THIS IS A NO RESERVE LISTING.

This is my excellent 1998 BMW 540i Sport 6-speed with an AC Schnitzer M5 body kit, M5 wheels and performance upgrades.  With an estimated 350 horsepower, killer looks and excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, this car is really exceptional.  You can look at this car one of two ways: either this is the best 540i Sport 6-speed you'll ever find, or darn close to an M5 for a lot less money.

This car has 109,811 miles but it looks and drives like a car with 40,000 miles.  You'll see me use many superlatives throughout this description, because of the truly excellent condition of this superb car.

I am a huge BMW enthusiast and I've owned nearly every significant BMW produced in the past 30 years.  This particular car is hands-down, one of the finest BMWs I've ever driven.  The looks, the power, the sound, the brakes, the handling, the comfort and reliability are all just superb.  This is about as close as you can get to an M5 without spending huge money.

This car has been serviced and upgraded by a nationally-renowned BMW specialty shop in our area.  The man who worked on the car is a worldwide BMW expert and has been called on to write numerous articles for "Roundel" the BMW Car Club of America's magazine.  So you know that all the work done to the car was done right, and no corners were cut. 

This car has the following factory equipment:

  • 4.4L V8 engine
  • 6-speed manual transmission
  • factory Sport package
  • power moonroof
  • leather and heated Sport seats
  • AM/FM CD and cassette premium audio system with DSP
  • automatic climate control with A/C (blows cold)
  • anti-lock brakes
  • Dynamic Stability Program
  • front and side airbags

In addition, the car has the following upgrades:

  • AC Schnitzer M5 body kit
  • UUC short shift kit (amazingly tight, short throws)
  • lowered performance suspension
  • 18" M5 wheels with Goodyear Eagle GT tires
  • AFE Magnum Force cold air intake
  • JET performance tuning chip
  • OBX-R stainless steel dual exhaust
  • "angel eyes" HID headlights and updated signals at all four corners
  • cross-drilled brake rotors on all four wheels

I also have the original books and owner's manuals in their original case.

This car is in truly outstanding condition.  The paint and body are excellent, the paint is gorgeous and the body is straight and clean.  There is very little in the way of stone nicks, etc- this car is superbly clean.  The 18" M5 wheels have no curb rash and they're in great condition. The AC Schnitzer M5 body kit fits perfectly and the pieces have super high-quality paint to match the car.

The interior of this car is nearly unbelievable- there is literally no wear and no signs of age.  The leather seats are nearly like new with no wear, and the interior plastics, upholstery and wood are superb.  The interior of this car look like that of a 2 year old car. 

The mechanical condition of this 540i is excellent.  The engine, transmission, suspension, etc are working great. The car has no known mechanical issues and it drives exceptionally well.  The engine is smooth and hugely powerful.  The engine sounds outstanding with a great V8 rumble due to the cold-air intake and stainless free-flow exhaust system.  The handling is amazingly tight and sharp without being harsh.  Everything is "tight" on the car, the suspension, steering, brakes, transmission, etc.  There is nothing loose or sloppy about the car- it is precise, tight and solid in every way- again it feels like a car with 40,000 miles. 

This is a 1998 car and as such it is not brand new.  While this is a great car, please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car.  This is a list of anything and everything I know of that is wrong with the car: the center display which shows the onboard computer/ odometer is hard to read (common for these cars), the airbag light is on, and the sunroof does not open.  That's it.  This is a superb, great-condition performance machine that you'll enjoy every minute of driving. 

The car currently has 109,811 miles but this will increase as I'm planning to take this car for a trip this weekend.  Incidentally, this car is totally reliable, dependable and fully mechanically sound.  There are absolutely no known mechanical problems, and I'd trust this car to drive to California and back. 

This BMW has a clean and clear OH title ready to transfer.

You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home, or you can have the car shipped.  Please call Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481 for a shipping quote.

This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH.

BMW i8 named Autoblog's 2014 Technology of the Year [w/video]

Thu, Nov 20 2014

The winner of Autoblog's 2014 Technology of the Year award was given this year for not just one technology, but for how a suite of technologies worked together to make one impressive vehicle. The BMW i8 was named the winner Wednesday night at the Belasco Theater in downtown Los Angeles, just outside the Los Angeles Auto Show. Autoblog's editorial staff agreed that the i8, which drew crowds of attention during our testing days, represents a future of driving that we can't wait to see happen. "I do believe that green vehicles solve a very fundamental problem, and if a car like the i8 can get a rich man with good knees (to get in and out of the car) to drive something with a plug instead of a 12-mpg sports car, then mission accomplished," says Sebastian Blanco, editor of AutoblogGreen and one of our judges. The panel reviewed nearly 50 qualified submissions from readers, editorial staff and industry, the panel of judges named the following as finalists: Dodge's SRT Performance Pages (read more here) The Subaru Eyesight forward collision warning system (read more here) The Performance Data Recorder in the 2015 Chevy Corvette (read more here) The 1.0-liter Ecoboost engine from Ford (read more here) Chrysler's 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine (read more here) Ultimately, we picked the car that excited us the most. The BMW i8 has a throaty exhaust note when accelerating. It's got carbon fiber, and a plug-in hybrid system that uses a small 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine and an electric motor. It has through-the-road all-wheel drive, and in Europe it'll come with laser beams for headlights. All that, and it's a massive eye catcher. People stop and stare when they see this car, for good reason. It's simply gorgeous. For a more in-depth look at our testing of the car, click here.

Check out the trick way you access the tire valve on this BMW Alpina B6

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

The wheels are one of the first things you notice when checking out the 2015 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe. The 20-inch aluminum alloy rollers have 21 spokes that spray out from their hubs, creating one of Alpina's signature design features. But there's also plenty of function to go along with the stylistic form of this hotted-up BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe.
By rotating the Alpina roundel and unlocking the center hub, you gain access to the tire valve and bolts, which are hidden inside. They're literally kept under lock and key, and they protect your Alpina's wheels from the elements and theft. This unique center-fill system employing a hollow spoke isn't a new setup for the favored BMW tuner, but since Autoblog had one in our offices this week, we thought we'd take the opportunity to show the unique mechanism in case you haven't seen it before. Check it out in our brief video below.

Alpina D3 may be coming to Frankfurt with 350 hp, AWD

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Rumors are swirling that Alpina, the tuning house that specializes in all things BMW, will followup its Geneva debut of the B3 Bi-Turbo with an oil-burning variant slated for debut at September's Frankfurt Motor Show. The news comes from Auto Zeitung, which reports that the second-generation D3 will be based off the Europe-only 335d.
This is a departure from the last D3, which had the four-cylinder turbo-diesel from the BMW 123d in a 3 Series body. The new model is expected to use a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-six, which will generate 350 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. That should scoot it to 62 miles per hour in under five seconds (likely while towing a tree stump). Both rear- and all-wheel drive should be available on the D3, and we imagine the thrill of this much power channeled through just the two rear wheels to be akin to skydiving sans parachute.
For our European friends that want an Alpina D3, but don't need more torque than any American full-size pickup, there may be plans to offer a four-cylinder variant that still delivers Alpina performance without a compromise in economy. We'll have more on the Alpina D3 when it debuts at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
