Up for bids is a pretty rare color combo, I have been told for M3 Convertibles; bought it from a guy that was strapped for cash; this was his baby and after looking at all the high def pics that I have put up for your viewing it appears that it very well was. As far as service, I know that he had most all of his work done at BMW in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, Orr BMW in Shreveport, LA or at Hixon BMW in Monroe, La. (pics of some of the serviced tickets provided.), LA. When I took possession of this car it was in need of some maintenance issues and I have taken care of all of them. The oil change was done with that expensive Castrol 10-90 and there is about 13k left before it will need it again; the tires on the rear of these cars, I am told, wear out first and I have put new Bridgestone Potenzas on the back; the front ones are Yokahama and the dealer said that they had about 5k more left before replacement; (he said about Christmas time.) The brakes were in need of replacement and I have replaced the front pads and rotors; the rear pads were replaced last year and had well over 3/4 life left in them; the rear rotors, which function as only assistance with braking were inspected by the mechanic and are in very good shape. On the history of this vehicle, he bought it at 31k and drove it the balance of the 69k. 80% of the miles are road miles on I-20 and I-10; I knew that this car was pristine when I bought it due to his attention to maintaining it, caring for the finish and treating the leather. (he said that he used Surf City Garage leather conditioner every 2-3 weeks.). This vehicle may have a warranty in place due to a recall situation thru BMW; that is something that I have been informed of but have no time to research. As far as I am concerned it is sold as is by me. I have not driven this vehicle extensively but I cannot tell you how well that this car handles and performs. It will set you back in the seat on acceleration and stop on a dime and hand you 9 cents back in change. The ride is not smooth but I was told that this is the norm for these vehicles. It is a 6-speed car and not that SMG type that has been giving all the trouble that I have read about. It shifts perfectly and seamlessly and the clutch engages well; a testament to highway driving I guess. There are no service or warning lights on the dash and it has fewer than average front facia road debris chips. The paint, as you can see is a very high gloss finish and it has a set of high end Lorenzo rims that he had a custom paint job done to match the car. This car is a real performer and head turner. I have taken a pic of the new brakes before and after install but none of the rear ones. In the way of add-ons, there are BMW M style pedals installed on the brake, clutch and footrest he put in new BMW M3 floormats and it does have a BMW trunk mat and there are BMW rubber mats with the car for the front only;. It has a high end Alpine stereo along with a Sirrius receiver that has been inactivated; there is an I-Pod cable in the glove box and he had MB Quart speakers put in the doors; I am not a stereo guy but they sound awesome. I may be able to get my hands on the factory one but am unsure if it is in working order; I understand that the Alpine unit is head and shoulders above the BMW one. All interior accessories are in working order and the interior is beautiful with no wear spots or stains; there is some wear on the bolster where you get in and out but I am told this is normal; I did try the sport button,and it turns this car into a rocket; I just can't describe it and you would have to drive it to appreciate it. It comes with a full set of BMW trunk tools, and extra key but I could not locate the service manuals. They are available on E-Bay for about 60.00 if you want them. If you want a well serviced rocket to drive that will turn heads at every corner, this is it; I have a friend of mine that checked the wholesale auction scene on these cars and they are going under the hammer for 13 to 14k wholesale. All I can tell you is bid according to the condition and the info I have provided you. Ask questions if genuinely interested; I am on the road a lot and will try to answer them as best as I can or attempt to find out from the previous owner. Thanks for looking and let the bidding start.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut

Tue, Oct 21 2014

The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US Â– with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) Â– Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the YearÂ® program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the YearÂ® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the YearÂ® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.

Company car offers in decline, but not at The Cheesecake Factory [w/poll]

Sat, 22 Jun 2013

As businesses look to keep high-level employees happy, it seems that use of company cars can still be an effective method, although fewer companies are employing it. According to Businessweek, only about 25 percent of companies offer company vehicles as a perk, while less than half give allowances for employees to use their personal vehicles for work purposes.
The report says that one business still in the practice of handing out company cars is The Cheesecake Factory, which offers the benefit to top managers. And we're not talking about some econobox, either. The article indicates the restaurant chain hands out BMWs on a three-year basis - although the company's own report says that the type of vehicle "varies with the executive's level."
Still, we mostly agree with the article's conclusion that money is the best way to keep employees or attract new ones, even if a corporate car is a big perk. What do you think? Let us know, in the poll below, whether a company car could sway you to work for a certain company (not just the Cheesecake factory, where the "Glamburgers" portion of the menu alone is enough to keep a guy hanging around).
