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). |

Mercedes could make EV batteries with Audi, BMW
Mon, Sep 21 2015It's not a big leap from digital maps to batteries, it turns out.The head of Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler said recently that he envisions his company working together with German automotive competitors BMW and Volkswagen to further accelerate electric-vehicle battery technology. The three automakers recently worked together to enhance their in-car maps systems. Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche talked about "commonalities" between automakers, not the least of which is the need for all of them to achieve increasingly stringent fuel-economy requirements in the European Union, at the Frankfurt Auto Show last week, according to Reuters. While these companies have made their own inroads as far as plug-in vehicles go, they are all behind the Renault-Nissan Alliance when it comes to public deployment of electric vehicles. This summer, Daimler, Audi and BMW hooked up to acquire the Nokia Here digital-mapping service for about $2.8 billion. The triad of automakers beat out companies such as Apple and Uber to buy the entity, which was founded in 1986 as Navteq. Nokia bought the company in 2007. The acquisition makes sense as the automakers work on improving their products with features like cloud-based data to warn drivers of icy roads and traffic jams. The technology will likely also eventually be used in autonomous vehicles. Automakers working together for a common goal of improved technology is nothing new, of course. General Motors and Honda agreed in 2013 to work together to accelerate hydrogen fuel-cell drivetrain development. Earlier that same year, Daimler said it would work with Ford and Nissan in a separate collaboration to speed up the development of hydrogen fuel-cell technology. Related Video:
BMW offering glitch fix for i3 with range extender
Thu, Mar 12 2015The BMW i3 has received quite a bit of acclaim since its release, with the electric powertrain grabbing a spot on Ward's 10 Best Engines list and the high-tech machine earning the nod as 2015 Green Car of the Year. However, Consumer Reports uncovered a vexing problem with the range-extended version of the hatchback that has plagued it until a recent software update. While CR was driving the range-extended i3 last year, it discovered that when the internal combustion engine was running during low states of charge, hard acceleration could suddenly cut back with no warning to the driver. This was especially problematic when passing. BMW knew about the issue and promised a software update in the spring. That improvement is now available. BMW spokesperson David Buchko tells Autoblog that the software update adds a percent-of-charge indicator to all models of the i3 to let drivers know just how much juice is left. For the range-extended model, it also provides a warning of possible power reduction when the charge reaches two percent. According to Consumer Reports, the revision lets the car anticipate needing more reserve power based on the topography from the navigation system, as well. For any i3 drivers who want the upgrade, they need to visit a dealer for installation, according to Buchko, but it should be come at no cost to owners. Related Video:
