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.

2014 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo [w/video]

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

BMW Gets Much Closer To The GT Look And Feel It Seeks
The 2014 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo is being launched to a pretty cynical automotive press brigade. You know it. We know it. Heck, even BMW knows it. We've just returned from driving it on the rather unforgiving and sometimes nasty roads of Sicily, and even before we got behind the wheel, many of our media colleagues were busying themselves doubting the 3 GT's very raison d'être. So, despite the always excellent Sicilian hospitality, the day's atmosphere was kind of fragile.
While the press in attendance seemed determined to nail every product expert to the wall for having been even tangentially associated with the larger 5 Series Gran Turismo, it seemed that BMW decided ahead of time to not introduce such a sensitive discussion topic. That strategy would do little to smooth things over as everyone started digging for dirt on BMW's so far clumsy Gran Turismo franchise.

BMW joins the early holiday advertising fray with three new ads

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

October 31 is no longer known as Halloween, or All Saints' Eve or even as that day when all children simultaneously develop huge cavities. It's now known as the day before Christmas/holiday advertising begins. Seriously, as of November 1, it seems like companies across the country and from every industry have declared open season on holiday ad campaigns. It's all premature enough that we're already feeling our inner Grinch showing, but at least some of the ads are better done than others.
Among them are new spots from BMW, which has arrived with this mini-campaign of three 30-second, Christmas-themed spots. There's a cameo from Santa Claus, who's at the helm of a sleek M6 Gran Coupe in one spot, while a 3 Series Gran Coupe slices through a slalom of Christmas trees in another. The final spot, called "Road Home", doesn't focus so much on the brand's "Ultimate Driving Machines," as it does the trip home for the holidays.
We've embedded all three videos below, so take a look and then let us know what you think of this seemingly perpetual holiday marketing calendar creep - and the BMW ads in particular - in Comments.

Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche adds third 919 Hybrid for Le Mans, Audi to heat factory with geothermal

Wed, Nov 26 2014

Porsche will be running a third 919 Hybrid LMP1 car in the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. The extra Porsche will race in the six-hour May 2 WEC race at Spa-Francorchamps as a lead-up to the legendary 24-hour race on June 13 and 14. Porsche hasn't announced the driver lineup for the third 919 Hybrid, but drivers will remain the same for the other two cars. Including the third car is meant to help further test performance and efficiency as part of development for future hybrid systems. Read more at Green Car Congress. BMW i Ventures is investing in Zendrive, a driving focused data and analytics company. The cooperation of the two companies is meant to help advance safety and efficiency by making the "in-car mobility experience even smoother by optimizing commuting and driving patterns," according to BMW i's Ulrich Quay. The venture capital arm of BMW's i brand also invests in JustPark, Chargepoint, Life360, Chargemaster and MyCityWay, and says it will have more strategic investment announcements in the coming months. Read more in the press release below. The Audi Hungaria factory in Gyor, Hungary will soon be getting geothermal energy from a nearby plant being constructed in Per. When the facility is finished, Audi expects to source 82,000 megawatt hours of geothermal energy per year from it, or about six percent of its total heating needs. The clean energy helps Audi move "step by step along a path to developing a CO2-neutral production plant," says Audi's Dr. Hubert Waltl. "The mobility of the future must be CO2-neutral – and that applies not only to the use of our vehicles, but also to their production." Read more in the press release below. Supporters have begun a petition drive for the passage of an E15 ordinance in Chicago. Despite pushback from oil companies, the city council is close to passing the "Chicago Clean Air Choice Ordinance," which includes the requirement by retailers to sell the 15-percent ethanol gasoline blend in the city. The ordinance includes an exception for stations selling less than 850,000 gallons of fuel per year. More than 4,000 people have signed the petition so far, with others leaving messages to voice their opinion on the matter in opposition to Big Oil's attempt to block it. Read more at Domestic Fuel.
