2003 Bmw X5 Sport - 4.4l on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
2003 BMW X5 4.4L Sport Model. It is Black on Black (Leather) and it is
in extremely great shape as you can see from the pictures. It has the
4.4L V8 engine with ample power to move this car at a very brisk pace. In comparison to the 3.0, fuel consumption is marginally more - but you
can't get enough of the power.
It comes with heated front seats, Wide Navigation Screen with an Updated MK4 Navigation that provides 3D / Perspective Map images. It also has a 6-Disc CD Changer as well as Parking Assist Sensors, Active Hill Descent, and even rear reclining electric seats. The car comes with rear window privacy shades as well. It is equipped with self-leveling BMW Xenon Headlights and 19' Allow wheels with nearly new tires on them. It also comes with a Full-Size Spare tire. The Steering wheel has been upgraded to a newer more modern ///M-Sport Wheel from an M5. Other features are automatic windows in all fours doors, power folding mirrors and power Moon / Sunroof. I recently replaced the passenger side window regulator and the navigation screen on the car. The car also had New Catalytic Converters installed early this year - around March, 2013. NEW STARTER - 10/30/2013: Replaced the starter with an OEM New / Rebuilt Unit as well as replaced the Support Brace with new OEM Bolts and Nuts. NEW BRAKES - 11/7/2013: New brakes were installed on the car with a Brake Fluid / Flush as well. Zimmerman Coated Rotos + Akebono Euro Pads + New Brake Pad Wear Sensors from BMW (OEM). NEW LOWER CHAIN TENSIONER - 11/16/2013: I replaced the Lower Chain Tensioner as a preventative measure to prolong the life of the timing chain guides. This was replaced with a BMW OEM unit. NEW OEM Hitch Kit - 11/20/2013: I just had a brand new OEM Hitch Kit installed on the car. These are very tough to find these days as BMW is out of stock. This is not an aftermarket kit, it is the Westfalia Kit made specifically for this car and giving it a towing capacity of 6000 Ibs Plus. I can provide the dealer receipts / invoices. I am the 4th owner, and the prior owners to me maintained the car meticulously. It was a rare find indeed. One of the previous owners was a BMW Technician and ensured the car was serviced regularly and any issues were taken care of promptly. I have a stack of receipts / records I can show you upon inspection. I have all the Owner's Manuals and records for the car from new. Even have the original dealer key tag - go figure. Everything works great on this car and it drives beautifully. Whether you are going antique shopping, taking a long trip, or towing your Camper.... - this car is ideal. It seats five adults very comfortably. The car currently has 127,000 miles on it but it is still being driven. As I said, it runs impeccably with no issues to mention. Also registration is paid up till September of 2014. PLEASE NOTE: The car is also being offered for sale elsewhere which may result in an early end to this auction. TRADES: I will consider trades depending on the offer. |

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India
Wed, Dec 2 2015Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.

BMW Vision Gran Turismo takes M235i Racing to the virtual extreme [w/videos]
Wed, 14 May 2014Late last year, Mercedes-AMG worked up a concept car called the Vision Gran Turismo. It presented it at the Los Angeles Auto Show, but that wasn't the point: the point was that it would feature in Gran Turismo 6 on the PlayStation 3. It wasn't the first concept created specifically for the popular driving simulator - following similar projects by Citroën and Red Bull Racing - and as we reported just a month later, it wouldn't be the last. What we have here is the next.
Looking like an even more extreme version of the M235i Racing, the BMW Vision Gran Turismo concept builds on "the tradition of the successful BMW touring cars of the 1970s" in a heart-pumping, if unfortunately strictly virtual form. It's got more extreme aero than the aforementioned M235i Racing and a striking take on the M division's signature light blue, dark blue and red stripe over white livery.
Underneath the digital bonnet sits the same 3.0-liter inline six as the M235i, but pumping out a prodigious (if theoretical) 549 horsepower - far more than the 333 hp in the actual Racing version or the 320 hp in the roadgoing model. Of course BMW has given it an ideal 50:50 front-rear weight distribution and a curb weight of 2,600 lbs - nearly a thousand pounds less than the roadgoing M235i.
Best sport sedans for 2022 and 2023
Thu, Nov 11 2021SUVs dominate the car industry at every size and price level, but some people still prefer the looks, and more importantly, the performance and comfort, of the traditional sedan. With a lower ride height, lighter weight and generally smaller size, they often are much more fun to drive, and can even be more comfortable. Sport sedans of course lean harder on the performance side of things, and are among the best options for sheer speed and fun, thanks to those inherent characteristics. We've rounded up the ones in the segment that do the sporty dance better than any others in 2024 to give you a handy guide when you're shopping for one of your own. You'll find a wide array of cars here including gas, electric and hybrid powertrains. They'll have manual and automatic transmissions and drive the front, rear or all four wheels. Technically a few hatchbacks have slipped in, but they're close enough in look and feel that we wanted to include them. And excluding them means you might miss out on some of the best-driving options available. You wouldn't want that, would you? Alfa Romeo Giulia Why it stands out: Punchy four-cylinder; astounding power from Quadrifoglio; light and nimble character; awesome shift paddlesCould be better: Clunky infotainment; sub-par switchgear Read our Alfa Romeo Giulia review We start this list with one of the most predictable inclusions: the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Yes, it's a stereotype that the Italian sport sedan is fun to drive, but the fact is, well, it is. The Giulia comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 280 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful four-cylinders in the segment. It's paired with a snappy and smooth eight-speed transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The engine is lively and torquey, if a little short of revs, and the chassis feels super-light. The steering is eager and the car jumps into corners. We also highly recommend getting a version with the enormous and superb aluminum paddle shifters that make clicking through gears much more entertaining. And on the topic of the interior, it's attractive, but the various switches and knobs feels a little cheap, and the infotainment system is clunky. Of course there's also the incredible Giulia Quadrifoglio at the high end. It gets a Ferrari-derived twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 making 505 hp, and it's rear-wheel drive only.
