Up for auction is a very nice 2001 BMW 330xi. The previous owner of the vehicle was a young businessman who bought the car when it was new. I purchased the vehicle from him. As the owner of an automotive detailing company, I detailed the vehicle twice yearly since 2007. In 2010, I purchased the car, knowing it was well cared for. I am selling it to reinvest the money into the detailing business.

Despite the high miles, the BMW is in great shape. The paint looks great. The interior is in very good condition. Mechanically, the car runs flawlessly. The car performs and handles well, while getting about 28-mpg highway.

This is the 330 with all wheel drive and an automatic transmission. It has the sport package and is fully loaded, with the exception of the cold weather package. It has memory seats and mirrors. I have every service record, since the car was new. The BMW has been garaged since new.

The Pros:

The car drives tight and has no squeaks or rattles.
The BMW is well equipped.
The paint looks good.
The interior is in great shape.
It has been very well cared for with two meticulous owners.
The brakes and disks are newer.

The Cons:

The sunroof sun shade does not slide smoothly.
The passenger power window goes up slowly.
The paint is original and has some imperfections, like some rock chips on the front and several small dings in the RR door.
The tires have 15000 miles on them.

I hate to sell my BMW. Despite the high miles, it was well cared for and is in mechanically excellent condition. The reserve is $5300.

Audi S3 pitted against BMW M135i in track battle

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

Audi and BMW have long been enemies on both the road and the track, with their respective M and S/RS lines duking it out to the delight of auto enthusiasts everywhere. In this video from Evo, two of the rivalry's newest combatants take to the track - the Audi S3 and the BMW M135i.
The new Audi S3, which is finally coming to America, throws down with a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder. 290 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque are deployed to a Quattro all-wheel-drive system via a six-speed, S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission, allowing the five-door Audi to scamper to 60 in under five seconds.
The BMW, which Americans will know as a long-roof version of the new M235i Coupe, comes to the track with 320 ponies and 331 lb-ft of torque. That's a good bit more than the Audi, but the M135i has only two wheels to send its power to, an eight-speed single-clutch automatic (a six-speed manual is available) and a slightly higher curb weight.

2013 BMW M3 Coupe Lime Rock Park Edition

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

Sic Transit Gloria
I like difficult cars. I like turbo "moments," dramatic weight distribution, low-grip, peaky power delivery, and overly quick steering, along with ultra-short wheelbases and any number of other non-racecar-perfect dynamic foibles. I love the newest generation of BMW cars and engines - all turbo'd up with tons of torque and power everywhere in the rev range, too. But what I think the enthusiast community will miss when this 2013 M3 Coupe becomes the 2014 M4 Coupe - replacing its idiosyncratic, small-displacement, revvy V8 for something like a triple-turbo, directly injected, inline six-cylinder powerhouse in the process - is the work it takes to drive the car fast and perfectly. Sometimes small flaws just make things better; my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun, and all that.
The idea of this E92 M3 going away then, magnified by the loss of the M3 badge for the coupe, is at best bittersweet for me. This generation of M car is already surpassed in terms of raw thrills by the better-than-ever Mercedes-Benz C63, a car that doesn't ask its driver to sacrifice low-end grunt or the very latest in amenities in return for stellar backroad performance. Yet any time I've been lucky enough to lap a track in the M3, it has quickly become clear that the Bimmer is the better on-edge tool. With the freedom to wring the neck of the 4.0-liter V8 and room to exercise the lovely balance of the car, the E92 is hard to match (even six years after its debut).

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.
