Low owner CA car - I believe I'm the third owner - that will make a good basis for a restoration. Please note I'm not a professional mechanic nor do I play one on TV.
Basically, I have too many vehicles and not enough time to look after them so it's time for me to admit to that fact and sell a few.
- Very little rust - it has a little ding on the driver's side rocker panel that is showing a little rust. Doesn't photograph well unfortunately. Other than this area, I haven't found any other rust.
- Two sets of wheels and tires - the OEM wheels with 3 season tires in the pictures and a set of Momo five spokes with Blizzak snows that are one season old
- Had new lower front control arms with bushes fitted by the local BMW specialist last year. If you know anything about ixs, you know that's not a cheap job.
- Electrics work, including the heated seats.
- Original unmolested interior - no cracks in the dash, no speaker holes, still has the original radio and speakers
- Odometer is still working, yay :).
- Drivetrain is in good shape with the two exceptions mentioned below, engine still pulls hard. Currently fitted with a "winter" thermostat (88C) but comes with a stock thermostat, a set of stock headlights, a Peake code reader and a Bentley manual.
- Had new rear lights last year, too
- It's all stock - it even still has the OEM exhaust.
- The Antilock brakes just developed a fault - if the car sat for a while and you start it up, the brake pedal is hard as if the brake booster is defective. Press the brake pedal hard and brake pedal will act normally again (as will the brakes) but the Antilock brake warning light will illuminate. The brakes will need work as they are.
- AWD system is working according to my local BMW specialist, but it doesn't pass the jack test
- It has the usual bolster wear on the drivers seat and split seams on the rear seat. Good used replacement bolsters for the front seat are included.
- A/C doesn't blow cold
- One of the rear shocks is leaking. The shocks look like they're the originals and well past due their sell-by date.
- The previous owner had it resprayed in the stock color, unfortunately it's a cheap paint job and that shows - lots of orange peel and an almost complete absence of gloss.
- It has Euro headlights fitted and they work well (I think they're actually Xenons, but I'm not 100% sure). They're self-levelling headlights and unfortunately the self-levelling mechanism is missing so the headlight aim is rather random. A set of stock ix headlights come with the car, though, but the wiring needs to be reverted to stock.

BMW planning to stretch i3 into i5 family hauler?
Sat, 30 Nov 2013If you're sweet on the new BMW i3 but wish it had more space to carry people and stuff, we've got good news for you. According to Autocar, BMW is planning on stretching the platform that underpins the i3 to create a new model, expected to be called i5.
The stretch job would add an extra four inches of legroom in the back and another six inches of rear overhang to the benefit of cargo space. The result would create a vehicle longer than the current Mini Countryman - although the next Countryman is likely to be even larger. As Autocar points out, the process of extending the i3's composte passenger cell likely wouldn't be as difficult or cost-intensive as lengthening a conventional metal chassis, although the rear doors would need to be re-engineered.
Whether the resulting vehicle would more closely resemble a hatchback, wagon, minivan or something in between remains to be seen, however BMW is said to have already registered the nameplates i1 through i8, signalling that the possibility is at least there to add more members to its new EV family.
BMW web sales plan opposed by German dealers
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Tesla isn't the only manufacturer that is facing a backlash over its plans to sell cars directly to customers. BMW is under fire from its German dealerships over its desire to sell its cars via the internet.
BMW has plans to sell the new i3 through the World Wide Web, while a "Mobile Sales Force" will be making house calls. According to Automotive News Europe, Head of German Sales Roland Krueger told German weekly Wirtschaftswoche, "We can imagine that Internet sales could be expanded to all models." This is the particular caveat that has traditional brick-and-mortar dealers so up in arms.
According to the head of BMW's German dealerships Werner Entenmann, "We told BMW in no uncertain terms that we cannot accept direct sales channels." Reuters reports that an anonymous dealer has gone so far as to pledge not to use the sales force in Germany. Krueger, for what it's worth, told Wirtschaftswoche that the "backbone" of BMW sales will still be traditional dealerships.
BMW to announce location of new plant in Mexico in July
Tue, 20 May 2014Volkswagen manufactures in Mexico. Soon Audi will as well, and Mercedes-Benz is said to be working on a deal to assemble some of its cars at a Nissan plant in Mexico too. That leaves BMW out of the mix of German automakers building cars South of the Border, but that may soon be rectified, as well.
According to Automotive News, the Bavarian automaker is preparing to announce the site of its first Mexican assembly plant as soon as July, now just two months away. BMW already builds cars for North American consumption at its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, but has reportedly been keen to capitalize on cheaper labor and the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement to supply vehicles to the United States and Canada especially.
When BMW does announce the site of the plant - reportedly narrowed down to either Hidalgo or San Luis Potosi - it is tipped to work its way up to 100,000 vehicles per year at the new location, potentially to include the 3 Series as well as smaller, front-drive models, including Minis.
