I am moving out of state to the rainy Pacific North West, and am reluctantly selling my car.  I've had this car for a few years, and have put 40k miles on it since purchasing it, mostly highway, as my job took me from Dayton to Cincinnati, Columbus, Troy, etc. It has 137,xxx miles on it, but I do drive it when the roads are clear.  It is garaged, and I drive my 4wd when roads are bad.


The Good:  Hellrot (German for Bright Red) colour, 5 speed transmission.  water pump, radiator, hoses, overflow tank all replaced at 105,000 miles.  Converted to electric radiator fan.  Carbon Fiber intake from Turner MotorSports, K&N air filter, DINAN springs, sway bars, and strut tower bar, DINAN/Koni shocks/struts.  Heated leather seats.  3.0 liter M54 motor. Power roof, power windows. Good A/C.  Fast. Fun. Attracts attention. Always has run good for me.  Legendary BMW performance and quality.  Priced to sell, as I can't take it with me.

The Bad:  Fast, Attracts attention (just ask the highway patrol officer who pulled me over)! Driver's seat has a split right under the butt (separated about 3/8" - 1/2", across the center of the seating area). Non stock wing is mounted on trunk. Valve cover gasket needs replaced ($28 part, easy fix). Split in rear window right at the top (Windows zip in, cost about $80 on eBay). Wheels could use a re-paint, there is a small dent (does not penetrate the paint) by the fuel cap, and will need new rear tires soon ($130 each on TireRack.)  Car is priced accordingly.

Note: Over the summer the driver's seat was replaced with a Sparco seat, which I subsequently removed (not as comfy as I thought it would be).  The original driver's seat was carefully removed, stored, and put back in place after the Sparco was sold.  The Sparco seat is NOT included!

Buyer responsible for pick-up, or arrangement of shipping.  $500 non refundable deposit via paypal must be made within 48 hours of end of auction.  Car will not be released until any checks have completely cleared seller's bank. Any check must be a certified bank check from a major US bank (ie: Chase, PNC, 5th 3rd Bank, etc.).

You can buy Puma shoes inspired by BMW's fabric concept car

Tue, Jun 28 2016

Back in 2008, BMW revealed the GINA Light Visionary Model – a concept car covered in fabric instead of metal body panels, placing it somewhere in between the fields of automotive design and fashion. Now BMW's Designworks studio applied the same idea to a pair of Puma shoes. The partnership brings the idea full circle: the car imitated shoes and now the shoes imitate the car. The new Puma BMW X-Cat Disc sneakers are covered in a single, seamless piece of metallic fabric. Instead of laces, the shoes pack Puma's Disc system that uses hidden wires hooked up to a dial on the tongue for adjustment. As they were for designed for driving, the X-Cat features rolled heels for quick pedal work – just like the Speed Cat, Future Cat, and Drift Cat that Puma furnishes to the likes of BMW Motorsport, Red Bull Racing, and Scuderia Ferrari. The combination of BMW design, seamless fabric, and high-tech adjustment makes these look like the slickest pair of kicks we've seen since Pininfarina designed sneakers for Fila. (And hopefully more durable. This writer had a pair of those that fell apart rather quickly.) The finished product ought to give the Adidas line by Porsche Design a run for its money when it launches in stores and online at Puma starting this Friday, July 1. Related Video:

BMW raises pricing on many models

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Buyers interested in a new BMW will start paying a bit more for their Ultimate Driving Machines, beginning yesterday. The Munich, Germany-based manufacturer has announced price hikes across nearly its entire range, covering model years 2013 and 2014, that will sting higher-end customers in particular.
Price increases are enough to get any consumer riled up, but the incremental nature of BMW's increase makes it a bit easier to swallow. All 1 Series and remaining 3 Series Convertibles (including the M3 Convertible) will see a $300 increase in price. All current-generation F30 3 Series, 5 Series GT and X3 crossovers will get their price bumped by $200. $500 increases are coming for the 6 Series range (not including the M6), while the diminutive X1 gets just a $100 increase.
Cars on the losing end of the price hikes include the newest M cars, the M5 and M6 Coupe, Convertible and Gran Coupe, which are being bumped $2,000. BMW is adding $1,000 to the sticker of all Z4s and the entire X6 range, including the X6M.
