I purchased this as a Certified Pre-Owned BMW from the dealer with 12,000 miles on it and have owned it for twelve years and driven it for 163,000 miles. This is the final year of the 12 cylinder in the e38 body style. I never liked the new BMW body style. This car has every available option on it in the 2001 model year including the rare M Sport Package with 18" M parallel spokes alloy wheels looking for 235/50 ZR18 in front and superwide 255/45 ZR 18 Michelin Pilot Sport in rear. Good tread remains on all 4. The car has special 3/8 thick security safety glass, massage front seats, sunshades on all windows including automatic telescoping in rear. I love this car and have maintained it impeccably over the years including regular oil changes and maintenance. Major improvements include having Erickson Industries (Connecticut) rebuild the factory ZF transmission and torque converter which was installed in 2010 ($7,500), upgraded the BMW Mach II Navigation system to a super-fast BMW Mach IV Navigation system (DVD driven) from a new M5 with a widescreen 4:3 display which is plug and play and fully integrated into the BMW controls ($1,800) and a new dual heater core installed in 2012. The car has been garaged but does have two small areas of rust. One is on the bottom corner of the passenger-side door and the other is on the passenger side rear fender well lip.
Performance Electronics in NH has installed a K40 Radar detector and laser jammer ($2,400). Completely concealed and detects and jams up front and detects from the rear. Saved my butt many times as I drive the highway a lot. Works great.
So why am I selling?? After driving "The Ultimate Driving Machine" for many years I finally got excited when I test-rode the Tesla Model S. I bought one and it is due to be delivered soon. Unfortunately, Tesla does not offer a fair trade-in program since they are based in California and I am in Massachusetts so I decided to sell it directly to someone who will enjoy it. Very reasonably priced with a low reserve and a low Buy it Now price for the person that just wants to grab it and enjoy it for a great price.
On Jun-08-13 at 10:41:56 PDT, seller added the following information:
A bidder asked about the accident listed. My fianc'e drove the car home and pulled into the driveway and misjudged the length of the car and pushed into a snowbank which turned out to be ice. It broke the lip spoiler on the front of the car (where the fog lights are located). The lip spoiler had to be replaced with BMW new parts and repainted at a cost of about $2,000. She hasn't driven the car since.

Behind the scenes of BMW's 'Drift Mob,' Part 1
Sat, 28 Jun 2014Generally speaking, marketing and journalism don't mix, but every now and then, what goes into the marketing of a car - the 2015 BMW M235i, in this case - is worth documenting. In that spirit, we took BMW up on its offer to bring us behind the scenes of its upcoming "drift mob" video, starring five red M235i coupes frolicking around a traffic circle in a major world city (BMW has asked us to be coy about which one so as not to blow its cover before the shoot).
The five drivers can all be considered legends of modern-day drifting and stunt driving: Rhys Millen, Samuel Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford and Conrad Grunewald.
As the only US media outlet in attendance, Autoblog plans to follow up with a full story on the experience once BMW polishes and releases the video in a month or so. In the meantime, check out our photos of this epic practice session we captured on our first day hanging with the crew, and be sure to watch this space for more behind-the-scenes action.
BMW says SUVs killed the sports car market
Thu, 13 Nov 2014In many ways, we're living in a golden age of automotive performance. After all, it's possible to show up at a Dodge dealer, hand over about $60,000 and storm away with a 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat. Or for those who prefer a touch more luxury, the BMW M4, Mercedes-AMG C63 and latest Cadillac ATS-V offer between 425 and 503 horsepower, depending on your pick, with a bit more poshness. However, none of these powerful vehicles fit the classic definition of a two-place, droptop sports car, and according BMW head of sales Ian Robertson, that's because the segment is very much in the doldrums.
According to Robertson, two factors seriously wounded the classic sports car market. First, the global economic crisis of a few years ago put a serious hurt on sales, according to Bloomberg. Further worsening the situation, the boom in popularity of luxury SUVs and crossovers in the past few years hasn't allowed for much recovery. Even car-hungry China hasn't helped much because of the smog in many cities and preference among some of the very rich there to be chauffeured.
Combined, Audi TT, BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz SLK sales peaked around 114,000 units a year in 2007, but they are only expected to reach 72,000 annually by the end of the decade. Robertson is pretty pessimistic about the market's comeback too. "Post-2008, it just collapsed. I'm not so sure it'll ever fully recover," he said to Bloomberg.
Two rare Alpina BMWs given the Petrolicious treatment
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Alpina is getting more and more ink because of because of that rolling cannonade known as the B7 and its closer ties with BMW. The company's tuning business dates to 1962 when Burkard Bovensiepen began fiddling with Weber carburetors, then his company began racing in 1968 and was eventually certified as an automaker in 1983.
Two of its rarer specimens from those early years have gotten a glance from the folks at Petrolicious: the E24 B10 and E24 B7S. Based on the BMW 6 Series, the Alpina versions made one of the most special coupes from the Eighties even more so. According to the video, there were only 44 B10s made, and the turbocharged, 333-horsepower B7S - this was in a luxury coupe in 1982, mind you - saw only 33 examples produced.
You won't be sorry to find out more about them - and see how they run - in the Petrolicious video below.
