This car is a collector's BMW. The first owner being a businessman, the second owner a BMW collector, and me being a BMW enthusiast. Maintained perfectly, except for the rust in all the doors, and both front fenders. Engine has 153k miles, but on a recent dyno, shows it as having 181 hp, 5 less than stock, which is awesome for a 27 year old car. The interior is perfect, as the front seat were swapped by the previous owner. No tearing, and the 2-tone cardinal red and black looks great with the white car. Dash has a one-inch crack near the windsheild, which is unnoticeable. Tire tread is at about 50%, and it comes with a fifth borbet wheel as a spare under the trunk. Sound system has the stock 4 surround sound, and all speakers function, including tweeters, and it has an aftermarket radio with audio input. AC has a slow leak, and I can include a recharge with the car, but it will likely only last the summer, unless the leak is fixed. Both front seats are electric powered, but the passenger seat won't go forward or backward, needs to be taken apart, probably a jam or switch. The suspension makes some knocking noises, and I haven't been able to find the source, but since its all stock, it could use new rubber shock mounts. Computer system works, and it does not flash any check-engine lights. The car has a fuel issue about once a month, where it won't start for a minute or two, and you have to keep cranking the engine.After replacing the distributor rotor, and sparkplugs, and testing the fuel relay, I've determined the problem to be something in the fuel line, probably the filter. Engine oil and transmission fluid was changed last month, and new battery installed about 2 months ago. Car drives great, and feels great too. Like I said, the only real issue is the rust in the doors, which is why I'm putting a low reserve on this car. I would put the effort into fixing this car myself, because I was planning a future turbo setup with an m106 manifold, but I with school and work, I don't have the time to put into this car. So my loss is your gain. Email me for more pictures or info. I would prefer local pickup, or if you're in the state, we can meet halfway. No returns or refunds.

However, I would recommend a new driveshaft in the near future, as the current driveshaft "flutters" under hard acceleration in second gear. Has no effect on daily driving.

What's up with this thought-controlled BMW i3?
Tue, Jul 28 2015Autonomous driving? A car being controlled by just verbal commands? One pilot program is going way beyond that this year with a car that can theoretically be mind-controlled. UK-based insurance-services company MoneySuperMarket is promoting something called "Epic Mind Drive." The project involves a BMW i3 electric vehicle (nice and futuristic) being rigged up with an autonomous driving system. Only instead of the system watching the road, it involves a person sitting in a seat outside of the car with an electroencephalography (EEG) neuro headset connected to the vehicle. In fact, that headset records brain activity and translates it into instructions. Those instructions are converted to radio frequency that's sent to the car to instruct it to perform various speed and turning duties. Apparently, yes, the car will be mind-controlled. Somehow. If this were intended for real-world use, it would go far beyond the autonomous-driving programs that have been in the works for the past couple of years. Nissan has been real active in that area, with chief Carlos Ghosn saying earlier this year that a "hands-free" car for heavy stop-and-go traffic may be available within the next couple of years. And last year, Google unveiled its autonomous car prototype (though it wasn't nearly as cool-looking as the Bimmer i3) while Tesla Motors has been making noise in that area as well. Besides the i3, MoneySuperMarket has developed the Epic Mind Drive mobile game that uses face-tracking technology to control a car on the screen. The idea with these two whiz-bang ideas is to get drivers to realize that they should think as they drive, it seems. As for the telepathic i3, we're as interested in details as the next website, so we checked out the two videos that are supposed to hype the project. While there is some groovy jazzy-electro music involved, the details of how this works are pretty much nonexistent (16 sensors, think to turn the wheel, and that's about it), so we look forward to hearing more about the project once it's underway. You can check out the videos above and below. News Source: Daily Mail, MoneySuperMarket Green BMW mind control
BMW teases 2 Series Coupe ahead of October 25 debut
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Although it was finally just confirmed that the last of the BMW 1 Series coupes and convertibles went out of production months ago, we won't have to wait very long to see this model's replacement, the all-new 2 Series. BMW released a teaser video for its new coupe today and also announced that the 2 Series will officially debut on October 25.
We may still have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to see it up close and in person, even though both the Los Angeles Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show are nearly upon us. Either way, it's not clear when the 2 Series will roll into dealerships. Considering we've already seen the coupe sitting out mostly undisguised for a photo shoot, there really isn't much to see in terms of styling of the car in this sun-drenched, dirt-slinging teaser. BMW does say that this is the first trailer ahead of the 2 Series' unveiling, so there are likely to be more to follow the video seen below.
BMW recalling a grand total of three X3s over instrument panel defect
Wed, 18 Dec 2013We've seen big recalls and we've seen small ones. Some involve millions of vehicles, and some - like the Infiniti Q50 recall on which we reported just the other day - involve just a couple dozen. But this has to be the smallest recall we've seen yet.
"Due to a production process error" in the BMW X3, states the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice below, "the team seam on the instrument panel was not manufactured correctly." Big friggin' whoop, you say? Well, NHTSA points out that it could hinder the deployment of the airbag and send fractures flying everywhere.
The problem was discovered in a select few examples of the 2013 BMW X3 - both xDrive 28i and 35i models - manufactured in the later part of February this year. And by "select few," we literally mean a few - as in three. Three examples are being recalled. If you happen to be one of those three owners, expect to hear from your local dealership.
