|
Loaded with every feature available on the E53-M62 BMW X.5 4.4i for 2003 including front and rear heated leather seats - with the exception of the towing package. This SUV is being sold as is - it has no known wreck history but needs repairs. It was drivable until two weeks ago (May 2014) when the front axel broke. Towed to BMW dealer who removed front axel. To be drivable front axel needs to be replaced - cost between $500 - 1200 dep upon aftermarket axel or OEM. Front driver window motor needs to be replaced with door switch. BMW also recommended the following repairs but said it is drivable without: Both rear upper control arms due for replacement. LR differential out put shaft seal is leaking very slightly. Power steering suction hose leaking at resevoir.Thrust bindings are tearing. Crankcase vent sys failed a year ago. Auxillary fan switch leaking.Valve cover leaking oil slightly.There are several dents in the right rear passenger door where kid on bike ran into car when parked.Two tears in privacy tint.Car has new tires as of May 2014 - few radio and dash led pixels burned out. Otherwise, until the axel broke the car drove wonderfully. It needs a good detail as we used it for gardening. If you have the knowledge to do the repairs yourself this car could be in perfect condition for around $1800 to $2500 in parts (rough estimate). With a good interior detail and a buff and shine it is one of the best looking cars on the road. Recently had brakes replaced, new battery, new self-leveling sys on rear, new driver door lock and mechanism, new rear lift hatch new All Season tires in April 2014. You can come by and see car, start it and hear engine run but until axel replaced it will not drive. Purchaser will need to arrange to have car towed or shipped within ten days of purchase. We are willing to assist in coordination of tow or ship but buyer pays 100% of all cost. Have bmw printout of repair needs for serious buyer. All repair items from BMW dealer listed above. Again the car is offered as is. |

BMW bringing 9 Series concept to Beijing
Tue, 08 Apr 2014It appears that BMW is ready to take another step upmarket with a new concept flagship luxury sedan at the Beijing Motor Show at the end of April. The showcar is said to preview the company's rumored 9 Series, a sedan that would be positioned against top trims of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, like the rumored S600 Maybach.
According to Automotive News Europe, the concept sedan wears styling language adapted from the curvaceous BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe (pictured above) shown at the 2013 Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance in May. It rides on BMW's new, modular platform - codenamed G11 - for the company's largest cars, an architecture also expected to be shared with the next 7 Series and future Rolls-Royce vehicles. It's rumored to bring the weight of the 7 closer to the 5 Series, which would be several hundred pounds lighter when comparing the base models of both current vehicles. We spotted the next-gen 7 Series testing over a year ago, and both it and the 9 Series are expected to go on sale in 2016.
Unfortunately, at the moment there is no official information about the concept. "We don't have any official news yet on anything in Beijing," Julian Arguelles, BMW USA spokesperson, tells Autoblog. However, it's heartening to think that BMW might be adapting the gorgeous shape of the Gran Lusso for production.
Researchers halfway to cutting carbon fiber costs by 90%
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Carbon fiber has been utilized for decades to build racecars, as a means to cut weight while maintaining strength. But until recently, the space-age material has been largely absent from the street on anything but supercars because of the expense to use it. Recently, BMW signaled a major shift in that trend when it starting using carbon fiber reinforced plastic panels on the i3 and i8. This relatively small scale start might be just the beginning; the German company believes that a breakthrough to inexpensively manufacture the lightweight stuff is just on the horizon.
MAI Carbon Cluster Management GmbH counts BMW, Audi, Airbus, the German government and many other organizations as supporters, and it's researching how to make carbon fiber cheaper to produce, according to Automotive News Europe. The company thinks it can reduce costs by 90 percent in the near future. "We've certainly reached a halfway point on our cost-cutting target for suitable carbon-fiber parts," said project head Klaus Drechsler to Automotive News Europe.
Unfortunately, it isn't entirely clear just what MAI Carbon is doing to make such a huge leap possible. However, a recent post on the company's website talks about a new form a carbon fiber using a thermoplastic matrix that could be cured in less than three minutes. That's compared to about 90 minutes in the traditional process with an autoclave.
2014 BMW 2 Series earns IIHS Top Safety Pick+ [w/video]
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has just certified its latest Top Safety Pick+, honoring the all-new BMW 2 Series with the coveted rating.
IIHS cited the 2 Series' crash test ratings, which were rated as "Good" in the small overlap, moderate overlap, side and rollover. In the tricky small overlap test, the crash test dummy was at a "low risk of any significant injury."
The Institute was also complimentary of the 2 Series' head restraint system and its collision prevention system, including forward collision warning and City Braking.
