filled sofa

• and soooo much more


The all important M Sport Package:

• Steptronic Transmission - Full auto mode, sport mode and also full manual mode where you

can shift through all 5 gears as you wish

• High-Stall Torque Converter - This means the engine can spin faster, use more gas and thus

make more power when starting off. I learned this the hard way. My garage door shows it!

• 3.15 : 1 performance rear axle ratio. This means the car is always in a lower gear than the

standard 2.82 : 1 ratio on standard 540i models. This way you always get more torque at

the rear wheels which means more thrust which means more acceleration

• M-Sport Aero Kit - Same body kit as on the M5, including front and rear bumpers and side

skirts

• M Suspension II - Unique for 2003. This is stiffer springs, shocks and anti-sway bars. It also

lowers the entire car by 0.8 inches. It still rides nice and comfy, and makes it stiff and

nimble enough for a lot of fun anywhere you drive.

• Black Roofliner - Unique for 2003. Instead of gray, the whole roofliner is black. Kind of a

Darth Vader look. Very cool. No, very, very cool!

• M Footrest - Unique for 2003. This is a place to rest your left foot while you drive.

• M Sport Steering Wheel - This is the excellent thick leather steering wheel with perfectly

positioned finger controls for the radio, CD player and cruise control. It's a masterpiece of

ergonomics.

• M Sport Door Sills

• High Gloss Shadowline Trim - This is black chrome around the windows instead of the usual

silver. Beautiful touch.

•  5 BBS RC’s, 17’s, lovely

• 12-Way Power Memory Sports Seats, all functional. These are, hands down, the best seats

I’ve ever sat in on a factory car. You do not move through a corner, and you’ll take the

corners!!

• Heated Seats and headlight washers, yes, it has the cold weather package, but not a heated steering wheel.  The sport package changes the wheel to a smaller, leather wrapped version.  Perfect, really.



Custom options added:

TEC console cup holder

Black front kidney grills. I still have the originals.

Black rubber BMW mats, plus the original carpets.

Weather Tech mat for the trunk

Custom tint

New rear Eagle GT’s

New rear wiper assembly

BMW i5 could get Toyota-sourced hydrogen power

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

It's starting to feel like the automotive landscape is right on the cusp of a boom in hydrogen-fueled vehicles. After all, the Toyota FCV is nearly ready, Volkswagen is readying a fuel cell concept for this week's Los Angeles Auto Show and Hyundai already sells its Tucson Fuel Cell. The next big name to add to that list might be BMW, as the company's co-development deal with Toyota starts to bear fruit.
According to Autocar, BMW may use a version of the fuel cell system from the Toyota FCV in the future i5. As part of its eco-oriented i sub-brand, the i5 is expected to be a stretched version of the i3 (pictured above) with extra rear legroom and cargo space. It's unclear at the moment whether a battery-powered pure electric powertrain will also be available. If accurate, then the rumor could give the Bavarian brand a counterattack against Mercedes-Benz' planned fuel cell vehicle in 2017.
BMW and Toyota first signed the memorandum of understanding to co-develop fuel cells, lightweight technology and a sports car back in 2012, and they made the arrangement official in late 2013. So far, few details on the progress of the work have been disclosed, but the performance model has been rumored to use a front-engine, all-wheel drive layout with supercapacitors.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing

Mon, Dec 29 2014

The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.
