2002 Bmw X5 3.0i Sport Utility 4-door 3.0l Premium, Nav, Heated Seats, Clean on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
|
One owner (leased and then purchased), California car, Well maintained throughout its life.
This is one car that just would not die --- My wife took it from new to 160K miles and just got tired of this car. Purchased a new X5 in 2011. Kept it as 3rd car, but I just got a new BMW too, so this became a 4th car that we no longer need. The car has original engine and transmission and never had trouble in both. Car takes about 1 quart oil in between oil changes (always have used synthetic) that BMW service indicator tells -- usually around 10K~12K miles. The automatic transmission shifts no different than when it was new -- no gear shifting up or down issues. Always passed California Smog test with no issues. New Continental all-season tires with around 4000 miles on them. Always maintained properly and used OEM replacement parts by my mechanic. Recent (3 yrs) major repair/maintenance noted below. It should be self-evident that this car has been well maintained/repaired promptly. 2014-02 (191K miles) New Tires, Heater/AC blower motor resistor replaced. Oxygen Sensor replaced. 2013-12 (189K miles) Fuel gauge sending unit replaced. Front-end Tension Strut, ball-joints, etc, replaced (about time/miles to do this). 2011-01 (176K miles) Radiator reserve tank replaced. Washer pump replaced. Battery replaced. 2011-01 (176K miles) Transfer Case Assembly ("drive train") replaced w/ new OEM parts (over $4K - only major mechanical repair) 2010-04 (155K miles) New brake pad, rotors, etc. Note: All four power window failed (not motors, but plastic mechanical parts, a common problem, and has been all repaired/replaced -1st one around 50K miles, and last one around 130K miles). Now for the condition of the car. All the functions, every indicator lamp, control, etc, work on this car -- every flaw that is known to me is listed below (after the options). The paint is in just amazing shape -- the car was NOT waxed before pictures were taken -- the shine indicates the original clear-coat (over metallic green-grey color) still in great shape and not oxidized. AC/Heat works really well -- no different since new. Spare tire is full size, all OEM included tools intact (never used), Two key/remotes (one well used but fully functional and one like-new), one service key plus a plastic key, and owners manual in the glove compartment. Bluetooth hands-free (Motorola T505 aftermarket) will be included and left in the car. This car has full option (premium, cold-weather, etc), minus sports package. That means, - Navigation (factory, and western USA map included) - Leather and wood trim. - Rear privacy tinted (factory) windows, and window shade (factory) - Rear seat, split 60/40 and power reclining on each part. - Heated Seats (two front) and six way power seats, and head-lamp power washer jets - HID head lamps. And the standard features for BMW X5 2002 could be had through searching internet. Cars.com has a good summary, but there are others. List of Flaws - Paint scrapes on front bumper -- both sides (pictured) - Center armrest -- odd but only this armrest leather surface is visibly worn. - Center armrest -- there are two storage area, main, and "cell phone" area. the latch open for the "cell phone" area is stuck open -- and is held by removable putty -- thought about just super-gluing this latch shut but did not. You could. - Small tear on door panel (pictured) - One of the park-distance sensor on the rear bumper is held (completely secure and tight, but...) by wire (pictured) - A few visible "parking lot" dings - no damage to paint but visible. - Navigation LCD screen has developed display "dead" region on lower right side, about and less than 0.5" by 1" area (pictured) at about 130K miles. Further expansion of this LCD screen "dead" area has not expanded in recent years. - Back of the driver's seat "magazine"pocket is a bit stretched out (pictured). The other magazine pocket is not. - Trunk mounted 6 CD changer removable cartridge has a stuck CD -- probably repairable but not functional, but sold AS-IS. - Car had low-speed accident w/ damage to the rear at around 30K miles -- bumper and rear panels replaced/repaired by new parts. - The trunk/rear window is not original OEM -- was broken into at around 160K miles, and replaced with non OEM glass (i.e. same part and spec, but no BMW logo found on this glass, BTW, rear defroster works fine as expected). Note: Turtle sticker on the trunk window is on the outside and removable by peeling it off. Note: Noticed that the Autocheck reports 1st accident (low speed rear damage) correctly, but 2nd accident listed for 2014-04 is in error. There was no incident/accident on this car (my wife's X5 -2011 model did have a minor accident at that time under the same insurance company). |

Audi leading rival BMW in worldwide luxury sales race
Tue, 11 Mar 2014If you thought competition among the German luxury automakers was hot before, it looks like things are just getting started. For the first two months of the year, Audi has sold more cars than BMW worldwide by just 383 cars.
Audi claims to have sold 242,400 vehicles through February, up 9.3 percent from last year, compared to 242,017 units from BMW, up 8.9 percent, in the same period. While the advantage is tiny, its implications could be huge because Bimmer has been the leader in the premium car segment for the last nine consecutive years. Mercedes-Benz lags behind them somewhat at 229,630 vehicles through February. According to Bloomberg, at this time last year Audi had sold 429 fewer cars than BMW.
The growth is all part of Volkswagen Group's goal to become the world's largest automaker. It currently ranks in second when its heavy truck businesses are considered. The German automotive giant also wants to be the world's leading premium carmaker. "Competition in the premium segment is more intense than ever," said Audi CEO Rupert Stadler to Bloomberg.
Buy this Munro report, get a free BMW i3
Tue, Jan 13 2015Here's an offer we've never heard of: if you buy the Master- or OEM-level version of a detailed production and cost report on the BMW i3, the engineering firm that produced the report will give you a 'free' i3. Munro & Associates is the company behind the study and the offer, its comprehensive breakdown of the production realities involved in the i3 including a video of the disassembly process of the range-extended hybrid and a detailed analysis of every part therein - everything from fuse boxes to crossbar beams, headlights and the battery pack. You've only got a day to take advantage, though - the report has to be purchased by the time CEO Sandy Munro gives his talk, "Deconstructing the BMW I3: Groundbreaking Technology and the Composite Car," in Detroit Wednesday morning. The price of said report? That's "TBD," so head to the Munro site if you're tempted by the idea of a new car that comes with a trunk full of paperwork. We just hope they're not selling the i3 that they tear down. The press release below has more information. Munro to Give Away 2014 BMW i3 with Every Purchase of the Consulting Firm's Master Teardown Report When Purchased at Two Upcoming Detroit Events DETROIT, Jan. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Visitors to the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) during Preview Week often go home with a lot of swag and trinkets, but how about a $50,000 BMW i3? This year, a local engineering firm, Munro & Associates, is giving away a BMW i3 electric car with every purchase of the Master-/OEM-level version of its benchmarking study of this unique vehicle when purchased during NAIAS or the Plastics in Automotive Conference. The study, the most extensive of its kind, details the production and costs of every system in this carbon-fiber electric vehicle, which CEO Sandy Munro calls the most advanced vehicle on the planet. WHO: Munro & Associates, the global leader in manufacturing, costing and benchmarking. Using its proprietary advanced design, quality and costing software, Munro developed comprehensive reports on key vehicle systems and – for the first time – will offer the reports for general distribution. WHAT: A FREE 2014 BMW i3 for anyone who purchases the Master-/OEM-level report during Preview Week of NAIAS or during Sandy Munro's presentation at the Plastics in Automotive Conference.
Recharge Wrap-up: Venturi to break electric world record, app shows where bike lanes are needed
Tue, Aug 19 2014Electric automaker Venturi hopes to post a new electric land speed record this week, despite Bonneville Speed Week being cancelled. The VBB-3, developed with Ohio State University, is powered by two 1,500-hp electric motors. If the salt flats are sufficiently dry, the team hopes to set a new electric world speed record of over 600 kilometers per hour (373 mph), and possibly 700 kph (435 mph). The Venturi BB-2.5 set a record of 495 kph (307 mph) in 2010. Read more at Electric Autosport, and keep abreast of Venturi's progress at its Twitter account. A new app is trying to fix Wiesbaden, Germany's bike problem. A bike organization named the city the worst in the world for cycling. In response, a local group developed an app that uses crowdsourced routes to suggest where bike lanes and paths should go. The app tracks users routes as they ride, and maps them to show where the city could benefit from improving its infrastructure. The app and its results have the attention of government officials, too. See the video below, or read more at Fast Company. BMW has delivered the first i8s at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California. The first customers include Roger Penske, Rick Hendrick and Tony Fadell (founder and CEO of Nest). The lucky new owners were also treated to a gourmet meal from Chef Thomas Keller, who was also among those to receive the i8 at the event. As mentioned, BMW also auctioned off a special edition i8 at Pebble Beach for $825,000, considerably more than the car's base MSRP of $135,700. Read more in the press release from BMW, below. Uber's Berlin ban has been suspended by a local court. The city banned the car-hailing app for failing to meet passenger safety standards. The court will now decide whether to uphold the ban or toss it out. This was the second time this year that Uber had been deemed unlawful in Berlin. Uber continued to operate throughout its ban, despite threats of fines. If upheld, Uber could be fined $34,000 for picking up a passenger. Read more at The New York Times.
