2000 Bmw E39 M5 Dinan Ac Schnitzer Alpina, Low Miles, No Reserve!!! on 2040-cars
Elizabeth, New Jersey, United States
Up for auction is one of the best driver's cars, and perhaps the best handling 4-door sedan ever made - the E39 BMW M5. Its combination of brute power, luxurious accommodations, and precise handling made it a favorite among car enthusiasts the world over. Its 400+ horsepower engine, mated to a responsive Getrag 6-speed manual make it supercar fast for economy car money.
Here's a detailed description of this particular car. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. You can reach me at (908)247-1055. Engine/Drivetrain The 5.0L V8 engine in this car is simply amazing. It revs insanely fast, and sounds amazing. The intakes are stock, with OEM air filters in good shape. The car does not leak any oil or any other fluid. The cooling system was serviced 2 months ago with new OEM thermostat and coolant flush, as well as O2 sensors. Receipt for all services from independent shop in included. The engine burns no oil, and although has a slight traditional VANOS rattle at idle, there are no leaks in the VANOS system. The car has a Dinan Stage 1 ECU installed. This increases the rev limiter to 7300 rpm, and removes the factory 155 mpg speed limiter. The receipt for the Dinan ECU is included. The "//M" badge on the top of the engine is a bit faded, and the windshield washer cap for the reservoir is missing. The Transmission is a very responsive Getrag 6-speed manual. There are no crunches or grinds in any gear, and engagement is smooth. The driveline is completely smooth and has no vibration while driving at all. The bushings and linkages all feel very tight and in great condition. The car has a factory-installed limited-slip differential that functions beautifully and helps the car handle in quick starts and high-speed bends. Exhaust The Exhaust is stock manifolds into a Dinan catback with polished stainless steel tips, which was over $1800 new, (receipt included). The car sounds absolutely amazing and very exotic. It's whisper quiet while cruising, but very loud when you open the throttle. A great addition to the drivability of the car, and with the addition of the ECU, it produces well in excess of the stock 400 horsepower. If you'd like to know what it sounds like click below for a YouTube video of a similar setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywcrYM1llko Exterior The car's Titanium Silver Metallic exterior is in generally good condition, but it does have a few issues. Previously, the car was backed into while parked and incurred damage to the driver's side front and rear doors, along with the rocker panel. The parts were replaced with OEM replacements and painted and blended with the rest of the car. A receipt from the bodyshop, along with warranty for the work is included. The moldings on the driver's side of the car are from the non-M 5-series, but color-matched to the rest of the trim. There is a small dent on the driver's side rear passenger's door, which can likely be popped out. Doors have no alignment issues. The mirrors were painted flat black to match the exterior trim. The front kidney grilles are aftermarket, and have a few fitment issues, and the hood appears to have some body filler behind the grilles, but it isn't noticeable. There are small cracks and paint chips on the front bumper on the passenger's side, and some scratches on the rear bumper. The rear spoiler is a Genuine Alpina. However, when it was installed, it appears to have some slight damage to the passenger's side bottom, where a metal screw is exposed and there's a small gap in the bodywork. The rear lower valence has been painted in a scratch-proof black bedliner material. The paint can be polished to a very deep shine and no body panels have any alignment issues. The car has no rust on the exterior of the car. Interior The interior is in amazing condition. The seats and door panels are 2-tone Sport trim, with silver Ostrich print trim. There are no rips in the seats, but the driver's seat has a little bit of wear. It can likely be massaged out with a good conditioner to be made 100 percent. It looks great as-is. The car's original trim was brushed aluminum, wrapped in 3M 1080 Brushed Titanium Vinyl. It looks awesome with the color combination and ties the car together. The shifter boot is in good condition, but has a small tear at the top, which isn't noticeable from the driver's side. The carpets are a deep black and are in great shape. The cup holders are in working shape and aren't cracked or broken. In addition, a TEC foldable aluminum cup holder ($95) is installed in the storage compartment behind the ashtray. The trunk panels are in good shape, however the foldable top panel has some fabric missing from the top right corner and you can see the wood underneath. In addition, there's a sticker on the right side of the trunk that was unable to remove. No air pump is included, and most of the BMW tools are intact. The car has a power rear sunshade and rear manual window shades, all in great shape and make the car feel much more luxurious. All original owner's manuals are included. Audio/Electronics The car's audio system is the BMW Premium Audio with DSP and Navigation. An upgraded 16:9 Widescreen Navigation display unit is installed from a 2001 BMW X5. It has zero dead pixels and works amazingly. I will include a cassette to AUX adapter. The car's audio system works flawlessly and the subwoofers and tweeters work well to make a strong sound stage. No Navigation CD is included. All electronics on the car work flawlessly. The car's gauge cluster has the common issue of bleeding LCD screen, but a new LCD strip in included for the next owner to install. The headlights on the car are upgraded OEM Self-leveling BMW HID/halo units with 4300K HID Philips bulbs. The car has been upgraded with factory daytime running lights and LED Halos. The fog light bulbs are new. One key is included, but the keyless entry functions on the key do not work. The car locks and unlocks with the driver's door lock, as well as summer open/close functions. Suspension The car has factory suspension, and everything is in great shape. The car has had a recent alignment, and the printout for the measurements and specs will be included in the sale. Climate Control/AC The dual-zone climate control works flawlessly and has no leaks or issues with either heat or air conditioning. The LCD has no bleeding and works like new. Wheels/Tires The Wheels are 19" AC Schnitzer Type IV staggered units. They were originally black and coated in Plastidip Real Aluminum. This is entirely reversible, but I felt it ties the look of the car together. The wheels have some curb rash on them, and the front right wheel has a gouge in the lip. All wheels and tires have been balanced and don't vibrate at any speed. The tires are a matched set of Continental ContiSport Contact 235/40/19 front, and 265/35/19 rear, with more than 50% tread depth. They are very sticky and hold the road quite well without losing grip on high-G turns. Brakes The rotors on this car are slotted rotors front and rear, with lots of life left on the front and rear pads. However, the emergency brake shoes are worn and render the emergency brake useless. They would need to be changed to use the emergency brake properly. The car still stays in place if it is left in gear. Drivability This car will make you fall in love with German cars. It has neck-snapping acceleration from a stop, and sounds as exotic as any Ferrari, while having room for 5 with luggage. It's the perfect daily driver or weekend mountain carver. It truly is the Ultimate Driving machine. Vehicle History The car was garaged for the last few years and driven very sparingly. The car has 84,105 miles.

12 best hybrid SUVs for 2022
Tue, Jun 15 2021If you're searching for the best hybrid SUV, the truth is there actually aren't that many choices. While there's an endless sea of those powered solely by gasoline, those that add batteries and superior fuel economy to the mix are few and far between. The very good news, however, is that the choices you have are actually excellent. The top-selling and top-rated Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are not only available as hybrids, for instance, but are actually at their most appealing as hybrids. Luxury hybrid SUVs are a different story. While Lexus offers each of its crossover SUVs as a conventional hybrid, those of other brands are by and large plug-in hybrids that provide a relatively brief amount of all-electric propulsion, superior fuel economy and higher prices that are somewhat countered by EV tax rebates. We include both conventional hybrids and plug-in hybrids in the below list of best hybrid SUVs. All are listed alphabetically within each category. Best small hybrid SUVs | Best midsize hybrid SUVs Best luxury hybrid SUVs | Best luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs Best small hybrid SUVs Honda CR-V Hybrid Why it stands out: Best-in-class back seat space; hybrid's distinctive EV-like power delivery; middle lower LATCH anchorCould be better: Antiquated and glitchy tech interface; a bit dull Hybrid fuel economy: 38 mpg combined (AWD only) Read our 2022 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, strong safety ratings and well-regarded reliability. In terms of its hybridness, we like that Honda's distinctive hybrid system sees most of its propulsion handled by the electric motor (the engine rarely powers the wheels directly), resulting in a more EV-like, torque-rich power delivery and a less obtrusive gas engine. For the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, the CR-V Hybrid checks every box. Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Why it stands out: Beautiful interior; excellent infotainment and safety technology; traditional automatic transmissionCould be better: No spare tire; styling a tad outrageous Hybrid fuel economy: 37-38 mpg combined (AWD only) Plug-in hybrid electric range: 33 miles Plug-in hybrid fuel economy: 80 MPGe Read our 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review The Tucson is the new kid in town and it's made quite an entrance.
Land Rover Defender V8, next Range Rover, new BMW M3 share the Nurburgring
Thu, Jul 23 2020From open-track days to 24-hour races, so many events are held on Germany's Nurburgring track that carmakers need to share the tarmac with their rivals to put new models through their paces. Industry pool days are normally closed to the public, but a seven-minute video reveals what Land Rover, BMW, and several others are testing. Posted on YouTube by StatesideSupercars, the video shows prototypes racing around the track in the mid-summer heat. Land Rover's engineers are busy putting the final touches on the V8-powered variant of the new Defender, which our spies have previously spotted testing in its home country of England, and they're developing what looks like the high-performance, SVR-badged version of the next-generation Range Rover due out in 2020. As we reported earlier in 2020, the hot-rodded Defender packs a 5.0-liter V8 between its fenders, though its horsepower and torque outputs remain under wraps. Unverified rumors claim it will arrive as a limited-edition model to avoid sending Land Rover's fleet-wide CO2 emissions through the roof. And, the video confirms chassis engineers have made extensive modifications to the SUV's suspension, partly to keep body roll in check. Walking down the pits, members of BMW's testing team are getting up early to put track miles on an enigmatic variant of the face-lifted M5, and on the next-generation M3. We've already seen the M5 in the metal, so why is it still camouflaged? One possible answer is that we're looking at the rumored CS version, which should receive a 641-horsepower V8 thanks to software tweaks and a better cooling system. The simpler (and more boring) possibility is that BMW isn't quite done testing the M5, and it doesn't want to waste time removing the black and white wrap. Your author regularly spotted i8 prototypes in full camouflage regalia months after its debut. As for the M3, much has already been said about its mammoth grille, which seemingly mirrors the one worn by the new 4 Series. Autoblog drove a pre-production prototype in June and walked away impressed. It receives an evolution of the X3 M's 3.0-liter straight-six turbocharged to 473 horsepower, though selecting the optional Competition package will increase that figure to 503. And, fear not: The six-speed stick is coming back. Land Rover and BMW aren't the only companies playing on the 'Ring.
Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study
Wed, Jul 22 2015The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car.
