Dam this winter came early! And I have no where to store my 850, so I guess we'll see if we can find it a better home.

I bought my dream car two years ago from the Copart auction in Los Angeles. I live in Green Bay, so it was just based on pictures and no description. It was a 'Rebuilt Salvage' Car originally from Alabama. Apparently California doesn't recognize other states 'Rebuilt Status' so it came to me with a Salvage title and I had to have it Wisconsin Inspected, which we did no problem.
So currently it is licensed as rebuilt salvage. Check your states laws, but CA would require their own inspection, again...

Currently it has a Check Engine light that comes and goes and a clutch that will need replacing soon.
The clutch releases with the pedal all the way 'up' and if it was a mechanical linkage I would adjust it a little looser, but alas it's Hydraulic and not adjustable as far as I can tell.
If you try for a 'quarter mile blast' sometimes it'll slip when you hit 3rd, other times it'll hold tight and you can run it up over 100 MPH no problem.
Drive it like an adult and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it to Texas tomorrow, but it will need a clutch soon.
My plans are to put a Clutch in and a set of Syncros in the trans (2nd gear isn't as smooth as it could be), but that won't be happening before spring for me.

Anyways to sum it up, there are nicer examples out there, and plenty of 850's with Automatics.
If you want a 6 Speed car (They always say less than 10% came manual, so about 300 of them), but don't want to spend 10K or better this might be for you.

I'm tore up about selling it, took me forever to get it, but before I park it for the long Wisconsin winter I thought I'd try and find it a better home...
Email me for my reserve

My zip code is 54227 if you need to figure shipping, obviously your responsibility.
I can be available almost anytime to meet your shipper, or show you the car if you want to come see it before the auction ends
ALso if you want to investigate flights, Green Bay is closest, Milwaukee is more popular and not too far, arrangements COULD be made to pick someone up.

and finally, I do have a Wisconsin Dealers License, but I'm not what you would expect for a car dealer, no colored flags flying, no sales people, no financing. I just have a bad car habit, I maybe sell 7-10 cars a year to Friends and Family, mostly I use the license for the dealer tags, and the ability to slap a plate on whatever I want to drive!
What that really means to you is if you are a WI resident I have to charge you sales tax and registration fees. If you are from out of state I can hand you the title (signed and filled out in your name) and you are responsible for fees at home.
Thanks for looking,
Matt

Two rare Alpina BMWs given the Petrolicious treatment

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Alpina is getting more and more ink because of because of that rolling cannonade known as the B7 and its closer ties with BMW. The company's tuning business dates to 1962 when Burkard Bovensiepen began fiddling with Weber carburetors, then his company began racing in 1968 and was eventually certified as an automaker in 1983.
Two of its rarer specimens from those early years have gotten a glance from the folks at Petrolicious: the E24 B10 and E24 B7S. Based on the BMW 6 Series, the Alpina versions made one of the most special coupes from the Eighties even more so. According to the video, there were only 44 B10s made, and the turbocharged, 333-horsepower B7S - this was in a luxury coupe in 1982, mind you - saw only 33 examples produced.
You won't be sorry to find out more about them - and see how they run - in the Petrolicious video below.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

BMW M2, we're happy to see you

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

I recently spent some time behind the wheel of the BMW M235i and, well, I didn't love it. Sure, it's a great car, but I just didn't truly bond with it the way I have with previous M cars. What I had hoped for was a proper successor to the 1 Series M Coupe I fell in love with in 2011, but what I got instead was just a sporty 2 Series that didn't exactly stir my emotions in the same way.
But now there's this: the honest-to-goodness BMW M2. Previously, spy photographers captured a development-mule M2, but this is the real thing, in its full prototype body. Notice the aggressive front fascia that mimics the M3/M4, the more more robust wheel/tire package, and the M-standard quad exhaust outlets around back. This thing sure does look the business.
Details are slim as of this writing, but rumors suggest power will come from BMW's now-ubiquitous N55 turbocharged 3.0-liter six, with output somewhere in the 360- to 380-horspower range. The seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission seems like a good fit here, too. As does a six-speed manual transmission (here's hoping).
