Description

For sale is a 1985 4 door BMW 318i. This car has been in the family since bought new from dealer in Germany and shipped to U.S.  My Aunt and Uncle bought it new and stored it every winter. Since 85’, the car has only seen one winter on the road. It has been extremely well taken care of and had annual dealer inspections. It’s a 5 speed transmission with the 1.8L inline 4 cylinder engine.  Only visible wear is the paint on the hood has some fading and scuffs in places, the driver’s side rear door lock actuator needs replaced, and the driver’s side seat has a small hole in it due to the seat spring breaking (the spring was repaired). The driver’s side quarter panel has been replaced and repainted. See pictures. I tried to show the paint tape lines from the quarter panel replacement. The quarter panel was replaced with a new weld in unit not a used donor. The car was equipped with cruise control and AC from the factory. The AC belt was removed and the cruise control lever was broken. Prior to the lever breaking off the cruise control worked very well.  I am unsure of the story behind the AC. The compressor and lines are still in place. The car has 152,121 miles and gets anywhere between 25-30 mpg. All the fluids have been checked and topped off along with a new oil change that has less than 50 miles on it. It's PA state inspected & Emissions until 7/14 the tires are good however the front tires are tapered with more tread on the inner fender side than the outside. The wet floor in the garage is due to just washing the car. I wouldn’t hesitate to jump in this car and drive it anywhere!

Included with the car is the following:

  • Manuals (as pictured)
  • Receipts (in a file)
  • The normal spare plus one extra spare (both with factory wheels & good, possibly new tires)
  • Two steel wheels (one tire is blown out & the other is dry rotten, they are studded) 
  • Miscellaneous items (factory jack & wrenches, extra belt or two, extra interior light bulb & extra lug stud)

       

This car is listed locally and I reserve the right to end the listing at any time. It will continue to be stored indoors until sold.

BMW 328d confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Late last year, some of BMW's future diesel plans for the US market were leaked, and we learned that a diesel-powered version of the 3 Series sedan (pictured above in 335i guise) would be coming in the first quarter of 2013. That report appears to be holding true, as BMW has just confirmed the debut of the oil-burning 328d sedan as part of the company's New York Auto Show plans.
The 328d will be powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine good for 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The rear-wheel-drive sedan will hit 60 miles per hour in 7.2 seconds and fuel economy numbers could "well exceed" 40 miles per gallon. (Official EPA numbers will be released closer to the car's launch.)
Elsewhere on BMW's New York stand, the company will show off the 3 Series Gran Turismo that debuted at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month, as well as the Concept Active Tourer that we first saw in Paris last fall. Scroll down for the official press blast.

Can the government mechanically force you to wear your seatbelt? [w/poll]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013


The National Highway Traffic Administration is considering the use of ignition interlocks in vehicles that would require the seatbelts of occupied seats to be fastened in order to drive the car, Automotive News reports, four decades after Congress moved to prevent manufacturers from installing them in cars sold in the US market. Following a transportation bill passed last year that lift some of the restrictions on seatbelt interlocks, automakers such as BMW are considering the benefits of using them in future cars. Now, before you go crying about your lost freedom, keep reading.
BMW said in an October 2012 petition that the use of seatbelt interlocks would allow the company to make lighter and more spacious vehicles, if the devices could be used in lieu of unbelted crash tests. The crash test has required the addition of bulky safety features, such as knee bolsters, that aren't as necessary when occupants are buckled up, especially when considering the dizzyng list of safety features that come standard on today's cars. Europe, which has a higher rate of seatbelt use than in the US, doesn't perform unbelted crash tests on cars sold there.

BMW X5 driver repeatedly fails to understand big rig braking distances

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

Nobody should be shocked that a big, heavy vehicle like a semi truck takes a longer distance to stop than the average passenger car; it's just basic physics. However, this BMW X5 driver seemingly has a major problem grasping the concept, and it results in some serious damage to the back of his SUV.
The whole incident is very confusing to watch. The BMW doesn't even seem to have a reason to slow down before the semi slams into the back of it at fairly high speed. But to make the situation even weirder, the crashes just keep happening again and again.
To give the BMW driver a little credit, he appears amazingly calm when surveying the damage afterward. But you have to wonder what this guy was thinking when trying a harebrained move like this. Check out the video to watch the carnage unfold.
