Hello! I am selling my 2004 BMW 530i / E60 Sedan! It has been a blast to own and has served me very well, and I can now say I've owned the "Ultimate Driving Machine." But it is time we part ways. Reason for selling is to finance travel, also as much as I love driving stick shift the constant use of my left leg for the clutch has been aggravating a pre-existing injury so I'm trying to get away from manuals altogether.

Before I get into details, let me just state the obvious. This car is really, really nice! It runs strong, it is clean, it's in great cosmetic condition and it impresses everyone who sees or rides in it. The original list price on this car was about $45,000.


As for the details:

- ~96,900 miles
- 3.0L I6, 225HP
- 6-speed Manual Transmission, RWD
- Rated 20/30 MPG, I get around 33 MPG on the highway when driving mindfully (awesome on gas for long distances), average around 25-27 MPG overall. Daily driving gets about 500 miles on the full 18.5 gallon tank, highway driving I've gotten almost 600 miles on a tank. 91+ octane premium gasoline is suggested by BMW.


Features: 
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Climate Zone Control
  • I-Drive with voice recognition control
  • Bluetooth for in-cabin phone calls
  • GPS Navigation (I have a burned GPS software disc but it is a bit scratched and doesn't work all the time, OEM replacements can be found online for about $30)
  • CD player, auxiliary 1/8" audio input, AM/FM radio
  • Automatic moon roof (full open or vent)
  • Power front seats with memory
  • Automatic power windows
  • Auto-dimming rear view mirror
  • Tilting side mirror for parking. 
  • Active Deterrent Alarm System (extremely loud)

Everything works except the GPS software as noted.


- Excellent running condition when checked by a BMW specialist in mid 2013. This car is quick for its size and weight and really moves on the highway with 6th gear.
- Recently serviced at Reeves BMW Tampa w/ oil change, fluids top-off and 28-point checkup (mostly clear, items needing attention detailed below)
- Clutch is smooth like butter. No grinding gears, automatic clutch makes for smooth, easy shifting all day. I've been very impressed by the manual transmission in this car, it is nothing like manual transmissions I have used in the past. Very much a luxury driving experience while still preserving the integrity of a manual transmission.

- Black leather interior with wood trim, all clean and in great condition. No rips, tears or holes in seats or panels. Floor mats all present, clean, no stains, holes, burns etc. Clean non-smoking vehicle. All cabin lights work, all windows open/close automatically with single press.
- Exterior in great condition, some small blemishes are visible when looking up close but nothing major. There is a rub along the bottom/underside of the passenger side lower panel, between the tires. Also a rub on the bottom of the corners of the front driver's side bumper, and front + back passenger's side bumper. They are along the bottom so they can't really be seen unless you are crouching down. See pictures. 
- All blinkers, parking lamps and exterior lights work except for the halos. 
- Paint and clear coat is good, car could use a real wax but there is no fading, dry spots or rust. Headlights look like the clear is coming off a little bit along the top, this is only visible up close in daylight. 

- K&N Performance Intake filter installed in November 2013
- Cabin microfilters both replaced in November 2013
- Premium Bosch windshield wipers installed September 2013
- Fresh oil change & fluids topped off at 96,800 miles at BMW dealership
- Full spare in place in the trunk, unused. Also first aid kit in the trunk.


Things to be aware of:

- Needs rear brake pads, brake fluid and possibly rotors
- Tires at about 30% tread, probably have a few months left in them. Currently Toyo Proxes, non run-flat.
- Trunk needs shock strut replaced, currently swings open (simple replacement)
- Oil dipstick seems to be stuck but I-Drive monitors oil levels like a hawk and alerts you as necessary so I've not needed it.
- Pneumatic arms for the hood don't hold up, can be replaced or you can just use a stick/pole.
- Xenon High- and low-beam headlights work but no halos
- Needs new GPS disc
- Only one key (original), battery is dead so remote doesn't work.
- Wiper fluid sprayers don't spray (pump runs, nothing comes out)
- Service engine light came on at 90k miles, asking for routine service check
- AC needs recharge but feels fine in moderate temperatures and at night, cools down more after the car runs for a few minutes. Heater works fine.


Clear title in hand, clean Carfax history. Well-maintained with routine maintenance and service performed as necessary, all previous owners have been mature adults. No accidents or body work. VIN: WBANA73594B048302 

Buyer is responsible for arranging shipping and all associated costs, I can help with making arrangements as necessary. I can also deliver the car, email me to discuss cost.

I think that covers just about everything.  If there are any specific details not found here or you'd like photos of specific areas I will be more than happy to provide them to you, just shoot me a message or give me a call at (813) 508-1991. My name is Gabe. Thanks for looking!

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

M-fographic breaks down the history of BMW performance machinery

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

Few characters carry the kind of clout among performance enthusiasts as the letter M. For 35 years now, that one letter has adorned over 300,000 BMWs, each tuned to deliver a higher degree of performance than the stock models on which they're based.
The M division has worked up nearly 100 different models over the past third of a century, which can leave even the most expert among Bimmer fanatics bewildered. Fortunately British auto loan service Carfinance247 has commissioned this handy infographic to make sense of it all, and you can check it out below to see what the letter M really stands for.

BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe gets Bang & Olufsen Individual edition [w/video]

Tue, 10 Jun 2014

Not content with a bit part on the options sheet, high-end sound gets a starring role on the BMW Individual 6 Series Gran Coupe Bang & Olufsen Edition. There's no technical difference between the 1,200-watt, 16-speaker High End Surround Sound System in this run of 6 Series Gran Coupes and the $3,700 system you can order as an option on the standard Gran Coupe, but the special edition gets brushed black aluminum finish speaker grilles, a first for the range.
The packages and colors are what set these apart, exteriors available in either Brilliant White Metallic or Dark Graphite II Metallic, interiors possible in either black or Opal White and black. You'll also get upgrades like the Cold Weather, M Sport Edition Packages on the non-M car, the Competition Package and Executive Package on the M, plus piano black wood trim, special floor mats and lots of B&O badging.
This isn't just a special edition, it's a limited edition, with BMW saying only 100 will be produced. Prices start at $116,240 for the 650i B&O Edition and top out at $152,423 for the M6 B&O Edition. There's a press release below with more details, and we've included a video on the stereo itself to help understand why it might deserve a car named after it.
