One of the best color combinations I've seen on the E39.  I purchased in 2009, and have maintained since.

In October changed the front pads and rotors.  The front sensor wire was spliced by my friend. Rear pads and rotors changed in fall 2012.  I recently changed the fan clutch and changed out the plastic for an aluminum pulley from  DDS Tuning.  Both Electric Fan resistors were changed last year.  The radiatior and water pump were changed in 2011 (i think). front and rear wheel bearings were changed in 2009.  Front Struts done in 2011/ or early 2012.  I changed out all the transmission sensors because I got a 1st to 2nd gear code last year. ( I only needed to change 1)  These cars are notorious for oil leaks, I just keep and eye and add aas needed. My Hood cable snapped, and had to break the grills to access the hood latches.  They are glued in place ... If you want to change out  (40 or 50 bucks on ebay) Wiper Relay (20 bucks ebay)  Wiper Pump (20 bucks ebay).  The climate control lights up but no blowing air (FSU, or Fuse)  if I have time, I'll look at it this weekend.  The rear tires may have another season. worn enough to make that whinig sound. (google it). All 4 match.

I usually keep up with all maintainence and detail my car in/out.  With the weather being so bad, I have neglected her.  I was planning on re-dying the seats and full exterior detail, but  it's time to move on.....my heart is set on an E60!   If the auction price gets up there in price, I will fix the cosmetic issues   The chrome trim around the belt line and windows was covered with Plasti-dip and could easily come off. There is a clear coat issue on the roof and some on the front bumper.    I was ready to order the leather dye, but i'm holding off.   

Someone in a Cargo Van backed up into a parking spot and left a "golf sized"  dent right over the kidney grill.  It was reported to insurance and had the hood and right fender sprayed.  within 4 months, something fell from the above elevated train and caused damage on that freshly painted hood.  This time I left it.  See pics  It was on the carfax, not sure if it dropped off.

People find it hard to beleive that this car in 16 years old. Once detailed, she outshines some '13's and '14s on the block and parking garages.

Like I said, I have my eye out for an E60.  I'm in no rush to sell.   I would like for someone who has a passion for BMW's to purchase her.  Know what you're getting yourself into.

I have other photos if interested.

Thanks for looking.

BMW says yes to 1 Series M successor, no to M6 Gran Coupe with xDrive

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

If you're anything like us, the first half of that headline made you smile. The BMW 1 Series M Coupe was, without a doubt, one of our favorite cars from the past few years, and according to a BMW Blog interview, Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, head of the company's M division, has confirmed that a successor is in the works.
"We haven't made a decision yet, but the 1M coupe was so successful, that in my opinion, I am absolutely sure we will build a successor," Nitschke told BMW Blog. Currently, BMW only offers the M135i version of the new 1 Series hatch in Europe, which Nitschke says is "not a pure M car."
Moving elsewhere in the M range, BMW Blog asked about the M6 Gran Coupe that recently debuted at this year's Detroit Auto Show. The obvious competitors for this car will be higher-power versions of the Porsche Panamera and Audi RS7, but while both of those offer all-wheel drive, the M6 only sends power to its rear wheels.

BMW 4 Series spied with its future competition

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

BMW showed off its new 4 Series coupe in concept form at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, but it won't be long before we see the production model, evidenced by this modestly camouflaged prototype spotted testing. In case you forgot, the 4 Series serves as the replacement for the two-door versions of the BMW 3 Series, just as the upcoming 2 Series will effectively be the new version of the 1 Series coupe and convertible sold in our market.
This isn't our first glimpse of the 4 Series out testing, and we've even spied its droptop, Gran Coupe and too-hot M4 kin. We don't expect the final design to stray too much from the concept car seen in Detroit, albeit without the normal conceptual goodies like oversized wheels and with the overstyled front fascia toned down a bit. Our spy photographers even caught the 4 Series coupe hanging out with an Audi A5, giving us a good glimpse at how the two cars will stack up in terms of size and design.
It's still unknown exactly what engines will power the car when it comes to production, but since this thing is a derivative of the 3 Series, we expect the usual range of turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines to be available, likely in 428i ad 435i guise (though, to be fair, the larger 640i coupe uses a 3.0-liter turbo engine, so there's even the potential for 440i nomenclature to work its way into the mix). We'll have to wait until the car officially bows later this year to know for sure.

BMW i3 called 'most revolutionary car' since Ford Model T

Sat, Jan 17 2015

The Ultimate Driving Machine, or at least one of them, may also be the Ultimate Engineering Success. Consultant Munro & Associates, which specializes in automotive tear-down analysis, pretty much said as much when taking an under-the-skin look at the BMW i3 plug-in. In short, the firm liked what it saw. Presenting at Detroit's Plastic's in Automotive conference this week, Munro CEO Sandy Munro called BMW's first mast-produced plug-in model the most revolutionary car "since Henry Ford's Model T." The car earned big points for its substantial uses of materials that are both lightweight (key for any plug-in's range) and recyclable. BMW has touted these advantages all along. In late 2013, the German automaker went as far as saying its use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) would reduce customer costs related to both repair and insurance. The i3 went on sale in the US last May and, by the end of the year, moved more than 6,000 units here. It sold almost 17,800 The i3 last November also was named the Green Car of the Year at the Los Angeles Auto Show, beating out models such as the compressed-natural-gas-powered Chevrolet Impala B-Fuel and the Audi A3 TDI diesel. Munro made news earlier this week when it offered a free i3 for anyone who bought the master- or OEM-level version of the report, though the report isn't cheap and that offered disappeared once Munro made his presentation. Check out Munro & Associates' press release below. Munro Discusses Groundbreaking Technology Finds from BMW i3 Teardown at Plastics in Automotive Conference; Offers New BMW i3 for Purchasers of Master-level Report DETROIT, Jan. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- During today's Plastics in Automotive Conference in Detroit, Sandy Munro, CEO of Munro & Associates, Inc., discussed – for the first time publicly – his consulting firm's findings from its extensive deep-dive teardown, costing and benchmark study of the BMW i3 urban electric car. During his presentation, "Deconstructing the BMW i3: Groundbreaking Technology and the Composite Car," Munro discussed the carbon fiber life module, polymer components, recyclability and safety of what he considers to be "the most revolutionary car in terms of creative engineering and manufacturing since Henry Ford's Model T." During the presentation, Munro focused on four crucial aspects of the BMW i3: the manufacturing of its carbon fiber life module; its polymer components; recyclability; and safety.
