330i Bmw Low Mileage, Sports Model, Loaded, Runs Great on 2040-cars

I'll consider trade on a live aboard boat to use in South Florida and to the Islands. Sail or motorsailer preferred for economy but consider power 30' or more. Maybe trade my 39' Mainship Express with a blown Port Engine too. It is a great 2 bedroom condo on Tybee Island outside of Savannah. The featured photo of the left side with the 4 sale sign shows the damage and is the actual vehicle. My guy in Tallahassee will make it good for $375 but it isn't bad. The rest of the car is good. The interior shots are the actual auto. They don't show that the stitching let lose on the drivers bottom. A guy in Atlanta said $150 to fix but in Germany everyone has a lambs wool seat cover that is less and cool in the summer while warm in the winter. The other photos are STOCK PHOTOS - I neglected to take photos of the car and am now 300 miles from Tallahassee. I had family take the photo of the side with the damage as someone wanted to see the wheels and the interior as it was requested. The mats look much dirtier in the photos than in person but they could be replaced. While I do not need the car or the money I think the price I have set is a value. I'll work with someone deserving and finance part of the car but only with 1/2 or more down. I purchased this car for my grandson in Arizona after his mother had breast cancer and ruined credit. He made the payments from a part-time job. When he finished college and didn't want the payments any more I gave it to my step son as he qualified for the HOPE scholarship when he graduated HS and I made the payments. It was agreed that he had to make payments if his grades went below a B and he lost the HOPE scholarship which they did. He has a car that was left to him and a baby now so I got the BMW back. I put a new alternator, water pump and power steering reservoir in and have kept on top of all repairs. It is a fun car to drive but a bit low as the sports model and my back hurts getting in and out of it. The car has low miles averaging less than 10,000 miles a year and has always been in Arizona, Georgia and Florida where the roads are not bumpy or ice covered with salt. Also not near the ocean. Totally loaded with Moon Roof, Leather, 5 speed automatic that you can shift, sports package, premium sound. I'll sell it or I'll fix a few things and keep it to drive around Atlanta for good gas mileage. When you get into the car touch the proper three person memory button and your seat and side mirrors are adjusted for you. Turn on the premium sound system and tune in Sirrius radio if you want to pay for it or Pandora through the hands free bluetooth aftermarket device on the visor and hear it all through your radio until interrupted automatically by your phone. Shift yourself when the tachometer hits 3,000 rpms or let the transmission do it for you. Listen to the throaty exhaust that comes with the sports package and feel the sun on you from the open moon roof or just touch a button to open the rear of the moon roof only and exhaust the heat from the Florida sun. Power everything and fully loaded for it's day it has more bells and whistles than my Lincoln Town Car which has a lot. Fun to drive and gave me nearly 30MPG when I drove it down from Atlanta. Now the bad: I have a guy in Tallahassee who touches cars up for little money. He gave me a price of $375 to touch everything up. The check engine light is on and keeps me from selling it in the Atlanta area where emissions checks must be certified before a sale. My mechanic says it is the intake manifold but the BMW parts guy says they don't go bad. Before I would do anything I would take it to BMW, have the "check engine" codes anylised and and then fix what they say. Each manufacture has their own readers and a general reader that the independent mechanics use will give false readings often. That's why you fix one thing they recommend and then they tell you then it is something else that showed up after they fixed the first thing. I have a complete intake manifold with the parts and gaskets, a How-To book and UTube videos showing what is needed to change the intake. Or drive it as is. It drives great. I favor my Town Car for a smooth and care free ride and getting in and out but I drove the BMW around then drove it the nearly 300 miles from the Atlanta Suburbs to where it is now. For a small car it handles and rides great. The suspension is firm and the control is positive.Take a look and a drive and you'll fall in love with it if you love driving the "ultimate driving machine". This rear wheel drive, 6 cylinder engine automobile is easy to work on. The Sports model is low to the ground and while hard for me to get into and out of it is really fun to drive so I debated keeping it. I don't drive much so why have two cars? A car like this with more miles is listed for $9,000 at dealers on several places. This is not the little 2.5 L engine in the family sedan 325 that you can get for little money. It is the super tuned 3 L engine with suspension, exhaust sound, etc to go with it.

BMW i8's three-cylinder sounds like it's shaping up quite nicely

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

We've run across some rather interesting news... or perhaps we should say interesting sounds. The folks from Bimmerpost have scrounged up a short video showing a preproduction BMW i8 running through a few gears in Sport mode at a quick pace, and if you were concerned that the somewhat eco-friendly nature of the upcoming German sports car would neuter its ability to stir the aural senses, fret not.
Judging by the lovely noise coming from the engine compartment of the i8 in the video, BMW's expertise in tuning high-strung, small-bore engines - remember, BMW Motorrad has quite the penchant for well-conceived motorcycle engines - has come through loud and clear. Now, it's worth mentioning that BMW's controversial Active Sound technology will be included with the i8, so the production car may not sound exactly like this version, which is running with the tech disabled. Owners won't have the ability to disable Active Sound on production i8s.
In related news, Bimmerpost reports that BMW will equip the i8 with an external Active Sound Design system to go along with its Pedestrian Protection System. That means those on the outside will likely hear piped engine recordings from the rear and a sort of "howl" from the front in order to warn pedestrians that the otherwise quiet (when running on electricity, that is) car is approaching. It will also feature technology that can stop the car before contacting a pedestrian.

BMW restores classic Mini as it revives production in Netherlands

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Mini will be kicking off production in the Netherlands, a country that hasn't built a Mini-badged machine since 1966. In honor of this event, BMW Group Classic, the team responsible for all the cars in the BMW Museum, as well as being a spare parts and restoration company in its own right, revived a classic 1959 Austin Seven. That particular car, number 983, was one of the first Minis to be built in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands' JJ Molenaar's Car Companies built 4,000 Austin Sevens and Morris Mini-Minors between 1959 and 1966, although we imagine Dutch Mini production will be much bigger when it starts up again in summer 2014. A five-person team from VDL Nedcar, the group handling production of new Minis, took to the job of restoring the diminutive British car from nose to tail.
The 34-horsepower engine and the transmission were both completely rebuilt, while the door panels were redone by hand. Help from the Mini community aided the VDL Nedcar team in finding authentic replicas or original parts where possible. All told, the new classic Mini is a striking example of what a good restoration can do to a car. The Seven was repainted in its original Farina Gray, adding to the car's sense of authenticity.

Forza Motorsport profiles courageous paralyzed racer

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

It's easy to look at racing video games as just a time waster or a hobby. In reality, though, they're often powerful tools for aspiring racers to learn tracks, race craft and how to set up a car in an easily accessible, risk-free environment. We aren't just talking about proper computer-based sims, like iRacing. Console-based racers like Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo provide a test bed for racers of all sorts.
For Mario Bonfante, Jr., a former motorcycle racer that was involved in a brutal accident that left him in a wheelchair with only limited use of his arms, Forza is a bit more. It allows him to perfect the setup of his personal racecar, a heavily modified E46 BMW M3, complete with hand controls.
Check out Mario's inspiring story.
