We are pleased to present this absolutely incredible 2005 330CiC convertible. First and foremost, it is crucial that I explain to you what makes this car truly special. It includes BOTH tops. Obviously, all of these cars came fitted with a very nice soft top (this particular model has the fully automated version which works flawlessly). However, as a very, very expensive option, an aluminum hard top was available from BMW which fits into place and turns the car into a truely weather-tight coupe. The hard top has a full sized glass rear window with defroster, dome lamps, and grab handles for the passengers -- just like a normal coupe! The hard top is quite light since it is aluminum, and can easily be lifted in and off the car by two people. It attaches in 20 seconds with the use of four anchor points with large handles that you turn. There is also a rolling stand for the hard top with a fabric cover that goes over it when it's not in use. These hard tops were cose to a $5000 option when the car was new! On top of this, this car has nearly every available option including the expensive and sought after sport package. We also believe it was garage kept because of the condition of the paint, and absence of sun damage to the leather interior.

The interior of this 330iC is in very, very good condition. It has light gray leather  heated seats. The leather is in fantastic condition, and is still soft enough to retain the "bunching" around the edges. You'll notice in listings for other 3 series convertibles that the leather tends to shrink and become hard from sun damage -- especially in the convertible models. This car has the sport seats with extra bolstering since it has the sport package. The hand brake lever is leather-wrapped, as is the steering wheel. The car has the premium Harman/Kardon audio system which features a large subwoofer in the trunk, along with a 6 Disc CD changer. There is a dock for a SiriusXM radio and it has an antenna placed on the trunk. The car also has an aux input setup for your MP3 player. It also has a DVD-based navigation system whichs functions properly. The power convertible soft top functions properly and is in very nice condition with no rips or tears. It looks as though it has seen very very little use, which is common on cars that had the hard top option, as the owners tend to utilize the hard top more often as it is quite easy to raise or lower. When I owned a convertible with a hard top, the only time I used the soft top is if I was out and was caught in the rain. The soft top is fully insulated and has a complete headliner. It is very quiet, and this car can easily be run year-round, though with the hard top, this is definitely a true year-round use car. The previous owner of this car was definitely a non-smoker. The cigarette lighter has never been used. There is a cup holder that accommodates two beverages and two unused ash trays. This BMW has dual front airbags, as well as front side airbags.  Speaking of safety, this car features the rollover protection system. This is a pair of active roll bars which deploy from behind the rear seat if the car's internal sensors detect that it is probable the car will roll over. They deploy in a fraction of a second to keep the front and rear occupants safe. The windshield surround and A pillars also feature strenghtened steel to keep the windshield area from collapsing in a rollover situation. The cargo area is very generously large for a convertible and can accommodate more than a weekend's worth of luggage easily. The carpet floor mats are there for the rear seats, as well as rubber mats for the front seats.

The exterior of this 3 Series is in stunning condition and has absolutely no dings, and very very few scratches. It is Titanium Silver in color which is a bright, bright metallic silver color that looks incredible in direct sunlight. The car has its original BMW alloy wheels which are in fantastic condition. The car has had only two owners since it was new, and both owners seem to have serviced the car exceptionally well. As was mentioned before, the soft top is in incredible condition with virtually no wear. The hard top is in beautiful condition and easily anchors to the car. Obviously, the car has been fitted with the kit to anchor the hard top. The soft top is the fully automated type which requires nothing but pressing a button to operate. It works exactly as it should without any assistance. It's impressively fast, too. It's about twice as fast as the soft top on my Audi of the same era. The car also has Xenon headlamps and LED tail lamps which are fitted as stock.

The tires are nearly new with very good tread life remaining. The tires are all matching Continental DWSs. The brakes are in  good shape and the car stops as it should. The legendary BMW Inline 6 cylider engine runs flawlessly and is very smooth. The transmission also operates properly. The car has traction and stability control which make this a truly usable car in the winter. It's very smooth, while still shifting crisply. These cars are known for being mechanically reliable. The car has a current New Jersey state inspection.

In many cases, it is more efficient and economical to have your car shipped to your home or office. There are various options. We have a shipping broker with whom we work that is one of the best in the business, and takes care of every aspect of the shipping process. Additionally, if you're looking for a more economical option, you can get a quote at www.uship.com. If you'd prefer to pick up your new car in person, we offer complimentary shuttle service from the Erie International Airport (ERI), as well as the Erie Pennsylvania Amtrak, Greyhound, and Megabus stations.

Purchasing a car online can definitely allow you, our customer, to get a fantastic deal on exactly the car for which you've been looking. This method is one of the best thigns to happen in the history of the used car business, because you are no longer limited to the small selection of cars offered by your local car dealerships. With affordable shipping to anywhere in the world, it is now easier than ever to find exactly the car you want at a price you like.

Since you're bidding, or making an offer, on a car which you may have not seen in person, it is important that a level of trust be established between you, our customer, and us, the dealership. This is why we post between 30 and 60 high-resolution images of every car we sell on ebay. We pride ourselves in having the most detailed, highest resolution images on ebay, and we use the finest photography equipment in order to catch even the smallest details of the cars that we sell. In addition, the description above provides a comprehensive walk-around of the car including the interior, exterior, and mechanical systems. We even will fill you in on any previous maintenance that we've performed. Regardless, all cars that we sell have been thoroughly checked for safety by our in-house master technician. In addition, we road-test every car we sell very extensively before offering it. If there are any issues with the car that are present, they will be mentioned in the auction. Because we road test the cars extensively, it is possible that the car may have more miles on it than when the auction was listed. We always encourage you to come check out the car in person before bidding or making an offer. If you are too far away to do this, there are several inspection services that can review the car, or we can take the car to a local garage of your choice for a pre-purchase inspection.
         
 Please note that a $250 deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction.  This deposit can be made by contacting us directly and can be paid by credit or debit card over the phone. This allows us to speak with you person-to-person which allows us to fill you in on the process and fine details of the transaction, as well as lets you know that we are real people who are committed to making the process of purchasing your new car as easy and painless as possible. Buying a car should be fun and exciting, not a chore. The balance is due within 7 days via Certified Check, Money Order, or bank wire transfer.  We can also accept credit cards and personal checks for full payment with prior authorization. Simply contact us before bidding or making your offer to let us know that you plan on paying with one of these methods so that we can let you know about additional terms that apply.

Non-paying buyers will be reported to ebay.  We charge a $255 dealer services fee for all transactions. This fee covers any additional paperwork service, overnighting of paperwork, and dealer prep.  We can provide a temporary cardboard plate for out of state customers at no charge. Pennsylvania residents will need to pay sales tax between 6% and 7% depending upon your county of residence. There are also Pennsylvania fees for the registration, title, and license plate (unless you bring your own plate to transfer).
         
Inexpensive used cars are not at all the same as a brand new car, or certified pre-owned vehicle.  They are in no way flawless, or perfect. As noted above, we try our absolute best to disclose any issues which may be present on the car, however a car's condition is somewhat subjective and opinion based. Where door ding may be considered perfectly acceptable on a 10 year old car, it would never be acceptible on a car which is brand new.  Also, on higher-mileage used cars, it is important to remember that virtually any mechanical or non-mechanical component can fail at any time.  We cannot predict what components will fail in the future, or when they will fail.  This is simply the nature of older higher mileage used vehicles.  The best that we can do is assure that the car is operating properly at the time of purchase. This car is sold as-is, and we cannot be held responsible for any mechanical or non-mechanical failure.  Additionally, because we do not know the inspection requirements of other states, we cannot guarantee that this vehicle will pass any out-of-state inspections.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.

BMW X4 hatches its fastback shape in Shanghai

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

The day has finally come for BMW to pull the covers off its X4 Concept at the Shanghai Motor Show. The machine brings few surprises - we've already seen an official image gallery from the German automaker, so its exterior shape was well known - but at least now we get to see it with our own eyes, and with the lenses of our very own cameras.
You can clearly see the fastback roofline in our high-res image gallery above, along with the jacked-up stance that allows BMW to call this machine a Sports Activity Vehicle, which basically means "Crossover" to our friends in Munich. We've seen similar vehicle shapes before, most notably in the form of the BMW X6, but also as far back as the 1980s from the likes of AMC.
We fully expect the transition from concept to production to be pretty seamless, so what we see here is, for the most part, what we'll see on the showroom floor in 2014. Feel free to peruse the press release below, but first, be sure to browse through our live images from Shanghai and let us know what you think.

A closer look at the 2015 BMW M3 and M4

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

It's fair to say we're going to miss the E92 BMW M3. Its high-revving V8, flame-styled looks and excellent driving character made it quite simply one of the best cars of the 2000s. Its replacements, the new M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe have a lot to live up to.
We still have a few months to wait until we can drive the new cars, but that doesn't mean we can't get excited in the meantime, learning everything we can. To find out, we sent west coast editor Michael Harley onto the Detroit Auto Show floor earlier this week to talk about the new M cars with BMW product manager Victor Leleu.
If you want a concise, but highly informative rundown of these new cars, look no further than this video. Leleu talks about the styling, weight savings and engines in a lot of detail, making this an interview M fans aren't going to want to miss. Scroll down for the full video.
