What I have on offer is an extremely straight and rust free BMW e21 3-Series that I bought last year as a project and first car for my Nephew. The direction we chose was an Alpina tribute car. It is NOT an authentic Alpina, nor will you have to bid the $30K that real ones bring!
It came with the Sport steering wheel and BMW Leather seats made by Recaro. This is consistent with the car being the desirable "is" model, although I cannot be sure. It is wired for driving lights as well. I do not believe that it has a Limited Slip Differential at this time. What it does have are blacked out BMW factory issue 13" Alpina wheels accented in white & shod with incredibly sticky Yokohama AO48 tires with less than 200 miles on them! I also have a set of 15" Parralell 5-Spoke wheels with new Falken tires available to winning bidder at additional cost if desired. I will post a picture of one of those wheels as well as the car with the set mounted up prior to installation of graphics. Also comes with factory original full sized spare on a 5th 13" Alpina wheel and I think neither has ever seen use. Jack, lug wrench and full tool kit are there if you need them.
Car has been executed in a strict Black & White theme with all the side moldings, bumper, window trim, headlight rings, trunk lettering, wheels, etc. done in Black Satin. Attention to detail included tail light section being a solid unit and even the license plate bracket and frame are cooperating. The only thing shiny on the car are the emblems, kidney grill and lots of straight body panels in brilliant white.
Stereo is Sony Xplod with 4 new speakers, various trim bits inside follow theme outside. Car runs strong, has a custom free flow exhaust that makes good noises. It has been recently tuned including timing, fuel injection and valves adjusted. It gets 25-30 MPG, Passed CA smog in December, registration current and does not expire till 10/26/2013. Never overheats, A/C components removed by previous owner. Rear side markers removed, filled and finished prior to recent paint job. Currently installed up front are the highly desirable BBS air dam, low profile turn signal lenses and Euro high beams. Windshield is brand new as is window tint. Rack & Pinion steering bushings and lower control arms just replaced, followed by an alignment.
In conclusion: It's pretty, it's safe, it's reliable and fun to drive, especially in corners! It's also pretty slow (by modern standards), has flaws and is 30 years old. Parts are cheap and readily available. Whatever else it is or isn't is for you to decide, but winner should be prepared for lots of stares and approving gestures from everyone from kids on bicycles to drivers of M6's! You will never have to wonder which car is yours in the parking lot either. And before I forget, selling due to the Kid's newly acquired snowboarding obsession and the need for an AWD alternative to get him up the mountain when the snow flies!
Thanks for looking.

BMW names new head of M division
Wed, 24 Sep 2014BMW's performance division has been run by Dr. Friedrich Nitschke since 2011, developing, among other products, the new M3 and M4. But soon the good doctor will be retiring, and BMW has just named his successor.
Taking Nitschke's place as chairman of BMW M GmbH will be Franciscus van Meel (pictured at right), who until recently served as managing director of Audi Quattro GmbH - the rival outfit that makes Ingolstadt's performance models, including the R8 supercar and RS line of performance models.
Van Meel will join BMW on October 1, presumably to learn the ropes from Nitschke before the 59-year-old executive steps down at the end of the year. Back in January, Audi named Heinz Peter Hollwerweger as head of Quattro GmbH and reassigned van Meel to its Beijing R&D center, a role which evidently didn't suit him as well as creating Autobahn-storming German muscle cars.
BMW to offer carbon fiber wheels in a year or two
Sun, 23 Feb 2014The Citroën SM sat on the first set of production glass fiber and resin wheels in 1972 when parent company Michelin developed the exotic hoops in order to take the SM rallying. It wasn't until 2008 that we got the first all-carbon-fiber wheel for passenger cars in the form of a prototype model from Weds Sports in Japan that remained a prototype. Australian company Carbon Revolution followed that a year later with its CR-9 all-CF wheel, first introduced on the Shelby Ultimate Aero and now available for independent purchase for about $15,000 per set. BMW could be the first OEM to offer entire wheels in carbon fiber reinforced plastic in two years.
The wheels - either all-CFRP or using a CFRP rim and alloy spokes - were shown off during BMW's Innovation Days in Munich and are products of the development work done on its i-branded cars. The full-CFRP wheel is 35-percent lighter than a forged alloy wheel, the hybrid alloy and CFRP wheel is 25-percent lighter, making for a decent drop in unsprung rotating weight. As demonstrators during a tech day the wheels aren't yet in the pipeline for production and EU approval, but an article in Auto Express claims that they could be on the market as soon as two years from now.
Other possible parts include a full carbon fiber steering wheel and propeller shaft, the latter of which is coming as a single-piece component on the new M3 and M4. BMW is also talking up its use of secondary carbon fiber - waste material from i3 and i8 production - that can be used for items like IP support structures, seat frames and spare wheels in place of traditional metals like aluminum and magnesium. There's an excerpt of the Innovation Day press release below with more details.
2012 Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn offers a tutorial in cars to come
Sun, 19 Aug 2012The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is a showcase for some of the world's most exquisite vintage vehicles, but if newer metal is more your speed, the Concept Car Lawn is the place to be.
This year saw models from Bugatti, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, McLaren and Bentley as well as SRT, Hennessey, Infiniti and Lexus among others. The ultimate sampler platter of exotic and concept vehicles saw the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse mingle with the Lamborghini Urus Concept and the mighty Hennessey Venom GT, though we found ourselves particularly smitten with the BMW Zagato Roadster and the Aston Martin Vanquish.
Not that we could go wrong anywhere we looked. The 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed seemed perfectly content parked on the manicured putting green, as did the McLaren MP4-12C Spider. Get cozy with the full gallery below to see the smattering of metal on the lawn.
