RE-LISTED, WITH LOWER RESERVE
This listing is for a 1997 540i BMW e39, v8, automatic with the "S" transmission feature the car runs good the engine is strong, and so is the transmission the vehicle has a salvage title due to theft recovery back in 2002 it was repaired and driven and registered in california DMV until 6/11. it has been unregistered since driven on private property, occasionally turned on for good reasons i dont want the car anymore, ive done a number of maintenance repairs that come customary to this model vehicle like: valley pan gasket vanos gasket service valve cover gaskets all of the cooling hoses fan clutch cooling system flush replaced the radiator transmission service flush and probably more but thats all i can remember now. factory rims and tires, the tires have ok tread but i would replace since tires crack over time, the rims are in good condition the interior is ok, the leather has scuffs but no real tears except for small one on the driver seat back rest. mostly everything on the vehicle works as it should down to the details. the back rear passenger window elevator is bad the sunroof went bad a year ago, and i bought the whole replacement mechanism, its ready to install but i dont want to work on it anymore so i will be included in the sale of the vehicle for the new owner to do, ( i will put it in the trunk) the paint is custom white with gold pearl, looks really nice. but needs work. There is cosmetic damage to the front bumper cover and hood, (as you can see in the pictures) and the trunk lid has hard scratches and plenty of paint nicks from placing thins on the trunk. it will most likely need a new fuel pump, sometime in the near future, i replaced this one many times, BMW's dont like to be parked. AC blows air but not cold. The check engine light is on and the code says it needs the O2 sensor. dont remember what bank, but this will need to be done before it gets smogged for california. this vehicle is sold as is. with a low reserve customer to pick up, or some sort of pick up service can be accommodated the vehicle is in 92111 zip code in a business park. i have no problem taking it to a shipping yard/service or such local location as long as its not too far. Thank you for looking. |

BMW recalling a grand total of three X3s over instrument panel defect
Wed, 18 Dec 2013We've seen big recalls and we've seen small ones. Some involve millions of vehicles, and some - like the Infiniti Q50 recall on which we reported just the other day - involve just a couple dozen. But this has to be the smallest recall we've seen yet.
"Due to a production process error" in the BMW X3, states the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice below, "the team seam on the instrument panel was not manufactured correctly." Big friggin' whoop, you say? Well, NHTSA points out that it could hinder the deployment of the airbag and send fractures flying everywhere.
The problem was discovered in a select few examples of the 2013 BMW X3 - both xDrive 28i and 35i models - manufactured in the later part of February this year. And by "select few," we literally mean a few - as in three. Three examples are being recalled. If you happen to be one of those three owners, expect to hear from your local dealership.
BMW 1 Series GT spied in 7-seat trim
Mon, 20 May 2013As BMW prepares to introduce its first-ever front-wheel drive car, the upcoming 1 Series GT, it looks like there will be at least two versions of the car. A conventional-looking hatchback was spotted testing late last year, but now we see an extended-length version in order to accommodate a third row of seats.
Judging by these spy shots, this 1 Series GT prototype has received an extended wheelbase, larger rear doors and more upright D-pillars compared to our previous spy shots (show in the gallery below) all with the aim of creating additional passenger and cargo space. Like the smaller 1 Series GT, this longer model would likely carry over the same powertrain options, which are expected to consist of three- and four-cylinder engines, a hybrid system and the choice of front- or all-wheel drive. The 1 Series GT could make its debut this fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but we might have to wait until next year to see the people mover.
Consumer Reports' first motorcycle reliability report finds Japanese brands ahead
Sat, 22 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its first ever study of motorcycle reliability, and students of its ratings on cars might notice a suspicious similarity - Japanese brands require fewer repairs than the leading American or German brands.
The study analyzed the reliability of 4,680 bikes owned by CR subscribers and found that Yamaha had the best ratings, with just one in ten bikes built between 2009 and 2012 requiring a repair over a four-year period. The makers of the R1 and R6 sport bikes were closely followed by Kawasaki and Honda, while one out of every four of the rumbling bikes from Harley-Davidson experienced an issue. BMW had the worst rating of the brands represented, with one in three bikes having problems.
According to CR, neither Suzuki nor Triumph owners provided enough information for a reliable rating. Based on the responses received, though, Suzuki would have finished with the other Japanese brands and Triumph, being English, would have been one of the less reliable makes.
