Overall the car is in remarkable condition for the year, the 2003 model year is the best E39 touring you can get. Fully loaded except Navigation. Clean carfax, 2 owners. WOW this champion turns heads everywhere and is so fast and so smooth and handles so good it will truly amaze you. Don't be fooled by the station wagon body, this is a luxury sports car. Far advanced safety and comfort features for it's time. BMW's finest. This wagon cost over $60,000 new. Very few left in this condition so don't hesitate - you won't find another one. Clean title in hand for easy transfer.

A note about the pixels on the dash - it is not difficult nor expensive to repair. BMW acknowledged the problem and will help with the repair. You must call BMW North America and explain your issue, they will only help the registered owner, proof is required.  In most cases BMW supplies the parts and the customer pays about $90 labor. It did not concern me in the least so I did not bother to get it fixed. Every BMW I have ever owned had the same issue.

I have described this car to the best of my ability. This vehicle has just passed NY State inspection and has been completely checked over by an independent mechanic. This car needed nothing. All vehicles over 100k miles and over 10 years old are sold As-Is. Sales tax may be collected depending on your location in accordance with NY state law. Absolutely no additional dealer fees will be added. Warranties are available from 3rd parties, I do not sell them, most of the time they are a rip-off. If you are a NY resident I can take your car in trade at fair KBB value and transfer your plate on the spot. The name of my dealership is "Alfred Auto Center" I encourage you to check out our reputation on Repairpal, we strive to take care of all of our customers long after the sale. 

Thank You for looking at my car!
 Let's keep it simple and easy - 1. You win the bid, 2. Submit a $500 non-refundable deposit via Paypal immediately, 3. I will contact you and then you will mail me a bank check  via certified mail with a tracking #,  4. Once the check clears you come and get the car, title, and keys or arrange for transport.
NOTE: actual mileage will be slightly higher than shown as I drive this car regularly.

Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study

Wed, Jul 22 2015

The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car. Check out the official release on the 2015 APEAL Study, available below, from JD Power. 2015 U.S. APEAL Study Results The latest safety-related technologies are among the drivers of customer satisfaction with new vehicles, according to the J.D.

Is BMW the only real competition to Tesla Motors?

Sat, Mar 1 2014

Tesla Motors chief Elon Musk probably isn't losing a ton of sleep over the new plug-in efforts by the makers of the "Ultimate Driving Machine," but maybe he should. That's what the Motley Fool is saying, presenting the case that the California company's real competition will come from BMW. What about the plug-in efforts of General Motors or Ford? Musk can hit the snooze, Motley Fool says. Unlike automakers that are "jamming battery packs into the existing vehicle design," BMW has built its i3 battery-electric and i8 plug-in hybrid supercar from the ground up. Like Tesla, BMW puts its battery packs into the floor of its vehicles. Most importantly, the i3 - and especially the i8 - are real performers. While the i8 is about 40-percent more expensive than the Tesla, it matches the Model S's 0-60 mile per hour acceleration times and handily beats its top speed figures. Tesla sold about 6,900 vehicles during the last three months of 2013 and BMW had more than 10,000 i3 orders on the books by late November and the first year's allotment of i8s is already sold out. The German automaker has what the Fool calls an "outside chance" of selling more plug-in vehicles than Tesla by next year, but Tesla is gearing up its gigafactory to get ready to sell a half-million EVs in 2020, so the race is most certainly on. You can read more over on the Fool.

So, how do you actually pronounce that automaker's name?

Thu, Jan 21 2016

You probably have that friend who always says Porsche wrong, or maybe it's someone who keeps reminding you it's actually two syllables. Whichever side of the pronunciation debate you fall on, you'll find someone to root for in the video above. And before you ask, this was all the video team's idea. So don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason. BMW Chevrolet Hyundai Nissan Rolls-Royce Videos Original Video nissan qashqai
