It has always been garaged and the paint shows zero signs of oxidation. I have detailed pictures available of the entire car available upon request. The car presents itself as a truly exceptionally maintained automobile that screams pride of ownership! A little history on the car as it does have a Colorado Rebuilt Title. I purchased this vehicle for my mother from a dealer who specialized in luxury and exotic vehicle exports. He showed me pictures of the car which I still have as it came from the auction. It had absolutely no damage as a matter a fact, it still was a CPO (certified pre-owned BMW) meaning it was still under full manufactures warranty bumper to bumper. Additionally, it had the service plan from BMW meaning that everything from windshield wipers to brakes were replaced free of charge and as often as needed. This was too good of a car to pass up and it had all the warranties of a new vehicle. When the BMW CPO warranty ran out in 03/22/2011 the car had 93k on it and I was ready to sell it. However, my mother would not let me she loved the car....I did some research and purchased an AUL 3 year 36k Estate service contract with enhanced electrical option. This protection plan was the closest thing to the BMW warranty and cost $3000.00. Now that the AUL contract ran out, I need to sell the vehicle as I don't feel comfortable with my mother driving a car without warranty. I don't have time to shop around different shops and I don't want her to deal with any problems that come along with an older vehicle. Something I noticed on a cold start when I needed to move the car in and out of the garage, it has a loud noise I have not addressed it as the car is for sale and it goes away after a few minutes. I did some research and it looks like it will need the secondary air pump fixed or replaced. I called the dealer and it is a $530 repair and common issue. No other problems. The car does have scratches and scrapes on the front bumper from pulling into the garage, however it is overall in good condition for a 10 year old 121k car. It was driven by a female and taken into the dealer for even the smallest things. This car has always been served my mom for the past 60k. The only changes that have been made to it are the addition of a K&N reusable air filter and the wheels have been changed to non staggered 18" to allow for easy rotation. It also has LIFETIME ALIGNMENT from Firestone. This car comes with a Colorado rebuilt from Salvage title. This title was issued to the car after it was stolen in California prior to our purchase. If the car gets stolen then Insurance has thirty days to recover the vehicle, if the car is not recovered in thirty days, Insurance pays off the owner and once the car is recovered, it is brought to the auction with Salvage title. In brief Salvage does not always mean that the car was wrecked. Again, this car has NEVER been in a car accident or had any body work! I do not have time for tire kickers or people interested in wasting my time and haggling. You are buying a 10 year old used car and should expect it not to be perfect! However, unlike most used cars, this one has every service record from the day it was put on the road...including the window sticker. |

Husqvarna sold to KTM CEO Stefan Pierer
Fri, 01 Feb 2013A couple of days ago the UK's Motorcycle News reported that BMW was in the final stages of selling Husqvarna to KTM, with a deal potentially confirmed as soon as this week. Following that came reports that Husqvarna Motorcycles wasn't sold to KTM but to a Pierer Industries, the company owned by KTM CEO Stefan Pierer. Turns out the advance report was true, as was the follow-up: BMW has just announced a "strategic realignment" of its Motorrad division, explaining that it sold Husqvarna to Pierer Industries in order to focus on the urban and e-mobility segments. Husqvarna's off-road machines, obviously, don't fit into those categories.
BMW bought the Italian-based bike maker with centuries-old Swedish roots in 2007 - the rest of the Husqvarna company remains based in Sweden - and has invested huge sums to integrate the smaller company into the larger parent. Six years later, just when dividends should begin to truly pay off, the brand is sold.
Before BMW made its announcement, one of the theories that forum members put forward for Pierer's interest in purchasing Husqvarna was that he wants his own business to run his own way. The parent company of KTM, Cross Industries, is 47.27-percent owned by India's Bajaj Automotive, with Pierer the majority shareholder, and is on a quest for global growth, taking the fight to BMW in Europe and launching new bikes and technology into the Indian market. Compared to BMW's and KTM's 2012 sales of around 100,000 bikes each in 2012, Husqvarna sold 10,751 bikes, which was a 15.7-percent increase over the previous year. Pierer would have a lot more freedom in the running of a company of that size.
Jaguar Land Rover to drop supercharged V8 for turbocharged BMW power
Wed, Jul 27 2016There are few things that sound as good as Jaguar's 5.0 liter supercharged V8. As great as it is when the supercharger whines or the exhaust cracks and pops on throttle lift-off as the air pressure equalizes, the basic design dates back to the '90s. Plainly, the engine isn't as efficient as it needs to be, but designing a new V8 from the ground up is an expensive proposition. Instead, Automobile reports that Jaguar Land Rover is set to use a twin-turbocharged V8s supplied by BMW. Scalable architecture is all the rage as automakers streamline designs in order to save costs. For example, Jaguar's current supercharged V6 is quite literally a V8 with two holes missing. They didn't even change the length of the block. It seems both of those designs are on their way out, with the V6 being replaced by a inline-six closely related to the company's inline four. It seems that rather than designing an new and expensive V8 for their top of the line models JLR, is sourcing from BMW. From 1994 to 2000, BMW owned Land Rover. A few models, including the Land Rover Range Rover, used BMW engines then and in the initial years of Ford's JLR stewardship. It seems things have now come full circle. BMW currently makes a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 that produces anywhere from 440 to 600 horsepower, depending on the application. Automobile says that a new 4.0 liter V8 is in the works and that it will most likely be the engine that JLR uses. Expect it to be more powerful, more fuel efficient, and lighter than what both BMW and JLR currently offer. This seems like a win for both companies. BMW gets to offset the cost of a new motor while JLR, a smaller company, doesn't have to invest in a whole new architecture. As automakers search for ways to cut costs, expect collaborations like this to continue. Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz both share a four-cylinder engine. Ford and GM have worked together to design a shared 10-speed automatic. While we may lament the loss of that wonderful Jaguar Land Rover engine, we can still be happy that they haven't abandoned the V8.

Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis
Thu, Nov 20 2014Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall
