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!

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India
Wed, Dec 2 2015Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.

BMW ready to bring more i3, i8 plug-ins to US
Thu, Oct 9 2014BMW has found a receptive audience for its first batches of plug-in vehicles in the good 'ole USA. The German automaker, which started selling its first mass-produced i plug-ins in Europe late last year, will send a higher percentage of those vehicles to the US because of strong demand here, according to Automotive News, which talked with BMW executive Ian Robertson. And the Americans might cause Bimmer to speed up production, to boot. BMW makes the i3 electric vehicle and i8 plug-in hybrid in Germany, and has sold about 10,000 units of the former and 280 of the latter worldwide. Since August, BMW has been selling about 1,000 i3s a month in the US (it sold just 58 i8s in September). The bigger story, though, may be that Bimmer has sold out of its US allocation of i8s through the end of next year. Pretty heady stuff for a car that starts at around $137,000. Currently, BMW builds around 100 i-series vehicles a day in Germany, and may speed up production of the i8 for the aforementioned reason. As for the i3, which comes with an option of a gas-powered range extender, we'd reported earlier this year that the waitlist for that model had grown to about six months. Our i3 First Drive report is here if you'd like to know what all the fuss is about.
2015 BMW i8 configurator is ready to show the future
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Good news if you're one of the lucky few that can afford the new BMW i8. The high-performance hybrid's configurator has gone live on BMW USA's consumer website, meaning you can head in and customize till you drop.
If you've ever played with a BMW configurator, you'll instantly feel at home with the i8's. You have the choice of four trim packages (your author refuses to use BMW's pretentious "World" trim names), followed by wheel and exterior paint options. The interior choices are fixed to the trim level, so aside from trim, color and the choice of two wheel options, there isn't a lot to pick out on the i8.
Head on over and take a look.
