Thank you for your interest. I am selling my 1991 BMW 850i (E31) with 90,700 miles on the odometer (mileage might be slightly higher at time of sale). This car is in excellent condition for a 23 year old vehicle and has been very well taken care of. The body is very clean and free of rust and dents and has a shiny burgundy color (with only a few blemishes in the paint). This BMW has never seen snow as it was a Florida car that I bought three years ago and which I picked up in person and drove back to Pennsylvania without any problems at all. It has been stored during the winter months and was never driven in snow. The V12 engine is very strong and runs smoothly with no engine oil consumption at all. The automatic transmission shifts well from one gear to the next without any jerks. Suspension and brakes are in excellent condition as well. The interior is tan and very clean with a new headliner and new A, B, and C pillar coverings. The rear seats look as if no one ever sat in them (and how could one with so little space?), the passenger seat is very good, and the driver’s seat has a few minor blemishes (see pictures).  Everything works just the way it should.

I purchased this one-owner vehicle in November of 2011 with 88,365 miles on the odometer, and to this day I have only put a little over 2,000 miles more on it. It was supposed to be my sunny weekend driver, but I just haven’t had the opportunity to use it much. It is now time to part ways.

Questions are, of course, always welcome, and should you require more photos, please let me know. Personal inspections and test drives are encouraged, provided you are seriously interested in purchasing my BMW. There is no warranty of any kind! The car’s title is in my possession and will be transferred to the new owner at the time of full payment. My BMW is also for sale locally, which is why I must reserve the right to take it off Ebay at any moment.

2 new Batteries (4/22/2012 @ 89,800 miles)

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars

Tue, 20 Nov 2012

Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.

BMW unleashes 160-hp S 1000 R streetfighter motorcycle

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

BMW Motorrad released the S 1000 RR superbike in 2010, but for those who'd like to take it down a (small) notch, the German motorcycle maker introduced the 2014 S 1000 R, a slightly less-ballsy version of the range-topping superbike, at EICMA on Tuesday.
In its transformation from 193-horsepower superbike to 160-hp sportbike, BMW detuned the 999cc inline four-cylinder engine a bit by lowering the redline from 13,000 RPM to 11,000 RPM, where peak power is made. Torque is rated at "approximately" 83 pound-feet (the RR makes 82.5 lb-ft), but more importantly, engineers tweaked the torque delivery in the R's favor by redesigning the cylinder-head ducts, modifying the camshaft profiles and reprogramming the engine management system. The result is seven lb-ft more torque than the RR up to 7,500 RPM. The R's torque peak occurs at 9,250 RPM.
The bike comes standard with ASC (automatic stability control) and "Race" ABS. Riders can choose between two modes, "Road" and "Rain," which adjust ABS and ASC settings to suit dry or wet roads. DTC (dynamic traction control) is available as an option, and with two modes, "Dynamic" and "Dynamic Pro," the system optimizes traction and helps riders achieve maximum acceleration.

2014 BMW M5 facelift shows up online

Tue, 14 May 2013

Is it that time already? Like its predecessors, the current BMW M5 has been endangering US licenses since it first went on sale here in 2012, but its design became a known quantity back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Apparently that also means that the F10 generation has already grown tired enough to the "Must Have Latest Set" who can afford these sorts of super saloons that a facelift is in order.
If these leaked images sourced from Autocar are anything to go by, BMW stylists have used a predictably light hand to rework their hottest 5 Series, with a revised grille that echoes the M6 along with modestly resculpted headlamps. The rear end appears wholly unaltered. Interior changes gleaned from a look at the cabin photos include an updated touchpad-equipped iDrive controller and a new steering wheel cribbed from the M6.
No new word on changes to the 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 powertrain, but in late April, we heard that BMW was readying new competition packages for the M5 and M6. The packages are said to include 15 more horsepower, revised suspension and steering, along with new wheels and blackened exhaust tips. Given that BMW is known for habitually underrating its cars' horsepower outputs (particularly its M models) we can't help but wonder if its engineers will need to do anything other than wave a magic wand to corral those extra ponies underhood...
