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 and Jaguar Land Rover to jointly develop electric car tech

Wed, Jun 5 2019

FRANKFURT – BMW and Jaguar Land Rover on Wednesday said they will jointly develop electric motors, transmissions and power electronics, unveiling yet another industry alliance designed to lower the costs of developing electric cars. Both carmakers are under pressure to roll out zero-emission vehicles to meet stringent anti-pollution rules, but have struggled to maintain profit margins faced with the rising costs of making electric, connected and autonomous cars. "Together, we have the opportunity to cater more effectively for customer needs by shortening development time and bringing vehicles and state-of-the-art technologies more rapidly to market," said BMW board member Klaus Froehlich. BMW and Jaguar Land Rover said they will save costs through shared development, production planning and joint purchasing of electric car components. Both companies will produce electric drivetrains in their own manufacturing facilities, BMW said. The BMW Jaguar Land Rover pact comes as rivals FiatChrysler and Renault explore a $35 billion tie-up of the Italian-American and French carmaking groups. Nick Rogers, Jaguar Land Rover's engineering director said, "We've proven we can build world beating electric cars but now we need to scale the technology to support the next generation of Jaguar and Land Rover products." BMW was in talks with rival Daimler about developing electric car components but was also in discussions with Jaguar Land Rover, a company it once owned, to explore an alliance on engines. BMW already has a deal to supply an 8 cylinder engine to Jaguar Land Rover. Carmakers are increasingly open to sharing electric car parts because the technology is expensive and because customers no longer buy a car based on what engine a vehicle has. "Carmakers are much less precious about sharing electric car technology because it is much harder to create product differentiation with electric car tech. They all accelerate fast, and everybody can do quality and ride and handling," according to Carl-Peter Forster a former chief executive of Tata Motors and a former BMW executive. Jaguar Land Rover is still run by former BMW managers, including Ralf Speth the company's chief executive who spent 20 years at BMW prior to joining JLR, and Wolfgang Ziebart, the engineer who oversaw Jaguar's I-Pace electric car program, who is a former head of research and development at BMW.

BMW readies EV, hydrogen updates for 2015 Detroit Auto Show

Sat, Dec 13 2014

BMW's stand at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the place to go for updates. News about advances in electric vehicle infrastructure, hydrogen fuel cells (maybe) and BMW's suite of connected vehicles app things will all make an appearance at the show next month. Let's start with what we know for sure. Both the i3 and i8 plug-in vehicles are supremely connected cars. A new announcement from BMW (available below) says that the suite of "Now" – ChargeNow, ParkNow and DriveNow – apps will be extended and available internationally. The updates include things like being able to find new new fast-charging stations and ParkNow LongTerm, which will let drivers find a permanent parking space where they can fill up their batteries. As Jacob Harb, BMW of North America's head of electric vehicle sales and strategy, told AutoGuide, "2015 is the year of infrastructure." While there is no official mention of a fuel cell stack in the official release (and we've asked BMW to see if there's anything to this news), Inside EVs says that BMW will also show off its new fuel cell stack in Detroit. That's the one that Toyota and BMW are working on together, as announced back in January 2013. If it makes an appearance, then it'll be our first look at the powertrain that's one generation beyond what Toyota has now in the Mirai. BMW at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) 2015 in Detroit. On 12 January 2015, BMW will welcome in the new car year by unveiling a raft of new products at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. A fixture on the calendar since 1907, the event originally known as the Detroit Auto Show has a long tradition in the USA. This year will be the 27th time it has been held on an international stage, and more than 200 exhibitors will gather at the COBO Center on the Detroit River to present their latest offerings to a large audience. More than 18 million people have visited the show since 1989. The public days take place from 17 – 25 January. Celebrating their world premieres in Detroit are the new BMW 6 Series Convertible, Coupe and Gran Coupe, as well as the new BMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Convertible and BMW M6 Gran Coupe high-performance models. They will be joined at the NAIAS by the cutting-edge BMW i models and innovative services encompassing the world of electric mobility. And BMW ConnectedDrive will be showcasing its over-the-air regular automatic map updating technology.

BMW's new i DC Fast Charger will give free juice to i3 drivers

Tue, Jul 29 2014

From solar chargeports to the first SAE Combo Fast Charger, BMW is offering or promoting more charging options for the i3 than most people will know what to do with. This is not a bad thing. At the Plug-In 2014 conference happening in San Jose, CA this week, BMW announced a new i DC Fast Charging unit as well as the ChargeNow DC Fast program, which is similar in some ways to Nissan's No Charge To Charge. Let's start with the chargers. Smaller and much cheaper than other DC fast chargers, an i DC Fast Charger costs just $6,548 plus installation. Remember, it was a big deal in 2011 when Nissan's DC fast charger was less than $10,000. The i DC Fast Chargers use the SAE Combo connector, so will also work in EVs from Ford, VW and Chevy and other automakers, when available. They take 30 minutes to charge an empty i3 to 80 percent full. All a driver will need in order to use the charger is a ChargePoint (or ChargeNow) card. Most of the first units will likely end up at BMW i dealers across the US. In a separate announcement, the ChargeNow DC Fast program will allow BMW i3 drivers to get free charging until the end of 2015 at participating NRG eVgo Freedom Stations. The catch is that they need to use the ChargeNow card at least once by the end of 2014. eVgo is promising to install at least 100 compatible DC fast chargers in California by the end of next year, so this should be relatively easy in at least one of the 50 states. We will have more from San Jose soon. BMW Unveils BMW i DC Fast Chargers and ChargeNow DC Fast program at Plug-In 2014. BMW i DC Fast Chargers, developed in collaboration with Bosch Automotive Service Solutions, are half the size of current DC Combo fast chargers, compatible with multiple electric vehicles and significantly more affordable. BMW i DC Fast Chargers run on the ChargePoint network giving BMW i3 drivers access with a ChargePoint or ChargeNow card. ChargeNow DC Fast enables BMW i3 drivers to charge at no cost, at participating NRG eVgo Freedom Stations equipped with DC Combo Fast Charging, through 2015. San Jose, CA/Woodcliff Lake, NJ – July 28, 2014... At Plug-In 2014, a conference dedicated to discussing key issues for the long-term success of electric vehicles, BMW of North America launched its BMW i DC Fast Chargers which can charge the BMW i3 all-electric vehicle's battery up to 80 percent in 30 minutes.
