If you have any questions please email at: gilbertegsstudier@chelseafans.net . I'm sure I'll regret doing this at some point, but the time has come to sell this awesome piece of engineering and
machinery. The car has performed flawlessly and without any major issue for the last year I've owned it. The car
walks a very fine line between "streetable" and "racecar", but is executed perfectly, in my opinion. The Recaro
Pole Position Seats are amazingly comfortable. At TX2k this year I drove back and forth from DT Houston to Royal
Purple Raceway (across Houston) and every person that road with me commented on how comfortable they are. The car
has been to 2 events in the last year that I've owned it and 1 event earlier in 2014 with the previous owner. Each
time it has performed flawlessly and made back to back to back passes. I honestly wouldn't hesitate to drive this
car cross-country, as long as there was plenty of E-85 along the way. With that being said the car is Flex Fuel and
is currently tuned for 91 and any ethanol blend (AEM Infinity adjusts parameters based on ethanol content with
strategies similar to what an OEM vehicle would use). There are 4 boost settings, which are controlled via the
cruise control buttons on the steering wheel and displayed on the tachometer accordingly (ie. 1k RPM = Boost
Setting 1, 2k RPM = Boost Setting 2, 3k RPM = Boost Setting 3, etc.). Two-Step/Antilag are also controlled through
the steering wheel on the On/Off Switch for cruise control. The cruise set button modulates the Traction Control
for the AEM Infinity. OEM Traction Control is retained to the best of my knowledge. This car has so many trick
features on it and gets compliments everywhere I take it. It is insanely fast for a BMW, or for any car for that
matter. Was the previous record holder for the fastest 1/4 mile time and speed.
I am selling the car simply because I don't get to use it often enough. The roads where I lived are incredibly
rough and I typically only drive the car when trailered to somewhere else for an event. Would really like to sell
it to someone who is a BMW enthusiast and will keep this car in the amazing condition it is in. The asking price is
OBO and is based on multiple factors including the work, effort and craftsmanship that went into building this car
as well as its condition. I do not want to trade for any other vehicles, property, or anything that isn't
deposit-able into a checking account.

Apple Watch watches your BMW i3, i8

Wed, Sep 10 2014

Apple unveiled details about its long-awaited Apple Watch yesterday and we now know that the $349, er, watch will be released to the public early next year. Amid the millions of features the watch has is the ability to provide real-time information on the battery charge level in a BMW i3 or i8 plug-in vehicle. The watches can also help locate the vehicles if, say, they're parked in a crowded lot. Because so many of us lose our Bimmers on a daily basis. BMW spokesman Dave Buchko confirmed the integration of the Bimmer-centric features on Apple Watch to AutoblogGreen, and noted that the product will let users monitor heating and air-conditioning as well as remotely unlocking the car. "This latest device has the potential to change how owners interact with their BMW, paving the way for a new level of personalization and immediacy," Buchko said. The new wrist-based connection allows for a nice bit of exposure for the German company's new i series. As of the end of last month, BMW had sold 2,082 i3 battery-electric vehicles in the US since starting domestic sales in May. It also sold nine of i8 plug-in hybrids in August, the first partial month for US sales.

The 2016 BMW M2 is a steroid-addled M235i [UPDATE]

Wed, Oct 14 2015

UPDATE: As it turns out, BMW mixed up the weight specs in the official press materials. We spoke to BMW for confirmation, and the manual M2 weighs 3,450 pounds, the DCT car weighs 3,505. We've updated the text to reflect this. If you're looking for a featherweight M235i, you'll be disappointed. The extra power and goodies are offset by negligible weight savings. When we first got behind the wheel of the M235i early last year, BMW was quick to point out the spiritual link between the small quasi-M car and its ancestors, the 2002 Turbo and the E30 M3, but we couldn't help but think fondly of the more potent 1M Coupe. And while the M235i got a lot of things right, its weight and price took some of the shine off it. But more importantly, the intangibles that those older BMWs nailed was somewhat lacking in the M235i – while fun, it was somewhat distant, unlike the visceral 1M. Until we drive the 2016 BMW M2, those intangibles will remain intangible. But on paper, the M2 looks to be a super-M235i, buffed up with M goodies like an active rear differential and lightened suspension components. But if you're looking for a featherweight M235i, you'll be disappointed. The extra power and goodies are offset by negligible weight savings. With the manual it weighs 3,450 pounds, an 85-pound reduction. With the DCT, it's a wash at 3,505 pounds. At least the M2 looks like a proper M car. The side bodywork swells 2.1 inches up front and 3.1 inches in the rear to accommodate wide 19-inch forged wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The front end takes the M235i theme (itself an adrenaline-injected version of lesser 2 Series cars) and adds steroidal menace, with the expected larger intakes to feed the extra engine radiator. Out back, there's a diffuser in the rear tray that the M235i lacks, and the scallops that incorporate the taillights plainly telegraph the extra rear width. It's the M4's handsome younger sibling. Like the M235i to which its clearly related, the heart of the M2 is a 3.0-liter inline-six that inhales through a TwinScroll exhaust manifold-integrated turbocharger. High-precision direct injection, Double-VANOS, and Valvetronic are all present and accounted for, with some M goodies like pistons and crank bearings trickling down from the M3 and M4. The result is 365 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 343 pound-feet of torque available from as low as 1,400 rpm.
