RR of the Day: 1973 BMW Bavaria
Jan-31-2007
Filed under: ,
Flicker user "lithuimbomb9999" bought this '73 BMW Bavaria back in 2001 and informs us that instead of one of the stock engines from its time (either a 2.8L or 3.0L inline 6 making 170 - 190 HP), the engine compartment of this old Bimmer hides a 3.5L six-cylinder from an '88 535i. That gives the car somewhere between 200 and 220 horsepower and, as lithiumbom puts it, "boatloads of torque." Other mechanical updates include a metric mechanic sport cam, dual weber 32/36 DGAV carbs and later-model springs and sway bars.
Appearance-wise, the car's subtle, elegant look is augmented by a set of vintage Alpina wheels (nice) and Recaros from a 320i. It was restored in 1982 and is finished in its original color. The owner says that it's due to be revisited, as there's some paint and bodywork required to address some rust issues that have popped up in the intervening decades.
Lithiumbomb notes that BMW E3-family cars like his Bavaria sell for much less than the more-coveted 2002s and CSes from the same era and that working examples can be found in the $1,000 - $2,000 range, with mint-condition cars checking in between $5 - 10K. Not a bad deal for anyone looking to pick up a vintage Bimmer. We happen to like old BMWs ourselves, and as such, LB's Bavaria is today's Reader Ride of the Day.
Follow the jump for a couple more pics, and instructions on how to submit your own vehicle to become our Reader Ride of the Day. And next week, our themed RR of the Day will be back and we're looking for beaters. If you've got a decrepit ride that still manages to get your from point A to point B, we want to see it. Rusted, busted or smoking, submit it by following the directions after the jump.

RR of the Day: 2001 BMW M Coup??
Jan-29-2007
Filed under: , ,
Everyone has a list of vehicles that they want to drive before they die, for me, today's RR of the Day is a vehicle that I've vowed to own. The first time I saw an M coupé in person at a strip mall in my hometown, I waited 20 minutes for the owner to come out, interrogated him for a half an hour and then talked him in to giving me a ride. Unlike today's example, his black 2000 model housed a 240 HP, S52 engine that provided ample motivation for the three-door oddity. CT57's, however, is equipped with an S54, the same 330 HP mill found within the E46 M3 that we know and love.
The rest of the details are after the jump, along with instructions on how to get your own ride featured here.

It's on! BMW 1-series coming to the U.S. in 135i guise
Jan-17-2007
Filed under: , , ,
At what Winding Road described as a "corporate event this week," BMW officials have confirmed that the 1-series will be making its way to U.S. shores in 2008. The official announcement is expected later this year, which will finally put to rest the speculation we've been covering for .
Just the fact that the 1-series is on its way is big enough news, but the real deal-sealer is that the two-door hatch will debut with the highly desirable, yet under clocked, twin-turbo 3-liter, inline-six. The 135i will be the first vehicle to be offered up to American enthusiasts, with the 130i coming at a later date.
Mr. Brennan over at Winding Road stressed that the 1-series will be offered in two-door versions (with an "s") in the future, including a convertible, a proper coupe and the aforementioned hatchback.
We've already made the case for a spiritual successor to the 2002 and it seems that the boys in Munich have the same idea, but a four-cylinder engine won't make its way under the bonnet until BMW, "does a proper turbocharged four-cylinder engine." Both a twin-turbo six and a blown four? It seems that BMW may finally be making products for the market it's been neglecting for over a decade.
As for price, expect the 1-series to fit snuggly between the MINI and the 3-series, with a $5k premium for the twin-turbo'd six.

eBay Find of the Day: 1995 BMW M3 CSL
Jan-17-2007
Filed under: , , ,
Pay more, get less. That's okay, looking at the pictures of this rare lightweight E36, it's not exactly slumming. There were under 150 of the 1995 "Coupe Sport Light" M3's produced and here's your chance to part with a lot of cash to own one.
The cars were intended for competition, so some of the creature comforts of the more pedestrian M3s were removed. Extravagant things like air conditioning and sound deadening, gone. Steel door skins were replaced by aluminum; you'll forego leather seats, a sunroof, even a radio. Who cares about all that stuff? Leather looks crappy after a while, a sunroof cuts into headroom, and with handpicked, extra-strong sixes underhood, the CSLs obviated the need for a radio. To us, it sounds less like a penalty box and more like the M3 we'd want, anyway. Power seats and geegaws have no place in a car with sporting intentions, but the market demands them. What all that extra equipment eventually translates to, besides weight, is stuff to fix. The CSL M3's return you to a simpler time, offering an equipment level closer to the beloved ; a moment of silence, please.
This particular example has just over 7000 miles on the odo, and looks to be meticulously kept. We'd love to take it out and flog it 'til the cosmoline stinks. Exclusivity has its price, for the mere starting bid of $39,975, you can start dreaming of the day you're wheeling your ultra rare Bimmer around and some cretin at the supermarket dings it.
Thanks for the tip, Spencer!

Traded 2 bikes for 1: My new 2006BMW R1200RT
Jan-07-2007
So two months ago I traded my BMW R1150GS and my Triumph Daytona 955i for a .
I wasn't using the Daytona for track days anymore and I wasn't taking the GS offroad since I have a collection of dirt bikes. I thought a lot about what I needed out of a motorcycle. I wanted a comfortable, quick, sport/touring bike. With Katie and Tonya at home I've been only riding to work. However, over a single day that means I ride my motorcycle over an hour each day. I was looking primarily at the R1200RT and the K1200GT both BMW since I have a great relationship with . I would have had to order a K1200GT and wait for it to come in. The R1200RT was in stock. When I got the bike there was a special that the R1200RT came with a free BMW Navigator III and a free 49Liter Top Case. That really tipped the favor in to the RT. I am the proud owner of a dark gray 2006 BMW R1200RT.
After 2 months I really like the bike. The bike has more power then the R1150 it replaces but much less then the 955i that it replaced. It is a happy medium. The R1150 was just a little under powered while the 955i was probably over powered for what I need. The RT is also just as comfortable as the GS for Tonya on back. That was also an important consideration. The RT delivers on every thing.
The motor is slowly breaking in. As it brakes in it get torqueier at the bottom end and quicker at the top end. It cruises nicely in any gear. For the new R1200 they lowered 6th gear to make it less of an over drive and more of a 6th gear. Passing cars on the freeway no longer requires down shifting to 5th in the general case.
My bike has the optional ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjust). It has 3 modes and 3 weight settings. The modes are Comfort, Normal, and Sport. The 3 weight settings are Solo, Two-up, and Two-up with luggage. I normally keep the suspension in Comfort mode which eats up the bumps and irregularities in the local roads in the bay area. However, the bike can be vague in the corners at speed so I generally switch to sport mode if I'm going to be aggressively cornering. I find myself only in normal in wet weather when I want to ensure minimal brake dive or acceleration squat and less vagueness in the corners. Over all the suspension is nice. I just hope that by the time I wear out the shocks that there are ESA compatible after market parts available. Currently, the only way to get the ESA suspension replaced is to go with the stock suspension or to loose the ESA feature. There have been some reports of WP rebuilding and adjusting the ESA shocks to allow reuse.
I'm currently in the planning stage of adding in two options I didn't get when I bought the bike. The first is the radio system. I've speced it out and made some plans. It is now down to buying the parts and installing the hardware. The second piece is the heated seats. During the cold winter months when it is raining it would be awfully nice to have a nice warm seat to sit on.
Finally, I'm planning two system integrations/modifications. I'm going to hook my into the bike. I'm installing waterproof jacks front and rear and going to use patch cables to for helmet connectivity. I have the Pro7, the jacks, and the headsets. All I need is some cable. I'm also planning on adding a built in a . I'm going to add a single controller to the front for now as Tonya doesn't wear heated clothing and I only wear a vest.
So far, I've put 1,600 miles on the bike. I've really enjoyed it so far. I do miss both the bikes I traded. I miss them a lot, however, for my riding the RT is doing a better job. The bike has better weather protection especially for my lower body. I've worn jeans in light rain on the RT and come out only slightly wet when on the GS or Daytona I would have been soaked. The RT also has an electrically adjustable windscreen. This is a huge feature that makes a big difference. I can block all the air on a cold wet day or none on a nice dry day when I want to enjoy the air. All in all the RT was a good choice.

Spy Shots: BMW Z9
Jan-12-2007
Filed under: , ,
UDPATE: Like you, we're having a hard time wading through the conjecture on what this car is exactly. We mistakenly told you below that the Z9 would be a CL-Class fighter, which is wrong - it will be an SL-fighter (damned Mercedes nomenclature!). However, the test mule still doesn't look large enough to compete with the SL-Class (maybe the SLK, which is why we still think it's a Z4).Reports are flooding in from Munich of a never-before-seen test mule from BMW that's purported to be the Z9, the successor to the short-lived Z8 premium ragtop the automaker sold from 2000 to 2003. Now, to be fair, the mule could simply be the next generation Z4 convertible, but the photographers from KGP seem to believe the body shape is purposefully misleading and that it is, indeed, the Z9.
Such a car would go head-to-head in the marketplace with the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, and thus likely be offered in both coupe and hardtop converitble models. BMW's choice of engine for the Z9 seems obvious, as nothing less than the corporate V10 producing 500 hp would do for such a premium vehicle. In fact, Winding Road is surmising that the Z9 will carry an even more premium price than the Z8's $128,000 base MSRP, perhaps somewhere in the neighborhood of $150,000.
Despite the fact that speculators seem convinced this mule is the future Z9, we still think it looks too small for that to be the case. From the side profile it appears the vehicle is just about the right size for a slightly larger Z4 and not comparable to the size of a Mercedes-Benz CL-Class.
