Where do I begin?  My parents bought this car new from the BMW dealership in Chicago, IL in 1991.  My father has since passed and the car belongs to my 93 year old mother.  We live in Kansas City.  The reason they bought it in Chicago was that was the only dealership in the entire USA that had a red/black 325i with all factory options offered.  So, coordinated by the dealership in Kansas City, they flew to Chicago and drove the car back to KC.  The car is 100% original, including the original tires!  The car has never been damaged, never painted on, has never been driven in the snow, and only by accident was the car ever in the rain...twice!  My best guess is the top has been down no more than 10 times.  Only my wife and I have ridden in the backseat, and that was twice!  The car has been stored in my mother's garage with a car cover and battery tender attached.  I live very close to her, so I have tried to go over and start it and drive around the neighborhood over the years.  Each winter I have added gas stabilizer so the gas wouldn't go bad.  It starts right up, and seems to drive fine.  However, I think any buyer would want to change the original plugs and do a tune-up, filters and overall checkup.  The brake lining light comes on sometimes, but the car brakes fine...I cant imagine the brakes being bad with only a little over 16k miles...but the car has been driven very little in the last 10 years and in my opinion it should be gone through before any extensive driving. 

I cant express enough how nice this car is.  I am confident to say I cannot imagine there is another original, untouched one like it in the country!  This car deserves to be owned by someone that will continue to treat it as we have, just drive it a little more!  We do not want to sell it to someone looking for a daily driver!  It would be a shame to treat this wonderful little car any differently that it has come to know and expect from my mom and dad over the years!  The paint has a few swirl scratches in the clear coat from the car cover, but it still has a new car sheen to it.  If you would buff the paint with a polishing wheel, I think it would look like a brand new car, that's how nice it is. I purposely have not cleaned or detailed the engine compartment or interior.  I want a prospective buyer to see it untouched!  Like the paint, with a little attention the leather and dash will look like new!

If you want the best...YOU JUST FOUND IT!

BMW 2 Series, X5 get their M Performance parts on

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

BMW models come in a number of flavors, from their standard guises to M Sport variants and M Performance models to full-on M muscle machines. But if you want to pick and choose the degree to which you want your Bimmer upgraded along the path to M, BMW automaker offers its M Performance Parts line. The Bavarian automaker already offers these performance and stylistic add-ons for a number of models, and has now released new kits for both the 2 Series Coupe and the latest X5 crossover.
The catalog for the 2 Series includes an available lowered suspension kit, upgraded brakes, new alloys, carbon aero kit and interior trim enhancements. There's also a power kit available for the 220d model that squeezes out an extra 16 horsepower for a total of 200, and a limited-slip differential and exhaust silencer for the M235i.
Upgrades to the X5 crossover, meanwhile, also include a carbon aero kit and interior trim package. The X5 xDrive35i model also gets a power kit boosting output by 20 ponies to 326 hp and an exhaust silencer. Scope out the details in the pair of press releases below and the pair of high-resolution image galleries top and bottom.

VW Golf R pitted against BMW M235i in enthusiast's choice battle

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Most people don't have two, open spots in their garage to fit a practical daily driver and a fire-breathing performance car for the weekends. That's what makes vehicles like the latest Volkswagen Golf R and BMW M235i just about perfect for the average person. Both of these Germans can lope around as a commuter 90 percent of the time and be perfectly comfortable. However, when you want to walk in the door with a big smile on your face, you can take the back roads home and get a real thrill from them.
In his latest short video, Chris Harris from Drive tests these surprisingly comparable German performance cars. Both of them offer buyers in the neighborhood of 300 horsepower, with the BMW winning out with 320 hp. However, the Golf R gets standard all-wheel drive, which is now an option on the M235i. Harris has quite positive things to say about these Europeans, but you're going to have to watch the video to hear just what he thinks.

BMW 2 Series shows us its insides

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

We've already seen the upcoming BMW 2 Series testing in both coupe and convertible body styles, and now we're getting our first glimpse inside the new entry-level coupe. Judging by the sportier exterior that we've seen in previous spy shots, this car appears to be equipped with an M-Sport package, so this is likely not what the base interior will look like.
Compared to the current 1 Series, this new coupe will have cleaner cabin design including fewer buttons on the center stack and an instrument panel with more of a dual-brow design. This car has cloth seats with what appears to be a suede-like accent trim and blue stitching, and the seat's pattern is mimicked on the door panel. The 2 Series will also have a better integrated iDrive controller that operates the widescreen display mounted atop the instrument panel in a similar fashion as what we've seen recently on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and CLA-Class.
As mentioned about the exterior, the bigger wheels, blue brake calipers, dual exhaust outlet and subtle decklid spoiler all lead us to believe that this is the M-Sport, but it isn't sporty enough - inside or out - to make us think this is the rumored M2 model.
