Very clean BMW 2006 530i. This is a very attractive black on tan leather interior color combo, that is very popular.
This was a BMW CPO car (we are are the second owners) that included maintenance and repairs to 100k miles. It has been very well maintained. The positives:
- Four brand new tires (<1k miles on them), tread on all 4 is similar to what is shown (as in, brand new).
- New front brakes (<2k miles on them) with about 30-40k miles left on them. Rear brakes were replaced about 10k miles ago, and still have 20-30k miles on them.
- Slightly tinted windows, as seen in the pictures.
- If you don't know these cars, DO NOT buy one approaching or over 100,000k miles that has NOT had the cooling system completely replaced. This is a common failure that can strand you. At about 90k miles, the electronic water pump was replaced under CPO warranty on this car. At about 105k miles, I learned of this as a common issue (because my X5, with the same engine, had an issue), so I replaced everything else - all belts, hoses, electric cooling fan, and the coolant reservoir tank (which can leak and cause problems). None of these items had failed, but I know this as a common issue, so I proactively replaced it all.
- It is in great shape under the hood. With free maintenance to 100k, all services, maintenance, and everything else was done. For the last 18k miles, I have done it all myself, including the above items and oil changes.
- The car has a Sirius XM unit installed in the trunk, but I never activated it through the Host bus system (requires a dealer or indy repair shop programming). My wife was never interested in it, so I never activated it. I bought the unit, installed it, and then never did anything with it. It's there, if you are interested in activating it, but it has not been programmed.
- All functions work properly. This car drives smoothly, shifts well, and looks great. The Steptronic transmission is a lot of fun to drive in manual mode, and works flawlessly. It's great for a little extra power to pass or on hills.
- The handsfree Bluetooth calling feature is great - I use that frequently.
- Leather seating is in very good shape - no worn spots or tears. Weird greenish color in the front seat picture was the way the sun was coming through the windshield.
- Gas mileage on this car is really good - mid-20's in the City, and 30+ on the highway.
- I am into pro-active maintenance, and do most work myself on my 3 BMW's, and the 3 I've had before the current ones. I am usually a step ahead, and this car is no exception.
I didn't put much effort into cleaning it for the photos - it is just clean and well maintained. It is a terrific daily driver. The way you see it in the pictures is the way it always looks - I didn't even wash it prior to taking the pictures.
I have bought and sold cars before on eBay, so bid with confidence. Please check our feedback.
Pre-sale inspections can be arranged if you're local. Reserve price is reasonable, and is set below Kelly Blue Book value.
The negatives:
- there is a small door ding in the driver's side rear door, as pictured. Very hard to see in the picture, I know, but it's not too noticeable in real life either.
- there is a small rock chip from freeway driving on the windshield, as shown. I can have the windshield repaired or replaced by my insurance company prior to you picking up the car. Some folks are freaky after windshield replacements (though this is small, and may only be a quick repair), so I thought I would disclose it, and give you the option. We will decide how you want that handled after auction end.
Any questions at all, please ask.
As you can see from my history and feedback, I've been on eBay a long time, with an established track record. I have also bought and sold cars here before (2 Jaguars), so please feel confident. If you have any questions, please ask, and I'll get right back to you.
I strive for 5-star service. You won't be disappointed with this car. Thanks for looking!
Final note: actual miles may vary, as I may drive this car on occasion for local errands prior to auction end.

Recharge Wrap-up: Hyundai and Kia rethinking diesel for US, BMW i partners with Soho House
Wed, Oct 15 2014Hyundai and Kia are once again considering bringing diesel vehicles to the US. "It's something that's a strong consideration for us at this point," says John Juriga of Hyundai/Kia America. Diesel would help the group meet future fuel economy standards. While the obstacles that previously kept the brands from bringing diesel to the US in the past still exist, Juriga says they see a "more direct path" to making diesel work for them. Hyundai and Kia are also considering introducing cylinder deactivation, plug-in hybrids and 9- and 10-speed transmissions to reach fuel economy targets. Read more at Wards Auto. BMW's i division is teaming up with Soho House as its official automotive partner. BMW will provide i3 EVs for the private club's members and guests to use. The two groups will also host events together focused on art, design and innovation, beginning with an art talk called, "The Naked Truth? Nudity, fashion, and the photographic image today." According to BMW's Steven Althaus, the two brands are a great match. "BMW i and Soho House share a common mindset: both brands strive for innovation, creativity as well as a special sense for aesthetic setting new design standards," Althaus says, "What I look forward to most about our partnership is our determination to create memorable and sophisticated experiences together."

The trikes deliver food to local businesses and restaurants, a job usually done by air-polluting diesel trucks. The electric trikes feature cargo boxes that can hold 47 cubic feet or about 660 pounds of food. The trikes are stored in a shipping container fitted with solar panels, which charges them when they're not in use. By delivering food using solar and human power, Foodlogica is helping taking pollution and traffic congestion out of the "last mile" of food transport in Amsterdam.

BMW M2, we're happy to see you
Wed, 03 Sep 2014I recently spent some time behind the wheel of the BMW M235i and, well, I didn't love it. Sure, it's a great car, but I just didn't truly bond with it the way I have with previous M cars. What I had hoped for was a proper successor to the 1 Series M Coupe I fell in love with in 2011, but what I got instead was just a sporty 2 Series that didn't exactly stir my emotions in the same way.
But now there's this: the honest-to-goodness BMW M2. Previously, spy photographers captured a development-mule M2, but this is the real thing, in its full prototype body. Notice the aggressive front fascia that mimics the M3/M4, the more more robust wheel/tire package, and the M-standard quad exhaust outlets around back. This thing sure does look the business.
Details are slim as of this writing, but rumors suggest power will come from BMW's now-ubiquitous N55 turbocharged 3.0-liter six, with output somewhere in the 360- to 380-horspower range. The seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission seems like a good fit here, too. As does a six-speed manual transmission (here's hoping).
BMW makes the M4 extra special with a huge wing
Thu, Aug 25 2016BMW has all of the bases covered in its lineup, especially when it comes to its 4 Series models. Don't like going to the track? There's the BMW 430i and 440i, which are available as a coupe and gran coupe. Drivers looking for a track-friendly car that can also be used on the road will be steered toward the M4. BMW even built the hardcore M4 GTS for drivers that spend all of their time on a track. Now, it looks like BMW is trying to bridge the gap between the M4 and the M4 GTS with a special-edition model. Our photographers caught BMW testing an M4 with some extreme aerodynamic components around the Nurburgring. With its aggressive front end, massive wing, and sporty rear diffuser, the prototype M4 appears to be similar to the special-edition M4 Competition Sport that BMW released in Spain. The Spain-only special edition was marketed as a softer version of the M4 GTS with less power and usable rear seats. With a similar look and visible rear seats, this prototype indicates a similar track-focused special edition model. Since the M4 is only a few years old, it's unlikely that BMW is testing a new model, but the automaker could be testing aerodynamic components for a refreshed model down the road. A cheaper, more usable M4 GTS, though, would be the perfect car to round out BMW's current lineup. Related Video:
