I am an all German car owner since 1996 and BMW owner since 2001. Everyone who ever bought a car from me was very fortunate, I do drive very gently and take good care of my cars. This is my 4th BMW and second E39. I own this one since 2005 and I bought it with 70K miles. You can ask any mechanic, this model was one of the best mechanical BMWs ever produced. It all goes downhill from there. I change my own oil and filters, the rest was all done by BMW specialist. All records are available. Car drives perfectly, nothing wrong. With stiff yet incredibly supple aluminum sport suspension, it is a pure pleasure to drive. I rented a lot of new cars during my business travels, nothing new can come even close to this one. The 1999 540i 6-Speed that I had before was a little better, yes, due to a limited slip differential, but not a whole lot.

Car never let me down once. I do have original 5-set of 17" BBS wheels that I install for the summer. Spare is brand new with original Continental Sport and alone is worth over $500. The additional wheel set you see is from a 2000 540i and I use it for the winter, it has all-season Continentals. $300 Cocomats, plus BMW rubber mats for the winter. No accidents whatsoever! As you know 2001 and up E39s have body color trim which looks lame. I did replace all of it with original black BMW trim from an older 2000 model and M5 on the doors. You will not see another 530i like that. If I didn't need the money I would never sell it. Driving in the suburbs (no highway) I get about 26 miles per gallon or about 440 miles per tank, try to get that from any other 3L engine. Engine is as smooth as silk, no wonder they say it is only breaking in by 200K miles.

Please ask any question you can think of.

2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible is easy, breezy, beautiful

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

BMW debuted its 2014 4 Series Convertible today at the LA Auto Show, and the sporting two-door will feature a folding hardtop - like the convertible 3 Series before it - and be offered in 428i and 435i guises.
The 428i Convertible is equipped with BMW's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, which pumps out 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque - good for sprinting from 0-60 miles per hour in 6.2 seconds. The 435i Convertible gets the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, which steps up output to 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. The topless 435i drops the 0-60-mph time to 5.5 seconds. Both cars come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that a manual transmission will not be offered on 4 Series Convertibles in the US market.
The 4 Series Convertible will be offered in Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport trims. Pricing starts at $48,750 for the 428i Convertible and $54,900 for the 435i. Head on below to peruse the (long) press release for details.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
