absence in that list is everybody's favorite mega-market, China.
Automobilwoche, a German-language publication of Automotive News Europe, spoke with the i8's product manager, Hendrik Wenders, who declared, "The US will be by far the largest sales market for the i8." Wenders stops short of actual mentioning what percentage of i8 sales will be in the US, but does mention that it should arrive in showrooms around the world in about nine months. The simultaneous rollout will occur in 50 different countries.
Check back for our full coverage of the i8's debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. If you just can't wait until September, then check out our first drive of the i8 Prototype.
