Immaculate Arizona M5 with low miles and pretty much every option available, 2 owners and clean autocheck scoring in above-average condition, zero accidents. I'll attempt to go over the car as thoroughly as possible, but please do not hesitate to ask any questions or come check out the car in person, it's located about an hour West of Chicago in Saint Charles, IL. One of the most important features about this M5 is the completely transferable free maintenance package that pays for all scheduled maintenance- including oil changes- all the way to 100,000 miles at BMW dealerships. It was last serviced at Patrick BMW in Schaumburg, IL. And it's INCLUDED with the sale.
Exterior:
Rare Alpine white in very nearly mint condition. The paint is very, very shiny no fading whatsoever and in immaculate condition and also has a full front 3M clear bra. I've documented the two known blemishes at the bottom of the photos. One is behind the right rear wheel, the second is on the right front fender near the side mirror. In very, very good condition. Zero chips or scratches in any of the glass, zero dents or dings anywhere. None. The wheels are also nearly mint, no peeling or fading or chipping or corroding. Two of the wheels actually are mint, the other two have two very minor curb rubs each and I have documented these as well. The tires are all matching (Bridgestone Potenza) and have plenty of tread left. The same goes for pads and rotors front and rear. The rear window and all side windows are also tinted and the tint is in perfect condition. I'm not sure what percent since they were tinted by the previous owner, but, they seem darker than 35%, so I would have to guess 20%.
Interior:
Black on light tan Merino leather with black suede headliner. The leather is flawless with no blemishes whatsoever. And the leather is genuinely everywhere; covering the dash and the doors top to bottom, even the inside of the pockets in the doors are lined with leather. This is one of the best options for the car due to being so supple and it simply wears much, much better than the standard leather that tends to crease and become shiny and over-all just look worn. And it replaces so much of what would normally just be plastic trim. All switchgear and instruments work exactly as they should and show virtually zero wear. You can see in the picture showing the left side steering wheel controls that there is slight wear to the soft rubber coating just below the buttons. Other than that, mint condition.
Mechanical:
There are zero mechanical issues with this car, it has been under warranty it's entire life, therefore it has been regularly inspected. The motor starts, idles, revs and runs exactly as it should. The transmission shifts and behaves exactly as it should, as do all of the SMG settings. The car tracks straight and seems to have a perfect alignment, the tires also show no signs of abnormal wear. The power steering shows no signs of abnormal function and is quiet and responsive. All suspension components and bushings are in perfect working order and the ride is controlled and behaves exactly as it should. All fluids appear to smell and look like they should, and are at proper levels, there appear to be zero leaks anywhere. The brakes behave exactly as they should, though due to not being driven for a couple weeks the rotors show some rust that will go away shortly after being driven again. There are zero malfunction lights anywhere.
Features:
There are MANY features and options on this car, almost every option available. There are obvious features for a car that was some $100k new, so I'll stick to the less obvious ones starting with options; heated steering wheel (also power tilt and telescope), Comfort Access (includes smart key that recognizes when the key is in proximity and allows the doors to be unlocked and the car started without taking the key out of your pocket/bag/purse), soft close automatic doors, power rear sunshade and manual side sunshades, heated rear seats, 'M' multifunction front seats with active width adjustment (adjustable bolsters that respond to steering input and hold you in place during cornering, also adjustable knee support, adjust the seat back and shoulder bolsters separately, power adjustable active headrest, 4-way lumbar support and memory settings for seat position for both seats and mirrors and steering wheel for driver's seat), wood trim, head-up display, SIRIUS satellite radio (needs subscription), iPod and USB adapter located in center console, enhanced premium sound and full Merino leather with alcantara headliner. Totaling over $11,000 in options. Other features include adjustable horsepower, throttle response, transmission response, electronic damping and stability control, limited slip rear differential, rain sensing wipers, automatic headlights, navigation, bluetooth, 6 CD changer, BMW iDrive, sunroof, power folding mirrors, etc.
Overview:
If you're looking for an M5 I don't think you'll find a better one than this, taking into consideration the very nearly mint condition inside and out, the free maintenance package for 60k more miles, the extensive list of options and the rare color. Please let me know if you would like any additional pictures or if you have any questions at all. This car is also for sale locally, the auction may be terminated before the end if it sells locally.
I have experience shipping vehicles nationwide, so let me know if you need assistance with shipping, I would be happy to help. Though the full cost of shipping is at the buyer's expense.
I've done my best to describe the car as accurately as possible, but it is still a used car being sold AS-IS without any warranty so please ask any questions you may have before bidding or buying-it-now. Thank you!

Tesla, BMW and Nissan meeting in secret to discuss charging tech
Tue, Jun 17 2014It's interesting what's happening in the electric vehicle field. It used to be that BMW and Tesla were competitors. Then – and of course they're still competing, especially in the public mind – they were working together on ... something. Maybe. And now, the Financial Times reports that the two luxury automakers are meeting with Nissan. Again, maybe. The scuttlebutt is that the three companies are interested in working together on something to do with charging electric vehicles, potentially a global recharging standard. Currently, when it comes to fast charging, BMW uses the SAE Combo standard, Nissan uses CHAdeMO and Tesla uses its own Superchargers. The meeting was prompted by Tesla opening of all of its patents the other day, FT says. Speaking during the recent annual shareholder meeting, Musk said he was "more than happy to have other manufacturers" use Tesla's Superchargers but that, "there is no other electric car that can accept anything close to 135 kilowatts." Let's assume the technical hurdle can be overcome. With any potential patent/licensing problems out of the way, these discussions with BMW and Nissan might be revolving around this other angle that Musk mentioned: "They (other automakers) just have to contribute to the capital cost, so figure out what percentage of the time are their cars using the Supercharger network and then they can make a contribution proportionate to their customer usage of the Supercharger network." That certainly sounds like something that could take some time to figure out.

Permanent erection lawsuit against BMW thrown out
Wed, 19 Mar 2014The California man who claimed that he suffered from a 20-month erection after a four-hour ride on his BMW K1100RS motorcycle (similar model pictured above) has had his case dismissed. It seems the court found his claims too hard to believe.
Henry Wolf filed a product liability lawsuit against BMW and seatmaker Corbin-Pacific in the California Superior Court in April 2012 after he claimed a motorcycle ride in September 2010 caused a long-term case of priapism from the "ridge-like" saddle design. He asked for compensation for lost wages, medical expenses and emotional distress from both companies.
Nearly two years later, according to Visor Down, Judge James J. McBride decided that the case didn't have enough supporting evidence. A urologist testified that the plaintiff had priapism, but the court rejected the testimony of a neurologist who claimed the motorcycle's vibration caused the disorder. The defendants presented testimony from the bike's former and subsequent owners. Corbin-Pacific CEO Mike Corbin also spoke in the company's defense.
BMW stripes up X6 M Design Edition
Tue, 24 Sep 2013There's something that makes red, dark blue and light blue stripes running up the fenders and down the flanks of a white car just that much more eye-catching. Whether it's a Martini Racing liveried racecar or something from the BMW skunkworks, they just draw long looks nothing else can. And here's the latest.
The BMW X6 M Design Edition upgrades on the standard X6 M with such special touches as 21-inch alloys, a carbon front splitter and rear splitter, black grilles and diffusor, and of course, those iconic racing stripes, which come as an option on this model.
The interior has been done up in black leather with Mugello red accents and piano black trim. Only 100 individually-numbered examples will be offered, and given that this one's wearing German plates, we doubt there's much chance many (if any) will make it Stateside. But then again, you could always spec up your own X6 M with most if not all of the same trim and forgo the little number plate on the dashboard.
