This is being relisted. I could not find the title last auction. I now have title in hand, California smog check past with flying colors, and registration go through 2014.

               Up for sale is our 2001 BMW X5 Sport with Navigation. A bit of background. We have owned this SUV about 9 years. My wife drove it until we had our second child and needed something bigger. This is fully loaded with low miles. We serviced regularly and used Mobil 1 synthetic. Within the last year I changed the valve cover gaskets which commonly leak on the X5 and are a pain to change. Also, replaced the plugs with the OEM set from NGK, 2 coils. This is all within 500 miles.  

At 95K miles, transmission rebuilt which is a huge concern with x5s. This is a full rebuild and shifts and runs like new. Within last few 2 years replaced, radiator, water pump, and alternator, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, coils, fuel filter, wiper blades, oil (has < 200 miles on it),  3 new window regulators (except drivers door).

The paint is good and there are no dents, dings or scratches anywhere. The SUV has never been in an accident and comes with a clean car fax. The hood and the roof had the clear coat starting to lift/cloud. We had the hood painted by a bumper repair place about 1 year ago. They did not paint the roof since you can not see it unless you are looking from above. Outside of the roof, the paint is in very good shape.

Interior is excellent with exception of the driver seat. Its fine but leather is cracked on the edge and lower seat back. It was sitting outdoors for some time. Reupholstering would cost about $250 from quotes I received.

This truck has been sitting in our driveway for about 1 year collecting dust. We have not had time to list it as I travel and my wife doesnt like to show it alone. Time to get rid of it.

The only thing that needs to be repaired is the drivers window. It operates fine but if lowered all the way, it gets stuck and needs to be wedged to get to go up. Its not the window motor. It’s a bushing that holds the glass to the regulator. I replaced the same thing on the pass. door a while back. Very easy fix and a DIY job. Parts ~$25. I just don’t have time to take care of it.

 

** NOTE THE WHEELS IN THE PICTURE WERE SOLD. THEY COME WITH THE STOCK 19" WHEELS. SEE PICS FOR CURRENT WHEELS. ALSO AC SCHNITZER PACKAGE ON FRONT INSTALLED. THE REAR I REMOVED

Watch two championship-winning DTM cars from BMW go head-to-head

Mon, 06 May 2013

BMW recently had a little fun with two of the company's past DTM champions. Roberto Ravaglia and Bruno Spengler, winners of the 1989 and 2012 championships, respectively, both showed up at the world-famous Hockenheimring with their title-winning cars. The two swapped seats, with Ravaglia taking the helm of Spengler's BMW M3 DTM racer and Spengler sliding behind the wheel of Ravaglia's first-generation M3 racer in the classic BMW Bank livery, and headed for the track. Spengler got a 23 second head start in the first-gen M3 with Ravaglia chasing behind.
It didn't take long for the older hotshoe to sort out his new ride and close the gap. The short clip below follows the two as they make their way around the circuit, but the really interesting portion comes when the pair begin discussing what they like and don't like about each other's machines. You can check out the full video below for yourself.

2013 Dinan S3 BMW 550i

Thu, 30 May 2013

Steve Dinan has been enhancing BMW models since 1979. But don't throw his company into the ring with the dozen or so other tuners who tweak, tinker and piggyback upgrades on the famed German marque. Dinan is a tuner, but it's also an engineering firm that writes its own software, builds its own parts and then backs everything it does with a factory-grade warranty. That sort of fastidiousness comes at a price, but most of its customers - including the powerhouse of BMW Motorsport - rely on Dinan to help them come out on top.
In stock form, BMW's 550i is a formidable four-door with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 rated at 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. While those figures allow it to run with quick company (0-60 in 5.0 seconds, according to the automaker), Dinan puts the sedan's kettle on full boil with its S3 package. Starting with the engine, the performance engineering firm bolts on larger turbochargers, air-to-water intercoolers, a trick strut tower brace cold air intake, a quad-pipe free flow exhaust and its own engine management software. Pump in some premium fuel, and the result is 542 horsepower and 587 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent through the stock eight-speed automatic to a limited slip rear differential (Dinan will upgrade xDrive all-wheel drive models, too).
The Dinan S3 also features and extensive suspension upgrade that includes new front camber arms and low compliance rear control arms (engineered to reduce understeer and improve turn-in). The stock dampers are retained, but new bump stops are installed along with new springs. Overall, the car rides about a half-inch lower than stock to improve roll rate. To reduce unsprung weight, forged 20-inch HRE Performance wheels are fitted at all four corners (wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires - 275/35ZR20 up front and 295/35ZR20 in the rear). Lastly, the company remaps the factory Electronic Damper Control (EDC) software with its own Dinan Shockware to work in conjunction with the new enhancements.
