This BMW is an original same owner low mileage survivor for 31 years!  I am the 2nd owner.  The original owner drove the car regularly only during the first few years of ownership, after which it was garaged and serviced regularly, but driven only on occasion. Mileage is verifiable 50k, and a recent mechanical inspection reveals that everything is in top condition save for an intermittently sticking fuel gauge.

All panels and paint are original and overall in excellent condition except for a few normal paint chips & scratches which I had professionally touched up. In addition, paint as photographed shows no evidence of oxidization.  The rest of the exterior is clean, shiny metal, unfaded, uncracked rubber, and tight fit.  Quick to tarnish details like stainless window trim and wiper arms show no rust, discoloration, or other problems normally stemming from long periods of storage. The only other small flaw is a rock chip low on the front windshield just about the window wiper.

The interior presents as close to new condition, with no obvious signs of age or use. This is a nice optioned example, specs include vinyl, A/C, AM/FM stereo, fog lights and sunroof. The dash shows no cracking, warping, or discoloration, and switchgear and instruments are also nicely preserved.  The only non-stock item is a discreet remote control for the trunk-mounted CD player.  This system can easily be removed.  The head unit itself remains OEM.

Mechanically speaking, this 320i is extremely well sorted with strong maintenance records dating back to 1990.  Mileage is verified by service receipts and state inspection documents dating from 2000, 2003, 2005, and 2007, as well as a 2000 receipt from Sears for a new battery.  Original paperwork includes a roadside service program brochure, various salestime pamphlets and the owners manual. The engine compartment still retains all of its original stickers and labels throughout!  A/C has been converted to R134a, and works great!  Tires have very few miles, and although not pictured, the wheel wells and underside areas are also very clean with absolutely no signs rust anywhere! 

Please note: auto check report shows that the car has been in a minor accident. I talked to the original owner and it was not in any kind of fender accident what so ever!  He said he rolled over something in the road back in 1991, and dented the oil pan slightly. So he reported it to his insurance company to have the oil pan replaced.  

true survivor car that has been pampered its entire life!  Well optioned 5 speed manual transmission, with AC, Sunroof, Fog Lights, AM/FM Stereo, along with its great color combo!  A very difficult find in this original condition! 

This car has also been accepted and featured on the BaT (Bring A Trailer) site, exclusive section!

BMW i8 official images leak ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

The new BMW i8 plug-in electric supercar isn't set to make its official debut until September 10, when it will glide onto the Frankfurt Motor Show stage amidst a sea of flash photography. Of course, that isn't so true in today's world, where debuts are always preceded (often carefully) by "leaks."
Take this trio of images of the BMW i8 - there's just enough of the exterior on display in the profile shot to draw attention, without showing important styling points that might be present on the front or back of the car. The same goes for the video attached below. The cabin shot is cool, but isn't particularly earth-shattering when it comes to BMW interiors. As for the skeletal shot, we can see the 1.5-liter, turbocharged engine positioned between the rear axles, the battery pack found in what would be the transmission tunnel and the front-mounted electric motors.
We'll have a full set of live images when the BMW i8 makes its debut in Frankfurt next week. Until then, have a look in the gallery and at the video below, and let us know what you think of BMW's next big thing.

BMW M4 Concept bows, takes handoff from M3 Coupe

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Remember how, when the first BMW M4 Concept images leaked earlier today, we told you the official information would be coming later this evening? Well, scratch that. The whole kit and caboodle is now online, meaning all the official details are below, as well as a full gallery of high-res images above.
The replacement for the M3 Coupe, the Concept M4 Coupe shares a number of styling similarities with its dearly departed forbearer. To us, it's kind of like a mishmash of greatest hits from the new 4 Series and the old M3. The 4 Series headlights have grown on us, and the side grilles, which are part of BMW's Air Curtain and Air Breather system, are functional.
The power dome in the hood is smaller than on the M3, but is of a similar shape, while the rear diffuser and exhaust treatment look like they're lifted straight from the old car, aside from being finished in carbon fiber. Speaking of which, the carbon fiber roof sports a new touch, a cool BMW M tri-color that runs the length of the roof on the driver's side. The 20-inch M alloy wheels come in a twin five-spoke design, which has sort of become a calling card of BMW's M cars in recent years. Hiding behind those meaty wheels are M's carbon-ceramic brakes.

Dinan S3-R BMW 1M Coupe

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

I nearly shed tears a few years ago upon learning that BMW was only planning to produce a very limited quantity of its then-new 2011 1 Series M Coupe. In simplest terms, the two-door was a 1 Series fitted with a modified version of the automaker's twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, and the running gear (gearbox, driveshaft, axles) from contemporary M3 models. It was also a return to form for the brand. Aggressively short and stubby in stature but packing telltale flared wheel arches that hinted at its potential, the four-seater was a spiritual successor to the original (and much loved) E30 M3 from decades earlier.
After spending a day with the original high-performance 1 at New York's Monticello Motor Club, I declared, "The little coupe with the big flares is old-school retro cool and deliciously fun to drive ... the new BMW 1 Series M Coupe doesn't target boy-racers, it targets enthusiasts." Yet sadly - and despite strong demand - BMW limited the model's production to just one year. All told, only 740 units made it to the States, and each was gobbled up at a starting price of $46,135, a price tag history will show to be a bargain.
Since I had little hope of even driving one again, I deliberately pushed all memories of BMW's 1 Series M Coupe from my mind - until my phone rang recently. On the other end was a representative from Dinan Engineering who wanted to know if I would be interested in driving the company's new S3-R BMW 1M. A quick Google search revealed it to be a heavily modified version of the discontinued 1 Series M Coupe. As if they needed an answer...
