LET ME BEGIN BY SAYING I OFFER ANY BUYER THE RIGHT TO INSPECT THE CAR OR ARRANGE TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED WITH THE OPTION TO CANCEL THE SALE. OF COURSE THE DEPOSIT WILL BE REFUNDED IF THIS OPTION IS TAKEN. I CANNOT OFFER ANY WARRANTY OR GUARANTEES BUT I AM SUPREMELY CONFIDENT THAT ANY BUYER OR INSPECTOR WILL FIND THIS BMW  TO BE A SOLID VALUE.


The motor is smooth, no smoking, no lack of the performance expected from a BMW. The automatic transmission shifts without any hesitation. On the road at any speed...from 35 to 95 on the open California roads the car tracks straight and true. The leather interior is in excellent condition. I have looked at cars on dealer lots selling for the full value of $16,000 that were not really any better. Needless-to-say, the is no rust issues with this car. Furthermore, the paint has a great shine to it and there is none of the all too common California sun bleaching of the paint either. This is simply a great looking and very good running BMW X5. It is not "perfect" as those cars do exist but sell for $15,000 and more.   The rear view camera tied into the in-dash DVD playing head unit is not coming through. With the mileage within 5000 miles of 100,000 miles a repetitive Service engine soon light comes on.  However, the OBD 2 system shows no codes of  any kind. I was told this is common to car companies as a means to get people into the dealership to try to sell any service a customer might be willing to pay for....from wiper blades, to cabin air filters, oil changes, etc, etc.

In addition to the extensive list of  BMW luxury appointments the car has authentic BMW 20" 7spoke alloys and Xl/speed rated tires. They are 275x40x20 in front and 345x35x20 in the rear. About 70-75%  tread left too. The cost for  these was over $4000!  YOU WILL  ALSO GET the quite pricey BMW upgraded running boards which make any X5 look better and are functional to have. YOU WILL ALSO ENJOY the top-of-line Pioneer DVD in dash audio/video system with dual high power amps expertly installed out of sight in the side panels and twin 10"subs in a custom enclosure. Minimum space is lost in order to gain a video and sound system vastly superior to a stock setup. These upgrades cost over $7000.

WHETHER THE BUYER IS LOCAL OR OUT OF STATE I OFFER  A GUARANTEED RIGHT OF INSPECTION. I GUARANTEE TO REFUND THE DEPOSIT THAT MAY HAVE BEEN MADE INTO PAY PAL IF UPON INSPECTION BY THE BUYER OR ANYONE ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE BUYER, THE CAR DOES NOT MEET EXPECTATIONS THE SALE CAN BE CANCELLED. THIS INSPECTION MUST TAKE PLACE WITHIN 7 DAYS OR THE BALANCE OF PAYMENT WILL BE DUE AND THE DEPOSIT WILL NO LONGER BE REFUNDABLE. I CANNOT BE  ANY MORE FAIR. NOT MANY SELLERS ARE THIS CONFIDENT IN THEIR VEHICLE OR THIS FLEXIBLE.

This car has current California registration and smog. I need to point out however that it  has a California salvage title. BUT BEFORE ANYONE PANICS THEY SHOULD KNOW WHAT THAT SCARY SOUNDING SALVAGE TITLE REALLY MEANS. BEFORE YOU PANIC LEARN THE FACTS. Four years ago and 35,000 miles back this car was indeed hit. Oh my! Is the darn steering wheel going to come off in your hands or the motor fall out at the first bump? ABSOLUTELY NOT! The reality is before a car, that was hit, regardless of how minor or severely, can get a salvage title it must  first be inspected by the state inspectors.  If there is any questions about the safety, the braking systems and such it will not be granted a salvage title and will not be able to be sold. WELL, THIS CAR HAS PASSED NUMEROUS STATE SAFETY INSPECTIONS AND PASSED SMOG INSPECTIONS RIGHT UP TO NOW WHERE THE REGISTRATION AND SMOG ARE CURRENT. Furthermore, since all all panels, doors, windows, etc, etc, are aligned so nicely, and there are no rattles or squeaks, and the body and paint look so good, the quality of whatever repairs it needed were no doubt, had to be, done by very skilled technicians. Salvage titled cars can be disappointments. NOT because the steering wheels fall off or the motors fall from the frames. The problems with salvage titles lies with the quality and dedication of those people putting on the fenders and such. IF FIXED WELL, THERE IS NO REASON WHY A "SALVAGE TITLED" CAR IS ANY LESS WORTHY THAN ANY OTHER CAR. In fact,  many a car, damaged pretty bad...but just under the monetary threshold insurance companies use to classify a car as repairable or not worth bothering with,(which begets a salvage title scenario) retain "Clear title" but are LESS  roadworthy than a STATE INSPECTED SALVAGE TITLED CAR. Thus, a Salvage title does not mean you need to panic. ALL THIS FINE INFORMATION IS RIGHT OFF THE INTERNET SO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS I AM GOING TO SELL THIS CAR FOR WHAT CAR FAX SUGGESTS AND ADD IN THE $7000 IN UPGRADES MAKING THIS AN ABSOLUTE NO-BRAINER.

2016 BMW 7 Series spied for the first time ever

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Ladies and gentlemen, Bimmerphiles and automotive voyeurs of all stripes: here is your next-generation BMW 7 Series. Captured in photographs for the first time ever while doing a spot of cold-weather testing in Sweden, this newly slim 7er will most likely debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2015 and launch in the 2016 model year.
Sources indicate that BMW is targeting a much lighter curb weight for the 7 Series, and will use learnings gained with the i3 and i8 development to add carbon fiber-reinforced plastics in the construction. In return we'd expect the new model - which uses the internal model designation "G11" - to offer improvements in handling, acceleration and fuel economy. As with the current 7 Series lineup, expect the engine range to include turbocharged inline-six engines, one or more V8s and a V12 option.
It's fair to say that, with the car's debut still years down the road, that BMW will work to launch with an impressive suite of in-car technology, too. A completely new version of iDrive shouldn't be ruled out. These shots mark the beginning of a long journey to 2015, and we expect to have loads more information to share in the coming months and years, so stay tuned.

BMW i8 wins 2015 Car Of The Year award in UK

Sat, Feb 28 2015

Those Brits sure do like those Bimmers, don't they? The BMW i8 plug-in hybrid was recently awarded UK Car of the Year from a group of more than two-dozen British automotive journalists, UK's Telegraph reported. Last year's winner of the first-ever such award? The BMW i3 electric vehicle. The i8 was feted for its combination of performance, styling and fuel efficiency. The car pairs a three-cylinder gas engine with a 96-horsepower electric motor and can go from 0-60 miles per hour in just over four seconds while having a fuel-economy rating of 76 MPGe. Last November, the i8 was given Autoblog's 2014 Technology of the Year award and the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year by Green Car Journal, so the British journalists are not alone in their sleek PHEV love. "This is a truly great honor for BMW's visionary car and proof that sustainable mobility can be beautiful and fun," BMW spokesman Kenn Sparks told AutoblogGreen. Other winners for individual categories from the UK this year included the Rolls-Royce Ghost (which won for Best Luxury Car), Ford Mondeo (Best Family Car) and Renault Twingo (Best City Car). Check out our First Drive impressions of the i8 here. Related Video: Featured Gallery 2015 BMW i8: First Drive View 62 Photos News Source: Telegraph via Hybrid Cars Green BMW Hybrid car of the year
