1991 BMW 850i, V-12 Automatic, Calypso Red, fully loaded, and just turned 83,370 original miles. The car is priced way below market to SELL. I have a new toy arriving this week and need the space.

This is not your typical 850. For a start it has only 83,370 miles and the engine really shows it. The car starts easily and the engine is silky smooth and revs easily. This is fitted with the Wokke performance chip, Magnaflow mufflers and X-pipe and it sounds pretty angry. Not too loud but nothing like standard.

The car drives great, air and heat work perfectly, cruise, tilt, power seat, radio, lighting, accessories, etc all work. This car runs smooth and peppy, it shifts and stops properly, and is really a pleasure to drive. The H&R Lowering Springs and the 18x9 and 18x8 wheels provide for a firm but comfortable ride.

The car was lowered with H&R Springs. The Drilled/Slotted Brake Rotors, Ruff racing wheels and tires, ECS Wheel Spacers, and Lowering Springs all have about 3500 miles or less on them. The engine has been fitted by the prior owner with the Wokke Performance chips, they do make a difference in performance. The Mufflers and X-pipe have about a 2-3000 miles on them. Brand new batteries, so all is good there too. The fuel pump was replaced using genuine BMW fuel pump. Intake gaskets have been recently replaced along with new NGK Plugs.

These cars have a common problem in that the computer loses its pixels and becomes unreadable. This unit has been replaced with a refurbished computer and ALL pixels are working perfectly as you can see in the video below. Rear brake pads were replaced less than 100 miles ago. Brand new BMW driver's side lower door seal.

I am including with this car the Euro style door mirrors which, at least in my opinion, are vastly superior in terms of styling (see final photos). They just need to be painted to match and fitted. Finally I am including an original BMW radio in case you wish to revert the car to original.

I do have the original Suspension, brake parts and also the exhaust. All of which are included. Again in case you want to revert the car to original spec OR you can sell them.

The car has a small battery drain which has been traced to the driver's door. I have purchased replacement modules which need to be installed. A mechanic should be able to do this easily. One or the other is the likely culprit.

Bodywork and paint is solid, a few dings which is to be expected on a 23 year old car. The rear bumper is showing a little sign of heat to the paint and a fresh coat of clear should resolve that.

The big ticket items on a car of this type is the power train and you wont find a smoother engine.

2014 BMW 5 Series starts at $50,425* and gets a new diesel, 5 Series GT starts at $60,925* [w/video]

Sun, 19 May 2013

BMW itself says it is making "Precise modifications to the design" of the facelifted, sixth-generation 5 Series, and this is the result. The 2014 5 Series will come in four flavors - sedan, Touring, Gran Turismo and ActiveHybrid 5 - the biggest news probably the addition of a diesel engine for the US market.
When they go on sale in August, the 528i sedan will start at $50,425, a $1,700 increase over the 2013 model, and if you want xDrive that adds $2,300 to the price across the model range. The 535d employs a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six-cylinder diesel with 255 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque and starts at $56,025. BMW portends "substantial fuel efficiency gains over its gasoline-fueled counterpart," but the exact numbers won't come until closer to the on-sale date. The $64,825, top-dog 550i holds pat with 4.4-liter, twin turbo V8, with output upped to 445 hp and 480 lb-ft - an increase of 45 hp and 30 lb-ft of torque. The outputs haven't changed on the twin-turbo four-cylinder in the 528 nor the 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine in the 535, and *all prices include the $925 destination charge. The engines are also fitted with a coasting mode that uncouples the powertrain when rolling downhill.
Outside there are new "contour lines" for the grille and air intakes, slimmer taillights and elements that accentuate the car's width - as if that were necessary. Xenon adaptive headlights will be standard along with side indicator lights on the rearview mirrors, the options list adds LED headlights, the Luxury Line and Modern Line packages. The former package adds chrome trim to certain exterior elements, the latter adds matte chrome trim.

Beverly Hills road rage incident ends with BMW driver ramming bicyclist

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

An instance of road rage turned mortally dangerous in Beverly Hills, CA, recently, when an incident between a cyclist and a BMW driver took a scary turn in front of a rolling security camera.
LA Weekly reports that the person on the bicycle and the driver of the 2008 BMW 328i in the video had some kind of altercation, resulting in the cyclist punching the driver. The driver then followed the biker to an alley on the 9000 block of Wilshire Blvd and, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department, "Intentionally rammed the bicyclist with his vehicle pinning him to a metal rolling trash bin."
That the act was intentional is clearly evident in the video footage below, captured on a security camera. Police have published the video in the hopes of tracking down the driver, who is said to be in his mid-30s with dark hair, dark eyes and a thin build. BMW owners across the country can thank him - for reinforcing certain stereotypes - by helping to turn him in. Do your part, Bimmer Nation.

Rolls-Royce sketching out SUV for possible 'late 2017' release

Wed, 14 May 2014

With each new story on the Rolls-Royce SUV, the Goodwood automaker comes off as more at ease with their reluctantly birthed yet necessary sport ute. Company design chief Giles Taylor told Autocar that his team is still "sketching to assess the viability of the concept," which to ours ears means they're trying to figure out if such a beast is even possible within the confines of the brand. If it is, Taylor says it will be "a shooting brake, not a crossover with a sloping roof. A proper SUV."
A different company source, unnamed, seems confident that Taylor's team will figure it out, telling the magazine it would start at 200,000 pounds ($335K US). However, that same source said the vehicle will be "a kind of Mercedes-GLK-plus-plus," which is a baffling description in several ways. More reasonable is the speculation that it will ride on Ghost, not Phantom, architecture and make its debut sometime around late 2017.
That Ghost platform is expected to take cues from the carbon, aluminum and steel bones that supported the BMW Vision Future Luxury concept shown at the Beijing Motor Show and destined for the 9 Series. Some of those tricks will also go into the next-generation Phantom, which Autocar says will come in 2017 and not 2020.
