Point Pleasant, West Virginia, United States
2004 330xi BMW with 130,071 miles, 6 speed manual transmission, 6 cly. motor PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE BIDDING! My son bought this car on a Friday. Drove it about 50 miles. It ran good drove good. Had the front brakes changed and changed the oil on Saturday morning. My son then headed to Huntington in this car. He called me and said right front wheel locked up on him about 5 files down the road. I just figured it was somehow related to new brakes on front end. I took my mechanic to look at it and the brakes were fine. When trying to drive it it would lock the right front wheel up on it then it would release then lock front wheel up again. Driving it in the parking lot it would not lock-up in reverse. So I ask a friend of mine if he cared if I put it at his place until I could get somebody to look at it.I drove the car down the road to friends lot in reverse. Ran good and did not lock up. when I got to friend's lot it over-heated. Do not know why. Motor will not turn over. My loss is your gain, The car has hail damage not too noticable. Car has navigational system. Leather interior Nice Nice vehicle. Please call 304-675-7773 with any questions, Do not e-mail I will not answer them Just call me at 304-675-7773 and leave a message if no answer and I will call you back! You are welcome to come and look at car anytime. Will need to be picked up on trailer or rollback. The only thing I can think of why the front right wheel locked up has something to do with all-wheel drive. I am not a mechanic so you are buying this car knowing it will need motor and work done to it. It would also make a nice parts car. Nice seat and interior. CALL ONLY 304-675-7773I require $200.00 deposit to pay pal within 24 hours and the car needs to be picked up within 7 days and balance paid in cash.

BMW 1 Series getting a small nose job
Tue, 06 Aug 2013As BMW prepares to launch its new 2 Series lineup, it appears that the current 1 Series is going to get a little attention for itself. Based on these spy photos, the 1 Series hatchback (F20/F21), which is not offered in the US, will be getting a minor facelift in the near future.
From what we can see in these images, the updated 1 Series will definitely be getting a tweaked front end, with most of the attention focusing on the air intakes and grille. Our shooter tells us that it is possible that the headlights may yet be reworked in some way by the time we see this car in production form. It still isn't clear if we'll ever see this bodystyle or the next-gen 1 Series in the US, but our most recent report seems to indicate that the car's fortunes will depend somewhat on how well the Mercedes CLA-Class and Audi A3 sell.
BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe blows the doors back on [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014BMW sure seems to take pleasure in confusing the hell out of us. It used to be pretty simple: if you wanted a compact Bimmer, you had to look no further than the 3 Series. Then it was just a matter of which bodystyle you wanted. But the smaller end of BMW's lineup has gotten more complicated lately. Never mind the 1 Series and 2 Series (in their various iterations) that have slotted in below it - now the 3 Series has been split in two: Want a four-door, get the new 3 Series. Want a two-door, the 4 Series is your address. Right?
Almost. Because now there's a 4 Series Gran Coupe that keeps the two-door's roofline (or some approximation of it) but adds an extra set of doors in the back, thereby bridging the gap between the 3 Series sedan and 4 Series coupe. And it's just made its public debut here at the Geneva Motor Show.
The difference between this and the two-door 4 Series is plain to see: it's got two extra doors. But what's the difference between this and the 3 Series sedan? About two or three grand, to start with - depending on which version (428i Gran Coupe or 435i Gran Coupe) you choose. But it's also sleeker, more muscular and altogether that extra bit sexier. Which is a good trait, as you can see from our gallery of live shots above, to have in your European sports sedan, coupe, or whatever you want to call it.
