HISTORY: I purchased the car from local BMW dealer in 2007 with 46,358 miles. Documented 1 owner trade in with a copy of original title as sold in Little Rock April 2000. BODY CONDITION: There are a few door dings and a small crack in the front spoiler. I have not had any thing touched up or concealed after 6 years of hobby use. I do drive it and If you want it near perfect $500 to $1,000 with a top paint and body guy that knows how to blend panels should do it. I think a buyer would prefer to see the all original paint to know what he is buying. There are two exceptions. Someone recently pointed out that the M5 emblem is too high on the decklid so I checked out the rear of the car super closely and discovered (after 6 years of ownership) that the decklid has been repainted. The only way I could tell (because the paint job is a perfect match) is that the barcode behind the license plate is painted over. The paint work is so good I suspect the vertical portion was blended in and the top portion is original. I have no idea why and suspect it was for a minor dent or scratch. There is absolutely no evidence of any damage. The hairline split in the front spoiler was there when I bought it and I had it repaired and the front spoiler only repainted the first month I owned the car. He was not a great choice and the job he did has just been OK, but we are talking spoiler only here and the crack reappeared when I nudged a curb one day last year. This is only seen on close inspection. MECHANICALS: Most work performed at dealership except recent suspension work by a certified BMW independent shop. I did not even know these existed until this one opened by a certified "defector" tech from the local dealership. The only issues with this car is the SES light is on and has been professionally diagnosed (coded) from both the local dealership as well as the independent as cold air secondary port contamination. I have recently began using KB44 gas additive (look it up on the internet) in conjunction with a strict no ethanol 92 octane gas diet. Aftyer only 2 tanks the SES light went off for most of a 160 mile jaunt through the mountains, on the freeway and only reappeared after another 10 miles of city driving. I believe the carbon is breaking up and keep in mind these are monitoring passageways built into the heads that are in use less than 3 minutes when the car is cold. It is emmissions monitoring only and does not effect the cars performance. Brakes are good, tires are nearly new, new ball joints, thrust rods and rear link. The car runs strong, never any vanos or any other issues. INTERIOR: This is not the E39 platform's strong suit and it has the usual broken cup holders as well as one quarter glass sunshade does not retract and one of the visor mirror light switches works when it wants to. There is the normal "ballglove" type creases in the leather. I personally like the aged leather look, but suppose this could be made to look new again with leather dressings. I have only used clear leather treatments without any stains. Amazingly, no light pixels are out. Car does have Navigation with original disc and 6 CD changer set up on original sound system. WHEELS and TIRES: 18" custom matched Zenettis (current prices are aropund $2,000 for a set - super high quality) made specifically for E39 M5's or E39 540i's with sport package. The exact correct offset of the original wheels. I do not have the original wheels. The tires were installed 8/13/12 and are Cooper RS3A's.

BMW reveals new X5 Security Plus in Moscow
Thu, 21 Aug 2014A major player in the Russian market, BMW is heading to the Moscow Motor Show this month with a slew of local debuts... most of which we've already seen. But among all the new models making the trek from Bavaria to Moscow will be the new X5 Security Plus.
In a new-model launch that will surprise exactly no one, BMW's latest armored vehicle upgrades the X5 with enhanced protection for oligarchs against Chechen rebels, AK47-touting gangsters and missiles randomly falling on Crimean highways. Now meeting the VR6 standard of ballistic protection, the new X5 Security Plus incorporates reinforced bodywork, seats and joints, along with bulletproof glass.
Of course all that reinforcement (not to mention the jars of beluga caviar and bottles of Stoli in the glovebox) will come with a weight penalty, but the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 ought to do the trick, driving 450 horsepower through BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system to get the vehicle's occupants out of a war zone in a hurry.
BMW pays tribute with Z4 racing livery
Tue, Mar 17 2015Whether it's from Martini or BMW, there's something that makes us a little weak in the knees when we see a racing livery of dark blue, light blue and red stripes over white. Like the one on this BMW racer that will compete at Sebring next weekend. Presented alongside its spiritual predecessor at Amelia Island this weekend, this BMW Z4 GTLM has been decked out in a throwback version of the Bavarian automaker's iconic color scheme. It's a tribute to the BMW 3.0 CSL that scored the marque's first victory at the legendary Floridian endurance race 40 years ago and even wears the same number 25. It's as good a reason as any to bring back a racing livery we love, but then we'd probably take just about any occasion to appreciate it anyway. 40 years after the first win in Sebring: BMW presents anniversary design of the BMW Z4 GTLM for the 12-hour race. Munich (DE), 14th March 2015. On 21st March, BMW Team RLL will contest the 63rd staging of the legendary 12-hour race of Sebring (US) in the US state of Florida. The endurance classic is also the second race of the 2015 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). BMW Motorsport and BMW of North America celebrate a special anniversary on their return to Sebring this season: 40 years ago, BMW Motorsport got its first Sebring victory, with the BMW 3.0 CSL. In honour of that success, the two BMW Z4 GTLMs of BMW Team RLL will sport special designs as they compete on the "Sebring International Raceway". Car number 25 will carry the colours of the winning BMW 3.0 CSL of 1975. At an unveiling ceremony, which was part of the "Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance" in northern Florida, BMW of North America presented the anniversary design of the vehicles to the public for the first time. Many of the successful heroes of that time took the opportunity to attend the presentation. Forty years after the historic victory, then winners Brian Redman (US), Sam Posey (US) and Hans-Joachim Stuck (DE) were reunited on Amelia Island. Jochen Neerpasch, the first managing director of BMW Motorsport GmbH, and BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt were also among the guests. They all had front row seats as current BMW Team RLL driver Bill Auberlen (US) completed the first presentation laps in the BMW Z4 GTLM with the anniversary design. 1975 was a significant year in the history of BMW in North America: BMW of North America was founded, and just a few days later came the historic first victory with the BMW 3.0 CSL in Sebring.
Updated BMW X6 spied running the 'Ring in Germany
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Following the debut of the X5 earlier this year, it shouldn't come as a shock that BMW is testing an updated X6 in its homeland. The Munich-based manufacturer trekked to the Nürburgring to test the lifted, four-door coupe it calls a Sports Activity Vehicle, while also giving us our first peak as to what the future holds for one of the weirder models in the brand's stable.
Mainly, we can safely expect the next X6 to get the same range of refinements made to its platform-mate, the X5, which debuted earlier this year. If we're lucky, that could mean an X6 sDrive35i, complete with rear-wheel drive with which to fling the big SAV about. Adding a rear-drive option could also broaden its admittedly limited appeal by lowering the cost of entry, which could serve the pricier X6 well. As a point of reference, the X5 sDrive35i is priced at $2,300 below an xDrive all-wheel-drive-equipped model.
The X6's top-flight xDrive50i model should get the same 45-horsepower bump as the X5 xDrive50i, thanks to refinements to its twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8, while the 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-pot should remain unchanged. We wouldn't hold our breath for an X6 diesel to arrive, although weirder stuff has happened. Like the X5, though, this should be a pretty slim refit that improves an already competent package to go along with an expected increase in price.
