2003 Bmw M5 Fully Loaded, 89k Miles, Lemans Blue On Blue! on 2040-cars
Vernon Hills, Illinois, United States
For sale is a well maintained, lower mile, and quite clean example of a late model E39 M5. This is a close friends car that I helped him acquire, and he has asked for me to move it for him to make way for a new toy. I told him he'll regret it, to which his simple response was "I know".
Currently the car is with me in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. The car is LeMans Blue with the two tone blue/black interior, sitting with 87,2xx miles. She was purchased in November 2012 from an older gentleman who drove the car from his home in New Jersey to his home in the Miami area multiple times a year, so the majority of the mileage is truly highway cruising. The biggest plus was the clutch had been replaced at 75K miles by the previous owner, and though that's the one service record I didn't get from him (he did it at an indy shop instead of the dealer, and lost this receipt), I knew it was the truth right when I drove the car; clutch engagement is super crisp and drives exactly as a fresh one should. The car makes no vanos noises, non of that secondary carbon....just a smooth running powerful motor that one would expect especially from a 2003 I'm a professional concours level detailer on the side and I brought this paint back to life when he got the car, and have again refreshed it for the next owner (thankfully a lot less work this time around The interior is no less minty than the outside. The seats have minimal wear on the side bolsters, and truly only the steering and shift knob show the age of the car. I had the wheels refinished when he acquired the car, so they are absolutely minty and are shod in tires with 7-8/32nds of tread depth. No curbs, not even any chips honestly. The only damage other than expected rock chips and the occasional ding is on the front bumper; he was parking and got the front end just a bit too far into the overly tall curb, which cracked the lowest portion of the front bumper on the passenger side, and took the underplastic and exterior temperature sensor with it. Hard to notice unless you have the car on a lift. VIN: WBSDE93473CF92632 Here's a list of many of the maintenance stuffs done to the car that I have records for: 89k-Fuel Pump changed 86K-Oil changed 82K-Oil changed 80K-Fan Clutch Replaced 78K-Front wheel replaced, oil filter canister mounts replaced, oil changed 74K-Oil changed 67K-Front pads and rotors, thermostat, sunroof cassette assembly, front thrust arm bushings, oil changed The car throws an intermittent P1118 code for dirty MAF sensor. I cleaned the sensors and the light went away, but they need cleaning again (very simple DIY job) since the SES is currently on. Modifications wise, the car only has very minor things: -BnB Axle Back Mufflers (here is a sound clip from youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28rX-gidi5o) -DICE MediaBridge Bluetooth |

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod
Thu, 20 Jun 2013Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
Here's what else you could buy for the average new-car price of $40,573
Fri, Jan 22 2021Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. The average price of a new car in America hit a new record in December 2020: $40,573. Not that we're surprised — the average has been over $35,000 for the past few years — but seeing that baseline figure crest 40 large is still a sticker-shock to the system. So, as we do every once in a while, we put our collective heads together and came up with a list of alternatives that you could choose to buy for that sum, new or old, classic or practical. Now, let's be crystal clear about one thing here. We're not actually recommending you make this type of decision. That said, we wouldn't blame you if you did. Managing Editor Greg Rasa: $40,000 will buy a fully loaded Camry or moderately equipped crossover. Or, for $39,997, to be exact, one could go motoring in a fine British automobile. This 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante in Alabama has 21,452 miles on it, and depreciation has worked its cruel magic: It is listed for less than one-quarter of its $168,000 starting MSRP when it was new. A check of other used DB9s nationwide indicates this is a fair price. This Aston's CarFax reveals two owners. (One, really, as the second was a dealership. Looks like it got traded in for a Porsche.) If you're understandably concerned about reliability, its service history indicates no surprises to date. Remember, it has a 450-horsepower 5.9-liter V12. And spring is coming. Of course a used Aston Martin is riskier than a new Camry. But as Louis Prima sang, "Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think." What price beauty? Less than $40 grand. Associate Editor Byron Hurd: This price point opens up a ton of options in the "nearly new" luxury space, including a few good enthusiast picks, but my nod here goes to the Cadillac ATS-V. The discontinued, M3/M4-rivaling, 465-horsepower sport sedan and coupe can be had all day long in this price range with low miles. In fact, the real challenge is finding one in the spec you want, since it's one of those old-fashioned cars that actually presented the buyer with choices. Here's a clean, six-speed sedan in an actual color for less than our target price, for example. Coupes are more plentiful than sedans, especially in interesting colors, but there are plenty of them out there.
BMW X1 testing is underway
Thu, 10 Oct 2013It was just a few weeks ago that we got our first glimpse of the next-generation BMW X1, riding around on a flatbed. Now, we have the first batch of images of the small crossover moving under its own steam.
Like the previous round of photos, BMW's psychedelic camouflage is on hand to obscure sheetmetal details, but our intrepid spies still managed to discover a bit about the new X1. It's internal code-name will be F48, and it will sit on the same platform as the next-generation Mini and the BMW 1 Series GT. And for those keeping track at home, those are both front-drive platforms.
The reasoning for the X1's new layout, though, is understandable. Front-wheel drive is more space efficient and affordable, which are kind of big deals to customers. The next X1 won't be limited to its front wheels, though, as BMW's xDrive system is almost a certainty on higher-end trims.
