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. |

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
A BMW i3 will cost you $100,000 in Brazil
Wed, Oct 1 2014Brazil is a long way from the US, and the price of the BMW i3 in that South American country is even further away from what Americans pay for the same electric vehicle. But that hasn't stopped a few wealthy Brazilians from taking the plunge. The BMW i3 REx – i.e., the one with the gas-powered range-extender – is the first mass-produced vehicle of its kind to be imported to Brazil (there are a few Nissan Leaf vehicles in fleet use), and those intrepid buyers are forking over about $100,000 to own the vehicle, according to Just-Auto. The country's first 100 i3's were recently received in Sao Paolo, and about 30 of them have been sold. That pricetag is a wee bit higher than in the US, where the i3 starts under $42,000. BMW did open a $261-million factory in Brazil this year, but the i3 continues to be produced exclusively in Germany. It's not just fancy new plug-in cars and World Cup tickets that cost a lot in Brazil. The Volkswagen Golf, which retails for less than $18,000 in the States, costs about $23,000 in Brazil and the Economist ran a series of articles last year explaining how currency changes have resulted in the dollar-to-Brazilian real exchange rate surging in recent years.
Husqvarna sold to KTM CEO Stefan Pierer
Fri, 01 Feb 2013A couple of days ago the UK's Motorcycle News reported that BMW was in the final stages of selling Husqvarna to KTM, with a deal potentially confirmed as soon as this week. Following that came reports that Husqvarna Motorcycles wasn't sold to KTM but to a Pierer Industries, the company owned by KTM CEO Stefan Pierer. Turns out the advance report was true, as was the follow-up: BMW has just announced a "strategic realignment" of its Motorrad division, explaining that it sold Husqvarna to Pierer Industries in order to focus on the urban and e-mobility segments. Husqvarna's off-road machines, obviously, don't fit into those categories.
BMW bought the Italian-based bike maker with centuries-old Swedish roots in 2007 - the rest of the Husqvarna company remains based in Sweden - and has invested huge sums to integrate the smaller company into the larger parent. Six years later, just when dividends should begin to truly pay off, the brand is sold.
Before BMW made its announcement, one of the theories that forum members put forward for Pierer's interest in purchasing Husqvarna was that he wants his own business to run his own way. The parent company of KTM, Cross Industries, is 47.27-percent owned by India's Bajaj Automotive, with Pierer the majority shareholder, and is on a quest for global growth, taking the fight to BMW in Europe and launching new bikes and technology into the Indian market. Compared to BMW's and KTM's 2012 sales of around 100,000 bikes each in 2012, Husqvarna sold 10,751 bikes, which was a 15.7-percent increase over the previous year. Pierer would have a lot more freedom in the running of a company of that size.
