Very rare 1986 BMW 745IA, this model was never sold in the states, a very limited few were in imported/federalized for the states, car is loaded with all the top options, comes with with highline interior trim (basically leather stitched everything, door panels, dashboard, center console, everything), also has the extremely rare limousine style rear remote control for the radio and seats (see pictures) the large 6 cylinder with the factory turbo is rated at 252 horsepower with 380 nm of torque, this particular model had as much horsepower as the 80s U.S. version M5/M6 (they were rated at 256 horsepower), these vehicle had a whole lot more torque (the beauty of the factory turbo), this was also considered the fastest sedan for it's time. The best part is these vehicles have low turbo pressure 6psi, and I've read literature where you can double the power with a turbo pressure increase to 10 psi. The only book value is can find on this car is NADA.com, they're price listing is $6100 low retail, $10000 high retail, I imagine the value should be somewhere underder the $6k. Almost forgot to mention the car runs very good (the idle is rough on initial start but once it warms up its smooth), the ride is unbelievably butter smooth for a car this old, the engine, tranny and rear is tight, no smoke or oil coming from the exhaust pipe. I reserve the right to end the auction early if I reach an agreeable price with buyer. Any questions please call me at 910-494-7666 or email me at coorvette@hotmail.com Basically all this car really needs is a good paint job, re-upholster the front seats and dash board, leather treatment on the door panels and rear seats, a good oil change and it would be a good driver. Please see attached pictures

This BMW 2 Series ad has run afoul of Aussie ad watchdogs [w/poll]
Tue, 29 Apr 2014A complaint by an Australian movie-goer has put the brakes on an extended in-theater ad campaign by BMW, and drawn the attention of the country's Advertising Standards Board. According to the anonymous complaint, the ad "portrays an unfavorable message, contrary to safe and sensible driving."
The ASB upheld the complaint, which said the ad for the new M235i showed driving "typical of hoon activity," thanks to the burnouts, dusty drifts and runs up to redline. It's that last one that seems to have gotten the spot in the most trouble, with the ASB acknowledging that even though the car wasn't shown breaking the speed limit, the ad was in violation of a voluntary code of conduct for automotive advertising, according to Australia's Go Auto.
BMW doesn't seem to agree, pointing out that the ad uses creative editing, aggressive camera angles and other filming tricks to "add visual impact."
BMW begins restoring Elvis Presley's 507 [w/video]
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Imagine the King of Rock n' Roll driving a car and you'll likely picture a pink Cadillac or a yellow De Tomaso shot full of holes. But Elvis also owned a 1957 BMW 507 roadster, and now that roadster is returning home to BMW headquarters.
The 507 was a rare bird, of which only 254 examples were ever made. They were sold mostly to celebrities and royalty, but Elvis Presley was a GI when he bought it while stationed in Germany. The example that he bought had been displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show, used as a press car and raced by Hans Stuck (which is how Elvis came to see it in the first place), so when he took delivery of it second-hand, the dealership had a new engine installed. It was originally white, but legend has it that Elvis got tired of women writing their phone numbers on the side of it in lipstick that he had it repainted in red.
Stories differ on what exactly happened to it next, with some saying that he returned it once the lease was up and other saying that the army shipped it back to him in the States after his tour was over. But what we do know is that the car sat for many years, neglected but sheltered from the elements. Now it's heading to the the BMW Museum in Munich, where it will be on display until August 10, after which the BMW Group Classic department will undertake a comprehensive restoration of the star-studded roadster that's expected to take two years of work.
BMW tests M Lap Timer App with M4 Coupe at Brands Hatch
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The 2015 BMW M4 looks to include all the necessary ingredients to offer dynamite driving experience. It's an M car after all. But in today's constantly connected world, the experience of hurtling a car around a track isn't always enough.
We want data, and while there are some solid telemetry apps available for smartphones (notably Harry's GPS LapTimer), manufacturers have been a bit slower to develop their own dedicated mobile telemetry trackers for their performance cars. With the new M4, though, BMW is taking the plunge, allowing drivers to track their lap progress through a new app, creatively called the M Lap Timer.
To show off the program, BMW has recruited touring car racer Andy Priaulx to perform a fast lap in an M4 at the UK's Brands Hatch circuit. The accompanying video doesn't do much to show off the app in action. Rather, it give us a stylized look at the metrics as Priaulx hustles BMW's hottest 4 Series coupe around the circuit.
