1998 BMW 540 - 6 speed manual transmission

In on trade at VSR Automobiles Inc. in Toronto is this very nice and clean 540i with a 6 speed box.  This is a very fun and fast car to drive.  Don't let the high kilometers fool you.  This BMW has ben very well maintainned and has a strong motor, transmission and clutch.  I have been happily using this BMW as my driver for months and only now have I put it up for sale.  This is a fun, and cheap toy for BMW fanatics like myself.  I have only done a couple of small mods like an M-spoiler and also new, blacked-out kidney grills.  It has approx 309,800 kilometers and I have put on a few thousand with no issues.  The silver exterior is very clean and rust free with just a few scratches here and there common of a car this old with these KM.  It appears a couple of panels have been painted such as the front passenger fender.  This car comes with a clean accident report from carproof.  It also comes with the books and extra keys.  Overall it is very nice.  The interior is equally as nice.  It does have one thing that i've never seen on any of the many 540's ive bought and that is cloth interior!!!  It acually is very nice and great in the winter!  There is some ripping on a couple of the seats but it is very, very nice overall.  Everything including all power options, AC, heat and windows work.  The only item I found not working is one of the passenger seat power settings.  The car is fitted with 17" wheels with very good Michelin winter tires.  No other sets to come with the car.  The check engine light is also on.  But again, I have been driving this car, had it checked for safety and it won't need much for an ontario safety.  Lot's of clutch left and the motor is strong.

This auction is set up ONLY to accept reasonable offers.  I will NOT give this car away and have no problem driving it, but if I get the right offer it's gone!  Please ask all questions prior to making an offer.  Have all funds in place, look over the vehicle if needed PRIOR to making an offer.  Please do not waste my time as I promise not to waste yours.  This is a good old car.  I sold my last two 6-speed 540's for VERY good money and this one is MUCH nicer so please no low ball offers.  I can arrange shipping anywhere in Canada at a very good dealer rate.  Please email me your postal code for a quote. Car can be viewed anytime by appointment only at my lot at 1974 Dundas St. West.  Always best to call first.  This car is selling as-is where it is.  My company policy is to not safety or etest any old cars.

Thanks for looking,

Vasco,

Check out 90 years of BMW Motorrad in 90 seconds

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

After ninety years in business and first-to-market motorcycle innovations like the one-piece 'tunnel' crankcase, hydraulically dampened front forks and full fairings, as well as that trademark boxer engine, BMW Motorrad is celebrating its nonagenarian status with a video: You can follow the ride on BMW motorcycles from 1923 to now in just 90 seconds.
Okay, so there's more than a video - some anniversary-themed bikes and a new retro boxer model celebrating the R 32 "airhead' from 1923 also commemorate the occasion. But you can start with the video, and that's below.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, BMW i8, Ford F-150 win 2015 Green Car Awards in DC [w/video]

Tue, Jan 27 2015

There were three shiny trophies handed out at the Washington Auto Show last week by Green Car Journal, and they went to three different examples of what "green" means in the automotive industry today. The Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel won the award for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year, the BMW i8 was named the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year and the Ford F-150 took the 2015 Green Car Technology Award honor. There is a case to be made that the aluminum body of the new Ford truck will make a bigger impact in the overall fuel usage in the US than almost any other vehicle, given the numbers of F-150s that Ford sells each year. The B20 biodiesel-capable Jeep gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. And the i8 puts all sorts of new, fuel-saving technologies into an attractive package. Looking over the winners, and the list of finalists you can see in our photo gallery, and you can see that the definition of green is expanding every year. You can watch Green Car Journal editor Ron Cogan hand out the 2015 awards in the video below and we'll for sure be paying attention to what wins next year. 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year and Green Car Technology Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has named the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel its 2015 Green SUV of the Year™ and the BMW i8 its 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year™, with the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 earning the magazine's 2015 Green Car Technology Award™. Winners were determined by a jury of Green Car Journal editors and automotive experts. The prestigious awards were announced in Washington, D.C. today at a Green Car Awards™ press conference held during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day at the Washington Convention Center. "These are truly commendable vehicles representing the 'best-of-the-best' in so many ways," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The auto industry's very early focus on small cars and efficiency-for-environment tradeoffs has evolved to now include a more dynamic field of 'greener' models in all vehicle classes. Those wanting greater efficiency or better environmental performance are no longer constrained by limited choices or vehicle types that fall outside their top purchase preferences.

BMW solar roof helps i3 drivers even when sun isn't shining

Wed, Jan 7 2015

At the Consumer Electronics Show, BMW has announced a release window for its i Wallbox Pro that unites domestic solar power and the electricity grid. The box itself was shown off during last year's i8 drives and it rests inside a solar carport to control the simultaneous delivery of both solar power and the electric grid energy to recharge an i8. One drive attendee wrote how the Wallbox Pro display showed that it was providing 3.4 total kW to the coupe, with 2.8 kW from the sun and 0.6 kW from the grid. At CES, BMW said the i Wallbox Pro, brought to life by BMW DesignWorks, will be available in 2016. For homes that aren't equipped with solar power, or when solar isn't available, the system will draw power from the grid when it's least expensive. The Munich manufacturer also announced a concept storage solution using discarded batteries from its electric cars, where excess energy from solar or other sources could be held for later use for a vehicle or the home itself. BMW will be demonstrating the i Wallbox Pro at CES and the press release below has more information. BMW i Home Charging Services unveiled at the CES Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Pioneering integrated charging solution for electric vehicles brings further reduction in charging costs and integrates home solar generating systems with the household electricity system. Munich / Las Vegas- January 5, 2015... At the Consumer Electronics Show CES 2015 in Las Vegas (6 – 9 January 2015) BMW i will unveil a further innovative product from its 360° ELECTRIC portfolio: BMW i Home Charging Services. This smart solution for home charging of electric and plug-in hybrid BMW models is based on the smart home-enabled BMW i Wallbox Pro system already presented by BMW in spring 2014. How the smart charging service works. Using BMW i Home Charging Services, the vehicle is charged with homegenerated solar power whenever this is available. At other times, or if the household does not have a solar generating system, the vehicle is automatically charged at the cheapest off-peak rates. This makes it possible to take advantage of flexible electricity pricing that varies depending on the time of day. In the USA, this can result in savings of up to 800 dollars a year. With this fully automated charging service, customers get a simple-to-operate system that integrates vehicle charging with the household electrical system and online-based data systems.
