2009 BMW 135i Coupe(300hp) with a 6 speed manual transmission finished in Monaco Blue Metallic with a Taupe Boston Leather interior. Vehicle was special ordered from the factory in February 2009 and was delivered in May 2009 to be my daily driver. I was so pleased with its performance that I decided to make a couple of upgrades and try it out at the track for High Performance Drivers Education(HPDE) events with the BMW CCA and SCCA. The car was fitted with a Dinan Stage 3 Suspension Package (Shocks, Struts, Springs, Front and Rear Sway Bars, and Camber Plates) on July 5, 2010 by AtSpeed Motorsports in Hanover, Maryland. At that time a Dinan High Performance Oil Cooler was also installed for a total of $7,169.23 in Dinan parts and labor. I took the car to Virginia International Raceway (VIR) for one event with the Tarheel Chapter of the BMW CCA in October of 2011 where it performed extremely well. The vehicle has been cared for by AtSpeed Motorsports in Hanover, Maryland and at Russel BMW in Baltimore, Maryland. It is comfortable, quick, nimble and fun to drive on the street or the track. Due to my limited garage space and time, my father is housing the vehicle in South Carolina, and has listed it on my behalf. I will be fielding all questions and inquiries on the vehicle, and he will facilitate any local showings of the car. The packages and features on the car are as follows: Cold Weather Package - Ski Bag - Heated Front Seats Premium Package - Universal Garage Door Opener - Digital Compass Mirror - Auto-dimming mirror - Auto-dimming rearview mirror - Power Front Seats - Lumbar Support - BMW Assist Sport Package - Sport seats - M steering wheel - Shadowline trim Multi-function steering wheel Gray Poplar wood trim Moonroof Retractable headlight washers Rain sensor and auto headlights Xenon headlights Adaptive light control Automatic Air Conditioning Cruise Control iPod and USB adaptor w/cord Dinan Upgrades: D570-0820 Dinan Oil Cooler D140-0946 Koni/Dinan Adjustable Rear Shocks D140-0943 Koni/Dinan Left Strut D140-0943 Koni/Dinan Right Strut D120-05040 Dinan Front Sway Bar 26.5mm D120-0507 Dinan Rear Sway Bar 15.8mm D160-0004 Camber Plate Kit D100-0900 Dinan Performance Spring Set The car has a valid Tire and Wheel Protection Package, purchased through the BMW Dealer, which provides coverage through February 25, 2015 and will transfer with the vehicle.

2015 BMW i8 [w/video]
Mon, 28 Apr 2014The most important thing to keep in mind while driving BMW's all-new i8 is that it's not a product of the company's vaunted M division.
Sleek sports-coupe design, carbon-fiber construction and blistering acceleration may cause automotive enthusiasts to drool, but the i8 has not been conceptualized, engineered or assembled to be another one of BMW's world-class track stars. Instead, the i8 has been hatched as a progressive sports car from the Bavarian outfit's new i division, which "represents visionary electric vehicles and mobility services, inspiring design and a new understanding of premium that is strongly defined by sustainability." Think of it as thrilling, but with an engaging environmental twist.
It's nearly impossible to walk up to the i8 with stopping twenty feet short and taking in its styling. There's no other production car as visually fascinating - this BMW is showroom-ready sculpture that captures all of the essence of the Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept that wowed crowds at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The wind sees it as a 0.26 drag coefficient, but humans will study its beautifully crafted carbon fiber and glass panels and realize they're in the presence of the future.
Fore! Pro golfers race BMW i8 against a golf cart
Sat, Jun 28 2014You wouldn't think a couple of pro golfers racing a golf cart along a nice green course would get the blood pumping. But throw in a BMW i8 plug-in hybrid and things get at least a little more interesting. At least, that's what the German automaker is hoping for. Bimmer is swinging big with a cross-promotional video featuring two pairs of golfers racing plug-in vehicles at the 2014 BMW International Open golf tournament in Koln, Germany. Two of the golfers take your run-of-the-mill golf cart while the other two take a slightly more powerful BMW i8, with the goal to get to the course's "halfway house" first. The race, among other things, sends jackrabbits scurrying and shows off the i8's really cool doors and racy styling. The odd part – "spoiler" alert – is that the golf cart wins the race by taking a short cut through the course despite the fact that the i8 pairs a 231-horsepower turbocharged engine with a 131-horsepower electric motor. It's probably not exactly the message of high-speed performance BMW wants to convey but it would raise eyebrows if this weren't all a silly stunt. Check out the three-minute video below and then read our i8 First Drive impressions here.
Tesla exec calls rival EVs 'little more than appliances'
Wed, Aug 3 2016Tesla's Vice President of Business Development Diarmuid O'Connell called the company's competition "little more than appliances" at the Center for Automotive Research's Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI yesterday. "In essence, [mainstream automakers] delivered little more than appliances," O' Connell said. "Now, appliances are useful. But they tend to be white. They tend to be unemotional." According to Automotive News, O'Connell's main critique is that vehicles like the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3 don't deliver enough performance or range to draw the attention of consumers outside of a small group. The solution, in O'Connell's mind, is more power, more range, more excitement and a lower price – that last point is particularly rich coming from an automaker whose cheapest current offering, the Model S 60, costs $66,000 – although the cheaper Model 3 is on the horizon, way out there, somewhere. But some EVs are better than none, O'Connell added. "On balance, I'm happier that [traditional automakers are] doing these cars than not," O'Connell said. "I just wish they would do them better and faster." O'Connell also used his appearance at the Management Briefing Seminars to launch a volley at the Michigan legislature, blaming its opposition to Tesla's direct-sales model for the lack of available EVs in the Wolverine State. "I think if the Michigan Legislature would allow Tesla to sell cars in Michigan, we could probably address [the lack of available electric cars]," O'Connell said. Related Video:
