2000 Bmw E39 M5 Dinan Ac Schnitzer Alpina, Low Miles, No Reserve!!! on 2040-cars
Elizabeth, New Jersey, United States
|
Up for auction is one of the best driver's cars, and perhaps the best handling 4-door sedan ever made - the E39 BMW M5. Its combination of brute power, luxurious accommodations, and precise handling made it a favorite among car enthusiasts the world over. Its 400+ horsepower engine, mated to a responsive Getrag 6-speed manual make it supercar fast for economy car money.
Here's a detailed description of this particular car. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. You can reach me at (908)247-1055. Engine/Drivetrain The 5.0L V8 engine in this car is simply amazing. It revs insanely fast, and sounds amazing. The intakes are stock, with OEM air filters in good shape. The car does not leak any oil or any other fluid. The cooling system was serviced 2 months ago with new OEM thermostat and coolant flush, as well as O2 sensors. Receipt for all services from independent shop in included. The engine burns no oil, and although has a slight traditional VANOS rattle at idle, there are no leaks in the VANOS system. The car has a Dinan Stage 1 ECU installed. This increases the rev limiter to 7300 rpm, and removes the factory 155 mpg speed limiter. The receipt for the Dinan ECU is included. The "//M" badge on the top of the engine is a bit faded, and the windshield washer cap for the reservoir is missing. The Transmission is a very responsive Getrag 6-speed manual. There are no crunches or grinds in any gear, and engagement is smooth. The driveline is completely smooth and has no vibration while driving at all. The bushings and linkages all feel very tight and in great condition. The car has a factory-installed limited-slip differential that functions beautifully and helps the car handle in quick starts and high-speed bends. Exhaust The Exhaust is stock manifolds into a Dinan catback with polished stainless steel tips, which was over $1800 new, (receipt included). The car sounds absolutely amazing and very exotic. It's whisper quiet while cruising, but very loud when you open the throttle. A great addition to the drivability of the car, and with the addition of the ECU, it produces well in excess of the stock 400 horsepower. If you'd like to know what it sounds like click below for a YouTube video of a similar setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywcrYM1llko Exterior The car's Titanium Silver Metallic exterior is in generally good condition, but it does have a few issues. Previously, the car was backed into while parked and incurred damage to the driver's side front and rear doors, along with the rocker panel. The parts were replaced with OEM replacements and painted and blended with the rest of the car. A receipt from the bodyshop, along with warranty for the work is included. The moldings on the driver's side of the car are from the non-M 5-series, but color-matched to the rest of the trim. There is a small dent on the driver's side rear passenger's door, which can likely be popped out. Doors have no alignment issues. The mirrors were painted flat black to match the exterior trim. The front kidney grilles are aftermarket, and have a few fitment issues, and the hood appears to have some body filler behind the grilles, but it isn't noticeable. There are small cracks and paint chips on the front bumper on the passenger's side, and some scratches on the rear bumper. The rear spoiler is a Genuine Alpina. However, when it was installed, it appears to have some slight damage to the passenger's side bottom, where a metal screw is exposed and there's a small gap in the bodywork. The rear lower valence has been painted in a scratch-proof black bedliner material. The paint can be polished to a very deep shine and no body panels have any alignment issues. The car has no rust on the exterior of the car. Interior The interior is in amazing condition. The seats and door panels are 2-tone Sport trim, with silver Ostrich print trim. There are no rips in the seats, but the driver's seat has a little bit of wear. It can likely be massaged out with a good conditioner to be made 100 percent. It looks great as-is. The car's original trim was brushed aluminum, wrapped in 3M 1080 Brushed Titanium Vinyl. It looks awesome with the color combination and ties the car together. The shifter boot is in good condition, but has a small tear at the top, which isn't noticeable from the driver's side. The carpets are a deep black and are in great shape. The cup holders are in working shape and aren't cracked or broken. In addition, a TEC foldable aluminum cup holder ($95) is installed in the storage compartment behind the ashtray. The trunk panels are in good shape, however the foldable top panel has some fabric missing from the top right corner and you can see the wood underneath. In addition, there's a sticker on the right side of the trunk that was unable to remove. No air pump is included, and most of the BMW tools are intact. The car has a power rear sunshade and rear manual window shades, all in great shape and make the car feel much more luxurious. All original owner's manuals are included. Audio/Electronics The car's audio system is the BMW Premium Audio with DSP and Navigation. An upgraded 16:9 Widescreen Navigation display unit is installed from a 2001 BMW X5. It has zero dead pixels and works amazingly. I will include a cassette to AUX adapter. The car's audio system works flawlessly and the subwoofers and tweeters work well to make a strong sound stage. No Navigation CD is included. All electronics on the car work flawlessly. The car's gauge cluster has the common issue of bleeding LCD screen, but a new LCD strip in included for the next owner to install. The headlights on the car are upgraded OEM Self-leveling BMW HID/halo units with 4300K HID Philips bulbs. The car has been upgraded with factory daytime running lights and LED Halos. The fog light bulbs are new. One key is included, but the keyless entry functions on the key do not work. The car locks and unlocks with the driver's door lock, as well as summer open/close functions. Suspension The car has factory suspension, and everything is in great shape. The car has had a recent alignment, and the printout for the measurements and specs will be included in the sale. Climate Control/AC The dual-zone climate control works flawlessly and has no leaks or issues with either heat or air conditioning. The LCD has no bleeding and works like new. Wheels/Tires The Wheels are 19" AC Schnitzer Type IV staggered units. They were originally black and coated in Plastidip Real Aluminum. This is entirely reversible, but I felt it ties the look of the car together. The wheels have some curb rash on them, and the front right wheel has a gouge in the lip. All wheels and tires have been balanced and don't vibrate at any speed. The tires are a matched set of Continental ContiSport Contact 235/40/19 front, and 265/35/19 rear, with more than 50% tread depth. They are very sticky and hold the road quite well without losing grip on high-G turns. Brakes The rotors on this car are slotted rotors front and rear, with lots of life left on the front and rear pads. However, the emergency brake shoes are worn and render the emergency brake useless. They would need to be changed to use the emergency brake properly. The car still stays in place if it is left in gear. Drivability This car will make you fall in love with German cars. It has neck-snapping acceleration from a stop, and sounds as exotic as any Ferrari, while having room for 5 with luggage. It's the perfect daily driver or weekend mountain carver. It truly is the Ultimate Driving machine. Vehicle History The car was garaged for the last few years and driven very sparingly. The car has 84,105 miles.

BMW i3s traction control tech going in all BMW, Mini cars
Wed, Jan 3 2018The BMW i3s is essentially a warmed-up version of the i3 electric car we all know and love. The performance boost isn't huge — just 14 horsepower and 15 pound-feet of torque — but it also gets a new suspension, wheels and tires as well as an improved traction control system. We found the car to benefit from all the updates when we drove it for our First Drive Review, but now BMW has offered up more details on just how the traction control system of the i3s helps make it better to drive. The company says it'll expand the technology to all future BMW and Mini models as well. The i3s's system is calibrated to help it to pull away quickly from a stop, making full use of the instantaneous torque offered by the electric motor. It also improves stability when accelerating out of corners, when using regenerative braking and, of course, when the road conditions are less than ideal. The results are palpable, and with the other improvements the i3s definitely feels stronger off the line, as we found on our drive. It's also about a half-second quicker to 60 miles per hour, at 6.8 seconds. The secret is in the response time of the stability control, which BMW claims is 50 times faster than the conventional system. This is made possible by moving the control process into the powertrain itself, rather than a remote unit. This reduces the signal path and, thus, the response time of the traction control system. BMW's Head of Chassis Development, Peter Langen, said of it, "With their high levels of torque and instantaneous responses to every movement of the accelerator, electric motors already make significantly higher demands on driving stability systems than conventional power units." While engineered to make the most of the electric motor, BMW says the shorter cycles of this traction control system show promise for internal combustion vehicles as well. As such, we'll begin to see the improved technology applied across the BMW and Mini lineups going forward. Related Video:
BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is a minivan by any other name
Wed, Mar 4 2015The Ultimate Driving Mini Minivan? Too early to say, considering that we've not yet driven it and so we don't know if it's the ultimate anything. But the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer definitely slots into place as a small MPV in the European market, hence the mini minivan designation, though it doesn't have sliding doors. We don't have any indication that this 2 Series variant will come to the United States, in case you were wondering. With the option of a third row, this seven-passenger, front-wheel-drive (or optionally, all-wheel-drive) machine from BMW is sure to ruffle a few enthusiast feathers, but it also has the potential to be a big seller for the German brand. Available with a range of three- and four-cylinder engines offering between 116 and 192 horsepower, the 2 Series Gran Tourer packs a lot of space into a very small platform. It may not be the prettiest vehicle to wear the Roundel, but it may be the most practical. See it for yourself from every angle in our high-res gallery of live images above, and feel free to read more in the press release below. The new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer. 11.02.2015 With the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer, BMW has carved out yet another new vehicle segment. With its generous space, versatility and groundbreaking flexibility, the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is the world's first premium compact model to offer up to seven seats and fully meet the mobility requirements of young families. Compact yet capacious. Despite its compact dimensions – measuring just 4,556 millimetres long, 1,800 mm wide and 1,608 mm high – the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer offers ample space and a generous luggage compartment that can be extended in capacity from 645 to 805 litres. With the rear-seat backrests folded down, this rises to an impressive 1,905 litres of load space. Ensuring maximum variability is the standard-fitted fore-aft sliding rear seat bench – with a 40:20:40-split backrest that folds down at the press of a button – which allows three child seats to be fitted. Extending the possibilities even further is an optional third row of seats which can be completely lowered into the loading floor. Maximising the vehicle's everyday practicality is a range of storage options for all three rows of seats, as well as rails on the front-seat backrests with fold-out tables attached.
Meet the inventor of the BMW 3 Series wagon
Sat, 11 May 2013It's hard to imagine, but once upon a time, there were only two BMW 3 Series variants: the coupe and sedan. Back before gran coupes, convertibles and yes, even touring models were available, buyers could only get their 3 Series fix if it came with two or four doors and a fixed roof. Back in the mid '80s, BMW engineer Max Reisbock was having some trouble fitting his whole family into his four door. Rather than suck it up and buy a van, he picked up a wrecked 3 Series and got to cutting in a buddy's garage. Months later, he had the very first 3 Series Touring ever built.
At first, he kept the the car to himself, using it to haul friends and family around, but he eventually showed it off to his friends at work. When the BMW executives found out about his project, they called him up to take a closer look. After putting an eyeball on the car, they took it, copied his design, made a few tweaks and quickly rolled out the first production 3 Series Touring. How's that for validation? Check out the video below for Reisbock's story.
