Bmw X5 Blacked Out 3.0l Sport Package Many New Parts on 2040-cars
Topeka, Kansas, United States
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 sets Guinness record for longest drift with new M5 [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013In September of 2011, Chinese drifter Wang Qi broke the Guinness record for the world's longest sustained drift, doing 13 laps inside the Olympic Center Stadium in Tianlin, China for 5,802.3 meters. That was broken in February of this year by Abdo Feghali in Abu Dhabi drifting a new Chevrolet Camaro around a skidpad for 11,180 meters - almost seven miles. In March, BMW decided it wanted the record "back in the US," and set up a course at its BMW Performance Driving School near Greenville, South Carolina to get the job done. On May, 11 it was Mission Accomplished when Performance Center driver Johan Schwartz drifted an M5 around a skidpad continuously for 51.3 miles.
Despite that accomplishment, we're pretty sure that professional drifter Vaughn Gittin, Jr. isn't impressed. The way Guinness defines "drifting" can also describe a donut, which is effectively the kind of drifting that's been done for these last three records. BMW went even further by watering down the surface of the track, reducing the skill required and the need to change tires during the effort. On the other hand, you can't drift a car for long in a straight line, but perhaps there should be some clarification or classifications added to the milestones.
There's a short video below taken during the record-breaking run, and a press release from the company that did it.

BMW, Sixt carsharing making money most places
Wed, Aug 20 2014The DriveNow carsharing service, which is a partnership between BMW and Sixt, is growing quite rapidly. "We've been surprised about the explosion of new subscriptions, which has helped boost revenue," says Sixt CEO Erich Sixt. The number of DriveNow users has increased from 215,000 at the end of last year to 300,000 today. Sixt says that DriveNow has been profitable in cities in which it has been established for over a year. Perhaps encouraged by its unexpected success, DriveNow is set to expand even further. The service is currently available in five German cities, as well as in San Francisco, California, and the involved parties are considering a five-year plan to expand to 25 more cities in Europe and the US. Still, Sixt expects DriveNow to report a "small-to-medium, single-digit" loss for this year, according to Sixt CFO Julian zu Putlitz. It's no big deal, just the result of startup costs in new areas. Sixt, which is Germany's largest car rental company, also reported that its own second-quarter income rose 12 percent to $37.7 million, while sales rose 7.6 percent to $585.78 million. DriveNow uses a membership and pay-per-minute model that allows customers to rent BMW and Mini vehicles as they need them. The service also acts as a way to let potential customers try out the vehicles and familiarize themselves with the brands before they buy cars of their own at some point. Depending on the location, DriveNow's fleet includes the BMW 1 Series, ActiveE and X1, as well as several Mini vehicles like the Cooper, Clubman and Countryman.
