I've replaced the radiator and will include a new water pump (I never needed it afterall). Car doesn't overheat. Replaced the trans at about 200,000 with a used unit. Replaced shocks, thrust arms, control arms, both front wheel bearings, tie rod inner and outer, replaced what they call the rear ball joints (more like a bushing that prevents excessive camber), replaced alternator with used unit at 265,000, replaced all coils trying to solve misfire (still have a box full that go with the car). Car drives straight and smooth at high speed (when misfire fixed). Drove to Florida twice (3,600 miles round trip each time).
Amenities: Heated steering wheel Heated front seats Traction Control (The best I've ever driven with) ABS Privacy Package (Passenger rear side shades and rear power shade. Driver's side inoperable) Dark tint all around Fully Black interior including trim pieces from factory BMW Business sound system with cassette in dash and rear 6 disc changer (changer works but no sound [likely a wire loose]) Professionally installed axillary sound input (phone, ipod, etc.) Issues: Steering rack drips Misfire (likely a vacuum leak or CCV failure) Tires need to be replaced Sunroof disconnected (was jamming) Driver mirror deglazed but still functional Fan shroud missing (brittle and broke beyond repair) Hit deer last year but replaced hood and headlights. Hood does not stay latched with factory latch. Non smoking car. Nearly all miles are highway. Selling as is. VERY fixable and drivable as is or VERY valuable as parts. I've seen the exhaust or interior go for over $2,000 on ebay individually. I just don't have time or space to fix or part out. |

BMW i3 EV continues to shed camouflage
Thu, 11 Apr 2013As BMW gets closer to introducing the production version of its plug-in i3, we keep seeing the hatchback being tested with lessening degrees of design-obscuring camouflage. Last we heard, BMW is expecting to have the i3 ready by the end of this year, and the swirly, blue camo does little to hide its basic design in these latest spy shots.
We get our first clear look at almost everything above the wavy beltline including the silver roof edges and matching mirror caps, and it can't hide the dip in the beltline behind the B-pillar - matching what we've already seen on the i3 Coupe Concept unveiled at the LA Auto Show last year. Another change we notice is the lower portion of camo removed from the front fascia allowing us to see the air opening and the black, vertical inserts leading up to the fog light bezels. Judging by the "Hybrid Test Vehicle" stickers on the side of this prototype, we can only assume that this is the optional range-extended model.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
Are you the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe?
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Thanks to Austrian website Autofilou (via Jalopnik), we now have our first look at what appears to be the upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe - the four-door version of the new 4 Series coupe, which itself is based on the 3 Series sedan. Makes total sense, right?
Nevertheless, in our First Drive of the 4 Series coupe, we found it to be a much more engaging experience than the 3 Series on which its based. And if this new 4GC follows in those footsteps, it could prove to be a better 3 Series sedan than, well, the 3 Series sedan.
Expect the 4 Series Gran Coupe to come in 428i and 435i flavors, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four in the base car and a 3.0-liter turbo-six in the higher-end model. Of course, BMW will likely bring a range-topping M4 Gran Coupe to market not long thereafter.
