Paint is buffed, looks new. New Falken tires, New battery.

I bought this RS6 from a dealer in Vermont last year. Title is salvaged, rebuilt. He had purchased after the car went through a small flood in Vermont, where the water rose just above the floorboards, trashing all electronics. Before I purchased, I called the original owner who had it in the flood to find out about the car. He lived in NJ and drove to NYC often, most of the miles (89k) were hwy. The dealer I purchased from put in new brakes, had alternator rebuilt, new timing chain, replaced all the electronics in the floorboard, tuned it and drove it for 6 months. I bought it from him after i had it checked out.

After 2 months, the transmission went out. I rebuilt it, the best factory in CA, cost $9,000. While the motor was out of the car, I replaced all motor mounts, ac compressor, alternator, all pulleys for timing chain and other various parts that had rust on them. I had all the work done by Motor Works in Winston-Salem, highly recommended. All their work is warrantied for 18 months, currently 9 months in.

I just drove the car to Southern CA last month, too two weeks, put 5,000 miles on the car. Had a blast, ran perfectly. Runs up to 180 very fast.

Put ABX black rims with G-Max tires. about 8,000 on tires, should go 18,000.

Am selling because I just bought new truck and Range Rover and no room anymore, plus, I drove it and loved it. Now I can say I had an RS6.

BMW considering building 3 Series in North America

Sun, 13 Apr 2014

There might be even more BMWs coming from North America soon. The company recently announced plans to build a flagship crossover called the X7 at its Spartanburg, SC, factory. Now, rumors are emerging that the Bavarians might be thinking about building a second North American factory that could build its quick-selling 3 Series.
According to Bloomberg, the German luxury giant is considering several possible locations for a North American factory, including two in Mexico, that may build the 3. "We will decide this in the next months. On the North American continent, there's still potential," said BMW production boss, Harald Krueger, in an interview meant for company staff obtained by Bloomberg.
If BMW decides to open a plant in Mexico, it would be following its rival Audi, which already announced construction of a factory there. Mercedes-Benz has been rumored to be working on a deal with Nissan to build its cars South of the Border as well. Rumors of Bimmer considering Mexican production have also cropped up in the past, so it wouldn't come as a total surprise to hear it made official.

Audi passes BMW as top luxury brand in India

Tue, 21 May 2013

By the end of this decade, India is expected to be one of the top three car markets in the world, but automakers are already starting to duke it out for sales. In terms of premium brands, Automotive News says that Audi has jumped out to an early lead for sales in the country due in large part to the recent introduction of the Audi Q3 (shown above).
In 2012, Audi's sales increased 43 percent, rising to 9,350 units and outselling BMW (8,686) and Mercedes-Benz (7,015), both of which experienced a drop in sales last year of 9.5 percent and 5.4 percent, respectively. While none of these sales figures are particularly significant on a global scale, the article says that the market for premium cars in India is expected to quadruple by 2020 up to around 120,000 units. AN attributes Audi's lead to its offering of new SUVs while its rivals have been focusing on small hatchbacks.

EVO takes flight in BMW's sultry i8

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Electric cars and hybrids are here to stay, much to the apparent dismay of some auto enthusiasts, but that doesn't mean they have to represent the death of enjoyable driving. Granted, the initial run of hybrids in the US like the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius weren't exactly tailor-made for aggressive folks behind the wheel, but things are clearly changing. In its latest video, Evo takes a look at three examples from Europe's new crop of electrified vehicles to show that the future of fun motoring is safe and sound.
Evo editor Henry Catchpole kicks things off with one of the most bizarre EVs of the bunch, the tiny Renault Twizy. Its low power and 50-mile-per-hour top speed might make it miles away from a hot hatch, but there's still fun to be had in extracting the most from this little city car. Next up is the Audi A3 E-Tron, which isn't technically available yet. It's a step in the right direction of eventually creating an affordable, fun-to-drive hybrid hot hatch.
However, the main event is Catchpole getting some seat time in the BMW i8. The Bimmer can really fly -literally in this case - and the butterfly-door coupe offers a clear look at the prospects for electrified sports cars. It might not have the power of hybrid supercar contemporaries like the LaFerrari or Porsche 918 Spyder, but the BMW doesn't cost nearly as much, either. See? Improved efficiency doesn't have to mean boring.
