For you mechanics - Engine Compression Numbers:
I bought this car from a dealership who told me it was not the original engine. I did not verify if that was the case or not - but if it is the original engine she's got great compression numbers and runs very strong. It may have sat for a year or so and was not in the best of condition. The E-brake wasn't working so I took it apart and fixed that. She isn't the strongest e-brake but she does work. The car came lowered and honestly drove horrible. I put stock springs on, got an alignment and four used, but decent treaded tires put on. She drives straight, and nice now. Truly I find myself driving a bit like an a-hole because she's light, small and nimble. The underside of the car was coated in fluid. So I traced the leakage and replaced the valve cover gasket and fixed a power steering reservoir leak. The car's underside, after driving it daily, has been completely dry now. Her AC system was not working when I bought it, the AC condenser was broken. So I replaced that with a new condenser and she blows nice and cold. The O2 sensor was not functioning, so I replaced that as well and now the car drives great and strong with no check engine lights. As far as appearance... I shampooed, and steam cleaned the carpets and the seats. I added smoked tail lights and corner lights. I did this because the tail light assemblies were goofed up and things weren't making proper contact. Also, there is a section between the trunk lid and the rear bumper that had rusted. I bought a new piece to put on there, but it needs to be painted. I have not gotten around to doing that yet but the piece will come with the car. The front bumper didn't have the grill in it and was flaking. So I bought a new one, which will come with the car. It just needs to be painted as well. There was a big dent in the passenger side rear quarter panel (as seen in the pictures). This dent has been pulled, but is not perfect. I figured I'd make it perfect when I had the other pieces painted but haven't gotten to that point yet. The seats are cracked - very common for the dove grey interior - and the stitching on the drives seat bolster has separated. None of the leather is ripped though. As far as condition... If you decide to buy the car, she's ready to drive immediately. Power windows, power door locks, sunroof, heated seats, windshield wipers, turn signals, head lights, high beams, climate control, etc all work. With that said though, she could use a little TLC in the following areas. She could use some updated suspension work. And the exhaust has a very small leak. She could use new fog light bulbs, rear stereo speakers, and the cruise control system doesn't work. The ABS light comes on and I believe that to be because of a faulty wheel speed sensor... or maybe its just dirty. The shifter is a little sloppy. I am unfamiliar with how it works, so I was not able to trace down the failure. I do drive her quite a bit these days. She's got really nice pickup and averages 27 miles per gallon (hwy and city combined). She starts right up and goes without issue, stuttering, etc. Might be running slightly rich for a second on startup but does great. The dealership said their were bigger injectors installed - and I don't believe there are.

2015 BMW i8 Prototype
Wed, 07 Aug 2013M Meets Edison
The real telling moment for the new BMW i division will be seeing how the recently tested 2014 i3 sells in its various markets, since that is the car that changes how we perceive our expectations of the brand. But this 2015 BMW i8 green supercar has all the earmarks of a slam-dunk project, we just needed to drive it and make sure for ourselves.
BMW has a spectacular test facility in southern France, called Miramas, and that's where we just had our first brief go behind the wheel of the i8. There were three cars for us there and they were dressed up in exactly the same paisley camo that we've all seen in the spy photos published everywhere for the past year. The interiors, though swathed in masking to hide all the details, varied in their color.

Tue, 28 May 2013BMW's Best 1 Series Gives Back What You Put In
Every once in a while, I find myself, despite my solitary leanings and inherent modesty, working out in some kind of class setting. The tone and tenor of these classes ranges wildly - from the quiet, follow-the-leader variety, to those with a kind of Cult of Personality man or woman calling the shots, usually with idiom-laden shouting and theatrical hair. Despite their personal variation and range of professional effectiveness, there's one common concept that most instructors bring up at some point: working with intention.
The idea, as it relates to physical fitness, is that focusing your brain on the movement at hand - the rate of your own breathing, or the muscle groups being worked for instance - helps to perform the act efficiently and correctly. Having spent a happy majority of the last decade in an exercise-free near-debauch, I was a bit surprised to find out that this kind of mental game really works pretty well.
BMW bringing special Horse Edition 7 Series to Beijing
Thu, 10 Apr 2014The Beijing Motor Show is just a couple of weeks away, and BMW wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to show off its latest wares to one of its most vital markets. So when the doors open in Beijing, BMW will showcase the new 2 Series Active Tourer, 2 Series Coupe, M3 and M4, 4 Series Gran Coupe and X4. It will also introduce the i3 and i8 to China for the first time. But those are all models we've seen already. What's new is... wait for it... the 7 Series Horse Edition.
Not celebrating horses so much as the Year of the Horse, this special edition 7 Series is based on the long-wheelbase model and comes with all manner of M equipment packages, a special paint job from BMW Individual and unique touches inside and out. BMW isn't saying which engine it features, but it sells the series in China in 730Li, 740Li, 750Li, 760Li and ActiveHybrid forms, with rear- or all-wheel drive. Given that the one pictured is wearing an xDrive badge, it would have to be either the 740Li or 750Li, but buyers will presumably be able to order it in whichever spec they desire.
While it may not be as exciting as the 9 Series concept BMW is rumored to have lined up for the Beijing show as well, you can bet that the Bavarian automaker will find plenty of buyers for this extra-special, extra-Chinese, extra-equestrian luxury sedan, and command a healthy premium from each and every one of them.
