This is a 2000 BMW 540i. It has an automatic transmission and a 4.4 liter V8 engine. It is in great shape, with a few small chips on the hood, which is standard for a car that has been driven this much. It has over 200,000 miles, right around 210,000. The exact mileage is unknown because the instrument cluster was recently replaced with one that had been refurbished because the pixels went bad. This is extremely common for these cars, and it had been taken off the list of common potential maintenance. Another common problem with these cars is the degradation of the timing chain guides. This has also been dealt with within the past 15,000 miles. The timing chain was replaced along with its guide rails, and the top end of the engine was rebuilt. This is a $5,000 job that will not need to be done for another 200,000 miles. Another recent fix was the ABS computer, around the same time as the engine repairs. As a result of this upkeep, the engine runs as strong as it ever did, idles smooth and low, and cranks out the horsepower. The only problem left is the transmission. The automatic transmission occasionally has problems deciding when to shift, and will rev higher than it should before changing gears. Despite this infrequent hiccup, it is still a reliable daily driver. It was daily driven by my father until a job shift required him to get a truck. After that, I have been daily driving it for the past 8 or 9 months while working on my own car. It never left either one of us stranded anywhere, and was a minor in convince at most. Besides this, very little TLC would bring this car back to like new condition. Interior is in great shape. The leather seats are heated and all their motors work beautifully. If the flimsy cup holders were replaced, no one would know this car was 13 years old!

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial
Wed, 28 May 2014How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.

Behind the scenes of BMW's 'Drift Mob,' Part 1
Sat, 28 Jun 2014Generally speaking, marketing and journalism don't mix, but every now and then, what goes into the marketing of a car - the 2015 BMW M235i, in this case - is worth documenting. In that spirit, we took BMW up on its offer to bring us behind the scenes of its upcoming "drift mob" video, starring five red M235i coupes frolicking around a traffic circle in a major world city (BMW has asked us to be coy about which one so as not to blow its cover before the shoot).
The five drivers can all be considered legends of modern-day drifting and stunt driving: Rhys Millen, Samuel Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford and Conrad Grunewald.
As the only US media outlet in attendance, Autoblog plans to follow up with a full story on the experience once BMW polishes and releases the video in a month or so. In the meantime, check out our photos of this epic practice session we captured on our first day hanging with the crew, and be sure to watch this space for more behind-the-scenes action.
