Madrid / San Sebastian / Barcelona - help me pare down
- Frodnesor Jan 19, 2009 07:52 AM
We are taking our second trip to Spain in March, spending 3 days each in Madrid, San Sebastian, and Barcelona (I know, not enough time - what can you do?). We were in Madrid and Barcelona about 4 years ago and have some favorites to return to, and I've been doing much studying here and elsewhere (there are some great threads and posters here, and thanks already for several tips). We like both traditional and contemporary cooking styles and have enjoyed some of the U.S. takes on the latter (i.e., Alinea, Jose Andres' Minibar). We like to eat tapas-style and I also enjoy tasting menus, though Mrs. F will only have patience for a few of the latter. I have started to put together something of a "hit list" for each town and would appreciate insights and suggestions.
One additional complicating factor is that we will be arriving in Madrid on Sunday and will have Sunday / Monday in Madrid, and again Sunday / Monday in Barcelona. Suggestions for places open on these days are particularly welcomed.
Viridiana - we have to return to get Mrs. F the huevos con mousse de hongos y trufas. I think they are open Mondays, am I mistaken?
La Terraza - Ferran Adria spin-off in the Casino de Madrid. Recommended to me by a friend with pretty good taste; don't know if I'll ever have a chance to get to El Bulli. Don't see any mention of it here. Any thoughts?
I don't have many other sit-down dinner type places on my Madrid list (Lhardy?), but have several tapas bars - a string along the Cava Baja - El Tempranillo, Tximiri, Casa Lucio, La Camarilla; and nearer to home base (likely the Villa Real), Las Bravas, Vinoteca Barbechera. Bocaito. Any more suggestions, particularly around the Plaza Santa Ana and/or open Sundays?
Restaurants: Arzak, Mugaritz, Akelarre, Etxebarri
There's already an excellent thread discussing all of these, but feel free to chime in with thoughts. I have three days here, though Mrs. F may not have patience for three alta cocina tasting menus. I get the impression Etxebarri is better as a lunch destination; can it be turned into a Bilbao day-trip if you rent a car?
Tapas: La Cuchara de San Telmo, Alona Berri, Bar Bergara.
Again we have the Sunday/Monday issue in Barcelona, so there's only one night in Barcelona when all options will be available, otherwise we're picking among what will be open.
Restaurants: ABaC, Alkimia, Ca l'Isidre, Casa Calvet, Cinc Sentits, Comerc 24, Cuines Santa Caterina, Embat, Gresca, Passadis del Pep.
Tapas: Tapac 24, Paco Meralgo, Takitka Berri, Bar Mut, La Vinya del Senyor, Xampanyet, El Quim & Pinotxo in the Mercat de la Boqueria, Bar Inopia, Quimet y Quimet.
Particular suggestions among these or others for Sunday/Monday options in Barcelona? For those places that are not open either Sunday/Monday, any thoughts on paring the list down?
Some follow up questions -
- I got a reply message to my reservation request at Arzak saying that only the smoking section is available the day we wanted to book. We are not smokers and I can easily see that interfering with a great meal. Am I silly to be considering canceling or trying to get another day?
- is there any wine-touring to be done by day-trip from Madrid, San Sebastian or Barcelona? It looks to me like Rioja region is about 2 hours from San Sebastian, and I know from the new Marques de Riscal resort, but don't know what else is wine-tourist friendly. Likewise looks like Priorat is about 2 hours from Barcelona but I don't know if the wineries are accessible to visitors.
re: Frodnesor
Appreciate the insights. We went to Bilbao on our last trip so we don't *have* to do it again (though I was quite charmed by the town, to say nothing of the museum). Regardless of the Bilbao day-trip question, for San Sebastian, might it make sense to do bigger meals at lunch, especially for those out of town (i.e., Akelarre, Etxebarri, Mugaritz) and then eat lighter tapas in town for dinner? Aside from making it easier to find the places, it seems like both would be scenic drives, and from the website the views from Akelarre are quite impressive.
Appreciate the heads-up on Terraza. If that's off the list, maybe we'll go more old-school for one meal in Madrid. I'd hate to have a less-than-thrilling experience at the spin-off and then have Mrs. F wonder why I'd still want to go to El Bulli.
Cinq Sentits was off my radar screen for Barcelona until I saw mentions of it here and on eGullet. Any more insights on it? Also mentioned elsewhere were Senzone, Dos Palillos, and DiverXO, the last of which seems out-of-the-way but apparently is the foodies' darling right now. Any comments on these? I'm also taking a close look at La Dama and would love to hear if others have any feedback on it.
re: Frodnesor
Lunch or dinner depends on how much sightseeing one wants to do during the afternoon. Generally, a lunch at one of the top restaurants will take up most of the afternoon, leaving little time for other activities. Still, my preference is always for long leisurely lunch and a light evening tapas/pintxos meal. A big dinner usually goes past midnight and then off to bed can be uncomfortable and tiring.
Unlike restaurants outside of Barcelona or San Sebastian, I have not found any restaurants in Barcelona or Madrid as a 'must'. Cinc Sentits has been discussed quite a bit on this board, including a few of my posts. It is very good but it not any better than others in the same category. Consistency is one of its strong point.
Senzone, dos Palillos and DiverXO are the current hot restaurants that are doing some form of modern fusion cooking. They are not the type of restaurants I look for when I am in Madrid. I've heard good reports from friends but like any restaurants of this type, it will also get a few detractors. If the style of cooking appeals, to you, should definitely try one.
Restaurants on my "must" list because they are unique and excellent:
Around Barcelona: El Celler de Can Roca, El Raco de Can Fabes, Hispania, Rais de Galicia
Around San Sebastian: Etxebarri, Arzak, Akelare (based on my last meal), pintxos in the Parte Vieja
Madrid: Viridiana, Combarro and tapas crawl in Latina
re: Frodnesor
Interesting. I just requested a reservation some months hence and was told the same thing--we had to take smoking because non-smoking is "fully booked." Hmmmm.
We were in Barcelona on a Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Saturday dinner was at Cinq Sentits, Sunday lunch at La Dama, Sunday dinner at Senyor Parellada, and Monday dinner at Alkimia. We were very happy with these choices. We also had tapas twice at the Basque place across the street from Santa Maria del Mar, which I can't recall the name of. When I reserved at Arzak, only the smoking room was available, and while I would have preferred non-smoking, it was not intrusive enough to ruin our dinner, and we were very glad we went. I think a trip to Bilbao and lunch at Etxebarri may be too ambitious for a day trip. If you get a very early start, you could see the Guggenheim and then head to Extebarri for a late lunch, but you will not see anything more of Bilbao. We went to the museum in the late morning, had lunch there (in the casual restaurant, which was very good and a bargain), then walked around the old city. By the time we got back to San Sebastian it was early evening.
think your lists for the three destinations are good.
Although there are some good tapas and pintxos places in Barcelona, I would save those for Madrid and San Sebastian, respectively. An exception might be La Vinya del Senyor, which has a limited tapas menu but wonderful wines and a near perfect outdoor setting on the busy c/Argenteria in front of Santa Maria del Mar. For modern Catalan restaurants, I would choose any among Alkimia, Hisop, Cinc Sentits, Olive, Sauc or Abac; the last two being a little more ground. Abac is also the most expensive. I've have not had much luck with the high end traditional Catalan restaurants. My single meals at Ca I'Isidre and Casa Calvet were good but not worth the high prices, especially for Ca I'Isidre but that was quite a few years ago. An earlier poster recommended La Dama and I've gotten great reports from friends; definitely on my list for next trip. For Sunday night, my choice would be Rais de Galicia for seafood. If you can spare an afternoon away from Barcelona (especially Sunday when the city is quiet and most of the restaurants are closed for dinner), I would have lunch at Hispania for traditional or El Celler de Can Roca in Girona for modern Catalan cooking. Both are easily reached by train and for me, better choices than any in Barcelona.
For San Sebastian, I agree with an earlier post that it is difficult to visit Bilbao and have lunch at Etxebarri on the same day, unless you only want a peek at the Guggenheim. I've eaten many meals at Arzak and it remains my favorite. My last year's dinner at Akelarre was one of the best meal I had in Spain, much better than a previous lunch a few years ago. After two meals at Mugaritz it remains a mystery to me. Save one evening for pintxo crawl in the Parte Vieja.
Sunday night in Madrid is difficult though some tapas places will be open on Santa Ana. None of them are great but the outdoor seating on the Plaza is pleasant for people watching. Nearby is La Trucha on c/Manual Fernandez y Gonzalez, lively with excellent fried tapas and good salads. Skip the branch nearby on c/Nunez de Arce, which is always empty. Next to La Trucha are two other good tapas places, La Toscana and El Lacon. Just a few blocks east of Santa Ana is Huetas and Pl. Jesus where there are tons of good tapas places. Lhardy is great for old elegant atmosphere but very expensive and I don't find it worth it. I've eaten twice at La Terraza with a large group of food people. Both times were disappointing and does not come close to the meal I had at El Bulli in 2000. Maybe it is different for a small party. I would save that for a trip to Can Roca, outside of Barcelona. Madrid has some of the best seafood, therefore, if I want to splurge, I would definitely do one of the marisqueria such as Combarro, La Trainera or Casa da Troya. Or one of the asador such as Tierra Aranda or Ansorene Imanol. For more traditional: Arce or Sacha.
re: PBSF
I don't really have anything to add as far as Madrid goes. As for Barcelona... I found Cal l'isdre to be just awful. I loved taking the train to Sant Pau for Carme Ruscadella. It and Arzak were honestly the best "fine" meals that I had in Spain. It is so worth the trip. There is also a beautiful little jewel of a restaurant, Semproniana (Rosselló, 148 08036 Barcelona), that is funky and fabulous. The chef/owner is a woman who makes amazing food. I ate there twice because it was so yummy. In San Sebastian I love Arzak and strolling at night stopping into pintxo bars. My favorites were La Cuchara de San Telmo, La Cepa, Bar Ganbara, Bar Bergara, and Txepetxa. Oh and Gatzelu which i think is called Juanaenea now. I wouldn't miss Arzak even if i had to put up with smokers! And Mugaritz is something really special. Gosh - I'm so jealous that you get to go!
No need to take up too much space. Will say that Commerc 24 was really good in Barca.I am not as high on San Seb as most and I only know the tapas joints by location and sight, not by name. There was one place I have not been to that I am very interested in there but I cannot recall the name, either. Was along one of the main vias in town, down some stairs.Traditional cooking, packed with natives.
Bilbao is just so right, best lamb kebabs I have ever had and that really means something.Again, I don't know names, sorry, but I can find it on a map.Also, lovely bit of a bakery in town, has a fancy look about it. Spanish chocolate work is underrated.
I would be most interested in Etxebarri of the high end big name joints.
San Sebastian and environs provided some of the best culinary experience of any city that we've been to i Europe. Doing the tapas crawl in SS is fun and a culinary delight, with La Cucahara de San Telmo in old SS as one of the highlight.
During our trip last spring, we enjoyed Mugaritz very much and was not that impressed with our meal at Akelarre. Mugaritz pushed the boundaries of good flavors and amazing dish execution to a higher level; while Akelarre tried but was clearly not in the same league as Mugaritz as their execution was not as polished. We'll definitely do Muagaritz again when we're back in the area, as well as try Etxebarri,
Here is how the itinerary is shaping up:
Sun - tapas in Cava Baja (La Camarilla, Casa Lucas, Casa Lucio, El Tempranillo ...) and/or around Pl. Santa Ana (La Trucha, El Lacon, Las Bravas, Vinoteca Barbechera ...)
Mon - dinner @ Viridiana
Tue - ???
Wed - tapas in Barrio Gros (Alona Berri, Bar Bergara, Casa Senra, El Lagar Bodega, Hidalgo 56 ...)
Thu - dinner @ Arzak
Fri - lunch @ Akelarre, tapas dinner in Parte Vieja (La Cuchara de San Telmo, La Cepa, Tamboril, Bar Ganbara, Meson Martin ...)
Still trying to figure out how to squeeze Etxebarri in. I don't want to try to find it in the dark, but we get in too late for lunch on Wed, and I sure can't see doing it for lunch and Arzak for dinner on Thu. Anyone have thoughts on whether Etxebarri still worth doing if you do NOT do a tasting menu?
The division of opnion on the high-end San Sebastian places is interesting. Seems that each of them have their champions and detractors. Mrs. F really wanted to go to Arzak, and she only has limited patience for these meals, and for whatever reason I felt that Akelarre would hit the mark better than Mugaritz.
Sat - Alkimia / Cinc Sentits / Dos Palillos are all in the mix for dinner
Sun - La Dama / Paco Meralgo
Mon - Gresca / Semproniana / Rias de Galicia ?
Grab some breakfasts & lunches at Boqueria, Tapac 24 ...
Let me throw a few additional questions out there:
- Quimet y Quimet - worth a visit?
- May do a day-trip to Toledo - Adolfo (Munoz)?
- May do a day-trip to Cuenca - Meson Casa Calgadas?
- I love tripe - where can I find the best callos?
- jamon iberico de bellota - the platonic ideal of porkiness. Are there qualitative differences from one to another once you're talking about bellota, and if so, where can I find the best or a good sampling to compare?
- also a big fan of various other pig parts - trotters, ears ... had a great stew at an Asador w/ ears, misc. other parts and white beans. Any suggestions for similar?
- where would be a good place to get cocido in Madrid?
re: Frodnesor
There is never a consensus when it comes to high restaurants, that includes El Bulli. For Spain, I think it is due to individual preferences and the chefs constant urge to invent, transform and stretch the envelope. This inevitably leads to conceptual and consistency problem. This goes for my two favorite high end restaurants in Spain: Arzak and El Celler de Can Roca. No other great restaurants where I been served a course that is almost inedible follow by some of the best dishes. Always scratch my head over this. The only exception for me is El Raco de Can Fabes where the product and cooking are always top notch. But it is also the most conservative 3 star in Spain.
Quimet y Quimet is a small atmospheric wine bar that serves excellent tapas with seafood from cans because they do not have a cooking kitchen. Spain produces some of the best canned seafood product anywhere and Quimet uses top quality. It is standup only (not even any bar stools) and very crowded. Because it is a bit out of the way in Poble Sec and unless I have plenty of time in Barcelona, I would skip it. Couple of comments on Rias de Galicia. The simple preparations are the best and that it is very expensive, probably the most expensive place on your list for Barcelona. It is easy to spend 100E per person if you order some of the exotic items.
As for jamon iberico de bellota, it is serve in many of the good tapas places. You will see a jamon on a beautiful carving stand with the iberico de bellota tag still attached to the end of the leg. A racion wlll be about 15E to 20E. It is not difficult to find since most good deli will sell it, including the many branches of Museo de Jamon in Madrid. There are slight variation in style among the producers, therefore, how much you want to search will depends how serious you are. If you are interested, I would suggest Jamonisimo in Barcelona. The menu offer a tasting of from various producers. I would go there for a late lunch where the staff will have some time to chat. They are extremely helpful and the staff speak some English.
If you are looking for a day trip on tuesday you could go to Segovia for lunch @ Candido, excellent roast suckling pig under the roman aqueduct, then walk it off in the gardens of La Granja (a summer palace) and head back to Madrid via the Sierra.
The fish restaurants recommended above such as La Trainera or Combarro are great in the evening.
In San Sebastian you may enjoy a visit to Chillida Leku a fantastic sculpture museum just a few km away from the centre of town.
re: Charlie_75
Thanks Charlie. On our last trip to Spain we visited Segovia (and Candido), we will probably day-trip to Toledo out of Madrid this time. The Chillida museum is also on my list, probably on the day we lunch at Akelarre.
re: Frodnesor
Found Toledo to be wonderful, both church and cooking knife shop nearby were world class. Interesting triangle would be to go to Chinchon for their anisette, loved lunch there and brought back many bottles of the liqueur.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Which knife store did you go to?
re: butterfly
Sorry, cannot remember. Bought a *ham* knife whose blade is 10" squared with the cutting edge rounded. It is magnificent. All l remember it very close to cathedral and is very old store and average sized.
Some near-final questions before we leave:
- Casa Lucio and Zalacain have been recommended to me in Madrid. Casa Lucio seems one of those "venerable institution" type places. How's the food? Zalacain?
- Any further insights on Tasquita de Enfrente?
- I am at a crossroads and believe I have to make a choice between Akelare and Etxebarri for a lunch (unless we were to do one of them for lunch prior to a dinner at Arzak, which just seems like complete overkill which even I may not be up for). ??? Another possibility is to try to switch Akelare to a dinner Wed night when we arrive in S.S., though I thought it would be nicer to visit during the daytime to enjoy the views. Any words of wisdom?
Finally - any particular seasonal products we should keep our eyes out for in early March?
re: Frodnesor
One thing to possibly sway you is that Akelarre is an absolutly stunning restaurant on a hill overlooking SS. While at night, you can't see anything (esp in Winter) it is fabulous for lunch. Food's not bad either.
Hi, Frodnesor: Quick question: What are the dates of your March trip? I just returned from Barcelona hours ago and *might* be able to assist with regard to your Barca needs. I did not want to begin posting only to have someone berate me for not realizing that the poster was already abroad (it has happened before, and is one of the reasons I am an infrequent poster. Apparently, unlike some others, I am not clairvoyant. It is a cross that this Brooklyn girl must bear).
Thanks to all for the generous advice, just returned yesterday. The final itinerary ended up including Casa Lucas, Vinoteca Barberecha, Las Bravas, Viridiana, and Goizeko in Madrid, Arzak, Akelare, and too many tapas places to count in San Sebastian and Bilbao; Dos Palillos, Paco Meralgo, and Cuines Santa Caterina in Barcelona.
Highlights - percebes (goose barnacles) at Goizeko; the bizarre picture on the wall at Las Bravas; tapas in Barrio Gros in San Sebastian; the whole experience at Arzak; the view and the cochinillo at Akelare; navajas (razor clams) at Dos Palillos; calcots at Cuines Sta. Caterina.
I will update later with more info here and on my blog (link below) but wanted to thank everyone for their helpful input.
re: Frodnesor
Thanks for reporting back. I look forward to reading your detailed reports.

A little while ago I wrote about Florence Nightingale NOT being the first recipient of the Royal Red Cross award. At present I'm carrying out a bit of research on the award, and there are some unusual facts to be found between the covers of the RRC Register. Between the first award in May 1883, and the start of the Great War, there were just 246 awards. Considering that the period covered several military campaigns where British nurses were deployed, including the Boer War, it seems a remarkably small number, but it does highlight what a rare and special honour it was to receive the award.
For services rendered during the Great War there were more than 8,000 RRCs both 1st and 2nd class issued, and to many people the bestowal of so many honours devalued the medal and sight was lost of its original intention - to reward women who has shown only the most supreme service and devotion to the nursing of military personnel. It became a token of 'job well done' rather than 'job done better than anyone else could have done it,' and also caused some divisions between the 'haves' and 'have nots' of the nursing world.
But to return to 'first' awards, it's surprising that the very first Royal Red Cross of the Great War was the prize of Mademoiselle Eugènie Antoine, of 2 Rue de Bersue, Vailly-sur-Aisne
'in recognition of her courageous and devoted services to the British wounded in hospital at Vailly-sur-Aisne whilst the British were under shell fire.'
So the great and the good among British military nurses were beaten to the post by a French civilian. But their time soon came of course, together with the other 8,000 ...

Do you know anything about several Stafford House South African Aid Committee nurses who were awarded the RRC in 1883 for their work in the Zulu War? I'm particularly interested in one named Mary Jane West Armfield, who grew up in Australia and willed her RRC to the Australian War Memorial.ReplyDelete
I have very little information other than the pages in the RRC Register, so not sure I can be much help, but feel free to email me.ReplyDelete

Its not what you think. Or rather, it is what you think, but its not presented how you would expect. Robinson Devors film Zoo is indeed the true story of a Washington man who died from a perforated colon, an injury he received while being anally penetrated by a horse. But Devor made neither a straight documentary of the facts, nor a lurid, sensationalized exploitation of the incident. Fascinated by the life of the deceased Mr. Hands, a seemingly normal Boeing engineer named Kenneth Pinyan, Devor crafted a feature that delves into the internal and external forces that moved Pinyan and his cohorts into the secretive world of zoophilia -- without displaying any interspecies sexual acts, despite the zoophiles' predilection for videotaping every encounter. Using audio-only interviews of the men who were with Pinyan that fateful night, non-explicit re-creations of key events and a poetic cinematography that underlines the zoo's isolation from the normal world, Devor humanizes people engaged in what most of us would deem unthinkable acts. We are not who we appear to be, the movies tagline, refers to the secretive zoo subculture and to humanity as a whole. The Webster Film Series screens this provocative film at 8 p.m. Friday through Sunday (June 22 through 24) at Webster Universitys Moore Auditorium (470 East Lockwood Avenue, Webster Groves; 314-968-7487 or www.webster.edu/films). Tickets are $5 to $6.

MONROE, La. (AP) - A Monroe man's attempt to get rid of snakes
in his yard ended up sending his wife to the hospital and burning
down his shed.
The News-Star reports, the man, whose name the Monroe Fire
Department did not immediately release, apparently started several
fires with pieces of paper in his shed and around his yard in an
attempt to eliminate several snakes.
The shed caught fire and sent smoke billowing into the couple's
nearby home.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze Wednesday shortly after they
arrived on the scene.
Fire investigator Tommy James says the man will be cited for
unauthorized burning, and police say the man will likely have to
appear in court.

9/3/2012 Update: A reader in the comments is reporting that he saw this car sold under a different VIN (one digit off) previously. Always advisable to check the paperwork against chassis numbers upon purchase. Special thanks to BaT reader Steven L. for the sleuth work!
From 9/2/2012:
This 1987 BMW 518i is a European model that is said to have been imported and federalized when nearly new. The seller adds that it runs and drives great with only 69k miles on the odo, and is completely rust free. Compared to North American e28s, the base model 518i was significantly lighter, though it had few luxuries and was powered by the aging M10 4-cylinder. Find it here on eBay in Atlanta, Georgia without reserve.
A 725tds makes nearly (7 fewer lb/ft) as much torque as a 730i with the M60 V8, so a stoplight race might be closer than you think.

518i was introduced in Germany as of MY 1985, before that the 518 with carburator and 90BHP was sold. In Sweden we had the 518i from the beginning of the E28 as well as well as the only with Japan to recive the E12 518i, this due to our exhaust laws.
The 518i even with 105BHP was still 3sec faster to 100km/h than a ´87 Ford Taurus 2,5 and just 0,4sec after a Taurus 3,0 so compared to the same ages cars the performance wasn't that bad. (0-100km/h in 12,6sec) all numbers are official from the makers.
The lowest powered 7series E23 was sold only in Belgium and to German authoritys; 725i with 150BHP, but the weakest 7series of them all is the E38 725 tds with 143BHP (built 1995-2000). The ones that think they have seen a 720 have in fact seen a 728i.

I think that clock puts out more power than the engine.
Not that mileage is that important on what appears to be a solid older car, but it seems that the only federalization this car underwent was the replacement of the kph speedo with and mph one. Wonder what the original kph speedo showed? So, 69k miles, borken speedo or not, really doesn't tell ANY of the mileage story.
On another note, it weighs 2700 pounds. That must be similar to a US-market 318i of the same vintage
Perfect "daughter-with-a-new-license" car. Solid, safe, unbreakable.
And slow.
Most cheap and easy to work on. They rust inside the firewall air intake and around the trunk frame. Also slowly.
But the E28 bodies, along with the E30, were much better rust-proofed than the preceding E12s and E21s. I think they offered a 7-year body warranty against rust. Not that you'd be able to call on it now.
They sold quite a few in South Africa, as BMW also built/CKD'd them there.
Not collectable at all, but you could do an M5 tribute.
Or just buy an E28 M5.
never mind, I see someone already posted the TTAC link. Dang, wish there was a comment edit function here.
Ed L. has a good point. The passing times are pretty poor. The other indication is that the 0-100 KPH time is 0.9 seconds longer than the 0-60 MPH — that's almost a full second to eke out another 2 point something MPH, so the engine must be really running out of breath.
Also, I see coverage of this car on another site saying it was previously known to have a broken odometer, and the VIN is misrepresented in the listing. (Not sure how BaT feels about posting links commenting adversely on its stories; if someone tells me I won't get spanked, I will post the link in a comment).
This is the BMW equivalent of a Chevy Biscayne.
Also, I should add that these weigh in at 400lbs+ lighter than a North American e28, which, along with the euro-features, makes it a fantastic base to build up a sporting e28 if comfortable communting in something different isn't you bag.
I've never driven a 518i, but I have driven an e28 520 small-six autobox.
If you get the sports saloon concept out of your head, its a perfectly fine commuter – stable, smooth, comfortable, roomy yet compact (by modern standards), fantastic visability, and the lack of luxuries makes it easier to keep/service.
Think of it as a German Volvo 240 and you get the idea…
Speaking of low power, how about the 725 model, a 2.5 litre inline 6 of 150hp in their biggest car! Ouch.
The car ran on the July 30th dealer sale with the following VIN.
Announcements: Not Actual Miles, Odometer Inop, Grey Market Vehicle.
These were an integral part of rental fleets back then — room for five and their gear, and easy on the gas.
Who cares about performance when you're just terrorizing the locals with your Germans-on-vacation driving?
Retro, I think you misread that test. I read it as saying it was doing 151 kph (94 mph) at the end of a standing kilometer run. The quarter mile was 17.7 sec at 78 MPH.
151 MPH top speed? Not even off a cliff.
id leave it as is , just do some maintenance and drive it ..
@ Retro — that's 151 klics, NOT mph!! The road test shows 108-110 mph top speed, which is more than I'da thought. My '72 Bav 3.0 tops out @ 125-130 mph and would be seriously over-rev'd at 151 downhill!
I know that for many people, the allure of the BMW lies in the amazing six zylinder engines, the noise, the power and so on, and I used to be among the worst offenders! If it didn't have a six, I didn't care.
That is, until a client of mine insisted we go for a ride in his E30 318i with a fresh turbo install. No complaints about the power, car still gets 30+ on the highway, and you have the unique distinction of driving a BMW that makes turbo noises! Win win. This of course is assuming that you like turbo lag (I do), because while I love the little M10s, there isn't enough gas flowing through them at low revs to get a turbo of any size going. Oh well, more excuse to rev the nuts off the thing!
My mistake – A/C exists.
Nice looking car. No A/C in Atalanta… old school!
My boss brought one of these back from Germany. We switched cars one night and I had to drop into 3rd gear to make it up the BIG hill I usually went up in my wife's Celica at 70 in 5th. Sorry it was a 318!
@jboat…..what you're talking about already exists, the 535is. Even though they are tough finds,mother are out there, and buying one in decent shape is going to cost you less than converting this one. I think this auction still hasn't approached it's ceiling.
Oh yeah — and paint.
This shell, in this condition, is well worth a fair price. How many of these you gonna find w/o rust? If it really IS rust-free. And the chin-dragging isn't a sign of something serious.
Buy, strip out the lawnmower powerplant and sell to a 3-guy who needs one. You'd make back a fair share of your purchase price right there. Then the good times begin.
This one is absolutely not worth preserving as it is. (I'm sure everyone including BMW would sooner forget about it). So make it worthwhile. Decent six, M or no, wheels, suspension, brakes seats and dash. You could end up with a real fun-mobile for not a huge up-front. And you wouldn't be dealing with rust, which takes the fun out of any build.
Perfect starting platform for a big straight 6. And you already get euro bumpers!
@ toronado455
You should try the 316, preferably a 4-speed. No acceleration and 4.5K rpm on the freeway.
The 1.8 is sufficient to keep up with traffic, but not much more than that and I'm pretty confident you'll get better mileage with a bigger engine. This is just a market-filler made for countrys with heavy taxations on engine size.
Norway being one of those markets, these were a common sight a few years back and I so nearly ended up with a well kept, low-mile example of one a few years back. It was even the same spec and colors.
But really, what make BMW's great to me is the straight six howl, without that they are damn near pointless objects. Even the 2.0 will do.
I suppose a well-kept sub-model like this is a good basis for creating something exciting, and the price looks right so far.
Might be a good starting point for an M engine transplant/suspension/brake upgrade. Or not. Amazing interior – not even a tach! I'd want to know what sort of leak created that mildew patch on the front passenger floor, however.
So this is the 1.8 liter from the 318i… in a 5-series? I thought the 318 was always regarded as underpowered. So what does that make this?
You could put another 200K miles on this.

But at Lasch Building Saturday, nearly two dozen Nittany Lion football players gathered to lend support to the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon going on at the nearby Bryce Jordan Center.
The Dance Marathon, or THON as it is more commonly called in these parts, raises money to help children and their families fight pediatric cancer. Over the past 34 years, it has generated more than $14 million for the cause. It is the world's largest student-run philanthropy.
Each year, kids who have been or are being helped by THON attend the event to lend inspiration to the roughly 700 dancers who participate. And the Lasch get-together, now in its third year, is a chance for those kids and their families to take a break from the proceedings at the BJC while getting a true inside look at the storied Nittany Lion football program.
This year a dozen kids and their families has the red … er … blue carpet rolled out for them at Lasch, the Penn State's football program's luxurious 93,000-square foot office and training facility. Each family had two Nittany Lion players give a guided tour of the facilities.
"This is great," said Cheryl Karchner, whose 10-year-old son, Charlie, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia when he was 5. "It is something he'll remember for the rest of his life."
Thanks to help from THON, that life is shaping up to be a long one for the boy from West Hazleton, Pa. Charlie went through more than two years of difficult treatment for his disease, including chemotherapy, and money raised by THON allowed Cheryl and her husband Charles to cover the bills at Hershey Medical Center
Charlie has been free of symptoms for more than two years now, and members of his family are nearly moved to tears when they think of the total strangers who aided them.
"It is very heartwarming and something everyone should see," Pat Karchner, Charlie's grandmother, said of THON. "It makes you look at life a little differently. I'm so proud of my grandson and my family."
The visit to Lasch was heartwarming, too, but in a different way, especially for Charlie and his sister Kayla. Their hosts were outgoing offensive lineman Rich Ohrnberger and laid-back linebacker Tyrell Sales, and the duo immediately dubbed Charlie with a nickname to make him feel like part of the team.
"Chuck, what's taking you so long?" Ohrnberger jokingly barked during one part of the tour. "Move it, move it."
"Chuck" and the other kids were invited into the Penn State locker room, where they were warned not to step on the giant "S" in the middle of the carpet lest they be forced to pay the standard penalty — 10 pushups. Despite the stern warning, one toddler stumbled over the letter. Since he wasn't quite big enough to do his 10, his host, 6-foot-5, 311-pound Gerald Cadogan, did the pushups with the boy on his back.
Elsewhere in the locker room, kids tried on massive helmets and shoulder pads, and posed for photos with the various players.
Next up was a tour of the trainers' room and then the program's spacious weight room. Then there was a stop in the players' lounge where the athletes and kids played pool (Chuck and Kayla beat Ohrnberger in eight ball) and watched TV.
Charlie (middle) and Kayla (right) took Ohrnberger to school in pool.
Next came a walk through the academic support area, stops in the various position meeting rooms and finally a tour of the coaches' offices.
Then everyone gathered in the theatre-style squad room, where players stood up front and answered questions.
"What is Joe Paterno really like," someone shouted.
"He's grouchy," Ohrnberger cracked, then told how the legendary coach likes to kick offensive linemen in the behind if they don't get into a proper stance during practice.
Soon after someone asked who on the team did the best Paterno impression, and all fingers immediately pointed toward walk-on receiver Patrick Mauti. Without hesitation, Mauti picked up on Ohrnbergers' previous comment and broke into his best Brooklyn-ese.
"That's lousy, get down in your stance!" The entire room erupted in laughter.
The tour lasted just over an hour, which was too short as far as Ohrnberger was concerned.
"I love hanging out with kids and goofing around, and this is a great venue for it," he said.
But the kids and their families had to get back to the Jordan Center. So hugs were shared and hands shaken, and slowly but surely all of the families departed Lasch Building for the short walk to the BJC.
They did, however, leave something behind with the PSU football players.
"They define toughness, these families and their kids," Ohrberger said. "I can't imagine going through what they did. It's inspiring."
"For these kids to be able to smile and still have a great day, it humbles me," added Sayles. "It's unbelievable to hang out with a kid like Chuck."

Chris Rock says a shot of AIDS might whip college students into action.
During an MTV/Clinton Global Initiative event called "Giving" at the Apollo Theater in Harlem Saturday night, the comic responded to one student's comment about not having enough time to volunteer: "I bet if you had AIDS, you'd find time."
Rock was on fire. "MTV and BET can use some of those just-for-money-programs, y'know, infomercials for bass fishing, and turn them into educational programming to inform students of what's out there [so they can volunteer for causes]. We could even get Bono involved, 'cuz Bono can shame anyone into anything," Rock quipped while pointing across the stage at the wee U2 front man, who laughed along.
Also onstage, former President Bill Clinton, pelvic innovator Shakira, chanteuse Alicia Keys, and round table panel moderator, MTV's Sway, who took great pleasure in his own dreadlock-stuffed knit cap. Clinton even alluded to wanting one after Sway introduced him, and for the remainder of the evening, Sway offered to bring anyone "back to my place, about two blocks from here [125th street] and give them a hat." There were no takers.

Security holes poked in Chinese compulsory PC filter plan
Plans to mandate the use of a particular brand of censorware software in China pose a grave security risk, security watchers and net privacy activists warn. All PCs shipped to China from July 1 2009 onwards will be required to bundle a locally brewed application called Green Dam Youth Escort in order to prevent access to " …
So Just like every other piece of censor ware deployed around the world... junk, a security risk, and doesn't do the job it says it does (protecting young minds from the filth and immorality out there on the interwebz.)
Sound familiar?
"By creating a software monoculture the Chinese authorities are creating a risk that a vulnerability in the software, providing it was serious enough to allow remote code injection, could be used to create a huge botnet. More subtle flaws might also be used to create targeted attacks on government computers - a factor that is unlikely to pass unnoticed down at the NSA."
Riiight, so that's different from Microsoft and Windows how exactly?
Mines the one with the <insert distro> Linux Live CD in the pocket
Import barrier or just some pork for Jinhui?
All PCs shipped to China ... will be required to bundle ...
So PC's assembled in China do not require pre-installed spyware. Also, there is nothing about taking you laptop to the market to get the spyware removed (replaced?).
help! help! I'm being repressed!
Mine's the one with the black knights head in the pocket.
required to bundle != required to run
Nowhere do I see it reported as mandatory to run this application. So it isn't censorship or snooping, nor does a security hole cause a potential botnet comprised of every PC in China. As usual the western media, security watchers and privacy activists are hyping this into something it is not. Admitedly if it's recommended by the government then a lot of idiots will run it (think of the children!) but that is a different matter.
Depends on the details
I haven't heard enough details to know if this is a good idea or not... perhaps El Reg can enlighten me?
If this is parental-control software which adults can turn on for their kids, then getting it bundled with the PC seems reasonable. If it's no use then they can turn it off or uninstall it. (You might argue it's a waste of government funds and/or a "stealth tax" on PCs, but there are plenty of ways all governments waste money & tax people).
If this is state-control software where the state says "all computers shall run this filter which cannot be turned off, or else", then that's different. (And in that case, the aim is _not_ for the filter to be 100% effective. Trying to get around the filter will likely be cause enough to be thrown in jail; so it just gives one more way to catch dissidents).
a bad trend
How people are required to follow someone elses poorly executed good intentions.
Wasn't Blair's parting remark after overriding democracy and leading us into a war on lies something like "I meant well"
Just uninstall it.
Even my parents know how to uninstall software.
Even if they made it difficult with malware tactics, computer literate people will be able to and pass this information on. Even if they make it completely impossible to uninstall, no malware survives a format and reinstall.
Or install Linux.
2012 anyone
perfect time for skynet to begin it's world domination plans...
What would be nice
is if this software stopped all the Chinese launched spam I get
Not compatable?
Not compatable with linux? Hah i knew converting was a smart move
Simple solution...
"By creating a software monoculture the Chinese authorities are creating a risk that a vulnerability in the software, providing it was serious enough to allow remote code injection, could be used to create a huge botnet. More subtle flaws might also be used to create targeted attacks on government computers - a factor that is unlikely to pass unnoticed down at the NSA."
Simple enough...
The rest of the world just block traffic from China and you'll never have to worry about the potential risk of botnets again.
@Anon 14:56
I like the way you think.
Surely even the chinese .gov will have to admit their censorship is over the top if people can't access any site outside china without having to go through proxies.
Or maybe they will think their .gov is being even worse with the censorship, in which case maybe some good might come from it.
Two remote arbitary code execution exploits and counting...
Paris, because she has two know paths of ingress, with the constant posibility that more will be discovered to the world at large...

Women We Love Make the White House Correspondents' Dinner Guest List
The red carpet will come out tonight for some of the most famous faces from Hollywood — and Washington. The White House Correspondents' Dinner, which dates back to 1920, is the hottest ticket in the nation's capital. Each year media publications invite celebrities and politicians to join them at their tables for a night of wining, dining, and laughs. This year's reported guest list includes women we love to root for. Like Elizabeth Banks, who charmed us this year playing Effie in The Hunger Games and by sticking up for Planned Parenthood, or Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a mother of two who is dedicated to equal pay for women. They're not alone. Here are 10 women we love who reportedly made this year's list.

Without a Mohawk, Is Mr. T Still Mr. T? Find Out Now
Blogger Ironic Sans couldn't, so he created a Mr. Potato Head-like virtual Mr. T. playset to help himself envision the tough guy with a different look. Check it out -- even if you're not a fan of Mr. T, it's still pretty fun to play with.

Oh my god, now I understand why I never see Mr.T and Samuel Jackson in the same room together... ITS BECAUSE SAMUEL JACKSON IS MR.T! It all makes so much sense now... we've all been so blind! I mean, just take off the beard and the Mohawk and IT'S SAM! I MUST TELL THE WORLD!

This Mr. T. is a real a-hole.
I was a professional photographer in LA for thirty years.
I once did a gig at the Hollywood Palladium in which Mr. T was an invited
guest "star."
He sat directly across from me at one of the guest tables.
A nice man with his young son asked Mr. T for an autograph.
Even though he did it nicely, that a-hole repeatedly ignored the man and
his son.
It wouldn't have been bad if this was a regular event, but he was the guest
at a fund-raiser honoring retarded children!
The kid cried and the dad was very upset.....Mr. T didn't even flinch and
kept eating his lunch.

I've heard this T character is a real a**hole too. I guess he's not acting when he always plays these completely unlikeable characters on TV. He's just being himself.

Flu season has arrived a bit later than expected in Kansas and state officials said the virus is on the rise.
"Influenza is coming later this year than it's ever come in my memory, mid-March is just crazy," said Dr. Kevin Hoppock, family physician.
Dr. Hoppock usually sees influenza patients between December and February, but not this year.
Officials with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment monitor the number of influenza-like cases in the state. They said influenza activity has been steadily increasing over the last several weeks.
"Influenza can come virtually any time. It just depends on where it starts. I think unseasonably warm temperatures probably are part of the reason why it's a little later," said Dr. Hoppock.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have identified Kansas and three bordering states as having a widespread outbreak of influenza. Half of the regions in those states have influenza-like illness cases.
"Influenza vaccination is effective for reducing the chances of getting sick and spreading influenza to others. Additional ways to avoid spreading influenza include covering coughs and sneezes, washing your hands, and staying home when sick," said Dr. Robert Moser, KDHE Secretary and State Health Officer.
Symptoms of the flu may include fevers of 101 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, a runny nose, and a dry cough.
"If you have the high fevers, greater than 101, severe cough, and feel like you're extremely run down, those are signs of influenza," said Dr. Hoppock. "You should go ahead and seek [professional] care, within the first one to two days of the onset of those symptoms."

eclectic institute and rhodiola
12 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1307673 on May 08, 2011
Purchased at iHerb
This Rhodiola from Eclectic Institute is far superior to Now's Rhodiola which seems to have no effect whatsover which seems generally true for all of Now's products. I often substitute with a Now product if the one I want is not in stock which I recently did with Rhodiola as Eclectic Insitute's Rhodiola was out of stock. This Rhodiola is a great asist for a good night's sleep.
Very good quality

This brand is better than the other Rhodiola supplements I have tried. I like how this brand is fresher than the others. Whenever I take it I notice a subtle increase in energy and a very noticible mood boost. I usually take one in the morning and another one in the afternoon. An added benefit of Rhodiola that I have noticed is that I sleep better at night (although during the day when I take Rhodiola I do not feel sleepy or drowsy). Give it a try - I think you'll notice a positive change!
Great Value

Most good quality of Rhodiola is expensive but this brand is at a good price and it has the quality. This keeps me cool, calm, and collective all day. I don't sweat the small stuff and I keep a positive attitude. I love myself so Rhodiola!

One week to get to Canada, iHerb is doing something right. This brand of Rhodiola seems to have everything going for it based on it's write-up. I tried a whole cap (a few times over a few days) and it was more sedating than I wanted. Then I tried opening the cap and take about 1/4 cap and find it gives me the desired 'more focused ' effect I'm looking for.

Members of the Nevada Army Guard 1/221st Calvary are back home tonight after serving a year in Iraq.
About 110 Nevada soldiers are back in the Silver State.
Most returned to the Las Vegas area today but 14 arrived here in reno.
The soldiers bus arrived with with a police escort and as soon as the men disembarked, it was an emotional homecoming.
There was hug after hug, it was the moment everyone had waited for.
It was like a dream, wifes and children alike had waited so long to see their fathers, and today they were reunited.
Since last july, the men traveled more than a million miles in Iraq, providing convoy security.
They were recognized in a special ceremony and given many accalades.
The men were not only grateful to be home, but for their safety. One soldier exclaimed, "We all made it!"
There are still about 200 Nevada National Guard members serving in Iraq and Southwest Asia.
