 I have LOTS more pictures, but I can only post 4 for free, and if I post a bunch and it doesn't sell . . I've just wasted more money.  I am happy to send all 30 or so I have tho!

This beautiful car has just under 103,000 miles on it, which is low considering how durable and long lasting these cars are!  My Volvo is 13 yrs old and has over 253,000 miles on it!  It is a  speed automatic, AWD, 4.4 L, V8, 32V Valvetronic.  It is black exterior with roof rack. I have the Car Fax for it and it’s been well maintained, having regular oil changes and inspections.  Never been wrecked. It includes the extended warranty that covers an additional 100k miles or 5 years - will expire May 2019 or 202,780 miles, whichever comes first. 

Its features include

A huge panoramic sun roof, which is one of my favorite things about it. 

Self-leveling rear axle w air springs

Traction control

Four wheel independent suspension

Speed-sensing steering wheel

Anti-theft, AM/FM stereo with CD & radio

10 speakers

The back also lifts open with part of the tailgate still closed (see photo).  This is great so things don’t shift and fall out the back when you open the back hatch after traveling. 

 

Just passed inspection and emissions. 

 

I was so excited when I bought this car because BMW is my all-time favorite car.  It’s been a long and difficult 5 1/2 years after a divorce that left me as the sole support of our 2 kids, so getting this to replace my 13 yr old, 253K mile Volvo felt like a real accomplishment.  Especially on the heels of earning my master’s degree just over a month ago.   I am the 3rd owner of this car, I believe, and it originated in Hawaii!  It then moved to NC before settling here in NoVA. 

It wasn’t really planned but more like something that fell into place, or so I thought.  There was a light on the dashboard when I got it but my son and I thought it had to do with the 4x4 being disengaged . . until two more lights came on.  I called the dealer and took it in, and a few days later they returned my vehicle with a new alternator.  Being a little nervous, I took it to the mechanic I trust completely for a good once over, in case there were other lurking issues.  He cleared it and, in fact, said it was a good car.  He also told me it was a V8. Therein lies my problem.  The salesperson at Pohanka told me it was a V8, AWD vehicle.  After looking briefly at a sedan and this one, and from what I was told, this would get a little less gas mileage due to the AWD.  I asked about this before we even test drove it, and the sales person looked it up on his phone right there in the parking lot to tell me the difference between AWD and a regular vehicle with only two wheels really doing the work.  There was NO mention of it being an 8 cylinder.  Since he initially said V6, I didn’t ask more about that. 

I simply cannot afford to keep a V8 car . .  . . .despite having an advanced education, I’m still supporting my family on a lower income salary because, at the time of my divorce, I had been a stay-home mom for 10 years.  I had to start all over.  Had the sales person told me it was a V8, I would have kept looking.  There are smaller engine SUVs out there.  I used to own one until the ex took it, promised to bring it back and trade, but traded it in on a sporty model instead.   

It will sit in my parking lot until it sells and I will only use it when I need to take my kids to activities that are further out, because my Volvo has a transmission problem and it worries me to get stuck on the road somewhere, at some point.  I bought an extended warranty for 5 yrs/ 100K miles that is included.  It was the best policy by an A+ BBB rated company I could find after much research.  I can put you in touch with the warranty people if you have questions about what it covers.  There is a $100 deductible for each covered expense, but no limits or caps on covered items. 

This is great if you’re hauling a boat or a trailer, but it’s too much car for me.  Even if I made twice as much and the gasoline wasn’t an issue, a V6 is all the more car I need.  That’s what I will look for once I sell this to someone who can truly appreciate it.

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.

BMW teases 3.0 CSL Hommage concept

Wed, May 13 2015

If you're a fan of the Batmobile (no, not that Batmobile), we've got good news for you. BMW is building a concept that pays tribute to the original 3.0 CSL, and it's being unveiled at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on May 22. Judging by the teaser image pictured here, it's going to be hot. According to BMW, the Hommage concept "is a nod to the engineering achievement exemplified by the BMW 3.0 CSL in its lightweight design and performance." Furthermore, the automaker says this concept will have "striking air deflectors, powerful wheel arches and a prominent roof and rear spoiler." The main focus of the car is lightness, and BMW trumpets the use of weight-saving materials both inside the cabin, as well as throughout the bodywork. That's all we know right now, but we expect good things. After all, BMW stunned us with its M1 Hommage concept a few years ago. Here's hoping the iconic CSL's throwback is just as good. BMW 3.0 CSL HOMMAGE. MOTOR SPORT WITH AN ELEGANT CHARACTER. Munich/Cernobbio. On 22 May 2015, the BMW Group will unveil the new BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage to the global public for the first time at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. This model is the BMW Design Team's tribute to the BMW 3.0 CSL, a timeless classic and iconic BMW Coupe from the 1970s. The BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage is a nod to the engineering achievement exemplified by the BMW 3.0 CSL in its lightweight design and performance. The Hommage draws on the character of the earlier model and endows it with cutting-edge materials to translate it into the present in a new and exciting guise. Exclusive, confident, athletic: the exterior design. The design of the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage exudes sheer dynamics, with the body framed by striking air deflectors, powerful wheel arches and a prominent roof and rear spoiler. The stretched flanks serve as an elegant counterpoint to the distinctly sporty front and rear end. Subtle and finely sculpted surfaces convey dynamics and exclusivity, while the extensive use of carbon fibre for the lower section highlights the car's systematic lightweight design concept. Elegant purism: the interior design. The rigorously pared-down interior of the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage renders its lightweight concept not only visible but tangible as well. All the elements in the cabin are absolutely essential and each constituent has a high-quality structural or driving-related function.
