2001 Bmw M5 Base Sedan 4-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Freedom, Pennsylvania, United States
For your consideration, an E39 2001 BMW M5. Title in hand! Two owner car! Original owner was a prominent business man who had the car meticulously maintained. Purchased the car 2yrs ago from Chicago.
List of what I did: -Wrapped Interior Trim -Re-wrapped Steering wheel (Leather and Alcantera) -Both MAF sensors -Vanos Solenoids tested and repaired -Door lock solenoid -Pixels repaired on instrument cluster -Fuel Pump and Filter This car is a BMW icon. In many opinions, the E39 M5 was the best M5 built to date! Perfect combination of style and performance. The 4l V8 produces 400hp, and takes this car from 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. You will not be unsatisfied with this cars performance, I assure you! Car notes: The e39 M5 like e46 M3's have noisy vanos units. This noisy is what the describe as "diesel rattle!" I can provide more information if needed. See link from Dr Vanos below. These units are also well known for the annoying rattling or diesel sound heard at idle and low RPM's. It needs mentioning that the rattling noise is not related to the failing seals or solenoids, and is a separate issue of it's own. It will not harm the engine and is not an indication of the health of the vanos, but is simply an engineering oversight that can be easily fixed with some minor internal modifications. The common M5 'diesel rattle' can be attributed to the splined gears that fit at the back of the vanos, connecting the vanos to the cam gears. Each splined gear has a bearing assembly inside which allows it to spin freely with the camshaft. These bearing assemblies are designed with a very loose tolerance from the manufacturer, causing them to rattle or resonate at certain RPM's. At DrVanos we slightly modify these bearings to bring the tolerances much closer together for a tighter fit. By reducing the tolerances in the bearing assembly, the gears no longer resonate and the diesel rattling is reduced considerably. This is a permanent modification that will last the life of the car. There is an oil pan leak(small). Either lower pan or oil sending solenoids There is one dent that needs to be removed Fender liner was previously scraped on the front lower valence. Car is located in Economy Borough PA, a northern Pittsburgh, PA suburb. |

BMW Active Tourer to hit US showrooms in 2015
Tue, 26 Nov 2013It's been over a year since BMW unveiled the Concept Active Tourer at the Paris Motor Show, and another four months since it brought the concept back in Outdoor guise (pictured above). Now word has it that the Bavarian automaker is putting it into production.
Although production specs and dimensions have yet to be revealed, the Concept Active Tourer came in a bit smaller than the existing BMW X1. The production version is expected to be based on the same platform that underpins the new Mini hatchback revealed last week in LA, meaning that it will be predominantly front-drive, but an all-wheel-drive version could follow.
There will also be a longer version with a third row of seats, forming part of a new generation of front-drive BMWs to take on the likes of the Audi A1 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class family, of which the GLA will be the Active Tourer's most direct rival. Expect the Active Tourer to arrive in 2015 with a new front-drive sedan to follow in 2017 aimed particularly at the North American and Chinese markets.
2015 BMW X4 gets its small-screen debut
Thu, 26 Jun 2014It's easy to dismiss the 2015 BMW X4. On one hand, the high-style crossover seems more like a boardroom decision than a practical one. In a world with the 3 Series, 4 Series, X3, 3 Series GT and 4 Series Gran Coupe, is BMW really being inundated with requests for a baby X6? Of course, when we finally got behind the wheel of the CUV for our First Drive, it proved rather entertaining, and certainly the X6's global sales success suggests that it's worth the relatively low-cost risk for the Bavarian automaker.
Now, it's the general public's chance to weigh in on the latest crossover Bimmer and vote with their dollars. The X4 is just hitting showrooms in the US, and BMW is beginning its marketing campaign for it with the slogan "Embrace the Unknown." The first TV ad shows off the CUV driving through the world's major cities as they undulate like the rolling ocean. A woman flatly says phrases starting with "Go," while a synth-heavy score plays underneath that wouldn't be out of place over the end credits in an '80s sci-fi movie.
Visually, it's actually kind of a cool ad and evokes some of the special effects from Inception. Focusing on an urban atmosphere is probably a good idea, too, because the percentage of X4s going offroad is likely to be in the low single digits, if that. Now, let's see if BMW buyers are willing to embrace the unknown of the X4. Scroll down to watch it for yourself.
BMW dismisses Tesla tie-up talk
Tue, Dec 2 2014Despite recent rumors to the contrary, don't expect to see much collaboration between Tesla and BMW in the near future. Based on some rather prickly statements from the German automaker, Elon Musk might have even burnt some bridges in Bavaria with his latest proclamations. The spat stems from Musk's recent interview with German magazine Der Spiegel where he discusses future collaboration with BMW on "battery technology or charging stations" and the possibility of a battery factory in Germany. But apparently, any future tie-ups are news to the Bavarian automaker. In an interview with the German business publication Wirtschafts Woche, an unnamed spokesperson for the company claims Musk said it all for PR value and swats down most of the statements. BMW has no intention of acquiring Tesla shares, and they aren't working together on any tech. There's not much chance for future cooperation on a battery factory in Germany, either. BMW believes that the cells can just as easily be purchased from suppliers, like other auto parts. The one slight concession is that the spokesperson said that the German automaker would be willing to supply Tesla with carbon fiber. That's not an exclusive offer, though, and the company is open to negotiate such a deal with any interested automaker.
