Overall the car is pretty clean. There's a few scratches on the paint all around, and rock chips on the bumper, definitely need a nice wax/polish/claybar treatment.

Interior is clean too, driver side door arm rest is worn and passenger side a pillar at the bottom starting to wrinkle a little, but nothing torn.

I bought this car here in Houston from the 3rd owner, iirc on carfax it only lists 2 owners before me. (I have the carfax pdf I can email)

But PO used to travel a lot and put highway miles on the car, and sold it to me cause he was moving to Canada.

My plan was to prep this car to compete in NASA Time Trials (TTB), and may have over extended myself on this project….considering a few options now.

To be competitive in TTB, car will need a few more parts to maximize points and I have the breakdown of what can be added, depending on your driving style.

I can of course add/subtract any mods from the list….except the engine work.

The rod bearing upgrade was done as preventive maintenance, as I knew I would be tracking a lot.

I've only done 1 track day with the car, car has a lot of top end power, pulls strong till 8000 rpms, suspension will need fine tuning, I'm going to add more negative camber up front to see if the midturn/exit understeer goes away.

Everything works on the car…there's a few rattles here and there with such a stiff suspension.

Car was recently aligned and corner balanced - car weighs 3362lbs with half tank gas, front/rear balance 50/50, cross balance 49.9/50.1.

Most of the main work (engine and reinforcements) were done at Greg Smith Racing @ Dallas, TX.

All parts installed above are brand new - except for the kidney/side grille. There are other small parts replaced too like screws/clips/clamps etc.

Wunderlich creates two-wheel-drive hybrid BMW motorcycle

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Two wheel-drive motorcycles aren\\\\\\'t new, but more mainstream and niche companies are now dabbling in the technology. German aftermarket shop Wunderlich is the latest, creating the two-wheel drive BMW R1200GS LC by placing a 7.6-kilowatt hub motor on the front wheel. Wunderlich worked with Italian company Evolt on the innovation, good for 12 miles per hour by itself without the help of the boxer-powered rear wheel. Regenerative braking energy is stored in a small battery pack under the motorcycle\\\\\\'s front beak. Powered action works in forward, as well as in reverse up to three miles per hour. The rider is able to choose direction with a toggle switch in the cockpit. Wunderlich hasn\\\\\\'t said yet how power to the front wheel is controlled or if it is simply always fully on or off. It weighs 525 pounds, and has an allowable payload of another 467 pounds. Powering the front wheel, even with just 7.6 kW, would help move all that weight around in good conditions and could be a godsend in tough stuff out on the trail. Wunderlich showed off its creation at this year\\\\\\'s EICMA motorcycle show in Italy, we have a feeling some BMW owners will be waiting for word on production possibilities once the show is over.

Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head

Fri, Sep 4 2015

Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.

The List: The Red BMW - A Retrospective

Mon, 23 Dec 2013

We can't help but use this time of year to look back at the days before and reminisce about friends who are no longer in our lives. For The List, Jessi and Patrick were often joined by a little, red BMW 3 Series that, at times, felt like a third host of the show. Having been bought used for just a thousand bucks, the red BMW proved to be surprisingly durable. Through jumps, dunks and monster trucks, it remained our little trooper 'till the very end, and on the way taught us all how important a faithful four-wheeled companion is to the life's work of completing one's automotive bucket list.
For our last episode of The List in 2013, we give you The Red BMW - A Retrospective.
