My business partner and I buy, fix, and flip cars. We had bought this beautiful, majestic, nice running car to sell it thinking all I needed was tires, some bulbs, and brakes to make it almost perfect and get $6000 for it, that is how nice the body, paint, and interior are not to mention a 740 is just straight O.G. and cool as hell. Unfortunately the car had other plans. The car sat for a while, the battery went dead, jumped it and now the transmission fail safe mode activated, check engine light is on, and it feels like it is slipping or not down shifting into first gear. I went no further with any inspection of the mechanical state of the car. It is drive-able but not happy and I have no clue what I am doing with a BMW transmission. May be some sort of electrical issue or computer control, I don't know but lets just assume the worst...like the transmission is bad. Since it is a BMW and it is a transmission problem it is outside my field of expertise. This would be a great car for someone who knows what they are doing and has the means to diagnose and repair it. If you don't know how to fix it and you don't know a guy or something you might want to buy one of the other ones that are 2-3 times the price that don't have issues. Any questions please ask, except for what is wrong with it ( if I knew I would fix it and sell it for a lot more). If you want to look at it that is fine, but test drive over 100 ft. is pretty much out of the question without  deposit (don't want to have to advertise it as won't move because a tire kicker blew the trans completely). Trying to be as honest as possible. Not representing this as being anything other than a project, so please don't expect anything else. There is a non refundable deposit, please read the payment instructions. Would highly suggest towing or trailering to avoid any further dammage and/or make sure it gets where it is supposed to go, but once it is paid for do with it as you wish....at that point it's your anyway just make sure you take the car with you when you do it.

BMW launches new M Performance accessories for M5, M6

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

Those looking to make their stock BMW look like an M model might be interested in an M Sport package. But those who already drive an M model and want that extra bit of attitude to take it over the top look towards the M Performance Accessories catalog, to which BMW has just added a new range of add-ons for the M5 and M6.
The new range of accessories include a titanium exhaust from Akrapovic that's 22 pounds lighter and an extra bit throatier than the stock unit. BMW's also offering a carbon-ceramic brake kit and 20-inch alloys to accommodate them, as well as a carbon aero kit, carbon interior trim and those trademark stripes for the truly extroverted BMW performance enthusiast.
You can check them out in the gallery above and the press release below to see what Martin Tomzczk, the DTM driver sponsored by BMW M Performance Accessories, chose for his matte black M6 Gran Coupe daily driver.

BMW i3 starts near $35,000; NA first deliveries January 2014

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

While in Germany at the first early pre-production drives of the hotly anticipated BMW i3, BMW people finally hinted at a price ballpark. Numbers being tossed around by pundits have actually been pretty close to what BMW is discussing internally - between $35,000 and just over $40,000. We have been assured now that the base price, should one choose to buy and not lease in the Euro zone, is just over 35,000 euro, with some big taxes included in that price. In the US, the starting price for the fully EV plug-in version should be $34,500 or right thereabouts. In addition to new pricing, we've also gotten our best-yet look at the i3, with the freshly uncovered spy shots you see here.
European deliveries begin in November of this year for the fully electric version of the rear-wheel-drive i3 with 168-horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The e-motor mounted over the rear axle is supplied with energy by the 22-kWh lithium-ion battery pallet under the passenger compartment. Recharging happens in any of three ways: public or personal garage plug-in charge station (garage version not included in the price), the onboard system's Pro Eco mode that adds resistance to the drivetrain in a type of rolling brake energy recuperation, or through the normal brake energy and off-throttle coasting regeneration more common to EVs. Range on a full charge of this drivetrain is said to be upwards of 100 miles under hyper-miling conditions.
Perhaps the best bit of news is that the alternative, range-extending, two-cylinder 600cc engine supplied by BMW Motorrad for the hybrid version of the i3 - mounted in the rear together with the e-motor - will add only 2,000 euros in Europe and about $2,000 in the US. This is a range-doubling solution that could have brought a much higher price gouge, so thank you, BMW. The hybrid e-drive i3 version arrives a couple months after the full-EV launch version. Remember that, unlike the very similar system for the Chevrolet Volt, the system in the i3 supplies no mechanical torque to the driven axle and is only used as a generator (a system BMW first used last year in the 1 Series-based Active ). The US is seen as the clear number one market for the i3.

BMW wants world drifting record back in US

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

BMW just can't stand the thought of the world record for the longest drift winding up in the hands of someone else. The German automaker is set to take a crack at setting a new record by blowing the old one straight out of the water. A driver in China holds the current title after kicking a car sideways for a full 3.6 miles. Now, on May 11, BMW Performance Driving Instructor Johan Schwartz will attempt to pitch a BMW M5 sideways for some 40 miles as part of a stunt to raise funds for the BMW Pro-Am Charity.
We've had the distinct pleasure of riding with the instructors at the BMW facility in South Carolina, and we can tell you that if anyone can keep an M5 at full tilt for 40 miles, it's these guys. BMW has released a teaser video to drum up attention for the stunt. You can catch it below.
