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! |

New BMW i3-like Visio.M EV concept uses lightweight resin
Tue, Oct 21 2014It's not a new version of the BMW i3, but an updated version of a lightweight concept car from SABIC, BMW, the Technical University of Munich, Daimler and others does bear a certain resemblance to the well-designed plug-in city car. From the black "glass" in the hatch to the angled line tail lights to the up-and-down window line, you can see a sort of family resemblance (see an i3 comparison photo here). And, of course, they both have an electric powertrain. But the changes made to the new lightweight urban electric concept vehicle is more of an exercise in what's possible rather than a way to evolve the i3 and i8 into a broader i family of vehicles. Even so, what we see here is interesting, since SABIC found all sorts of new ways to take weight out of the car as part of the Visio.M (Visionary Mobility) project, which was first announced in 2012. Let's start with the window material, which as you might guess from the quotation marks above, is not made of glass but is instead SABIC's Lexan polycarbonate (PC) resin plastic. The lower weight (the PC helps shed about 29 pounds) adds two miles of range while the PC resin has better thermal conductivity compared to glass and so does even more because the HVAC system can be more efficient. According to SABIC's computational fluid dynamics analysis, an extra 9-10 miles of range, in fact. Without the battery, this concept weighs just 992 pounds. Remember, BMW already made a lot of weight-reduction measures in the i3 thanks to carbon fiber reinforced plastic, so to make the "glass" lighter would only help boost efficiencies on a production vehicle that uses a resin like this. Read more below. SABIC's LEXAN™ resin delivers weight savings and thermal efficiency for new ultra-lightweight electric car concept developed by BMW-led Visio.M Consortium Munich, October 20, 2014 Today, at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), BMW, Daimler, TUM scientists and a consortium of industry participants showcased a lightweight urban electric concept vehicle with various advances, including an all-plastic design of the car's windows. The windows are made of LEXAN resin, a polycarbonate (PC) material, and coating technologies from SABIC, a leading developer of PC glazing for automotive windows and many other thermoplastic solutions for the automotive industry.
BMW gearing up for Sochi Olympics with bobsled documentary [w/video]
Fri, Jan 3 2014BMW might be a German brand, but that isn't keeping its US branch from helping out Team USA as the 22nd Winter Olympics gets set to kick off in Sochi, Russia next month. We last reported on BMW's partnership with Team USA's bobsled team in November of 2012, but with barely a month until the opening ceremony, it's about time we hear something new about the team's progress. And that's exactly what's going to happen when Driving on Ice airs this Sunday afternoon. The documentary charts the progress of the Team USA/BMW partnership to redesign the team's two-man bobsled for an event in which the USA hasn't captured gold in since 1936. And if you're concerned that this will be nothing more than a long advertisement for BMW, then you'll enjoy knowing that the program has more to do with the Team USA bobsledders than with the automaker. Even the trailer stars a number of team members and coaches, along with BMW DesignWorks USA's Michael Scully, lead designer on the program. There's a short preview embedded below, so if you just can't wait for next month's Olympics to kick off, you'll want to tune into NBC at 12:30 pm (Eastern time). Scroll down to watch the video preview and check out the full press release from BMW. BMW Slides into 2014 Winter Olympic Year with Announcement of U.S. Olympic Marketing Campaign, Bobsled Documentary. "Driving on Ice," a Film About BMW's Redesign of the Team USA Two-man Bobsled, to Air This Sunday on NBC. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – January 3, 2013... BMW of North America, the Official Mobility Partner of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), today announced its U.S. Olympic marketing campaign for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games which includes a series of Olympic-themed advertisments, consumer and retail activations, social and digital media executions, and a national drive campaign to benefit Team USA. In addition, a documentary on BMW's complete redesign of the U.S. two-man bobsled entitled "Driving on Ice" will air this Sunday, Jan. 5 at 12:30 p.m. EST/11:30 a.m. CST on NBC. "Driving on Ice" chronicles BMW's collaboration with the USA Bobsled & Skeleton Federation (USBSF) to deliver a fleet of six new two-man bobsleds, applying the automaker's world-class design and engineering expertise to help Team USA chase its first Olympic gold medal in the event since 1936.
Renault Scenic EV takes first place as (European) Car of the Year
Mon, Feb 26 2024The automobile awards season may not be over, but two of the more prestigious annual races came closer to a climax this week. One might need a scorecard to keep track. We’re focused here on two events: the World Car of 2024, now reduced to three finalists in six categories. Then thereÂ’s the Car of the Year, known in some quarters as the European Car of the Year. Except that the car doesnÂ’t have to be European to win, only sold there. Got that? Winners out of the way first: At the Geneva Motor Show on Monday, the Renault Scenic E-Tech all-electric has been voted Car of the Year 2024. The Scenic is a fairly compact, somewhat stylish SUV for Europe only, and is the seventh vehicle from the French brand to win the award. It sells in the United Kingdom for about $47,500. The other six finalists that had made the first cut of voting in November were the BMW 5 Series, BYD Seal, Kia EV9, Peugeot E-3008/3008, Toyota C-HR, and Volvo EX30. The trophy winner was chosen by a jury of 59 motoring journalists from 22 countries. Scenic came in first place with 329 points. The Seal was the first Chinese-made car to make this awardÂ’s shortlist; it finished sixth out of seven, just up from the Toyota. One judge explained his decision to grant the Seal zero votes. Writing in Top Gear, Paul Horrell wrote this entertaining critique: “It looks good and is well specified, so makes a strong market entry. The advanced electric system and cobalt-free battery are commendable too, and it's enjoyable enough to drive quickly. That's undermined by an agitated ride over bumps, and the logic of screens and switches is pretty eccentric.” Recapping the World Car of the Year 2024 update, the sponsors shared the stage at Geneva on Monday with the Europeans as well, although they revealed only the top three finalists in six categories. For the ultimate prize, they are the Kia EV9, the Volvo EX30 and the BYD Seal. The winners will be announced March 27 at the New York International Auto Show. Here's more on the World Car finalists.
