With Winter in full swing, this car stays in the garage mostly....just driven occasionally on nice days.
Rare Euro-spec M635csi with 120K miles. I am the third owner, and an avid enthusiast of the E24, E28, and E30. I'm hoping this car goes to a similar buyer.
I have higher resolution pictures available on request. All maintenance, including regular fluid changes, has been done by the same reputable shop for the past decade and the receipts are available. Car has recently passed Missouri safety inspection.
Maintenance history: Top-end rebuild at 88,000 miles: Head removed and cleaned, double valve spring replacement, new valve seats, new valves, and chain tensioner. Timing chain itself replaced at 115,000 miles. The car runs better than new and oil remains amazingly clean between changes. All the usual replacement parts have been taken care of, as this car has been actually DRIVEN and maintained as a regular driver - brake and clutch hydraulics, all the rubber bits - bushings and mounts, fan clutch, cap and rotor, Bilstein shocks on rear, rear subframe, A/C compressor, antenna motor, and many other parts replaced whenever needed. Most importantly, regular fluid changes including coolant to ensure cooling efficiency over time.
Professional Repaint: It's original Arctic Blau color two years ago. No rust issues except surface rust around the battery housing. No chips, no rash, no dents. One minor scrape and repaired crack on lower right corner of the front air dam. A very small pea-size ding on the driver's side door, about 2 inches from the bottom that is hard to see unless you are looking down the side of the car. The leather Recarro seats are in great shape (no rips).
Modifications: Professionally installed new stereo 2 years ago with USB for MP3 or iPod, and Rockford Fosgate 6" round speakers were installed in the rear pods, 4X6 replacements up front. Original metric wheels were replaced with 16 inch Borbet 5 spoke wheels by the previous owner.
Extra parts: Free flow cat, if you need it in your state
Minor issues:
It has two small cracks in the dash that are not easily visible (near the vents).
Driver side rear side window is difficult to roll up if it is rolled down (not impossible, but a little tricky). Good rule to follow: Don't roll it down.
Trunk spring is not attached. If you lift the trunk all the way it stays open on it's own, but as you lower it you will want to lower it gently so it doesn't drop.
Vent sliders need new plastic nobs. I personally like the look of the sliders and the little lights without the big clunky nobs but they can be easily replaced.
Payment terms: Cash or certified bank check only. Buyer arranges shipping. Please no more phantom bidders or scammers wanting to wire money - you people are so tiresome!

Rolls-Royce sketching out SUV for possible 'late 2017' release
Wed, 14 May 2014With each new story on the Rolls-Royce SUV, the Goodwood automaker comes off as more at ease with their reluctantly birthed yet necessary sport ute. Company design chief Giles Taylor told Autocar that his team is still "sketching to assess the viability of the concept," which to ours ears means they're trying to figure out if such a beast is even possible within the confines of the brand. If it is, Taylor says it will be "a shooting brake, not a crossover with a sloping roof. A proper SUV."
A different company source, unnamed, seems confident that Taylor's team will figure it out, telling the magazine it would start at 200,000 pounds ($335K US). However, that same source said the vehicle will be "a kind of Mercedes-GLK-plus-plus," which is a baffling description in several ways. More reasonable is the speculation that it will ride on Ghost, not Phantom, architecture and make its debut sometime around late 2017.
That Ghost platform is expected to take cues from the carbon, aluminum and steel bones that supported the BMW Vision Future Luxury concept shown at the Beijing Motor Show and destined for the 9 Series. Some of those tricks will also go into the next-generation Phantom, which Autocar says will come in 2017 and not 2020.
BMW i3 gets official worldwide
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Even though we recently drove a near-production version of the BMW i3, the car still wore light exterior and interior camouflage. Today, BMW took off that little bit of camo and made a big announcement: The i3 will go on sale in the US for $41,350 in the second quarter of 2014. That does not include any state or federal incentives that could lower the price or the $925 destination fee. The i3 will debut with three trim levels, which BMW is referring to as Worlds: Mega (standard in the US), Giga and Tera.
The BMW i3 is chock-full of new technology afforded by its design as an EV from the start of development, which has resulted in a vehicle layout unique to the i3. BMW has named it LifeDrive architecture, and it features the Life Module and the Drive Module. The Life Module is the i3's pillar-less passenger cell, which is the first mass-produced monocoque made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The tougher-than-steel material is also 30-percent lighter than aluminum, which contributes to the i3's relatively light weight of 2,700 pounds (preliminary US figure) and, in turn, increases its energy efficiency. Expect more of this technology to find its way into future BMWs.
The Drive Module, a 100-percent aluminum chassis mounted under the Life Module, houses everything that makes the i3 go. It includes the 22-kilowatt, 450-pound lithium ion battery mounted as centrally as possible, and provides power to a rear-mounted electric motor that turns the rear wheels. With 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque from zero rpm, the single-gear i3 can accelerate from 0-30 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and 0-60 mph in about 7.0 seconds, but it has a top speed of only 93 mph. BMW says the i3 has a real-world EV range of 80-100 miles, and the standard charger can fill the battery in three hours. Opt for the SAE DC Combo Fast Charger and 30 minutes is all it takes for a full charge; 20 minutes will bump the battery to 80 percent. For customers who have range anxiety, BMW gives them the option to install a 34-hp, 650cc two-cylinder generator as a range extender for the electric drive system.
BMW considering North American engine plant?
Fri, 13 Dec 2013BMW may be set to expand its US operations with a new engine plant, Bloomberg reports. The Bavarian automaker already has its Spartanburg, SC factory which builds the company's X3, X5 and X6 crossovers. According to the story, Mexico is also under consideration for the BMW engine factory, with the report claiming a final decision will be made in 2014.
"Establishing local motor manufacturing abroad is more complex than assembling cars, but it's a logical step for them to eventually start making engines in markets where they're expanding vehicle production," Juergen Pieper, an analyst for Bankhaus Metzler tells Bloomberg. Building engines in the US or Mexico would save BMW from having to ship engines for some of its most popular models across the Atlantic.
BMW, for its part, hasn't said anything concrete. Spokesman Mathias Schmidt is quoted in the story saying, "As part of our long-term growth strategy, we're frequently looking at different countries for possible locations of future production facilities. No decisions have been made yet, though, for an additional plant."
