Bmw Other 3.0cs on 2040-cars
Gardena, California, United States
I've enjoyed driving this clean and gorgeous silver classic beauty in Southern California for the last 20 years. According to the mechanic who sold her and restored her for me, she was in Berkeley, CA before that. So, given how little rust there is, I am pretty sure that this is a "California" car. I've only taken her out occasionally for pleasure and had kept her tucked away under cover most of the time. I am only selling because I am moving back to Hawaii where it'll be difficult to find someone qualified to look after her. The body and the undercarriage is clean and solid; the paint is beautiful without any bubbles or pits. I've proudly received countless complements from passersby. She's a pleasure to drive and has plenty of pep. Engine starts up quickly and easily. Here are some of the repairs/restorations done within the last few years... - Installation/replacement of a newly rebuilt steering box, power steering pump, various steering components & the front-end suspension - Replaced master brake cylinder - Installed a "new" dashboard with no chips or cracks - Replaced the water pump and radiator- Minor rust remedial and paint work.- Installed a new ignition system I am not a car collector nor a car buff so there are a few minor flaws on the car that have not bothered me enough to fix but you should know exist... - Minor rust spots where the trunk lid meets the body. - Driver-side power window motor was deactivated and has been replaced with a hand crank.- Driver-side window has some scratches. - Driver-side door has one light paint scratch which I think could be buffed out. - Shifter boot is worn out at the base. - Clock does not work. - Seats have good upholstery but the driver side cushion is getting a bit thin from usage. - Air Conditioning system is deactivated. I didn't want to spend the money to find out what is the problem on something I rarely use.- Missing tool kit. - Headliner looks worn and may need some work. - Wood trims on both doors have some chips and cracks on the ends. I can send you photos of the items above and any other features if you'd like to examine them in details. You will be purchasing this car as is and without any warranty/guarantee from me. I am available to show you the car at pretty much any decent hours. I am located in downtown LA. Please email me with your telephone number if you'd like to speak to me directly. I require a non-refundable $2,000 deposit via Paypal or bank wire transfer. Balance must be paid with a bank wire-transfer within 7 days of auction close.Buyer is responsible for all applicable fees, taxes, custom duties and shipping costs.Please consider your fringe costs before bidding. Please do not bother asking me to misstate the purchase price on the registration paperwork. It will be cause for termination of the sale and I will keep your deposit. Thank you for your interest. Good luck on your bidding. ALOHA!

Reverse-engineering i3 shows BMW profits after 20,000 sales
Tue, Jan 6 2015"This is, without a question of a doubt, the most advanced vehicle on the planet. It's as revolutionary as the Model T was when it came out." That is exceptionally high praise, and it's not even being heaped on one of the million-dollar hybrid hypercars from Ferrari or McLaren. It's not even being attributed to a particularly zealous Tesla fan. Nope, it's coming from a mustachioed man in suburban Detroit, and he's discussing a $42,400 BMW hatchback with Forbes. Of course, said hatchback is the revolutionary i3, and Sandy Munro's statements carry some degree of authority, as his company is tearing apart and analyzing every little nut, washer and bolt on the four-seat EV. Munro's eponymous company performs reverse-engineering analysis, meaning they rip apart brand new cars and sell the information to the world's automakers, saving OEM's both time and money. The most interesting thing it has discovered thus far? That even with the high costs of two of the i3's most important elements – carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic and lithium-ion batteries – his company's analysis shows that BMW need only sell about 20,000 units a year to turn a profit, Forbes reports. While Munro's company is often contracted by automakers, he's gone it alone on the i3 project, dropping about $1 million into in-depth analysis. That's a lot of money, but the company should be able to turn around and sell its findings for about $500,000, with a batch of Chinese automakers already queued up and ready to buy. Analysis of individual i3 components will also be available from a sort of a la carte menu. To see what it is about the i3 that has Munro speaking so highly of it, head over to the Forbes website and check out the feature article and video on the reverse-engineering process.

BMW Motorrad showcases Konzept eRR electric sport bike
Thu, Nov 12 2015At one end of the BMW spectrum are its electric vehicles like the i3 and i8. At the other, the motorcycles from BMW Motorrad. Now the Bavarian manufacturer is bringing those two areas of competence together in one vehicle. And it only has two weels. It's called the eRR, and it's an experimental electric motorcycle created in conjunction with the Technical University of Munich. It's based on the frame of the S 1000 RR sport bike, but ditches the 199-horsepower four-cylinder liter engine for an all-electric powertrain. Unfortunately, the company has yet to release any technical details, but promises it will do so at a later date. It's not the first time BMW Motorrad has tinkered with electric power. We've already seen the C Evolution electric scooter. But this is the first time it has packaged an electric motor into a sport bike this aggressive. If BMW were actually to build this thing, the eRR could prove a suitable foil to the Brammo/Victory Empulse, not to mention any other electric motorcycle that may find its way onto market in the coming years. BMW Motorrad presents the experimental vehicle eRR. Supersport dynamism and zero emission thanks to electric power. Munich. BMW Motorrad has a long tradition in pointing out new ways and thoughts for the topic „mobility on two wheels". For that, again and again many studies were presented in the past giving views to the future. The experimental vehicle eRR, created as a project with the Technical University of Munich, embodies an idea of an electric powered supersport motorcycle made by BMW Motorrad. Already a couple of years ago, BMW i showed the BMW Group's visionary and sustainable approach with the vehicles BMW i3 and i8 and their revolutionary design principles (aluminum chassis and passenger cabin made from carbon fibre) and BMW Motorrad's C evolution proved, that zero emission, riding fun and practicability do not exclude themselves. With presenting the experimental vehicle eRR BMW Motorrad goes one step forward and shows the possibilities of an all-electric drive in a supersport motorcycle. Regarding design and chassis technology the eRR leans on the supersport motorcycle S 1000 RR, however using an all-electric drive. Stephan Schaller, Head of BMW Motorrad, emphasizes: „Since their market launch, the RR is giving the creeps to motorsport athletes. If acceleration, handling or topspeed – the RR is setting standards.
BMW NA president says i3 beats Tesla EVs thanks to lighter all-around footprint
Wed, Jan 29 2014Those waiting for a full-out brawl between Tesla Motors head Elon Musk and BMW North America chief Ludwig Willisch will have to wait a bit. For the bloodthirsty, there are signs of some healthy competition and a little bit of green-car sniping between the two automakers. Willisch, speaking at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month and responding to questions about Tesla, noted (without mentioning that company by name) that the production process of the German automaker's i3 plug-in was "greener" than any other. According to Business Insider, Willisch highlighted the fully recyclable materials used to construct the i3 as well as the hydropower used at the carbon fiber plant in Moses Lake, WA. Willisch also noted that the Tesla Model S is "very heavy on the braking. Our car feels just like a normal car. That's a big difference when it comes to driving," Automotive News said in a separate report. The latter model weighs about a third less than the Tesla, though it also has an EV range about a third as big. The BMW executive did allow that the Tesla did make a good proverbial "snowplow," not for its driving characteristics but for its ability to get more people conformable with electric vehicle technology. Musk was asked about the i3 in an August conference call and laughed before noting that the i3 had "room to improve." No word on whether Musk and Willisch will be sending each other Valentine's Day cards next month.
