2002 Bmw M5 M5 on 2040-cars
Logan, Kansas, United States
I am always available by mail at: jacklynjkkaten@stonerfans.com .
For sale is my 2002 BMW M5. This has been by far the best car I have ever owned, but I'm in the market for a
track car. I am the 1st and 4th owner of this particular car. I purchased it new in 2001, then traded it in for
an E60 M5 in 2006. The car sold locally, left town for a while, then I came across it again in 2009. I loved this
car so much I made an offer to that owner right away and bought it back 3 mos later! I have NEVER been
disappointed. This vehicle has always done everything I have ever asked of it. The miles are slightly high
because I have often chosen this car for long trips to Chicago or Dallas or Denver. It's awesome on the highway,
and a complete blast in the city. I've placed a fairly low reserve as I just want to do this once...
Upgrades: over time, I have done some subtle, but very nice upgrades.
Dinan exhaust-sounds absolutely fantastic
Lowered 1/2 inch all around
3.73 differential-very quick off the line
Dinan front strut tower brace
Stainless steel brake lines
Short shifter
Slotted rotors
Dust free pads
The exterior shows normal wear, with no major blemishes. Crack in front right fog, angel eyes are perfect. The
interior is super clean, nothing significant to report. The second owner deleted the CD changer for an iPod
interface. Cruise works, AC works, and the M sound system is great. Sporty aluminum trim, and nice window tint.
Both keys included, and an extra set of floor mats (which are pretty worn underneath but could be good weather
mats.)

BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead
Fri, 02 Aug 2013
Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Lexus back in luxury sales race after three-year absence
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Think the only challengers for the title of best-selling luxury brand hail from der Vaterland? Wrong. Lexus outsold the likes of Mercedes-Benz for the second time in 2014 last month. In fact, the Japanese luxury marque's total sales this year are a mere 12,000 units behind BMW.
Lexus was able to move 26,921 vehicles last month, a year-over-year increase of 21.1 percent, respectively. Mercedes, meanwhile, was just barely beaten, moving 26,617 units in April. The difference, though, is that Lexus has made far bigger year-over-year gains than Mercedes, which recorded a YOY increase of just 4.13 percent.
This is particularly troubling for the Germans, as it marks a return to form for Lexus that we haven't seen since before the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that decimated Japan. Prior to that natural disaster, Lexus enjoyed nearly a dozen years at the top of the luxury heap.
