Here's a gem for you...a beautiful, one-owner, metallic black (Black Sapphire Metallic) 2008 BMW 335i Convertible with a rare 6-speed manual transmission and lots of highly-desirable/tasteful modifications (almost $18,000 in modifications!).

I am selling this car with MAJOR regrets because this car is just flat-out fantastic and drives like a dream (don't want to sell, but need to make room for a future car). This car was purchased and ordered brand-new from the BMW factory in Germany and ordered exactly how I wanted it. Oh, man, this is painful!...whoever gets this car will be one lucky new owner!

To start, let's go through the "bad" news and the "good" news on this car:

First, here's the "bad" part: these were mainly cosmetic incidents and car looks amazing and was repaired by a well-respected, high-quality shop

- In 2008, car sustained hail damage during a freak hailstorm...it was fully repaired to practically brand-new condition at Wagonwork in Alexandria, VA...can't even tell it was ever dinged! (no re-painting was needed at all)

- In 2010, right front fender/wing cracked from going over a pothole...again, it was fully repaired/replaced and painted at Wagonwork in Alexandria, VA

Now, here's the GOOD stuff!...car is in excellent condition...pics included:

If you're looking for a 3-series convertible with style and pizazz, this is the car for you. The Eisenmann Race exhaust simply sounds amazing and yes, it will turn heads everywhere you go! And this car has a full suspension upgrade, sporting a full KW V3 adjustable coilover suspension, along with OEM BMW E92/93 front and rear sway bars/wishbones/guide rods/bushings/etc - this car handles like no other standard 3-series you've driven...nice, tight, precise, and firm...you just point-and-shoot and go where you need to go!

Must admit I'm already jealous of whoever ends up buying this car!

2016 BMW 7 Series spied for the first time ever

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Ladies and gentlemen, Bimmerphiles and automotive voyeurs of all stripes: here is your next-generation BMW 7 Series. Captured in photographs for the first time ever while doing a spot of cold-weather testing in Sweden, this newly slim 7er will most likely debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2015 and launch in the 2016 model year.
Sources indicate that BMW is targeting a much lighter curb weight for the 7 Series, and will use learnings gained with the i3 and i8 development to add carbon fiber-reinforced plastics in the construction. In return we'd expect the new model - which uses the internal model designation "G11" - to offer improvements in handling, acceleration and fuel economy. As with the current 7 Series lineup, expect the engine range to include turbocharged inline-six engines, one or more V8s and a V12 option.
It's fair to say that, with the car's debut still years down the road, that BMW will work to launch with an impressive suite of in-car technology, too. A completely new version of iDrive shouldn't be ruled out. These shots mark the beginning of a long journey to 2015, and we expect to have loads more information to share in the coming months and years, so stay tuned.

Translogic 153: 2015 BMW i8

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

The 2015 BMW i8 is the second model in the Bavarian automaker's eco-friendly i-branded lineup. The i8's plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine with a 96-kilowatt electric motor to make 357 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. Together, this gas-electric mechanical duo is capable of propelling the groundbreaking carbon-fiber sports coupe from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.2 seconds.
Join Translogic host Jonathon Buckley as he heads to Santa Monica, CA for a chance to drive the all-new BMW i8.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
