2001 - Bmw M Roadster & Coupe on 2040-cars
Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States
If you are a serious enthusiast or collector looking for an immaculate example of the best M Roadster "S54", then you have found it! You probably know more about this car than I do and certainly more than I can put into this listing. If you are not familiar with the BMW "S54" M Roadster (produced only in 2001-2002) and are interested in learning more about the history and the vehicle, then I suggest using google to search the forums and/or articles available on the internet. Links are not allowed in ebay listings. I purchased this particular car in May of 2012 as a second car and investment with only 11k miles. I believe that I am the 2nd owner. The car is completely stock, and the only thing of significance that I did was change the tires and put 3k miles on the car since my ownership. As the previous owner, I always kept the car garaged. Mechanically, the car is 100% and there are no mechanical defects that I am aware of in ANY of the functions, including stereo, air conditioning, retractable top, etc. Cosmetically, the car is 99%+, no rim dings, but there may be some road rash and the typical front spoiler scrapes on the underneath. Inevitable when driving these lovely Los Angeles roads... Reason for selling: we need room for another car in the garage. Teenagers, sheesh! Please ask all pertinent questions prior to bidding. I am available to show the car with prior arrangements and reserve the right to sell the car prior to the end of the auction, although I am inclined to let the auction run its course. I can be reached at 310-545-7548. By placing a bid, the bidder agrees to make immediate contact via email, send a $500 deposit using paypal within 24 hours and the balance within 7 business days using certified funds. Shipping must be arranged by the buyer at their own expense. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Feb-02-14 at 11:51:30 PST, seller added the following information: Additional terms: Vehicle is sold as is. No warranty is given or implied.

BMW restores classic Mini as it revives production in Netherlands
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Mini will be kicking off production in the Netherlands, a country that hasn't built a Mini-badged machine since 1966. In honor of this event, BMW Group Classic, the team responsible for all the cars in the BMW Museum, as well as being a spare parts and restoration company in its own right, revived a classic 1959 Austin Seven. That particular car, number 983, was one of the first Minis to be built in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands' JJ Molenaar's Car Companies built 4,000 Austin Sevens and Morris Mini-Minors between 1959 and 1966, although we imagine Dutch Mini production will be much bigger when it starts up again in summer 2014. A five-person team from VDL Nedcar, the group handling production of new Minis, took to the job of restoring the diminutive British car from nose to tail.
The 34-horsepower engine and the transmission were both completely rebuilt, while the door panels were redone by hand. Help from the Mini community aided the VDL Nedcar team in finding authentic replicas or original parts where possible. All told, the new classic Mini is a striking example of what a good restoration can do to a car. The Seven was repainted in its original Farina Gray, adding to the car's sense of authenticity.
Renderings may show upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe
Thu, 26 Dec 2013We've already shown you spy images of the latest member of the BMW Gran Coupe family, the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Following the trend of the larger 6 Series Gran Coupe, the 4 Series variant grafts a spare set of doors onto its two-door body.
Now, the f30post forum has come up with what it says are patent drawings of the new 4GC (originally from Chinese site Autohome.com), giving a glimpse of what the coupe-sedan-thingy looks like without its camo in the way. What we're seeing is seemingly a mix of the 3 Series GT (noticeable around the rear window) with the larger Gran Coupe styling, while retaining the current 4 Series front end.
We can't say it looks great, but as these are merely renderings, it's far too early for us to come to a final conclusion on the overall look of the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Have a look up top at the patent images. We've also included our spy photos of the new Gran Coupe below. Let us know what you think of the latest niche product from BMW down in Comments.
Thermal imagery of BMW M4 DTM pit stop is red hot
Wed, 28 May 2014A pit stop is a pit stop, right? The race car pulls in, the crew changes the tires, pumps in some fuel, maybe swaps out a busted body panel or squeegees the windshield, and off it goes for another heat. Only pit stops have become the focus of news lately for a number of reasons, whether it's because of mishaps (like the ones that prompted F1 to ban mid-race refueling), new time records (due largely to said ban) or interesting new ways to film the fast-paced action.
A few weeks ago we brought you footage of an IndyCar pit stop filmed from multiple angles courtesy of Google Glass. Now BMW has released a brief clip of one of its M4 DTM racers coming in for fresh rubber, all filmed by infrared camera. Its the kind of technology BMW uses to help optimize its German touring cars for competition, and now the Bavarian outfit has released some footage for fans to enjoy.
The resulting thermal imagery gives you an idea of how hot the car runs (and where the heat is emanating from), how warm they get the fresh rubber before they get it onto the car, and what kind of temperatures the pit crew is subjected to. Look closely enough in the 25-second video below and you'll even see the heat sputtering out of the exhaust pipes as the M4 downshifts into its pit box. (Just don't try adjusting your speakers, the clip is without audio.)
