NO RESERVE!!!


2007 BMW 550i - 65,624 miles, automatic, great condition, well maintained. 4.8L V8 engine with 360 HP. Fun and fast car to drive. Metallic gray exterior, black leather interior.

OPTIONS:
- Sport Package
- Logic 7 Sound
- Front and Rear parking sensor monitors
- Sirius Satellite Radio
- Navigation System
- Cold Weather Package (heated front seats)
- Comfort Seats

CONDITION:
Interior is in excellent condition.  The leather barely shows any wear and everything functions properly.
Exterior - The car has no dings or dents and the paint is in excellent condition.  There are some typical rock chips on the front bumper and hood.  The rims are in great condition (see pictures).  There is some curb rash on the bottom of the front bumper (it has been touched up but I included a picture to try to give a sense of what it looks like), it is not very noticeable.
Overall, this car is in very good condition inside and out.  About 1.5 years ago the car was hit from behind at a very low rate of speed that left mark on the bumper (no dent) and I have pictures of the damage which was less than the size of my palm and am happy to email them (this is the accident that shows up in the vehicle auto check report).  The bumper was repainted, but given it was just a scratch it did not require replacement. Also, all 4 windows had a light professional window tint done on them, looks classy, and great.  Car was just professionally detailed inside and out and is ready to go.

MECHANICAL:
Car had new Michelin Pilots put on at 58,943 miles, all 4 tires, at a cost of $1,424. Tires have a 45,000 mile tread life, so tons of life left on them, so you should not have to buy tires for quite some time. New battery installed a few months ago as well.  I bought the car from a dealer as a lease return approximately 4 years ago and have had all the required / routine maintenance done.  The only things that I ever had to have fixed on the car was the active sway bar (sway bar was leaking oil and was repaired under warrant 2 years ago at the dealer) and the pump on the window washer fluid broke and was repaired.  Other than that I have had no issues with the car and am not aware of any mechanical problems.

OTHER:
This is a used car and is being sold AS-IS.  I encourage and welcome inspections if you are local and if you are not local I am happy to have the car inspected by a mechanic for you (at your cost).  Buyer is responsible for shipment and car must be shipped on or before February 28th 2013.  $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of auction ending and remaining balance must be paid via wire within 48 hours or two business days, whichever is first.  I am happy to answer any questions that I can and will do my best to respond quickly to you.  Finally, I have the car listed for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.

This has been a great and fun car for me and I have taken very good care of it and hope that it will be a great car for someone else.

Confident new Cadillac marketing boss ready to take on Tesla, BMW

Thu, Jun 26 2014

When there's a former BMW executive heading Cadillac's efforts to boost sales of its only plug-in, it's a pretty safe guess that the marketing emphasis won't be on environmental friendliness and tree-hugging tendencies. The General Motors luxury brand has appointed ex-Bimmer executive Uwe Ellinghaus to be its marketing chief late last year, and the German-born Ellinghaus is now saying that he's targeting potential customers of Tesla Motors, in addition to BMW, for potential growth in sales of the Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in. Appointed to Cadillac's head of marketing last November, Ellinghaus recently told Advertising Age that GM needs to highlight the Cadillac's looks and performance. He complimented Tesla for putting more emphasis on those attributes in the Model S than on its lack of emissions or lack of refueling costs (but Tesla hasn't shied away from highlighting the EV's savings). Ellinghaus says that trying to gear advertising "for people who are tree-huggers and green-wash an entire brand" won't be successful. You don't say. So far, the ELR hasn't made much of a dent in US car sales. Through May, Cadillac, which spent about $280 million on all of its US marketing last year, sold 293 units, whereas Tesla had been approaching the 11,000-unit figure for the Model S. With that in mind, Cadillac may be working on a sportier version of the ELR, as spy shots of a test vehicle from May revealed larger brakes and wheels. You can read our First Drive impressions of the ELR here.

Frankfurt Motor Show Notes: Why Jaguar decided to build an SUV

Wed, Sep 16 2015

It was inevitable. Jaguar had to make an SUV, and that notion became reality this week with the debut of the F-Pace, an all-wheel-drive five-seater that will launch in the United States next spring. Some purists may cringe. But in an era when Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and other traditional luxury brands are all building or (planning to build) SUVs, Jaguar had to evolve. While it seems like a leap for Jaguar to make an SUV, longtime design director Ian Callum said it's been in the works for years. "The first time I was asked the question was when I arrived 16 years ago," he said. So in 1999 (and probably well before that), Jaguar was already thinking SUV. What took so long? "It wasn't a priority," Callum said. Jaguar was concentrating on fixing its existing lineup, which was pockmarked with holes and poorly selling products, like the X-Type. Along the way, Jaguar and sister brand Land Rover were sold by Ford to Indian conglomerate Tata Motors. Flash forward several years, and Jaguar and Land Rover are both experiencing a resurgence in the United States and around the world. Jaguar's lineup is flush with the E-Type's modern successor, the F-Type, plus a new version of the XF. The XJ received a 2016 freshening, and the smaller XE sedan is on the way. Jaguar put its house in order as other factors conspired to make a crossover timely. Fuel prices stayed relatively low, and consumers in the US and China remained steadfast in their love for utility vehicles of all stripes. Making a Jaguar SUV became a priority. "The world was telling us in no uncertain terms this is what they wanted," Callum said. "Not to be in the sector would be a little naive for the sake of purity." Jaguar proved its intent two years ago when it revealed the C-X17 crossover concept at Frankfurt, and the final production model is close to the prototype's striking looks. "I thought we managed to maintain that spirit," Callum said. It's a true Jaguar, with cues from the F-Type, 1968 XJ, and other famous models. Who would have thought Jaguar would make an SUV? "I certainly didn't," Callum admitted. But the F-Pace is here. If Callum is okay with it, purists can be, too. Quick Hits Opel retrenches for 2016 and beyond Opel used the Frankfurt show to display its new generation of the Astra, a critical vehicle line for the German division of General Motors.

Five reasons to love, or hate, the culture of German cars

Thu, Mar 5 2015

A few months back, we took a 500-foot view of the culture of American cars, dissecting prides and prejudices on our way to the conclusion that automotive allegiances can be simultaneously embraced and derided. We had so much fun with the narrative that we decided to do it again, this time taking a look at Germany and its world-renowned lineup of automakers, including the likes of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen, among others. Join us below as we discuss the points and counterpoints that make or have made the German auto industry what it is today. And remember, Germany did pretty much invent the automobile, after all... The V12 Engine If America is known for the proliferation of the V8 engine, an argument could be made that Germany owns the V12. Yes, of course, other companies have created V12 engines – Ferrari, Jaguar and Lamborghini immediately come to mind – but the big 12-cylinder powerplants from BMW and Mercedes-Benz, in particular, have proven to be some of the most effortless, luxurious and downright over-built engines the world has ever seen. These days, having 12 cylinders is more a case of wretched excess than ever before, and yet, you can still stroll into your local BMW or Mercedes dealership and get a brand-new 760i, S600 or even an over-the-top G65 AMG, efficiency be damned. Best of all, since the majority of these German powerhouses depreciate as fast as an anchor sinks, nearly any auto enthusiast who dreams of a dozen cylinders can satisfy their carnal desires. Current Star: 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 View 28 Photos Diesel Engines Remember how we talked about those glorious V12 engines? Well, you can even get one from Audi that runs on diesel. If your compression-ignition fantasies err more on the side of fuel savings, that's no problem, either. Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen have got you covered, with engines starting as small as 800 cubic centimeters (Smart Fortwo). If you want something a little more practical, it's hard to argue with a VW Golf TDI, which will provide plenty of space for you and three of your best friends, plus a fair bit of luggage, all while returning 50-ish miles per gallon. For the purposes of this discussion, we'd rather focus on the asinine levels of torque provided by Germany's high-end diesel engines than the lower-end fuel sippers.
