2006 Bmw X5 4.8is on 2040-cars
McLean, Virginia, United States
I purchased this car from another BMW enthusiast in Charlotte, NC just shy of 50,000 right here on Ebay. See my feedback dated 14 April 2011. The car is in overall great condition and I think anyone that views the car would agree. Reason for the sale is to upgrade to a larger SUV. I'm a typical American that hauls around kids and crap and just wants something along the size of a Tahoe. Car is fully loaded with comfort seats, heating steering wheel, heated rear seats, pano roof among the other stock options the 4.8is came with. Overall this car has been extremely reliable which is contrary to popular belief. Outside of standard services and fixing known problems with these cars (air struts, ps hoses) it's been a fantastic car.
Interior is in excellent condition. Only flaw I can really point to is the steering wheel trim is peeling which is fairly standard on these cars. I have the OEM BMW trim piece already and it will be passed along to the new owner. The navigation screen has a few smudges but nothing that affects the viewing while the car is on. You can only see them when the screen is dark. Leather is in great condition and shows very little wear. Carpet is clean, no stains, rips or tears. Exterior is also extremely well kept. The car has never been in an accident or had any paint work done. There is a small dent in the driver's side rear passenger door the size of a penny. It can easily be removed with PDR. There are a couple of nicks near the rear tailgate and bumper area but you have to be up close to see them. The wheels have some minor curb rash as well. Tires are fairly new Continental Extreme DWS. Mechanically the car has been serviced with the BMW dealer up until the factory warranty expired. I have the BMW service bulletin printout which shows everything handled while under factory warranty. Since I have owned the car it has been serviced at my local indy shop. I have all the service records and will also provide those to the new owner. Various repairs include both front air struts, power steering hoses, CAB's, Front Rotors & Pads. Known Problems • Valve cover gaskets are starting to seep. No major leaks and I am not topping off the oil, but they should be done in the next 5-10k miles. I would also suggest plugs at this time. • Rear brakes are almost to the wear sensor. The car is for sale in as-is condition, with no warranties included or implied. Again, it has been a great car and I would not hesitate to drive this car anytime or anywhere. This was a late 06 build date which is typically when BMW gets its act together and addresses common faults found in earlier builds. The car is clean and sitting in the garage awaiting a new owner. I'm happy to pickup the buyer at Dulles Airport or assist with shipping the vehicle. |

M-thusiast pops the question at BMW Welt
Tue, 02 Sep 2014We've seen all manner of marriage proposals over the years, but our favorites, of course, revolve around cars. One guy proposed to his girlfriend at a traffic stop, another during an autocross event, while yet another got dozens of Mazda MX-5 owners together to spell "Marry Me?" in Miatas. This latest proposal, however, put the M in Marriage as only a BMW enthusiast could.
While visiting BMW Welt in Munich, Bachir from Lebanon rolled out in a new blue M3 and got down on one knee in front of the gathered crowds to pop the question to Layal, his girlfriend of one year.
We'll let you watch the clip for yourself to see how it went, but suffice it to say that she was delighted. The couple plan to drive to the church in a procession of M cars for what promises to be a high-octane ceremony in their home country.
BMW 2 Series to wear 230i, M240i nameplates
Wed, 19 Nov 2014BMW might not be done tweaking its naming scheme quite yet. Of course, at this point, the jumble of numbers on the back of the Bavarian models has no connection to what's under the hood. So there's not much reason to stop changing the monikers now.
As Autoblog reported a few months ago, BMW is slotting upgraded, turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines called the B48 and B58, respectively, into the 3 and 4 Series. If this happens, the 328i/428i would become the 330i/430i, and the 335i/435i would turn into the 340i/440i.
Obviously, this change hasn't happened yet, but the same member of 2Addicts, a portion of the larger Bimmerpost community has now claimed that the 228i and M235i would get the same treatment. They would become the 230i and M240i, respectively, with the new engines.
BMW, Mini aim to sell million cars off new FWD platform
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Mini sold 301,526 cars in 2012; BMW sold 1.54 million of its own models. According to a piece in Autocar, analysts say the coming UKL1 platform that will form the skeleton of the third-generation Mini Cooper and coming front-wheel drive BMW 1 Series could be responsible for "more than 900,000 cars per year" all by itself.
That sale fire is fueled by the UKL1 wearing up to twenty-three bodies in total between the two brands, 11 for Mini and 12 for BMW, rendering hatchbacks, sedans, coupes, convertibles, wagons, crossovers and people-haulers from about 12.5 feet to 14.5 feet. In April the VP of Mini USA said we might find some current models don't make it to a next generation, but a graphic accompanying the Autocar story has them all there. If it's correct, then those 23 models will only base model lines and don't account for different engines and four-wheel-drive options for each model.
The big changes that would perhaps mean big sales for the Mini line are a five-door hatch with two smaller rear doors for children, the sedan talked about last year for Asian markets and an MPV perhaps wearing the "Traveler" name that could send the Countryman in a more SUV-like direction.
