1995 Bmw 8-series on 2040-cars

If you're looking for the pinnacle of CSi performance, and want to stand out in a crowd... look no further because
I have a unique car for sale. Are you offended by the idea of locking up a beautiful 850CSi thoroughbred in some
storage unit somewhere? Does it make you cringe at the idea of these rare and exotic cars rarely being driven on
the open road, depriving the world of their magic, rarity and mystique? Then this car is for you!
This 1995 BMW 850CSi is on offer for sale and is one of 225 US market examples; the lowest production car shipped
to the US in BMW's history. Only 1,510 of these unique cars were ever built worldwide. This example is a special
sleeper CSi that has been well documented on the Internet. All performance upgrades are CA legal and offer the next
level of performance and improvement beyond factory, making this a one-of-a-kind driving experience.
Back in 2007, I had read all over the Internet, all about the great work one of the previous owners (Greg Tessier)
had commissioned Chad at Bullet Performance to do on "chassis #166" and swore that one day I would build a car like
that. This car had a complete engine-out performance rebuild and today has less than 37K miles. In 2010, the
opportunity came for me to actually BUY #166 and so I took it. This is one of the best documented, cleanest 850CSis
in the country and is in excellent condition inside and out. The rest of the interior, engine bay and trunk reflect
a clean and very well cared-for specimen. A recent smoke test in October 2015 revealed absolutely NO leaks in the
case or intake. The interior smells like new, has never been smoked in and has been adult driven only. This car has
won several awards, been in BIMMER Magazine twice, and today is possibly the most well cared for CSi around. Like
the Most Interesting Man in the World says, "I don't always drive an 850CSi, but when I do, I borrow Taylor's
CSi..."
Background: This is a numbered, rare vehicle of limited production. As close to the M8 as you will find on the
road, the CSi was the company flagship of the ninetees. Its V12 power plant was bored and stroked by BMW M GmbH,
the renamed BMW Motorsport. Its displacement of 5576cc is 12 percent larger than the 850Ci's, but its 380 hp is 29
percent greater and the compression ratio was bumped to 9.8:1. Torque increased to 410 lb-ft from 360 in the 850Ci.
And THIS car has been performance enhanced from the factory CSi, and it represents more closely what the Dingolfing
factory should have put out in the ninetees.
This car turns heads everywhere it goes, and has a commanding presence about it, especially the wonderful Spitfire
whine of the starter. This is a California driver's car, always garaged, never exposed to snow.

BMW i3 to be priced around $40,000
Mon, 06 May 2013According to Automotive News, the BMW i3 electric hatchback will likely be priced around $40,000, or similar to that of a well-equipped 3 Series sedan, when it goes on sale later this year. This information was revealed during an interview where AN spoke to Ludwig Willisch, CEO of BMW North America. The i3 will likely qualify for a $7,500 tax credit from the US federal government, though AN reports that a BMW spokesperson could not confirm this just yet.
In addition to the all-electric i3, BMW will offer a range-extended version that uses a 0.65-liter two-cylinder motorcycle engine and auxiliary generator to charge the car's battery on the go. Automotive News says pricing for this model is still unclear, as is whether or not the range-extended i3 will be eligible for the $7,500 tax credit. Of course, buyers needing a vehicle for longer trips will be able to borrow one from the automaker.
Automotive News also reports that the majority of BMW's 338 dealers in the United States will be able to sell the i3, as well as the upcoming i8 hybrid sports car. Dealerships have until June of this year to opt out of this program, however.
BMW adds new entry-level 320i model, priced from $33,445*
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Fans of the new BMW 3 Series here in the US have likely been waiting for one of two models to arrive: the new M3 or the diesel-powered 335d. Well... keep waiting just a little bit longer. Here at the Detroit Auto Show, BMW is showing off the new entry-level 320i that will join the 3 Series lineup this spring, and rather than bringing added performance or efficiency, this car is boasting affordability above all. The 320i has been on sale in other markets since the current-generation 3 Series was introduced, but it goes on sale in the US with a starting price of $33,445 (*)including $895 for destination, which is $3,405 less than the current starting price of BMW's well-liked sedan.
In other countries, the 320i uses either a 1.5- or a 2.0-liter inline-four (both turbocharged), and the US version of the car will be getting the latter engine producing 180 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. For comparison, the current 328i, which uses this same engine, produces 240 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque. As expected, performance of the 320i will suffer with BMW estimating a 0-60 mile-per-hour time of 7.1 seconds, but it still has the same 130 mph top speed as the 328i. Oddly enough, despite the lower output, BMW's expected fuel economy for the 320i equipped with rear-wheel-drive and the eight-speed automatic transmission actually matches that of the current 328i with 23 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway, and those numbers are actually lower than the 328i with the manual gearbox.
It sounds like most of the usual 3 Series options will be available on the budget-minded 320i, including the choice of xDrive all-wheel drive, BMW Assist and numerous packages including a Sport pack and Premium pack. For a lot more information on the 320i, most of it general information on the F30 3 Series, scroll down for BMW's press release.
BMW i8 headed to Frankfurt
Mon, 05 Aug 2013According to Edmunds, BMW will reveal its production i8 hybrid sports car at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. The i8 is the second vehicle to come from the automaker's new "i" initiative, following the debut of the smaller i3 hatchback last month.
The BMW i8 makes its debut nearly four years after the original Vision EfficientDynamics concept bowed at the Frankfurt expo in 2009. The production car is expected to use a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that drives the rear wheels, coupled to an electric motor that drives the front wheels. Combined output is said to be something like 393 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, based on our earlier reports. The i8 is also expected to be very light, with curb weight coming in somewhere around 3,125 pounds. Finally, the i8 is said to have a pure electric range of 20 miles, and should be able to hit 62 miles per hour in just under five seconds.
Other publications had the chance to ride along in the i8 (in prototype form) and came away impressed. We're hoping we'll feel the same when the car officially goes on sale sometime in early 2014. Stay tuned for more at the i8's official unveiling in just a few weeks.
