2007 Bmw 3-series on 2040-cars
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
2007 BMW 335i e92 with 51,xxx miles. It’s space grey with saddle leather. I have owned it about 2 ½ years and the only thing I have changed is the oil and about three months ago I had a new oem battery installed at my local BMW dealership. The car runs great. The car has a clean carfax with no accidents and a clear title which I have in hand. There are no liens on the title. I purchased it from a BMW dealership and I am the third owner. It had about 43K on it when I bought it. The last owner worked at the BMW dealership so he had the brakes/rotors replaced and all maintenance performed on it before I bought it. I have pictures of all system codes which show the remaining mileage before needing service. It has the sport package, premium package and cold weather package. I put 19” VMR 710’s in gunmetal with Nexen tires on it last year and only have about 3K on the tires/wheels. There are no marks at all on the wheels and they have the TPMS in them. The paint is in great shape for a 2007. All of the marks on the car were done before I bought it. There are a few small scratches on the front bumper (see pic), a small door ding on the passenger door that is only visible when you look down the side of the car and move your head, and the biggest marks are on the rear bumper. It looks as though license plate bolts hit the rear bumper. It appears as though someone tried to repair one mark. I did not see the marks when I bought it and of course, the dealership said the company that transported it must have done it. I’m not sure, but I have never had it fixed. Since there really isn’t any bodywork needed to fix it, (just paint) I was quoted $400 to fix that and the scratches in the front bumper. You can’t really see the marks in the pictures. The interior is in great shape. The back seats and passenger seat look brand new. The driver’s seat looks good as well.

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 rethinks all-wheel-drive M cars
Fri, 04 Oct 2013BMW M hasn't been able to decide whether it wants to jump on the all-wheel-drive bandwagon or not (with the exceptions of the X5 M and the X6 M, which are based on AWD architecture). That might be changing though, since M's president Friedrich Nitschke recently realized that 70 to 80 percent of Mercedes-Benz E63 AMGs are ordered with all-wheel drive. Earlier this year, Nitschke said that there were no new AWD M models planned, so this comes as somewhat of a surprise.
"On our cars we are thinking of all-wheel drive, but it won't come before we get the successor of the M5 and M6," Nitschke said in a Motoring report. "That's the timing and it's not practical to react in the current life cycles."

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
