2001 Bmw E39 M5 Low Mileage, Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Milford, Connecticut, United States
I have have performed some small touch-up paint fixes but these are not noticeable unless looking very closely. I have owned the M5 for slightly less than a year. I love the car but have recently purchased another sports car, so unfortunately, the M5 has to go. ** Carfax shows an accident around 26K miles if I remember correctly? I bought the car with about 60K and have experienced no evidence of the accident. My BMW mechanic sees nothing to cause him any concern also. The engine sounds fantastic and pulls very strong. It is a true beast. I have the paperwork on all of the repairs / upgrades I've performed on the car. All work was done by a local BMW specialist. What I have done is the following: o engine work required in order for the car to pass CT emissions, work performed, car passed with no problem o 2 Mass Air Flow Sensors just replaced o New Water Pump installed o New Fuel Filter o Air & Cabin Filters replaced o Castrol Edge Synthetic oil change o New right rear tail lamp installed o New inner hood liner (insulation) o The car came with a center armrest/car phone holder. It offered no storage. I installed a small storage compartment (meant for the M5) All parts are BMW OEM, no generic, no-name parts used. I personally machine polished & waxed the car in Sep'13. 3 new OEM M5 refurbished wheels. Unmarked, like new., no curb rash or dings. One note on the wheels - they should all be "shadow line" which is kind of a gun-metal. I originally replaced 3 wheels in Jul'13 and I then replaced the 4th wheel this past October with a brand new non-refurb wheel. I didn't realize until after the 4th wheel was installed that it was the regular (lighter) colored silver. I will replace the left rear wheel with either a brand new refurb. or a new non-refurb as part of the sale. You are welcome to the wheel that is currently on the car also. If you do a search on refurbed BMW wheels, you'll find a few suppliers. The quality is outstanding and there is no difference in the appearance or quality of these wheels vs. a new, never used wheel. I used "Original Wheels" and "All Factory Wheels." There are no error lights (check engine, etc.) at all. Also, there is no MP3 or iPod jack, but I have a cassette adapter that plugs into your phone to allow you to play your iTunes, Pandora, or even Sirius music (subscription required.) There is a 6 CD changer in the trunk that works sporadically, so I do not use it. Also, the car never came with a spare (from the factory), but I purchased a mini spare from a BMW parts specialists on-line. I have never used it and I can't be 100% sure it will fit, even though it was purchased as fitting an '01 M5. There is a little display pixelation which is common in the E39. It's not an issue imo, but on one of the mileage numbers, it is noticeable at times (not for all numbers.) Note: I have the blue part of the BMW roundels colored in red. These are simply vinyl inserts that you or I can peel off. There was no glue used in the process and the original roundel is underneath. If you're looking for an extremely clean E39 M5, I'm confident you would be very happy with this one. Thanks Payment is due in 7 days, no warranty. |

All 25 James Bond movies ranked only by their cars
Mon, Sep 13 2021There is no shortage of lists ranking the best James Bond movies. Ditto lists about the best or worst James Bond cars. I know, I've written some of them. As such, why not combine the two ideas into one new list that ranks all 25 official James Bond movies based exclusively on their cars, or more accurately their car content. I would then pull from my 25 years of James Bond nerddom plus the excellent "Bond Cars: The Definitive History" and our interview with long-time Bond special effects supervisor Chris Corbould to provide tidbits and factoids about the cars and their roles in the movies. And yes(!), this list now includes "No Time to Die," which impresses by adding plenty of car content to the series. It's now available on Blu-ray and download. To determine the list, I considered the inherent coolness of the cars as well as their importance to Bond, film and car history. I considered their importance to the story as well as the quality/excitement of the chases and scenes they participated in. Finally, I tried my best to divorce the car content from my opinions about the movies in general. That my personal list of best James movies looks nothing like this shows I was at least partially successful. 25. 'Moonraker' There are virtually no cars in "Moonraker." None. Oh, there's a gondola on wheels that makes a pigeon do a double-take, but that's not the same thing as a car. Neither is a golf cart. Or an ambulance. Or a space shuttle. 24. 'From Russia With Love' The literary James Bond mostly drove an ancient Bentley, and "From Russia with Love" is the only film in which it appears. It stays parked and the coolest thing that happens (by 1962 standards) is 007 answers its car phone. Thereafter, we get some old cars (even by 1962 standards) driving around Istanbul and a yellow truck. So yeah. Classic Bond film, a must-watch, just not for its car content. 23. 'Dr. No' History records that the first "Bond car" is the Sunbeam Alpine in "Dr. No." The car itself was literally borrowed from a Miss Jennifer Jackson of 53 Lady Musgrave Road in Jamaica for 10 pounds per day for two days during filming. Also, the stunt where it drove under an excavator blocking the road was entirely conceived because the filmmakers showed up to the road they intended to film on and discovered an excavator blocking the thing. Sadly, those are really the only two things interesting about the Alpine, which is a pretty small and dainty thing by Bond car standards.
BMW will show Mini EV concept at Frankfurt
Wed, Aug 30 2017A month ago, BMW announced that it would electrify all its brands and model lines, including the Mini hatchback. A forthcoming full-electric Mini will enter production in 2019 at the Mini plant in Oxford, England, where the production line would join a German-built electric drivetrain with a British-built body. BMW notes that this will happen exactly 60 years after the original Mini hit the streets. View 5 Photos As the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show is upon us, BMW has introduced the concept version of the aforementioned electric Mini. The manufacturer says the color scheme chosen for the concept matches the previous electrified Mini, the experimental Mini E of 2008. That car was produced in a trial run of 600 units, and it provided BMW with valuable data as it was developing the i3 model, currently on the market. The Mini Electric Concept is powered by a lithium-ion battery, but no numerical specifications or range figures have been announced. It will be interesting to see whether the driving fun inherent to Minis can be translated, as a battery electric vehicle will undoubtedly be heavier than a fossil-fuel hatchback. The closed front grille stands as testament for doing without pistons or a need for engine cooling.

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.
