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

New Fan clutch in June 2013
New vent valve seals in Dec 2012
New reservoir tank for radiator a few years ago.

This car has been extremely reliable, unlike a 99 540 wagon I used to own.

BMW i3 qualifies for both green and white HOV stickers in California

Thu, Jan 16 2014

BMW buyers tend to have enough cash on hand to be buffered from the concept of "sticker shock," but the term may take on a different meaning when it comes to the German automaker's i3 plug-in vehicle and its classification by California clean-air regulators. The first i3 EVs are set to be sold in May, and some are questioning if the new car will be eligible for the state's white stickers or green High-Occupancy Vehicle lane stickers, both of which allow for solo-occupancy in HOV lanes. California gives out white stickers to some types of battery-electric vehicles, compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, and there's currently no limit on the number that can be given out. The green stickers, which are applied to other battery electrics as well as some plug-in hybrids, are limited (there are currently about 15,000 left) and will likely run out within the next year or two. The i3's status is uncertain because of it has an optional gas-powered range-extender. Jacob Harb, head of electric vehicle operations and strategy for BMW, told AutoblogGreen that it's not all that complicated. The pure electric version of the i3 will get the white sticker, the REx version will get the green sticker. He also said that both will qualify for the $2,500 state incentive in California and the $7,500 federal tax credit available in all 50 states (For what it's worth, Green Car Reports says the REx version will only get $1,500 from California).

Project CARS vs reality at Laguna Seca shows amazing potential

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Project CARS is aiming to be the next great racing sim. Offering a mix of modern and classic cars on famous tracks, developer Slightly Mad Studios is trying to inject a fresh energy into the genre, and at the moment its game looks ready to take on Forza and Gran Turismo.
The game is still about six months from release, and the graphics already look practically photorealistic. The video below shows side-by-side laps of Laguna Seca in a BMW - real life on the left and the game on the right. It's absolutely astounding. Other than some changes to the sponsorship around the track, they are almost identical.
Of course anyone with quality seat time in a racing sim knows that graphics are just one factor. How the game feels is even more important, and without getting hands on, it's impossible to judge yet. However, consider our interest piqued. Project CARS is scheduled to launch in November on the Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft Xbox One, Nintendo WiiU, Windows PC and Steam OS. Scroll down to check out the video.

Next BMW X6 to be larger, more aggressive

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

If the current BMW X6, introduced in 2008, is looking a bit too bland for your tastes, have no fear as the next-generation model is reportedly going to be larger and more aggressive than its predecessor.
Autocar is reporting that an insider has revealed the all-new second-generation X6 will make its world debut at the 2014 Moscow Motor Show, going on sale just after summer. More aggressive styling will help BMW distinguish its sportier X6 from BMW's more practical models, such as the X3 and X5, said the source.
The next X6 will again share platforms with the X5, but it will be stretched slightly to provide second-row passengers with more legroom. Powerplants will also likely mirror those of its mainstream cousin, including a range of turbocharged six- and eight-cylinder engines and a range-topping M model (the 2013 BMW X6 M is show above).
