2001 BMW X5 in very good condition.  The 5 speed manual transmission makes this SUV drive more like a sports car; It is a sporty driving vehicle.

Service and Maintenance history:

  • 108260 miles on the odometer
  • Loaded with options except for Navigation
  • Rear suspension control arms replaced at 75,000
  • Replaced at 76,000 miles: Engine, Cooling system, All hoses including heater hoses, Clutch, Flywheel, 4 oxygen sensors.
  • New Goodyear Assurance CS tires at 90,000.
  • Radiator fan assembly, Belts, tensioners and Idler pulley at 100,000
  • Front axles and seals replaced at 107,000
  • New Brake pads and rotors less than 10,000 miles ago
  • Just replaced the battery
  • All fluids have been replaced regularly
  • Over $30,000 worth of maintenance including the listed above over the life of the vehicle

The only issue I can find with this X5 is there is a thumping noise from the rear when shifting gears.  This is common on manual transmission BMWs, the rear differential mounts become soft and need replacing at some point in the near future.  I've never seen this issue on automatic transmission BMWs, probably because the auto keeps a constant load on the differential mounts.  The Keyless entry remotes don't work anymore so you have to use the key the old fashion way...in the door lock.

This is a cash only purchase.  There are plenty of banks in this area, so if you have to travel we can always go to your bank to get cash.

This X5 is for sale outside of this auction, I reserve the right to end the auction if it sells else where.

Tesla exec calls rival EVs 'little more than appliances'

Wed, Aug 3 2016

Tesla's Vice President of Business Development Diarmuid O'Connell called the company's competition "little more than appliances" at the Center for Automotive Research's Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI yesterday. "In essence, [mainstream automakers] delivered little more than appliances," O' Connell said. "Now, appliances are useful. But they tend to be white. They tend to be unemotional." According to Automotive News, O'Connell's main critique is that vehicles like the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3 don't deliver enough performance or range to draw the attention of consumers outside of a small group. The solution, in O'Connell's mind, is more power, more range, more excitement and a lower price – that last point is particularly rich coming from an automaker whose cheapest current offering, the Model S 60, costs $66,000 – although the cheaper Model 3 is on the horizon, way out there, somewhere. But some EVs are better than none, O'Connell added. "On balance, I'm happier that [traditional automakers are] doing these cars than not," O'Connell said. "I just wish they would do them better and faster." O'Connell also used his appearance at the Management Briefing Seminars to launch a volley at the Michigan legislature, blaming its opposition to Tesla's direct-sales model for the lack of available EVs in the Wolverine State. "I think if the Michigan Legislature would allow Tesla to sell cars in Michigan, we could probably address [the lack of available electric cars]," O'Connell said. Related Video:

BMW tests M Lap Timer App with M4 Coupe at Brands Hatch

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

The 2015 BMW M4 looks to include all the necessary ingredients to offer dynamite driving experience. It's an M car after all. But in today's constantly connected world, the experience of hurtling a car around a track isn't always enough.
We want data, and while there are some solid telemetry apps available for smartphones (notably Harry's GPS LapTimer), manufacturers have been a bit slower to develop their own dedicated mobile telemetry trackers for their performance cars. With the new M4, though, BMW is taking the plunge, allowing drivers to track their lap progress through a new app, creatively called the M Lap Timer.
To show off the program, BMW has recruited touring car racer Andy Priaulx to perform a fast lap in an M4 at the UK's Brands Hatch circuit. The accompanying video doesn't do much to show off the app in action. Rather, it give us a stylized look at the metrics as Priaulx hustles BMW's hottest 4 Series coupe around the circuit.

BMW considering building 3 Series in North America

Sun, 13 Apr 2014

There might be even more BMWs coming from North America soon. The company recently announced plans to build a flagship crossover called the X7 at its Spartanburg, SC, factory. Now, rumors are emerging that the Bavarians might be thinking about building a second North American factory that could build its quick-selling 3 Series.
According to Bloomberg, the German luxury giant is considering several possible locations for a North American factory, including two in Mexico, that may build the 3. "We will decide this in the next months. On the North American continent, there's still potential," said BMW production boss, Harald Krueger, in an interview meant for company staff obtained by Bloomberg.
If BMW decides to open a plant in Mexico, it would be following its rival Audi, which already announced construction of a factory there. Mercedes-Benz has been rumored to be working on a deal with Nissan to build its cars South of the Border as well. Rumors of Bimmer considering Mexican production have also cropped up in the past, so it wouldn't come as a total surprise to hear it made official.
