This is a Florida vehicle its whole life, so its never seen the snow and slag ! The engine compartment is very clean as you can see in the pictures. I drove this vehicle to Nashville, Tennessee in 12 hours....925 miles.... and it was a breeze. The A/C is cold and the cruise is working. This is a really nice, fun vehicle and the 3.0 inline 6 cylinder is a huge upgrade. I had this vehicle serviced with my regular mechanic, Bill's Alignment, and he inserted some tracks on the seats as they had a little wiggle room, this is common on this vehicle and he found a kit to make a good repair. There were also one or two more things....we service our cars ! The brake indicator light is on and the vehicle needs the brake pads and indicators replaced. I will have this done at no charge to the buyer of this vehicle. The rotors are excellent and will NOT be changed. It will be done promptly on receiving a deposit. As you can see we have 100% positive feedback and our intention is to keep it that way. The carfax report shows $1,220.00 above retail book value for this vehicle. The current NADA retail is $10,350.00 plus add $1475.00 for the low miles for a total RETAIL of $11,825.00. An opening bid of $8,500.00 buys this car with the brakes , unless outbid. The report shows a minor accident in 2006 and states that the vehicle was functional after the collision. In the past, many of our clients have flown into the Palm Beach airport. It is only 10-15 minutes away from our office. Please let us know how we may best serve you. We may consider a partial trade-in......this MUST be discussed and AGREED before any sale. Automotive Retention Systems is a licensed, bonded and insured dealer in Palm Beach county Florida. Our office is at 1392 N. Killian Drive Lake Park, Fl. 33403.........................................Call Rick At 561-201-6050 with any questions, requests, etc. Thanks for Looking.........Life is Good, Enjoy !!!

Project CARS vs reality at Laguna Seca shows amazing potential

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Project CARS is aiming to be the next great racing sim. Offering a mix of modern and classic cars on famous tracks, developer Slightly Mad Studios is trying to inject a fresh energy into the genre, and at the moment its game looks ready to take on Forza and Gran Turismo.
The game is still about six months from release, and the graphics already look practically photorealistic. The video below shows side-by-side laps of Laguna Seca in a BMW - real life on the left and the game on the right. It's absolutely astounding. Other than some changes to the sponsorship around the track, they are almost identical.
Of course anyone with quality seat time in a racing sim knows that graphics are just one factor. How the game feels is even more important, and without getting hands on, it's impossible to judge yet. However, consider our interest piqued. Project CARS is scheduled to launch in November on the Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft Xbox One, Nintendo WiiU, Windows PC and Steam OS. Scroll down to check out the video.

BMW will electrify all brands and model lines, including Mini

Tue, Jul 25 2017

BMW has announced that it plans to produce a fully electric version of the three-door hatchback Mini. The car will go into production in 2019, and the battery electric drivetrain will be produced at BMW's Bavarian facilities, then transported to Plant Oxford where it will join the cars. BMW says there will remain a diesel variant in addition to the petrol, plug-in hybrid, and EV versions of the Mini. No prototype shots have been released of the upcoming cars; the current one was unveiled in late 2013. The UK production location isn't the only place where BMW builds Minis, as the former Volvo/Mitsubishi/Smart NedCar plant in the Netherlands has been tooled to build some of the 360,000 Minis built yearly. According to the BBC, UK Business Secretary Greg Clark considers the choice to build EV Minis in Britain a "vote of confidence" despite Brexit, and that it would see battery technology development boosted in the UK. By the time the EV version starts production, UK will likely have already left the European Union. The electrification of the Mini is part of BMW Group's continuing addition of full-electric or plug-in versions to all its brands and model series. Of all the vehicles it will sell in 2025, 15-25 percent will be electrified in one way or the other. Similarly to Volvo, BMW sees flexible production to be in a key position in the future: The facilities would have to be able to build all versions at the same time, as markets fluctuate depending on incentives and infrastructure. If EVs sell strongly, the production process can quickly respond to the demand. An electric Mini underwent trials back in 2008, so the full-scale production vehicle would have over a decade's worth of engineering behind it. Green BMW MINI mini ev bmw group

BMW i8's three-cylinder sounds like it's shaping up quite nicely

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

We've run across some rather interesting news... or perhaps we should say interesting sounds. The folks from Bimmerpost have scrounged up a short video showing a preproduction BMW i8 running through a few gears in Sport mode at a quick pace, and if you were concerned that the somewhat eco-friendly nature of the upcoming German sports car would neuter its ability to stir the aural senses, fret not.
Judging by the lovely noise coming from the engine compartment of the i8 in the video, BMW's expertise in tuning high-strung, small-bore engines - remember, BMW Motorrad has quite the penchant for well-conceived motorcycle engines - has come through loud and clear. Now, it's worth mentioning that BMW's controversial Active Sound technology will be included with the i8, so the production car may not sound exactly like this version, which is running with the tech disabled. Owners won't have the ability to disable Active Sound on production i8s.
In related news, Bimmerpost reports that BMW will equip the i8 with an external Active Sound Design system to go along with its Pedestrian Protection System. That means those on the outside will likely hear piped engine recordings from the rear and a sort of "howl" from the front in order to warn pedestrians that the otherwise quiet (when running on electricity, that is) car is approaching. It will also feature technology that can stop the car before contacting a pedestrian.
