2001 Bmw M5! No Title! Florida Certificate Of Destruction Only! Runs Great! on 2040-cars

Year:2001 Mileage:140009
Location:

Alpharetta, Georgia, United States

Alpharetta, Georgia, United States

This vehicle is currently located in Atlanta, GA.  I am a used car dealer.  I basically purchased this vehicle as a toy.  I was going to use it as a track car.  When I purchased the vehicle, it did not run and drive.  The engine was locked.  The cause seemed to be a blown head gasket.  No coolant in radiator, all the coolant was in the block when we drained the oil.  I had a perfect engine & gearbox out of another M5 that was wrecked badly and not worth repairing.  That engine went into this car.  The donor cars mileage at the time of the swap was 86,348 and the donor car was a 2002 M5.  If you want the VIN to verify or pics of the donor car, just let me know.

This vehicle that I am selling ONLY comes with a Florida Certificate of Destruction.  Please don't ask me why, where, how to get a title for it, etc.  The answer will be I do not know.  If you are the high bidder, its your responsibility to know the rules and regulations of your home state or country as well as what you can and can't do with the car once you acquire it.  Included with the sale of the car will be the Florida Certificate of Destruction and a bill of sale from me.  That is all.

The bad:The car was involved in an accident in its past life.  It was repaired fairly, but not perfectly.  The front bumper is not original, fog lights are missing.  PDC sensors are not connected.  Plastic panels under & around the front end were not replaced.  Paint work is fair, some imperfections, but for the most part you have to be looking for them or know what you're looking for.  Dent below drivers side tail light.  Drivers door window regulator is not working.  Aftermarket wheels, painted calipers.  Star in windshield.

The good:Newer, lower mileage engine and gearbox.  Fresh oil change with Liqui Moly 10w60.  Some brittle vacuum hoses were replaced while the new engine was being installed.  Power steering hose replaced.  Car runs, drives great.  No check engine light on.  Brand new front rotors and pads (less than 300 miles).  Interior is in very good condition.  No major interior issues, no major rips, tears, odors, stains, etc.  Aftermarket wheels have good tires.

Please ask as many questions as possible.  I have perfect feedback and want to keep it that way.  I tried to give you an honest description.  If you have any other questions, just let me know.  High bidder is buying the car as-is.  No warranties or guarantees.

BMW makes X7 in Spartanburg official

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

BMW has made it official - there will be a flagship crossover called X7, and it will be built right here in the US of A. The announcement was made today, confirming rumors of the new model at the Spartanburg, SC factory that broke earlier this week.
"Plant Spartanburg was built to enhance and expand the BMW lineup, underscoring the BMW Group commitment to the United States" said Dr. Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the BMW board of management in a statement. "In addition to the X3, X5, X6, and the new X4, we are today announcing another all-new, larger X model to be manufactured exclusively at this plant for our world markets: the X7."
BMW will spend $1 billion by 2016 upgrading its South Carolina factory, which already produces the X3, X5 and X6. The plant is currently capable of producing 300,000 units per year, but with the big investment from BMW, capacity will climb to 450,000 units. 800 jobs will be added as a result of the investment and new and upcoming models.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW i3 goes against Mercedes B-Class ED, Tesla good for business

Wed, Sep 17 2014

Car and Driver has published a comparison test pitting the 2014 BMW i3 against the 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-class Electric Drive. The test not only measured the quality of the driving experience, but also all the quantitative details that are especially important when looking at electric vehicles. For instance, the Benz's real-world MPGe surpassed its own rating, but it still couldn't match the BMW. The B-Class, though, won in the range department. We won't spoil all the results, or Car and Driver's overall pick, but you can head over to the article to find out for yourself. Tesla's expanding business, including the Gigafactory being built in Reno, NV, is encouraging growth in the locales and associated businesses. Some of Tesla's suppliers are talking of relocation, wanting to be close to the action stirred up by the electric automaker's expansion. It makes good business sense to be in the same neighborhood as Tesla. "We can react quickly, and our engineers are constantly working with Tesla," says Futuris General Manager Sam Coughlin. Brookings Institute fellow Jennifer Vey says, "The land around Tesla is being redeveloped and reimagined. It's a mash-up of an anchor campus, startups, housing and transit, in a physically compact area where companies can cluster and connect." Read more at San Jose Mercury News. EVs are doing even more to reduce energy use clean up the air, according to new analysis from the Union of Concerned Scientists. According to findings, 60 percent of Americans now live in areas where EVs do more to reduce emissions than hybrids, up from 45 percent in 2012. Average electricity use is now 0.325 kWh per mile, down five percent from 2011. EV performance - in terms of mileage and emissions - is improving compared to traditional fuel vehicles, based on the sources of electricity in various regions.

Zipcar is expanding across Europe, and has already established itself in Austria, Spain and the UK. According to Zipcar France's General Manager Etienne Hermite, "In a highly populated city, Zipcar's model has been proven to remove up to 15 personally owned vehicles from the road for each Zipcar in service, reducing parking demand, congestion and emissions." Zipcar European President Massimo Marsili hopes that most Parisians will eventually be just a short walk from a Zipcar.
