Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"As-is. All systems functioning, rust-free (California car, never in salt or snow), no fluid leaks, no oil smoke, no SES or DSC or other warning lights illuminated."

Very-well maintained by a picky owner. Dinan trans. programming and Dinan rear diff. No accidents ever, as far as I know. Lifetime non-smoker (car and occupants!). Very clean. M5 front bumper cover. Lowered, upgraded very firm (but not particularly harsh) suspension. This car is well-sorted, reliable, and very powerful. Everything is working, including the a/c, which is very important lately! Recent (over the past 5000 miles or so) work includes four new tires (265/235-19), new front brake pads, new power steering hoses, new engine mounts, belts, coolant level sensor, intake gaskets, valve-cover gaskets, timing cover gaskets, battery, Mobil 1 (15W-50) oil change plus filter (performed last week), spark plugs, one coil, and a secondary throttle solenoid and cable (DSC parts).
This car is an absolute blast to drive, and generates lots of 'nice car!' comments. It can be a sleeper if you drive gently, and is much like a stock pre-VANOS 540i in terms of acceleration up to about 3000 rpm, then pulls very, very hard after that. No top-speed limiter, I think. I'm not brave enough to find out, nor is it safe enough to try that on public roads, in my opinion. This car might do an honest 175, I don't know. I have not tracked it, but it would be awesome at a Driver's School, I suspect. Dinan does very thorough engineering work, and uses high-quality parts, and this car shows it. The transmission shifts very crisply, especially in Sport mode, and shows no sign of weakness, as far as I can tell. It is pre-wired for and has the remote head unit for a Valentine one. It has satellite radio (though I have never used that feature - I like the sounds of the engine better, or a CD in the Premium Sound system). It has HID headlamps and LED taillights. It has an alarm, although I pulled th fuse on it because it squawked every time you locked/unlocked the doors, and that annoyed me. I'm not a fan of alarms.
I am only selling this because I am purchasing a V-10 M5. Hate to see it go, but I just can't justify or store so many cars (even though I have tried...).

BMW may keep next 1 Series out of the US

Tue, 07 May 2013

As BMW prepares to introduce the all-new 2 Series coupe and convertible, the 1 Series name definitely won't be going away. We know new sedan and hatchback models are in the works; including the GT shown above. According to Car and Driver, though, the future of the 1 Series nameplate in the US could be dependent on rival premium small cars like the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and Audi A3.
In an interview with C/D, BMW's North American head of product planning and strategy, Paul Ferraiolo, said that pricing might be the biggest deterrent to offering the third-gen 1 Series in the US. As he points out, BMW currently prices the 1 not too far from the 3 Series, but Mercedes-Benz and Audi will have their new small cars priced well below the $30,000 mark. BMW's Mini brand will also factor into the consideration since the 1 GT will share its underpinnings with the next-gen Cooper lineup.

BMW i1 EV rumored, based on electric Mini

Tue, Apr 10 2018

With just two BMW i cars currently available — and aging Â— we've been hankering to know what new EVs are coming down the pipeline for the Bavarian automaker. We've had news of the iNext and i4, caught wind of an iX3, and as BMW is in the early stages of a large electrification push, there has been a multitude of "i"-prefaced trademarks registered. The next we can expect, if the rumors from Spanish outlet Motor.es are to be believed, will be a diminutive i1 EV, based on the same platform as an upcoming electric Mini Cooper. As such, it would share the electric Mini's front-drive/front-motor configuration Â— previewed on the Mini Electric Concept, shown above, that debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year. It stands to reason that the i1 would be smaller than the high-roofed i3, possibly borrowing the five-door hatchback format from the 1 Series sold in Europe (which would be a long-awaited dream come true if it made its way to the United States). The electric car would be about a foot shorter than the 1 series, though, according to the report, at about 158 inches long. It would be built on an electric version of BMW modular UKL platform. Keep in mind, the BMW i1 is just a rumor at this point, with Motor.es keeping its sources unnamed. If true, though, it could replace the i3 in BMW's lineup five years from now, in 2023.

2014 BMW X5 recalled over faulty child-safety locks

Tue, 27 May 2014

BMW is set to recall some 6,400 of its new-for-2014 X5 SUVs built between December 12, 2013 and March 10, 2014 due to concerns that the child safety locks, if set, might deactivate without warning. The problem affects only those vehicles with the automatic soft-closing option.
According to the bulletin issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the lock mechanism on the rear doors "may not have been manufactured to correct tolerances," meaning the safety locks could disengage with a simple pull of the door handle. Basically, with a pair of tugs, the rear doors could be opened from the inside, regardless of child safety locks.
BMW is in the process of notifying owners of affected vehicles. Any necessary repairs will be conducted free of charge. Take a look below for the official press release from NHTSA.
