For sale is my 2008 e60 M5. General info below:
-Exterior: 9.5/10
-Interior: 10/10
-75000 miles
-5.0L V10 engine
-7 speed SMG III transmission
-Registration valid until January 2017
-No accident history. Carfax in hand.
I originally purchased the M5 knowing that the engine wasn't in the best of shape (ran rough, knocking, etc), so I
took it to Castro Motorsport, a reputable shop with a long track record (North Hollywood, CA). The issue was
initially identified as being VANOS-related, so we went ahead and replaced all four VANOS solenoids. Unfortunately,
this didn't fix everything, and we soon found out that bad rod bearings had taken a devastating toll on the engine
(as I had initially suspected). With few options remaining, I decided to go through with a complete engine rebuild.
In addition to machining both cylinder heads, the following parts were replaced (brand new OEM):
-Crankshaft
-Camshafts (on national back-order, imported from BMW Germany)
-Pistons & O-Rings
-Valves & Lifters
-Rod bearings
-VANOS assembly
-VANOS oil pump
-VANOS gearbox
-VANOS solenoids
-Coil packs
-Spark plugs
-Water pump
-Engine mounts
-All belts, pulleys, filters, etc
-All cooling hoses, fluids, etc
We also inspected the entire drive train while it was out. We refilled all fluids and replaced anything else that
looked sub-par, such as the clutch pressure plate, etc. Upon physical completion of the rebuild, the car was taken
to Gintani (Van Nuys, California) for tuning and final touches (currently in the process of scheduling a dyno
session). One more trip to Castro for some custom exhaust work, and the M5 was finally ready to go. I was given
specific break-in instructions, which I have just recently finished by reaching 2,000 miles on the new engine.
Though it pains me to do so, I'm selling the car because I need to free up some additional funds for a business
project. The rebuild comes with a 1 year/12k mile warranty from Castro Motorsport. Additionally, all of the
above-mentioned parts come with a 3-year warranty from Beverly Hills BMW. I have receipts for all parts and labor;
these will be given to the new owner.

BMW may show off autonomous concept at 100th anniversary

Thu, Dec 31 2015

BMW celebrates its 100th birthday in 2016, and the brand might mark the occasion by showing a concept with a nearly production-ready autonomous system, according to Autocar. Company sales and marketing boss Ian Robertson hinted that the automaker could be close to introducing the next-gen tech. "We've reached the 'feet off' phase of autonomy, and now we're in the 'hands off' and 'eyes off' phase, but only for brief periods," Robertson told Autocar. He thinks fully autonomous driving could be possible in 15 years because the company needs to work out how to make it safe. In addition to talking about autonomous tech, Robertson said the company's March 7th centenary would focus the future. "There will be some products we will share," he told Autocar. "Maybe what I've been alluding to will be the direction of that." BMW has tested autonomous technology for years and already impressively showed an M235i that could drift by itself. An i3 (pictured above) was even able to park without driver assistance in a multi-story garage at CES last year. Recent rumors about Google's piloted ridesharing service suggest this could be the perfect time for the German automaker to take the next step. BMW's bigger challenge could be determining how much autonomous ability to give drivers. Tesla might soon reduce features from its Autopilot system because a few owners aren't responsible enough to use the tech safely. California also proposed regulations that could limit the capabilities of driverless vehicles. Related Video:

BMW NA chief: US won't get enough i3 EVs to satisfy demand

Mon, Jan 27 2014

Nothing boosts the mystique of a new product like a "sold out" sign, and it appears likely that BMW will go that route with its first plug-in sold in the US. The German automaker won't likely import enough of its new i3 plug-in vehicles to meet US demand, Bloomberg News says, citing BMW North America chief Ludwig Willisch. Willisch added that once everything is up and running, the US will be the world's largest market for the i sub-brand of plug-in vehicles, which we know will also include the far racier i8 plug-in hybrid and likely other models as well. The i3 will arrive at US dealerships by the end of May and US dealers are investing $2.5 million in upgrades in part to accommodate the new i sub-brand. Last summer, BMW said its i3 would have a starting price of $41,350, not factoring in government tax credits nor the gas-powered range extender (which tacks on another $3,950). Both versions will be allowed into the high-occupancy-vehicle lanes, even with only one driver, in California though battery-powered version will get the unlimited white sticker (as opposed to limited green one). Check out our review of the i3 here.
