Thanks for taking the time to check out my Ad. Selling this car is by far the hardest decision I've ever had to make but I need to make space and rather see the car in good hands than undriven and stored for a long period of time. What you're looking at is a car that has been meticulously maintained not only mechanically but exterior wise and in all other aspects. As with a 14 year old car there will be some imperfections but most are minor and do not affect the car's ability to perform. Unlike most BMW e39's for sale, this car has had extensive maintenance performed during the 10+ years of ownership, using nothing but the best parts (OEM Genuine BMW) and the most competent BMW techs. A list of the cost of parts excluding labor costs will be provided upon request. It is very important to know that an older BMW will cost a lot of money if not meticulously maintained in a timely and efficient manner. As with many e39s that are for sale on craigslist this is the case and it reflects on the price and condition of the cars. The price of this car accurately reflects a variety of factors including the KBB + a small percentage of the value of the amount of modifications and maintenance that have been completed thus far. 2 Owner car
Overview:
This car has a 2.8 Liter I6 motor with double vanos technology. The torque is readily available thanks to a new vanos unit with upgraded rubber seals and basic maintenance items. The transmission had been replaced 3 years ago due to a faulty component (BMW had known transmission issues for the 4 speed GM and 5 speed ZF). All OEM parts and fluids have been replaced as well as a new transmission unit. The car has about 102,000 miles on the clock and will not increase as it is not being driven. Oil changes occur every 5000 miles or 6 months using nothing but Lubro Moly 5w-30 synthetic BMW oil. This car burns no oil whatsoever so topping off is totally unnecessary. When driven, nothing but 93 grade gas from satisfactory gas stations is used. Of the few selected are Mobil's 93 octane, Sunoco's 93 octane, Shell's V-power 93 octane and in rare occasions, BP's Ultimate 93 octane. Factory equipped is the sport package which comes with the M steering wheel, sport seats, sports suspension and a thicker front sway bar. I have replaced the sport suspension with racing coilovers and added high grade aluminum spacers giving the car a more aggressive stance and stiffer, sportier ride. In addition the sway bar bushings have been replaced with polyurethane to resist deformation and give stiffer handling. Above all, the entire suspension has been replaced with genuine BMW parts (except for the coilovers). These include the thrust arms, lower control arms, front sway bar links, front sway bar bushings, tie rods, rear upper control arms, rear lower control arms, rear ball joints and bushings, rear sway bar bushings , rear sway bar links and coilovers (as mentioned earlier). This car has upgraded HID fog lights with slim ballasts outputting 35Ws with a 6000K color and factory equipped xenon headlights with an upgraded housing and 6000K D2S bulbs.
Basic Info:
This car has been pampered all of its life, never being involved in accidents, theft and recovery or any other undesirable situation. It has been used as a weekend car for most of its life and recently driven daily short trips about 4 miles total for a day. When parked it is by it-self in private and secure facility patrolled by security guards. If the weather is undesirable in any way (including but not limited to rain of any sort, snow of any kind, windiness, pollen or any weather form which may has the ability to cause danger) the car is stored away either in a garage or under four layers of protective fabric. Since this is not my only vehicle I can afford to leave this car undriven during bad weather for unspecified amounts of time. During the winter the plates are returned, the car stored away and covered tightly and the battery kept on a trickle charge until the spring time after the majority of the rain has passed. This process begins in late October to late April. In addition, the car is started at least once a week during the cold months to prevent leaking gaskets and frozen parts. During any storm or dangerous condition, the car is removed from the garage a week before and stored in an above ground, enclosed and secured parking garage until a week after, and removed only on a day when it is sunny or slightly overcast.
Exterior:
The exterior of the car is in amazing shape having only a few scratches on the front and rear bumpers, three small dents on the hood and a scrape on the passenger rear quarter panel from an unknown driver. This car is personally hand washed at least four times a week during summer and twice during fall, with a sealant applied directly after the wash and a wax applied after the sealant cured (in 8 hours). This car has a deep, rich gloss that makes the paint appear as if it were wet thanks in part to my washing and waxing procedures and the way it is stored. Before and after each drive, every single day, the car is wiped down with a spray detailer and microfiber cloth to remove any dust, pollen (when applicable), road grime and dirt, ect. The wheels and tires are cleaned in the same fashion. According to my personal journal, the car has been washed and waxed approximately 224 times since Jan of 2010. The wheels are painted white and can be powder coated white if the buyer wishes or refinished to a high-gloss polished lip and OEM silver center ( if full asking price is met). The rear tires are showing signs of wear but can last another year or so. I will replace with new if I get my full asking price. There is 35% tint of all 5 windows that compliments the car perfectly, that is, light enough for cops to ignore and dark enough to retain occupancy privacy.
Interior:
The inside of the car is in very good condition, showing wear in only a few small places. The steering wheel and driver's seat show wear as which could be expected in a car of this age, but will be repaired contingent on the deal made between myself and the buyer. The radio has been upgraded to an OEM BMW business radio and has a slight dark spot on the screen to the far right. Other than that there are no missing pixels of any sort anywhere else on the car. There are a few buttons missing from the center console which will be replaced upon an agreement between the buyer and myself.
Engine:
Mechanically the car outshines any other of its age. Over $7,000 has been invested in meaningful maintenance, to keep the buyer at ease. A list of the replaced parts will provided at the very bottom of this Ad. The motor is original and has not been replaced.
Summary:
All in all, there is MUCH more to this car than can be written here. For a more comprehensive explanation please contact me at 917 698 7779 or email me using the email provided with this Ad. Please put "Inquiry: 1999 BMW E39 528i" as your subject to the message or it will be blocked and marked as spam. I have many pictures to show and if serious I can arrange a personal viewing of the car. I am firm on my price and slightly negotiable having great knowledge of my car, the BMW e39 chassis and its place in the market. I am well vested in the NY BMW community and am known for my thoroughness. You will find a cheaper e39 but the cost will quickly add up when all the parts have to be replaced due to negligent owners. I am in absolutely no rush to sell and will not entertain insulting offers.I will however listen to offers that are equitable. Furthermore I reserve the right to terminate this Ad if I find a buyer or so please to do so.

World Car of the Year finalists announced
Fri, 07 Mar 2014To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible [w/video]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Here it is, the fifth generation of BMW's 3 Series Convertible - only this one begins with a "4," having been rechristened as a droptop version of the new 4 Series Coupe. With thirty years of work on this same recipe and having gotten it so right for much of that time, the Munich compact premium convertible has been a WYSIWYG affair for decades: once you saw its sedan paradigm, you knew what it was going to look like in roofless two-door form, and what you saw is exactly what you got.
It is ridiculous to think that BMW would choose this new model and its new nomenclature to muck things up. The new car has, though, gotten larger and roomier, and even though it's now part of the racier coupe division within the company's compact line, it has gotten more, shall we say, mature. Driving even further away from the days when handsomely tipped bartenders could work their way into one, The Ultimate Tanning Machine had shed even more elan, going instead for elegance and an attitude befitting its $49,675 starting price (including $925 for destination).
It strikes a few odd notes, but what it does best, it still does better than anything else out there in its price range.
Jay Leno puts focus on some retro-inspired BMW bikes
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Jay Leno puts eight wheels on display this week for Jay Leno's Garage from a quartet of retro-inspired BMW motorcycles. They are the creations of husband and wife team Larry and Carol Romestant, who build each one in their home garage.
Larry is a former aerospace engineer who loves BMW bikes, especially the K models. Now, he's combining his passion with a real talent for fabrication to build his own cycles with his wife. With Larry and Carol the only ones working on these projects, it takes them six to nine months to build each one. In addition to the old-school looks, the motorcycles are supposed to be a bit more user friendly than stock. For example, one of them ditches the standard five-speed gearbox in favor of a six-speed unit to be a little more comfy when cruising at high speeds.
Since there isn't enough time to take all four of them for a ride, Jay picks his favorite to test out on the open road. Scroll down to see which one he chooses.
