This auction is for a:
 "Blacked Out" 2001 x5 3.0L loaded!

246k miles (shouldn't vary much.  I have a new company car so I unless someone test drives the car, no additional miles should be added)

This is a great car, and quite honestly I hate to part with it.  Our company is now providing us a car vs reimbursement, which is the only reason I am selling my baby (and this car has been babied).  I will try to give a completely open/honest description that's fair and not inflated so you know what you're getting.  Please feel free to ask any questions you would like.  Happy to answer them.  Also, if you live near Topeka and would like to come look at/test drive the car, no problem.   That's how confident I am.

-Body is in great shape...garage kept. No rust or accidents.   (2 owner)
-Paint is in good shape... There are some chips around the front grill which were touched up, but no major paint flaws.
-A few MINOR dents/dings on driver/passenger door but no paint missing, etc
-There are 2 scuffs-one on the front bumper, one on the rear. See pics
-Very good interior. The seats are in great shape...no rips/tears/cracks (I always used leather conditioners)
-The wood grain has a few cracks as these models get with age, but Still looks great. No crack in the dash, plastics etc
-ZERO pixels out on dash readout or radio. Very common to see issues...this car has none!
-Heated front seats
-3.0 engine RUNS STRONG...does not blow smoke, or burn oil, and the filter is CLEAN!

This X5 has been blacked out...all black exterior, including paint, rear lights smoked, side markers smoked, front grille black, all badges including wheels with black carbon fiber, wheels (BMW original 18" rims-professionally powder coated), etc.  interior is also all black, including seats, liner, etc.

This has been my baby, and treated as such.  I've always replaced items as needed and kept repairs up.  In the last yr to yr and a half I have replaced the following (yes this car has highway miles and yes you can get one with 100k miles, but I promise you you you will be replacing these parts soon so factor that into your decision on another more expensive lower miles version)

-Both front door carriers have been replaced (over time they brake and are expensive to replace) 
-front arms, ball joints, bearings etc
-alignment performed this summer when new front arms were replaced
-all new coils, spark plugs etc
-drive shaft carrier/bearing
-radiator (3 row, not cheap 1 row version), coolant flush for engine and new coolant
-intake manifold & gaskets (tune up also done at same time and hoses checked/replaced so no vacuum leaks)
-brakes (pads etc) and cross drilled rotors
-disa valve
-crank case valve and hoses
-throttle body gasket
-belts (serpentine etc)
-headlights reconditioned so they do not have the scratches and haze typically seen
-gas pedal
-air conditioning resistor (common issue that cuts out your air conditioning)
-new key purchased so the keyless entry does work (you will get 2 factory keys, but one is dead, so the keyless entry feature does not work...alas why I bought a new one
-MAF sensor

Other notes... 

-I ALWAYS used premium full synthetic oil and Lucas stabilizer at EVERY oil change...the filter is very clean
-all features that should work do work...ie the heat, air, washer fluid pumps, garage door opener feature, etc.
- this car has heated front seats and work
-all steering wheel features like volume cruise etc work as should
-I have not had any transmission, rear differential etc issues

****I will include all the old parts that I replaced/have in case you ever need a spare part, etc****

So, I listed all the great things...I will list areas that will need attention at some point, flaws etc to be fair:

-scratches/scuff on the bumper (see pics)- 1 front, 1 rear
-headliner sags a little ONLY ON THE MOON ROOF 
-cracks in the wood grain (dash etc...very common)
-shocks at some point will need replaced. They're not bad by any means and won't need to be replaced tomorrow, but at some point you may want to ,)
-chips in the paint on the hood/near the grill.  I have used scratch fill paint to touch it up, but just so you know it's there 
-tires were replaced last summer, and there is still about 50%+ tread, so again...at some point
-I would get a "pedal position sensor" error code that popped up frequently which is why I replaced the pedal.  It has not come back on since, so I'm assuming that issue is resolved
-one of the power steering hoses must have a slight leak in the line because the steering is a little stiffer, and you do get that 30 second squeal when it's cold until the air clears the line, then it's good to go
-I replace the oil drain plug every oil change and I do notice that their are some drips of oil that do occur at the plug. I MAY have to touch up the oil level by 1/2 qt over the 3mo between changes...so it's minimal but want to be transparent...again this car does not burn oil, smoke etc

Overall this is a great x5 that turns heads...and for the price, good luck finding a better deal with as many options, replaced parts etc.  that being said, this is a car with highway miles and things do wear out, break etc so please bid accordingly. 

I'm happy to answer any questions so please ask before you bid.  

A $500.00 non-refundable deposit through PayPal is due within 48 hrs. Balance in full with wire, verifiable cashiers check, or cash only due within one week after end of auction please.

 Im glad to help you with with shipping if needed.

Don't bid on this if you have no intention to follow through. I don't have time nor patience to deal with non payers.  I'm a fair guy (100% feedback) and I have tried to give you all the pros and cons, so please treat me the same.

Thank you and good luck!

BMW Recalls 1.6 Million 3 Series Cars For Air Bag Problem

Wed, Jul 16 2014

DETROIT (AP) - BMW is expanding a recall of its most popular models to fix an air bag problem that is hitting much of the global auto industry. The German automaker says it will recall 1.6 million 3 Series cars from model years 2000 to 2006 across the world, including 574,000 in the U.S. The company said Wednesday that it's a precaution because other automakers using similar systems have reported problems. Air bag inflators in systems made by Takata Corp. can rupture. If that happens, the bags might not work properly, and shards could fly out and cause injury or death. The problem is responsible for millions of recalled vehicles during the past few years made by manufacturers such as Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota. Here's a look at the long history associated with this problem, that affects millions of cars. BMW said it has no reports of problems in its vehicles. Dealers will replace the passenger-side front air bags. The new recall excludes 42,000 BMWs recalled in May 2013 for the same problem. The company says it is recalling all vehicles equipped with potentially faulty air bag systems regardless of where they were sold. In June, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began investigating air bags made by Takata, a Tokyo-based supplier of seat belts, air bags, steering wheels and other auto parts. The agency said it received six reports of air bags rupturing in Florida and Puerto Rico. Three people were injured in those cases. It had estimated 1.1 million vehicles in the U.S. could be affected, but the total is likely to climb. The government says it wanted to act quickly in warm states while it continues to investigate the issue. "Based on the limited data available at this time, NHTSA supports efforts by automakers to address the immediate risk in areas that have consistently hot, humid conditions over extended periods of time," the agency said in a statement. Takata said in a statement Tuesday that it is supporting the NHTSA investigation and its customers with technical analysis and replacement parts. "Our objective is to do all that is possible to ensure the safety and well-being of the public," the statement said. Related Gallery AOL Autos Test Drive: 2014 BMW 428i

BMW M4 pitted against i8 in drag race

Fri, Jan 2 2015

Germany's Auto Bild has set up a very intriguing drag race to settle not just an inter-brand rivalry within BMW but a question of the old school versus the latest tech. The BMW M4 is a leader among the traditional sports coupes with a turbocharged inline-six spinning the rear wheels, but the M has to tackle the cutting-edge i8 with its turbocharged three-cylinder augmented with electric drive. See what happens when they go head to head. Even on paper, the race looks quite close. The i8 weighs about 300 pounds less than the M4 and also slightly nudges it out on net torque at 420 pound-feet versus 406 lb-ft. Also in some shots, the pavement looks just a little bit damp here, which would benefit the i8's all-wheel drive setup. However, the M-car has a healthy horsepower advantage with 425 hp against the hybrid's 357 hp. The race commences after a short introduction. Watch and see whether the traditional tech or latest layout wins the day.

Jaguar Land Rover to drop supercharged V8 for turbocharged BMW power

Wed, Jul 27 2016

There are few things that sound as good as Jaguar's 5.0 liter supercharged V8. As great as it is when the supercharger whines or the exhaust cracks and pops on throttle lift-off as the air pressure equalizes, the basic design dates back to the '90s. Plainly, the engine isn't as efficient as it needs to be, but designing a new V8 from the ground up is an expensive proposition. Instead, Automobile reports that Jaguar Land Rover is set to use a twin-turbocharged V8s supplied by BMW. Scalable architecture is all the rage as automakers streamline designs in order to save costs. For example, Jaguar's current supercharged V6 is quite literally a V8 with two holes missing. They didn't even change the length of the block. It seems both of those designs are on their way out, with the V6 being replaced by a inline-six closely related to the company's inline four. It seems that rather than designing an new and expensive V8 for their top of the line models JLR, is sourcing from BMW. From 1994 to 2000, BMW owned Land Rover. A few models, including the Land Rover Range Rover, used BMW engines then and in the initial years of Ford's JLR stewardship. It seems things have now come full circle. BMW currently makes a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 that produces anywhere from 440 to 600 horsepower, depending on the application. Automobile says that a new 4.0 liter V8 is in the works and that it will most likely be the engine that JLR uses. Expect it to be more powerful, more fuel efficient, and lighter than what both BMW and JLR currently offer. This seems like a win for both companies. BMW gets to offset the cost of a new motor while JLR, a smaller company, doesn't have to invest in a whole new architecture. As automakers search for ways to cut costs, expect collaborations like this to continue. Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz both share a four-cylinder engine. Ford and GM have worked together to design a shared 10-speed automatic. While we may lament the loss of that wonderful Jaguar Land Rover engine, we can still be happy that they haven't abandoned the V8.
