 Beautiful 89 BMW 750 il. This was the first year of the BMW V/12. Smooth, solid power, runs and sounds great. This car belonged top a friend. I was with him when he got it, helped him maintain the car for years before buying it from him myself. I'm a car guy so I am always on top of maintenance. Only seeling the car because we just don't have space. We have 10 cars in an areas meant for 6 and we live in a gated community where we cannot park cars in the street or anywhere other than the driveway and garage. This is low car on the totem pole so sadly I need to let it go.

Car is in great condition, a few minor dings as can be expected from a 24 year old car but barely noticable. Interior is straight, no rips, tears, etc in the leather. Great condition inside and out. TSW staggered wheels, 19's rear, 18's front, color matched to car. Power front and rear seats, heated front seats, power windows, locks, mirrors, moon roof, dual zone climate control.

Car is in great mechanical and appearance condition. Runs well, idles well, does not over heat, shifts solidly, no transmission slipping, drives great. In economy mode, and if you don't stand on those 12 cylinders, the car will average about 20 on the freeway. Not lightning fast from a stop but once it gets moving, watch out. Easily passes most cars on the freeway, tons of power even from 80 mph and up. This car has 300 HP!!! Put the car in sport mode and at 80 on the freeway, mash the pedal down. You'll feel it push you back in your seat and in the blink of an eye you'll be at 120 and barely notice it. Awesome road trip car.

All new brakes, rotors, pads recently installed. Most of the rear suspension components have been replaced within the last year. Two new fuel filters within last year, new pumps last two years. Fuel pressure regulators, fuel injectors, entire fuel system checked and passed past few months. New strut cartridges in the front, have new upper and lower control arms for both sides including new ball joints to be replaced along with complete tie rod end assemblies for both sides. (almost a Grand in parts alone) Can refer you to local mechanic who can replace for very reasonable cost or you can do it yourself. If you decide to have it done right away, I have a lifetime alignment warranty on the car, I will take it to get it aligned for you for free after the components have been replaced.

Known issues are all minor and none of them affect the functionality of the car: Seam in seat of drivers side seat needs to be restitched, approximately 2 inches, leather is not torn though. Center link support bearing for drive shaft should be replaced. Every once in a while you can hear it thump. Not essential to driving the car, will not damage anything else to keep driving it, just annoying thump. There is a small leak in one of the lines for the rear suspension leveling system, System works but if you put hydraulic fluid in it you will have a puddle on the driveway. The bulbs in the instrument cluster which illuminate the LCD for odometer, etc are burnt out. You can see what it says and verify mileage with flashlight. Mechanic thought it would be easy to replace so he tried to pull it out, will not come out without removing steering wheel. After he put it back, left side of cluster which is where the speedo is works intermittently. Hit a bump it will work, hit another and it doesn't. Mechanic probably did not plug wires into cluster very well because issue only surfaced after he attempted to replace the bulbs. SRS (airbag)  light comes on, flashes, sometimes stays on solid. Mechanic said it is just a bad sensor, not worth worrying about. Would replace components for front suspension which are all included in the sale.

Essentially, a few little fixes (all the new parts except for the centerlink bearing are included in the sale) and you have a classic BMW that is a head turner, fun to drive and reliable.

This is really a great looking car. I get compliments on it every time I drive it, even at the country club it looks great parked in the valet with the newer cars and I get asked about it all the time from clients and others. The neighbor down the street asked for a while about buying it before he found one of his own (I wasn't looking to sell it then) and I'm not telling my 15 and a half year old son yet that I'm selling it because I know he wants it and secretly thinks he is getting it.

BMW working with Dainese to put airbags in motorcycle suits [w/video]

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

Addressing the safety concerns of its customers, BMW Motorrad is co-developing a rider suit with Dainese to feature something that's much more common in automobiles: airbags.
Starting with Dainese's D-air Protect System, which is made up of inflatable protectors that deploy in 15 milliseconds, the two companies will integrate the technology into a BMW Motorrad brand, one-piece racing suit, the DoubleR RaceAir. Later a different, street-oriented airbag system that can be retrofitted to bikes will be offered to Beemer riders.
The DoubleR RaceAir is expected to be presented at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan in November, after all required crash testing has been completed.

BMW i8 headed to Frankfurt

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

According to Edmunds, BMW will reveal its production i8 hybrid sports car at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. The i8 is the second vehicle to come from the automaker's new "i" initiative, following the debut of the smaller i3 hatchback last month.
The BMW i8 makes its debut nearly four years after the original Vision EfficientDynamics concept bowed at the Frankfurt expo in 2009. The production car is expected to use a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that drives the rear wheels, coupled to an electric motor that drives the front wheels. Combined output is said to be something like 393 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, based on our earlier reports. The i8 is also expected to be very light, with curb weight coming in somewhere around 3,125 pounds. Finally, the i8 is said to have a pure electric range of 20 miles, and should be able to hit 62 miles per hour in just under five seconds.
Other publications had the chance to ride along in the i8 (in prototype form) and came away impressed. We're hoping we'll feel the same when the car officially goes on sale sometime in early 2014. Stay tuned for more at the i8's official unveiling in just a few weeks.

This is the BMW Z4 GTE that will wear the Roundel in ALMS

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

The Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway are a month of racing and reveals, with the season's metal going for the flag at races like the Rolex 24 at Daytona and other cars being introduced to the public. In the latter category is the BMW Z4 GTE (click the image above to enlarge) joining the American Le Mans Series GT class this year with BMW Team RLL (Rahal, Letterman and Lanigan). This machine replaces the M3 GT that completed four years of service and won the class title in 2010 and 2011. Naturally, the team is tempering expectations for the Z4 GTE by repeating the fact that it sees this season as a development year.
BMW Team RLL drivers for its two cars will be Bill Auberlen and series rookie Maxime Martin in the No. 55, aided by Jörg Müller for the endurance races at Sebring and Road Atlanta. The No. 56 car gets Dirk Müller on a full-time basis, Joey Hand when he's not competing in the DTM series, and John Edwards when Hand isn't available. Uwe Alzen will help out with driving duties in the No. 56 at endurance races.
