Here's a gem for you...a beautiful, one-owner, metallic black (Black Sapphire Metallic) 2008 BMW 335i Convertible with a rare 6-speed manual transmission and lots of highly-desirable/tasteful modifications (almost $18,000 in modifications!).

I am selling this car with MAJOR regrets because this car is just flat-out fantastic and drives like a dream (don't want to sell, but need to make room for a future car). This car was purchased and ordered brand-new from the BMW factory in Germany and ordered exactly how I wanted it. Oh, man, this is painful!...whoever gets this car will be one lucky new owner!

To start, let's go through the "bad" news and the "good" news on this car:

First, here's the "bad" part: these were mainly cosmetic incidents and car looks amazing and was repaired by a well-respected, high-quality shop

- In 2008, car sustained hail damage during a freak hailstorm...it was fully repaired to practically brand-new condition at Wagonwork in Alexandria, VA...can't even tell it was ever dinged! (no re-painting was needed at all)

- In 2010, right front fender/wing cracked from going over a pothole...again, it was fully repaired/replaced and painted at Wagonwork in Alexandria, VA

Now, here's the GOOD stuff!...car is in excellent condition...pics included:

If you're looking for a 3-series convertible with style and pizazz, this is the car for you. The Eisenmann Race exhaust simply sounds amazing and yes, it will turn heads everywhere you go! And this car has a full suspension upgrade, sporting a full KW V3 adjustable coilover suspension, along with OEM BMW E92/93 front and rear sway bars/wishbones/guide rods/bushings/etc - this car handles like no other standard 3-series you've driven...nice, tight, precise, and firm...you just point-and-shoot and go where you need to go!

This car is for the true BMW enthusiast who wants an amazing Ultimate Driving Machine that you can enjoy with the top up or down - with all the handling, suspension, and braking upgrades you've always wanted in a luxury sports car - not to mention a car with the looks and sound to match its performance!

Must admit I'm already jealous of whoever ends up buying this car!

Watch this BMW take flight at Viru Rally

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

An E36 BMW 3 Series might be a good choice for a lot of purposes - a long road trip, a track day, rallycross, impressing your friends... but a full-on rally? It's rear-drive when the best rally machines are front- or all-wheel drive. But that didn't stop Pritt Koik and Alari-Uku Heldna from entering their stripped-out E36 in the Viru Rally in Estonia... or from getting some big air time when they did.
Fortunately the jump was not just caught on video... it was caught on video from three angles: two from the side of the rally stage and one from inside the cockpit. Check out all three below to see how this particular BMW got back into the aircraft business.

BMW recalls diesel X5 models over fuel filter heater

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

BMW has announced that it is recalling 1,540 examples of its 2009 and 2010 X5 xDrive35d crossovers produced between June 13, 2009 and November 9, 2009.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the model's fuel filter heater, which warms up the diesel fuel at low outside temperatures, can experience an electrical overload condition that may cause it to become permanently activated. This means the fuel filter heater could remain activated even when the ignition is off, which could lead to a dead battery. It could also lead to overheating, possibly resulting in a fire.

BMW recalling nearly 570,000 1 Series, 3 Series and Z4 models over electrical issue

Mon, 18 Feb 2013

BMW is recalling roughly 570,000 vehicles in the United States and Canada due to faulty battery cable connectors that can fail, causing the engines in these cars to stall. Of the nearly 570,000 affected vehicles, just over 504,000 are here in the US.
The affected vehicles include 1 Series coupes and convertibles (both 128i and 135i) from the 2008 to 2011 model years; 3 Series sedans, coupes, convertibles and sport wagons (both 328i and 335i) from the 2007 to 2011 model years; and Z4 roadsters from the 2009 to 2011 model years.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the connector for the positive battery cable connector and the corresponding terminal on the fuse box may degrade over time," which can eventually lead to a break in the electrical connection and a loss of power in the vehicle. If the car loses power, the engine can stall, which could possibly lead to a crash. The Detroit News reports that BMW knows of one minor collision in Canada as a result of this problem, but no injuries.
