This is a dream car that I found after MANY years of searching. I will attach below the information I received from the previous owner which details the condition and specifications of the vehicle. Unfortunately, my new residence will not have a garage and I will have to let this classic E21 treasure fall into the hands of another BMW enthusiast to appreciate. This auction is for an imported E21 323i with many OEM Alpina appearance package. The headlights, grills, bumpers, emblems, exhaust, brakes, shocks(Bilstein}, camber settings, steering wheel, shift boot, seats, differential gearing, rear finish panel are all BMW OEM Alpina accessories. The car has a powerful 5-speed transmission, with good clutch. The undercarriage is mint; best I have ever seen out of my personal cars ever owned. You can still see blue in many places underneath & there are no worn or rusty areas. The body is in good condition with nice clear coat, no fading or peeling anywhere; no mismatched or blended panels. Chrome is all very very nice, no need for even chrome polish- shines very strong around all windows, bumpers, & moldings. The front kidney grill could be redone, but is only dull & may merely need to be polished. Other than this, the exterior does have a bubble forming by the quarter window smaller than a penny & there is a stress mark that won't show up in photos on the passenger side front fender. Vehicle comes with a sunroof, front and rear stress bar, battery in rear trunk for better weight distribution/performance, A/C needs to be recharged. This car comes with special Momo wheels and unique side skirts. The interior is blue with the exception of the front seats, which are black recaro. All manual options with no defects, radio has been removed. There are 2 cracks in the dash about an inch long each, but not unsightly looking. Carpet is extremely clean, as well as all knobs & accessories. Suspension is very solid, with no noises or kinks, handling is very firm in this light of a car & the exhaust is very BMW exotic, in my opinion. It can easily be related to the E46 M3 with full Supersprint. If you don't believe me, look up E21 Alpina on Youtube for reference of how vicious this exhaust sounds, I always gets compliments & looks. Car pulls strong through every gear, brakes are secure feeling, body & interior is something to be very proud of for given age. Actual mileage is unknown. Engine looks to be replaced with a M20 engine by a previous owner, as well as all headlights, brakes, control arm bushings, standard tower mounts, timing belts, water pump, tensioner, pulleys, intake gasket, crank sensor, slave clutch cylinder, battery before last winter, oil changes with synthetic oill, rear trailing arm bushings, guibo center driveshaft support & more. Vehicle has been driven to many events on the East Coast & Midwest area including up to Minnesota, Delaware, Michigan, & Virginia. Tail of the Dragon, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, etc. Never missed a beat & feels healthy at 85-90 mph on the expressway. This car has received placement at vintage shows, been acknowledged in PBMW magazine twice, Eurotuner, and Klutch Republic Magazine. Good luck bidding!

Will global automakers drop local JV partners if China's government says they can?
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Chinese economic policies could be in for a big change, as President Xi Jinping pushes the communist country to open its domestic markets even further. That could mean big things for the auto industry, especially when it comes to the country's far-reaching joint-venture system.
According to Chinese law, foreign automakers may only maintain a fifty-fifty partnership with their domestic counterparts. But with Jinping's push for openness leading to potential free-trade deals, that policy could be relaxed (or eradicated all together) in short order. What's an automaker to do?
Well, in BMW's case, stay the course. Automotive News Europe reports that, despite the grumblings about the JV policy changes, the German manufacturer has resigned its agreement with Brilliance through 2028. This is made doubly remarkable by the fact that BMW signed the extension over three years before it was set to expire.
2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe is ready for your favorite roads
Mon, 14 Jan 2013We've known about the ins and outs of the lovely BMW M6 Gran Coupe for a while now, but that doesn't mean we weren't happy to see the thing in the metal for the first time, here in Detroit.
The M-tuned Gran Coupe utilizes the same 4.4-liter forced-induction V8 that powers both the BMW M6 and the M5, with an output of 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. The fast four-door brings up 60 miles per hour in just 4.1-seconds - the same sprint time as the M6 coupe and a few tenths quicker than the M5 - and up to a limited top speed of 155 mph.
We love those performance figures - this is one new Bimmer that we're amped to get some seat time in - though we're not super crazy about the selection of chrome wheels on this particular show car. Tells us what you think about the hotted up Gran Coupe in comments, below.
2015 BMW X6 keeps it weird
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Say what you will about the BMW X6 - odd and ugly as it may be, it's actually been sort of successful for the German automaker. BMW has now sold some 250,000 examples of the X6 since its launch, and the company's fastback-crossover-coupe-whatever-thing gets a host of meaningful updates for the 2015 model year while not straying from its original mission.
Aside from its revised styling, most noticeably set apart by its larger, X5-inspired headlamps, the biggest update for the US-spec X6 is the addition of a rear-wheel-drive model, the sDrive35i. This trim joins the all-wheel-drive xDrive35i and xDrive50i, and since you should all be capable of decoding BMW's weird naming structure by now, you know this means the X6 will be offered with a choice of 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder and twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engines. Fuel economy figures have not been released yet, but BMW says the new powertrains are more efficient than before, mated exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission regardless of cylinder count.
Look for the updated X6 to hit US showrooms this fall, following its debut this week in Paris. Expect pricing to be revealed closer to the model's on-sale date. Have a look below for all of the details.
