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 celebrates 30 years of M5 with 600-hp super sedan
Wed, 07 May 2014It's been 30 years since BMW rolled out the first M5, and while displacement and cylinder count may have fluctuated over those past three decades, output has only increased. The first-generation E28 M5 packed a 3.5-liter inline-six with 252 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. The second-gen E34 model that followed added an extra 100 cc (and later 200 more) to produce 310 hp and 266 lb-ft. The E39 followed with a 4.9-liter V8 churning out 394 hp and 369 lb-ft, replaced by the award-winning 5.0-liter V10 in the E60 with its 500 hp and 380 lb-ft before BMW rolled out the latest model with a 4.4-liter V8, its twin turbos making up for the two dropped cylinders and 600 cc of displacement to produce 560 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. But even that's being left in the dust by the new special edition you see here.
The 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 packs that same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, but cranks the output up to a nice, round 600 horsepower and a solid 516 lb-ft of torque to go with it. That makes it more powerful, not only than any M5 that's come before it, but also any of its rivals. The Jaguar XFR-S and Audi RS6 Avant (the latter only available as a wagon and not in North America) both lag behind this ultimate of Ultimate Driving Machines; only the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG trumps it on torque (but not on power), with 531 lb-ft in stock form and 590 in the S-Model.
As a result, the 0-60 time drops from a quoted 4.2 seconds in the stock M5 to a scant 3.7 in the 30th Anniversary edition (just one tick behind that twistier E63 S). The special M5 also comes with the Competition Package as standard, as well as a dedicated control module for the Active M Differential, a special Frozen Dark Silver matte finish, 20-inch alloys and black chrome badges. Special badges abound inside as well, where you'll also find black leather and Alcantara upholstery and aluminum trim. There'll even be a dedicated one-day course offered to owners at The Thermal Club in Palm Springs, CA, to further sweeten the deal.
Toyota passes BMW as most valuable car brand
Tue, 21 May 2013An annual market study of the strongest brands across various industries has seen Toyota leapfrog BMW as the world's most valuable automotive brand. Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category. Volkswagen was the only other auto brand that finished in the top 100 overall, in 100th place. Audi made the greatest percentage gain over 2012, up 18 percent to $5.5 billion, but finished outside of the top 100.
Technology companies dominated the overall list, with Apple, Google and IBM ranking one through three. Couture brand Prada was 2013's biggest gainer, rising by 63 percent over 2012.
BMW NA chief: US won't get enough i3 EVs to satisfy demand
Mon, Jan 27 2014Nothing boosts the mystique of a new product like a "sold out" sign, and it appears likely that BMW will go that route with its first plug-in sold in the US. The German automaker won't likely import enough of its new i3 plug-in vehicles to meet US demand, Bloomberg News says, citing BMW North America chief Ludwig Willisch. Willisch added that once everything is up and running, the US will be the world's largest market for the i sub-brand of plug-in vehicles, which we know will also include the far racier i8 plug-in hybrid and likely other models as well. The i3 will arrive at US dealerships by the end of May and US dealers are investing $2.5 million in upgrades in part to accommodate the new i sub-brand. Last summer, BMW said its i3 would have a starting price of $41,350, not factoring in government tax credits nor the gas-powered range extender (which tacks on another $3,950). Both versions will be allowed into the high-occupancy-vehicle lanes, even with only one driver, in California though battery-powered version will get the unlimited white sticker (as opposed to limited green one). Check out our review of the i3 here.
