For your consideration, I am offering for sale this wonderful car with a combination of classic looks and performance upgrades. This car started as an original rust free 1972 BMW Tii, the car received the major engine modifications from the previous owner. I purchased this car from New York Classic Cars for $18,0000 and drove it to Illinois. Once home, the car then went through a major review and upgrades to the original work, the car received about $ 12,000 in repairs since I owned it. This car would be a great candidate for weekend club track events or be very well suited for weekend shows. Since I have done all the repairs and upgrades, this car has only been used for weekend coffee and show events, as well as regional BMW vintage event appearances.

This Malaga Red car received, what I consider one of the best engines ever built, a 1989 M3 motor making a bit over 200 H.P. together with a 5 speed transmission and a limited slip differential. This car is currently reliable and fun to drive, it is light, it has plenty of power, it is an absolute joy to drive.

The mileage listed above is for the replacement M3 engine, mileage on original car is unknown.

This car always draws a crowd everywhere I go, it looks fantastic as you can tell from the pictures, it also sounds very aggressive. Most folks have no idea of the power to weight ratio on this car and are totally surprise by how well it drives.

Below is a list of the work done since I purchased the car:

1. New front fixed camber plates

Toyota sells off Tesla shares, too

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

The incredible rise of Tesla's stock price has done little to now stop two major shareholders from ditching their stake in the American EV manufacturer. First, Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, ditched its four-percent stake, and less than a week later, Toyota is doing the same thing, selling off an undisclosed bit of its Tesla investment.
The move comes as Toyota winds down sales of the RAV4 EV, which gets its batteries and electric motor from Tesla at the company's Fremont, CA factory.
"We have a good relationship with Tesla, and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects," Toyota spokesperson Kayo Doi told Bloomberg via email.

BMW to announce location of new plant in Mexico in July

Tue, 20 May 2014

Volkswagen manufactures in Mexico. Soon Audi will as well, and Mercedes-Benz is said to be working on a deal to assemble some of its cars at a Nissan plant in Mexico too. That leaves BMW out of the mix of German automakers building cars South of the Border, but that may soon be rectified, as well.
According to Automotive News, the Bavarian automaker is preparing to announce the site of its first Mexican assembly plant as soon as July, now just two months away. BMW already builds cars for North American consumption at its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, but has reportedly been keen to capitalize on cheaper labor and the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement to supply vehicles to the United States and Canada especially.
When BMW does announce the site of the plant - reportedly narrowed down to either Hidalgo or San Luis Potosi - it is tipped to work its way up to 100,000 vehicles per year at the new location, potentially to include the 3 Series as well as smaller, front-drive models, including Minis.

BMW 1 Series sedan prepares to fight Mercedes CLA, Audi A3

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

The entry-level premium sedan segment is pretty hot right now, with the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class doing well for their respective automakers here in the US. Of course, BMW has its 2 Series, but that's currently only available as a coupe, with a convertible bodystyle forthcoming. That all looks to change, however, as our spies recently caught BMW testing a four-door 1 Series sedan that seems to have the A3 and CLA clear in its sight.
BMW's entry-level four-door is expected to ride on the same front-wheel-drive UKL platform that we recently spied in Mini Countryman form. We're pretty sure this thing will launch under the 1 Series line (odds for sedans and wagons, evens for coupes and convertibles), but it's anyone's guess with BMW - after all, the five-door, front-drive Active Tourer wears a 2 Series nameplate.
Look for the 1 Series sedan to launch sometime in 2016 as a 2017 model. Better late than never in the entry-lux segment, we suppose.
