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. |

BMW predicts 2 Series Active Tourer will have 75% conquest rate
Wed, 23 Jul 2014In the last few years, BMW has definitively proven that it wasn't a slave to its legacy. In the US, the 3 Series was generally associated with smooth, flat-six engines, but the Bavarian brand dropped a four-cylinder turbo into it. The company was also known for its sports sedans, and it went green with the i3 and i8. Now, rear-wheel drive is off the table as defining its vehicles, as well. With the imminent launch of the 2 Series Active Tourer, the Bavarian's models are going front drive and opening up themselves to a whole new group of customers, so the thinking goes.
"We are expecting the Active Tourer will have a conquest rate of around 75 percent," said Frank Niederlaender, a BMW product manger, to Automotive News Europe. If you're not hip to the lingo, that means three quarters of the hatchback's buyers would come from other brands - an impressive figure, if accurate.
When it hits the road, the 2 Series Active Tourer will be the first BMW-branded vehicle to use the company's UKL front-wheel drive platform, already on the current Mini Cooper. The roomy hatchback is aimed at young families looking for a car that is luxurious but can still tote around the tots. It launches in Europe in September to compete against similar models like the Mercedes-Benz B-Class, but the Bimmer isn't crossing the Atlantic to the US until early 2015, according to ANE.
BMW recalling a grand total of three X3s over instrument panel defect
Wed, 18 Dec 2013We've seen big recalls and we've seen small ones. Some involve millions of vehicles, and some - like the Infiniti Q50 recall on which we reported just the other day - involve just a couple dozen. But this has to be the smallest recall we've seen yet.
"Due to a production process error" in the BMW X3, states the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice below, "the team seam on the instrument panel was not manufactured correctly." Big friggin' whoop, you say? Well, NHTSA points out that it could hinder the deployment of the airbag and send fractures flying everywhere.
The problem was discovered in a select few examples of the 2013 BMW X3 - both xDrive 28i and 35i models - manufactured in the later part of February this year. And by "select few," we literally mean a few - as in three. Three examples are being recalled. If you happen to be one of those three owners, expect to hear from your local dealership.
BMW will show Mini EV concept at Frankfurt
Wed, Aug 30 2017A month ago, BMW announced that it would electrify all its brands and model lines, including the Mini hatchback. A forthcoming full-electric Mini will enter production in 2019 at the Mini plant in Oxford, England, where the production line would join a German-built electric drivetrain with a British-built body. BMW notes that this will happen exactly 60 years after the original Mini hit the streets. View 5 Photos As the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show is upon us, BMW has introduced the concept version of the aforementioned electric Mini. The manufacturer says the color scheme chosen for the concept matches the previous electrified Mini, the experimental Mini E of 2008. That car was produced in a trial run of 600 units, and it provided BMW with valuable data as it was developing the i3 model, currently on the market. The Mini Electric Concept is powered by a lithium-ion battery, but no numerical specifications or range figures have been announced. It will be interesting to see whether the driving fun inherent to Minis can be translated, as a battery electric vehicle will undoubtedly be heavier than a fossil-fuel hatchback. The closed front grille stands as testament for doing without pistons or a need for engine cooling.
