2003 Bmw X5 4.4i Lujo Sport Utility 4-door 4.4l Awd on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States

Up for sale we have a "special" BMW that was customized for one our customers...The BMW was tinkered with to better cope with 120+ degree Arizona desert weather, it was made for an avid desert photographer/trekker. An unfortunate accident is forcing the customer to sell the vehicle, so here it is. Extremely nice BMW X5 with the 4.4l engine with only 109K miles on it (Bullet Proof M62) and the AWD Option! This is by far the fastest, toughest urban SUV available. The X5 has the metallic Grey exterior paint on Black Napa leather interior. It has every option other than Navigation. It has the AWD (4x4) + Cold Weather Package, which includes heated seats and heated steering wheel. Power seats, doors, windows, rear seats adjustment and sunroof/moonroof... This version also has the Xenon headlights. Interior is flawless for the year, no stains or rips in the leather. The carpet has no stains and it has never been smoked in. It comes with the heavy duty all weather OEM BMW rubber mats and rear compartment cover. All the electrical + electronics work. Engine starts at first key and has awesome power, transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. The following items have been added/customized for this BMW: AC has just been serviced and is ice cold, we have also replaced the Auxiliary BEHR (plastic) Fan with a custom high power unit. The custom fan has a custom thermoswitch that will turn it on even after the vehicle is shut off. The fan will come on and off to keep the engine compartment cool - even while the car is off. It was requested by the customer for the many stop - and - go in the desert sun while taking nature photographs...It will make th AC extremely cold! Brand New Valve Cover (L & R) gasket set replacement, Brand New Tires with toe out offset, Brand new heavy duty Rotors and metallic brakes, Brand New COMPLETE HEAVY DUTY Rack and Pinion Unit, Brand new axles, Brand New Bushings and control/link arms, heavy duty water pump, always Mobil 1 Synthetic changes + Moly Molybdenum treatment, and the 2014 transmission software flash for more torque and pickup...This is not the best X5 available out there, but its a very nice SUV and very well taken care of! The body is straight with no paint fading or dents/dings. The front XENON headlights have the usual AZ sun fading on the plastic (on the inside of the lens only - the outside, has been buffed out). The BMW comes with all the original books and owner manuals and one key/FOB. It comes with a CLEAN and Clear AZ title, Emission Test valid for 1 year and registration, no liens and no surprises. Due to the Custom Auxiliary fan, the SES light will come on every 15 key cycles. The light is on due to the Auxiliary fan (original) not communicating with the ZKT module - basically the original fan is no longer there and is not plugged in. The SES light does not affect drive-ability or performance in any way. I will contact the owner to see if he still has the original fan...if he does it will be included with the sale. Unlike other BMW's this one only has some bad pixels on the heating/cooling control unit, all other pixels are perfect I just want to disclose it - so the buyer will know its there. Again, if you expect a brand new, dealer level X5 - this may not be for you. This is a used 2003 BMW X5 that is ready to go for another 100K miles! Like any used vehicle - it is being sold as is and where is, with no written or implied warranty or guarantee. I expect a non-refundable $300.00 PayPal deposit at the end of the auction. The balance to be paid within 72hrs in the form of cash or cashier's check. The buyer is responsible for vehicle transport or pickup. You may also fly into Phoenix and pick up the vehicle - it has current registration and tags. Miles will be slightly higher as I drive this daily...I like it!

Ruby celebrates 90 years of BMW Motorrad with special helmet collection
Fri, 25 Oct 2013BMW isn't the only one celebrating its own 90th anniversary building motorbikes. So is Atelier Ruby, that French manufacturer of jewel-like motorcycle helmets.
Ruby has just released a capsule collection of helmets marking BMW Motorrad's 90th anniversary, and we want them almost as much as a Bimmer bike itself. The Munich 90 collection includes three new designs available in three helmet styles, including the signature blue and red stripes on a white background worn by BMWs of two wheels or four on the racing circuit.
Of course, these helmets, being made by Ruby as they are, won't come cheap, with jaw-dropping prices ranging from $980 to $1,450. Of course there are more cost-effective ways to protect your noggin, but few more stylish.
When Android Automotive goes in the dash, Google wins — and automakers lose data
Tue, May 22 2018You've gotta hand it to Google for the way the Silicon Valley tech giant has made indelible inroads into the car on multiple fronts. The most obvious is with its pioneering self-driving car technology that's caused car companies to get their act together on autonomous vehicles — and also collaborate with Google. Google has more directly extended its influence and data-mining capabilities into the car with its Android Auto smartphone-projection platform that most major automakers have adopted along with Apple's CarPlay. And now it's preparing to dig even deeper into dashboards by deploying its open-source operating system, Android Automotive, beginning with Audi and Volvo. Volvo recently announced that its next-generation Sensus infotainment system will run Android Automotive as an OS and include Google's Play Store for cloud-based content, Maps for navigation and Google Assistant for voice recognition, which can even command a car's climate control. By embedding Google in the dash, Volvo says owners will get an improved connected experience. "Bringing Google services into Volvo cars will accelerate innovation in connectivity and boost our development in applications and connected services," Volvo senior vice president of R&D Henrik Green said in a statement. "Soon, Volvo drivers will have direct access to thousands of in-car apps that make daily life easier and the connected in-car experience more enjoyable." Having Android Automotive onboard could benefit drivers — and provide a big win for Google, since it opens a deep and lucrative new data-mining vein for the company. But it's a wave of a white flag for car companies when it comes to delivering their own cloud-based content and services. It also represents a massive data giveaway and, for Audi, a reversal of earlier reservations about letting Google get too much access to car data. Not long after Android Auto and Apple CarPlay were introduced in 2014 and most automakers eagerly embraced the technologies, several German automakers second-guessed their decision when they realized what was at stake: data. At a conference in Berlin in 2015, Audi CEO Rupert Stadler said car owners "want to be in control of their data, and not subject to monitoring." A few months earlier, Stadler stated that "the data that we collect is our data and not Google's.
Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Awards honors GM Super Cruise, BMW i3
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Our friends at Popular Mechanics have announced the winners of their 2013 Breakthrough Awards, which honor innovations and new technologies in a variety of fields, ranging from medicine to electronics to space travel. Among the winners were a pair of automakers.
The BMW i3 was named one of PM's product breakthroughs, and while the diminutive city car has a range comparable to other electrics, Popular Mechanics was impressed the i3's use of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, which allows the i3 to tip the scales at just 2,800 pounds. But the i3's space-age materials wouldn't have been such a smash if it were priced beyond what the general public could afford. BMW's ability to offer a vehicle with such an advanced construction for around $42,000 (nearly half the price of the Cadillac ELR and only about $7,000 more than a Chevrolet Volt or Ford Focus Electric) is wildly impressive and speaks volumes about the future of ultra-light composites in the auto industry.
The other big winner comes from General Motors, which was named an Innovator this year for its semi-autonomous Super Cruise technology that's currently being tested on a Cadillac SRX. The technology, which we've reported on before, combines adaptive cruise control and lane centering into a super system that will allow hands-free driving under certain conditions.
