Up for auction is my 1990 BMW 325ix. My wife and I just had our 2nd child and there just isn’t room for 2 car seats in this fun little car so I’m having to sell it. Here are the basics and some photos, please e-mail with any questions but the point of this for me is to SELL THE CAR. If you know about these cars, they are rare with AWD, 4 doors and a 5-speed. I bought the car in February 2010 with approximately 144,000 miles from the second owner, who kept it at his country house for occasional drives on weekends. It’s been driven mainly as a fun winter car (I call it the “Snow Leopard” because of the superb winter handling of its always-on 4WD, it's truly fun to drive). It is 23 years old and is all-original, original paint, interior, wheels, lights, etc. The only modifications from stock is an M-series shift knob installed in 2011 (original shift knob will be included with the car) and a Yakima roof rack (also includes roof basket, not pictured). It has been well maintained and it's wonderful to drive. All mechanical systems work great; engine, transmission, brakes, steering, clutch, lights, horn, radio, etc., etc., great sporty exhaust note. It loves the area between 3-4000 rpm's. I would not hesitate to drive this car any distance. The interior is remarkable for a 23 year old car, probably among the best you’ll see in a used 325ix that hasn't been fully restored. It has standard seats and a driver’s air bag. No wear, holes or cracks in any of the seats, front or back. No cracks in dash or holes in anything. The exterior is nice, AND ORIGINAL. It has a few rust spots and a few dents, as seen in the pictures, the size of a quarter or less, and some rock chips but no damage. The front bumper has a small piece chipped off and there is a chip in the passenger turn signal light cover and a crack in the driver fog lamp cover. No chips in the windshield and all of the glass is in good condition. The BMW logos are original and faded and the rear logo is a bit dented. It has the original tool kit in the trunk. It is missing 2 of the 4 center wheel caps, as seen in the pictures. Here's what it needs: Remember, this is a 23 year-old car, in remarkably good condition, runs and drives great! You can just keep on going. However, if you wanted to do a complete makeover, here's what I found that could use attention: Probably refinish the wheels, they are showing their age. Tires will get you at least another year or so. The power antenna does not go all the way down as seen in the photos. The power mirrors do not operate. A/C works, but is not very cold, may need to be serviced or recharged. I typically drive this car in the winter, so I don't often use the A/C. The LCD screen on the clock computer exploded so it’s hard to read. That's about it. I'm sure if you looked really hard you could find more faults with it because it's how old? Right, 23 years old! Repairs in recent years since I’ve owned it: New timing belt, spark plugs, water pump, thermostat, front sway-bar bushings and links - 144,600 miles (February 2010) Replaced oil pan (due to crack) - 145,400 miles (March 2010) Buyer is responsible for transportation. The car can be driven away with proper plates and documentation or I can assist truck/transport drivers ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE. I have a job, travel sometimes and am a busy person, so this car is being sold here on E-Bay to the highest bidder rather than take weeks or months with another site. Please e-mail and ask questions, if you are nearby you are welcome to come see and drive the car (according to my schedule) before bidding. This car will be sold to the highest bidder at the end of the auction. If you are unsure, don't bid. If you don't have the money, don't bid. If you live far away and haven't thought about shipping or picking up the car, don't bid. I am trying to sell the car and not have to re-list it. Thanks for looking - and bidding!!
Deposit of $500 via PayPal due within 24 hours of auction close. Full payment required in cash within 7 days of auction close.

2014 BMW X5 recalled over faulty child-safety locks
Tue, 27 May 2014BMW is set to recall some 6,400 of its new-for-2014 X5 SUVs built between December 12, 2013 and March 10, 2014 due to concerns that the child safety locks, if set, might deactivate without warning. The problem affects only those vehicles with the automatic soft-closing option.
According to the bulletin issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the lock mechanism on the rear doors "may not have been manufactured to correct tolerances," meaning the safety locks could disengage with a simple pull of the door handle. Basically, with a pair of tugs, the rear doors could be opened from the inside, regardless of child safety locks.
BMW is in the process of notifying owners of affected vehicles. Any necessary repairs will be conducted free of charge. Take a look below for the official press release from NHTSA.
BMW confirms new Mexican plant
Thu, 03 Jul 2014After over a year of speculation, BMW is finally officially announcing that it's building a factory in Mexico. The new plant will cost the German automaker roughly $1 billion US and will have a capacity of about 150,000 vehicles a year when complete. However, production won't begin there until 2019.
The new factory is being built near the city of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, with plans to employ about 1,500 people. Unfortunately, BMW is still mum about which models it's producing south of the border. Earlier rumors indicated the possibility of the 3 Series, 1 Series and maybe even Mini models there.
BMW says Mexico's multiple free trade agreements are a major factor in the choice of location of the plant. They make it possible for the automaker to ship models more cheaply to North America, parts of South America and the European Union. "The Americas are among the most important growth markets for the BMW Group. We are continuing our strategy of 'production follows the market,'" said Harald Krueger, the board's head of production, in the company's official announcement.
BMW M235i in circuit scrap with legendary E46 M3 CSL
Fri, 25 Apr 2014Earlier this month, we brought you news that BMW's one-year wonder, the 2011 1 Series M Coupe, is actually trading for more money today than it did when new. That sort of short-term appreciation is a major rarity with modern production cars, but apparently it's not the only BMW enthusiast coupe to enjoy far-above-average residual values. The not-for-North America 2004 M3 CSL, itself a single-year offering, apparently also fits that description, as we've just learned from Auto Express.
The M3 CSL ruled overseas BMW showrooms a decade ago, with just 1,400 examples built. Based on the well-regarded E46 M3, the rare two-door was relieved of extraneous bits for improved track work and driver fidelity, coming in at around 240 fewer pounds than a garden-variety M3. With carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic bodywork, thinner glass and a lot less sound insulation, the CSL was one of the more raucous cars of its day. Like the 1M Coupe, it was also one of the more connected cars of the era, with a retuned suspension, quicker steering, and a bit more power than its brethren.
As Auto Express points out, a good used one commands about the same money as a brand-new 2014 M235i - the closest thing BMW makes to a 1M Coupe today - which makes this video track battle an interesting new-versus-used showdown. According to AE, a well-sorted used M3 CSL will run UK consumers anywhere between £30,000 and £35,000 - roughly $50,000 to $59,000 US. That's a massive premium over the $10k-17k British buyers can expect to shell out for a comparable standard M3, similar to the story that plays out for the 1M versus lesser 1 Series variants.
