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.

Will global automakers drop local JV partners if China's government says they can?

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Chinese economic policies could be in for a big change, as President Xi Jinping pushes the communist country to open its domestic markets even further. That could mean big things for the auto industry, especially when it comes to the country's far-reaching joint-venture system.
According to Chinese law, foreign automakers may only maintain a fifty-fifty partnership with their domestic counterparts. But with Jinping's push for openness leading to potential free-trade deals, that policy could be relaxed (or eradicated all together) in short order. What's an automaker to do?
Well, in BMW's case, stay the course. Automotive News Europe reports that, despite the grumblings about the JV policy changes, the German manufacturer has resigned its agreement with Brilliance through 2028. This is made doubly remarkable by the fact that BMW signed the extension over three years before it was set to expire.

BMW revises X1 to tide it over until replacement

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

It's been over five years since BMW first introduced the X1 at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, and a bit over a year since it brought the compact crossover to these shores. Soon the Bavarian automaker will replace the X1 with a new model based on the company's new front-drive architecture, but not before it gives it a few updates to keep it fresh.
Set to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show next month alongside the Z4 Pure Fusion Design and the new M3 sedan and M4 coupe, the enhanced X1 benefits from some new exterior accents, a spruced-up interior and new technology packed inside.
New air intakes in the bumper and integrated daytime driving lights distinguish the front end, with new wheel and color options available. Inside, certain versions get a new dashboard treatment, among other minor trim updates, and BMW has installed its latest ConnectedDrive suite to keep it up with the times. Scroll down for the full details.

2015 BMW X3 arrives with tweaked styling, diesel option

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

The luxury crossover market has been a huge success for BMW, having sold over a million X3 models worldwide since the CUV first went on sale in 2003, not to mention all of the momentum its had with the larger X5. At the Chicago Auto Show, BMW is unveiling the refreshed 2015 X3, featuring an improved design, a new diesel engine option, and a rear-wheel drive variant.
The X3 is getting some handsome upgrades to the exterior. The twin, circular headlights now extend to touch the slightly widened, chrome kidney grille, to bring the styling in line with the 3 Series and 4 Series. (LED headlights are now optional, as well.) The front bumper gets reshaped brake cooling ducts, and the rear bumper gets a touch of additional metal trim at the bottom. BMW has also added standard LED turn signals in the side mirrors.
BMW has enhanced the interior with added chrome trim, high-gloss black trim around the center console, sliding covers for the cup holders and new interior upholstery designs. The X3 is also getting a major boost in optional technology - there's a new Parking Assistant, as well as an Active Driving Assistant with adaptive cruise control, Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning, Pedestrian Warning, and City Collision Mitigation.
