Here it is folks. This is the one you've been waiting for. I have put over $8000 in this car in the past 19 months bringing it up to snuff. The previous owner didn't do anything to it (I was unaware of that) so I spent a lot of time and money getting it all done right. The car is midnight blue with gray leather. It has the 19" wheel package and is an SMG car. It is simply gorgeous.

This car came to me from Tennessee. Since I have owned it in Illinois this has been a SUMMER ONLY car for me. It is stored in my heated garage from October until April-May (depending on weather).

You might think that the mileage is high on this car and I would likely be inclined to agree with you. However, what you have to know is that you can buy one with less than 100k miles for more money and you will end up putting $8-9K in it. Most of these have a lot of deferred maintenance because anything that has an "M" in front of it is double the price for parts and labor.

EVERYTHING has been done on this car. Purchase price plus all the work I am in this car probably around $21,000. My loss is your gain. The ONLY reason I am selling this car is because I got a divorce, bought a house, and just got laid off so I need the money. However, I don't need it bad enough to let this car go for a dirt cheap low-ball price. 

My reserve is VERY low given the condition of this car and the work that has been done.

If you don't know what an M3 is, what SMG means, etc., you shouldn't be bidding on this car. Period.

Work completed on the car:
  • Brand new Kenwood DNX890HD eXcelon head unit with NAV, Satellite Radio, Bluetooth, etc.
  • Completely amazing custom audio system. Very well done by ABT.
  • New clutch
  • New rear springs
  • New front control arms
  • New HID headlights (the previous owner ruined them by putting "angel eyes" in them. They were damaged beyond repair)
  • Complete Inspection I and Inspection II services done
  • Oil changed every 3,000 miles
  • New tires all the way around
  • Alignment
  • Vanos repair
  • Valves adjusted and new gaskets
  • And much more (I don't have the receipts in front of me)

My loss is your gain.

I have receipts for ALL work done, both keys plus a valet key. If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

Thanks for looking!

BMW shows up-armored X5 concept and we can't get near it

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

BMW has brought a slightly different concept vehicle to the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Rather than something that foreshadows a future product or a new design direction, the Munich-based manufacturer has brought an X5 that's designed to be shot at. It's called the Concept X5 Security Plus. The Concept X5 name is a bit misleading, though. It's based on the 2014 X5, while BMW already builds an armored CUV, called the X5 Security. The concept tag has to do with the "Security Plus" part.
Engineered to be compliant with VR6 security standards - the current X5 Security is for VR4 standards - the Concept X5 will quite happily shrug off direct attacks from an AK-47. Thanks to sealed joints, high-strength steel moldings, high-performance steel body panels and special, polycarbonate-coated security glass, Kalashnikov's finest, whether used as a firearm or as a melee weapon, would be useless against this X5.
Built alongside the standard X5 in BMW's Spartanburg, SC factory, the X5 is shipped to a BMW facility in Toluca, Mexico for installation of the armor and security features. The company claims this delivers a more thoroughly engineered protective solution than aftermarket retrofitting.

Police arrest 'Fastest Lap Around Manhattan' driver [w/video]

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Don't speed. Don't drive recklessly. Don't try to break the unofficial record for a lap of Manhattan. And if you go against this reasonable advice, do not, under any circumstances, record it and post the video on YouTube. If you do, you'll end up like Christopher Adam Tang - under arrest and facing a bevy of charges relating to the video.
Tang posted the video, which showed him lapping Manhattan in 24 minutes last Wednesday, and it quickly went viral. Now Tang, who went by the online moniker AfroDuck, is in cuffs. According to a local CBS affiliate, he was picked up at his home on Wednesday evening by police, who also seized the car used in the video, a 2006 BMW Z4.
What isn't clear is how Tang was caught. His video seems carefully done in that there are no outwardly visible signs that point to him, while the video itself is clearly sped up. While the NYPD hasn't come out and said that Tang was caught due to its extensive surveillance systems around the city, police commissioner Ray Kelly did point out that the new systems "will assist in this type of investigation." Let that serve as a warning to anyone that tries to break the 24-minute barrier. Scroll down to watch the full video.

In-demand BMW i8 deliveries start in June, and it's more efficient than we thought

Thu, Mar 13 2014

Memo to Elon Musk: objects in the rear-view mirror may be closer than they appear. In this case, it's a couple of plug-in BMWs. And they represent the closest thing to a true competitor for Musk and the Tesla Motors electric vehicles. The German automaker re-confirmed that demand for its upcoming i8 plug-in hybrid will exceed the initial supply batch, though BMW didn't release any specific numbers, Reuters says. BMW will start production next month with deliveries commencing in June for the 362-horsepower i8. The news is consistent with a November estimate from BMW that indicated that the first year of i8s were essentially spoken for in advance. We learned in late January that the number of i3 battery-electric vehicles imported to the US won't meet demand during that vehicle's first year of sales either. Here's the thing: all these people were interested in the i8 when BMW said the car got the equivalent of 94 miles per gallon. Turns out, those calculations were a bit off. Reuters also notes that the new numbers show the i8 gets 112 MPGe. That's on the lenient European cycle, but if anyone was holding out for an i8 with triple-figure fuel economy, your time (to get on the waiting list) has come.Motley Fool proposed late last month that BMW is positioned to be Tesla's only real competition when it comes to high-performance plug-in vehicles. The reasoning was that the BMW plug-ins, like the Teslas, are being built from scratch and don't just have EV powertrains dropped into existing vehicle platforms. Whether or not the competition is truly a two-team race is something we're not sure is completely decided yet, but we know it'll be fun to watch unfold either way. Want proof?
