Up for auction is my 1981 BMW 320i. I have driven the car daily for the last 2 years and it has been very dependable, especially considering the age of the vehicle. The car accelerates very smoothly clear through to red line. It has been the most fun car to drive that I have owned. I drive this car often on trips that are over 100 miles long and would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. I hate to see it go but it is time for something larger. I believe I am the 3rd or 4th owner of the car and it was originally sold in California then brought here to Ohio in the mid 90's. The previous owner was a collector and he painted the car the Deep Orange color that it is today. He also installed the scorpion all stainless steel exhaust, Bavarian autosport short shift kit, and K&N filter on the car. The bumpers were also converted to sit closer to the body for a much cleaner look (similar to euro spec cars). Car was originally a dark brown color that is still in the trunk and engine compartment. Paint is very shiny and the car draws attention where ever it goes. Be prepared for conversation as people seem to have their own stories to tell about these cars. It has 120,000 miles and the engine runs strong with no leaks. I have put on new thermostat, clutch slave and master cyl, cold air injector, fuel regulator, and the fuel distributer was recently rebuilt. Emergency light switch is working! Tune-up maintenance items recently put on include new plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Oil was just changed and new MANN filter is on the car. Ready to drive home today and begin enjoying! The KBB value has continued to rise over the last few years since I purchased the car. Very clean car overall with slight rust just below the rear window, inside of trunk. Interior is nearly in showroom condition with just a few small cracks on the dash. I have Bavarian autosport velour front seat covers that are included in the sale . Head Turner! Car has not been in an accident. Autocheck shows an police report that came when I backed into a farmers driveway and missed the drive. It slid off the drive into a small ditch and had to be pulled out by a wrecker. Homeowner called the sheriff and this is the "accident" that shows up on autocheck. So happy biddy!! All sales are local with pickup to be done by winning bidder within 5 days of auction ending. A $500 deposit is required after auction closes. Please contact me with any questions as I would be happy to answer any questions you have about my car.

BMW sets Guinness record for longest drift with new M5 [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013In September of 2011, Chinese drifter Wang Qi broke the Guinness record for the world's longest sustained drift, doing 13 laps inside the Olympic Center Stadium in Tianlin, China for 5,802.3 meters. That was broken in February of this year by Abdo Feghali in Abu Dhabi drifting a new Chevrolet Camaro around a skidpad for 11,180 meters - almost seven miles. In March, BMW decided it wanted the record "back in the US," and set up a course at its BMW Performance Driving School near Greenville, South Carolina to get the job done. On May, 11 it was Mission Accomplished when Performance Center driver Johan Schwartz drifted an M5 around a skidpad continuously for 51.3 miles.
Despite that accomplishment, we're pretty sure that professional drifter Vaughn Gittin, Jr. isn't impressed. The way Guinness defines "drifting" can also describe a donut, which is effectively the kind of drifting that's been done for these last three records. BMW went even further by watering down the surface of the track, reducing the skill required and the need to change tires during the effort. On the other hand, you can't drift a car for long in a straight line, but perhaps there should be some clarification or classifications added to the milestones.
There's a short video below taken during the record-breaking run, and a press release from the company that did it.
BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
First Ride: 2015 BMW M3 and M4
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Getting Our Butts In The Seats
Both the non-M BMW 3 Series sedan and 4 Series coupe have so far brought much pleasure to us at Autoblog. The terrific four-cylinder 328i trim has become our favorite of the 3 Series line, while we have yet to get a chance at the 428i coupe. That said, the 35i trim powered by a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine is not exactly to be sniffed at.
We all know the ones you're really waiting for, though. The F80 fifth-generation M3 sedan and the supremely sexy F82 M4 coupe. Rumors have been buzzing for a couple of years now that the engine would be another V8, only turbocharged this time, or else a tri-turbo six. Well, today BMW confirmed that the mill under the hood's power bulge is a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo of the biturbo variety, referred to internally as "S55B30 variant."
