I'm the 2nd owner and have had this car for over 7 years. It has been completely babied, full synthetic oil, Shell V-Power gas and 100% garaged at home since day one and garaged at work for the last year. It has never been in an accident and has a clean title. Feel free to CARFAX it.
It's been solid since I've had it, no weird noise or rattling. The mileage is mostly highway as I've always had a long commute to work. I've spent a lot of money over the years to keep up with maintenance and upgrades, so it's very well kept, lots of compliments and "thumbs up" all the time! It handles beautifully, engine and transmission performs like new! As most of you may know, this is one of the finest sedans ever built! I'm just selling it along with another BMW of mine to get an M5. The list of things I've done are extensive but here are a few things that come to mind (upgrades & features): - Complete paint job in 2012 due to hail (hood was replaced), factory Alpine WHITE and Jet BLACK roof. It has 3 coats of Euro-clear clear coat with a minimal life expectancy of 10+ years. - M-Tech front and rear bumpers - Rear ///M style trunk lip spoiler - Imitation headlight nozzles =) - Matte black front hood kidney grills - New front windshield rubber weather strip/gasket - 18" STR (BBS LM Reps) gold mesh wheels, 18x9 rear and 18x8 front with matching front and rear pair of tires with 8/32nd tread life left ($1000) - 20mm front wheel spacers and 12mm rear spacers (perfect stance) - Full Bilstein shocks/struts on all corners ($900) - H&R sport springs with 1.8" drop all around ($250) - New tie rods, front upper control arms, bushings, rear control arms, sway bar links, strut mounts - New brake master cylinder ($420) - Under manifold heater core plastic pipes replaced within the last 2 years - Updated headlights, OEM with HID 10K bulbs (auto-leveling adjusters are new!!!) - Updated clear & red tail lights - Clear side markers on fenders - Yellow filmed fog lights - Professional 35% charcoal Tint with life-time warranty - 12" Kenwood Subwoofer in custom built trunk box specifically for e39 - 800 Watt amplifier with remote under-dash power/volume control - OEM ///M sport seats, sport steering wheel, step-tronic shifting - Keyless entry and OEM factory alarm system with proximity sensor - OEM shadowline window trimming and body moulding - Updated LED angel eye bulbs - Carbon fiber front splitters ($450!) - Updated OEM gloss interior trimming (I hated the ugly wood trimming) - Full 16" sized spare with Michelin tire in excellent condition - OEM factory trunk tools, jack and tire choke - Upgraded Duralast battery - Super cold AC and very hot heater - Dual zone and automatic temperature controls - De-badged OEM 528i emblem and replaced with "E39" black chrome trunk emblem - Real Carbon fiber ///M sport shift knob (needs to be tightened) - ///M sport tan floor mats - Replaced rear door panel vapor barriers (fixed the common e39 water leak problem) - LED error-free license plate lights - ALL dash pixels are working!!! I've never had to fix it - Custom mount bolted directly to the back of the rearview mirror for Valentine V1 radar - Excellent alignment (warranty might me transferrable) - Aluminum front brake ducts in lower grill (functional too - leads to brake discs!) - Cross drilled rotors on all 4 corners - EBC red front brake pads - New OEM oil pan gasket - New OEM oil filter housing gasket - New OEM fuel filter - I use Mobil-1 full synthetic oil, 5W30 and high Octane fuel on every refill (99% of the time it's from SHELL, V-Power) - No major leaks on the garage floor!!! - I still get about 22-24 MPG with this car - 2 OEM BMW keys with remote door, trunk and panic button (you can also use for automatic window & sunroof opening!!!) - Large stack of paperwork and records - CLEAN BLUE TITLE under my name and address ***I'm asking for $7800 cash - NO TRADES, NO PAYMENTS - I am not a dealer ***Call or Text me at 972-897-3094 for an appointment to view & test drive.

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

Jaguar Land Rover to drop supercharged V8 for turbocharged BMW power
Wed, Jul 27 2016There are few things that sound as good as Jaguar's 5.0 liter supercharged V8. As great as it is when the supercharger whines or the exhaust cracks and pops on throttle lift-off as the air pressure equalizes, the basic design dates back to the '90s. Plainly, the engine isn't as efficient as it needs to be, but designing a new V8 from the ground up is an expensive proposition. Instead, Automobile reports that Jaguar Land Rover is set to use a twin-turbocharged V8s supplied by BMW. Scalable architecture is all the rage as automakers streamline designs in order to save costs. For example, Jaguar's current supercharged V6 is quite literally a V8 with two holes missing. They didn't even change the length of the block. It seems both of those designs are on their way out, with the V6 being replaced by a inline-six closely related to the company's inline four. It seems that rather than designing an new and expensive V8 for their top of the line models JLR, is sourcing from BMW. From 1994 to 2000, BMW owned Land Rover. A few models, including the Land Rover Range Rover, used BMW engines then and in the initial years of Ford's JLR stewardship. It seems things have now come full circle. BMW currently makes a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 that produces anywhere from 440 to 600 horsepower, depending on the application. Automobile says that a new 4.0 liter V8 is in the works and that it will most likely be the engine that JLR uses. Expect it to be more powerful, more fuel efficient, and lighter than what both BMW and JLR currently offer. This seems like a win for both companies. BMW gets to offset the cost of a new motor while JLR, a smaller company, doesn't have to invest in a whole new architecture. As automakers search for ways to cut costs, expect collaborations like this to continue. Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz both share a four-cylinder engine. Ford and GM have worked together to design a shared 10-speed automatic. While we may lament the loss of that wonderful Jaguar Land Rover engine, we can still be happy that they haven't abandoned the V8.
