2007 Bmw 5-series 530xit on 2040-cars
Templeton, Indiana, United States
This is a low mileage 2-owner vehicle well suited for the family that enjoys traveling in style and comfort. Most owners of this vehicle opted for the free automatic transmission; however, this car maintained its original 6-speed manual transmission making it somewhat rare and was hard to find. The engine is rated at 255 hp and 220 ft lbs of torque. I took ownership from Bell BMW in New Jersey that had initially leased it then put it through their certified used program after it was returned to them. It has not been a daily driver until recently; therefore, the mileage has remained relatively low at 65+K. The car was in the San Francisco Bay Area from July 2010 to June 2013 and maintained by Weatherford BMW in Berkeley under both the manufacturer's and certified pre-owned warranty; records included. The car is currently garaged in Pembroke Pines. FL. Around town gas mileage averages about 22 mpg, fully loaded with a roof rack around 25 mpg, and I have achieved 28-29 mpg on multiple lightly-loaded trips on open roads. A few of my favorite interior options include the front/rear heated seats and the heated steering wheel, large sunroof, and audio sound quality. There are LATCH attachments for child safety seats in the rear. On the outside, a critical component of the car's performance is the 18' 245 series wheel and tire package that ensures the car never loses traction. The AWD system mated with the dynamic stability and brake control ensures the car stays planted in any situation. An invisible but important brake-related safety feature, Dynamic Brake Control, moves the brake pads closer to the rotors if the driver quickly removes their foot from the accelerator in preparation for an emergency stop. The 0-60 time was advertised as 6.9 seconds which seems fairly accurate. The DVD charts for North America were updated to the 2012 edition and I will pass along the BMW car cover with the vehicle. The paint has been touched-up in two areas: the driver's door and rear bumper. The wheels have some minor scratches on the outer edges. There is a small indentation in the front bumper from a chain-link fence and a scratch on the front left. The left passenger door is dinged. The car is mechanically sound with no leaks and has years of enjoyment left to give to the right owner. Contact me with questions

What happens when you take an engineer sliding in a BMW i8
Fri, Sep 19 2014The BMW i8 is a pretty impressive car, and a highly visible one at that. It's a great brand ambassador, but not just for BMW. It's really no surprise that Formula E chose it as the safety car from the electric racing series. And, for its duties at tracks around the word, the i8 safety car got some slick upgrades, including wireless charging capabilities courtesy of Qualcomm. It's not your regular, cut-and-dry technology presentation. In the video below, Qualcomm engineers explain a little bit about what they do to enhance electric vehicles. But it's not your regular, cut-and-dry technology presentation. The engineers are forced to answer questions about Qualcomm's technology while riding along in the BMW i8 Qualcomm Safety Car driven by none other than Formula E driver Nelson Piquet, Jr. Sure, riding shotgun for hot laps at Donnington Park in an i8 sounds like a lot of fun, but these guys have a job to do, and Mr. Piquet isn't making it easy for them. The Qualcomm guys talk about taking technology and beefing it up for automotive use, explain the benefits of wireless charging and discuss some other stuff that's hard to pay attention to while watching the i8 get totally sideways in a smoky powerslide. See for yourself in the video below. If you miss something, don't worry; Qualcomm provides more explanation about its automotive technologies at its website, including safety, communication and, of course, inductive charging.
2015 BMW M3 squares off against Alpina D3 in gas vs. diesel throwdown
Sat, 26 Jul 2014There was a time when diesel meant one of two things: This vehicle's owner either wants to save some money at the pump or needs to haul massive loads. It definitely did not mean that the owner of said machine wanted to drive fast, but that perception has slowly but surely been changing over the last several years, with automakers from Volkswagen and Ford to Audi and BMW offering spiced-up versions of their high-compression, turbocharged diesels.
It's that last automaker we mentioned that's the subject of the video you'll see down below. One bright-blue BMW M3 was procured by the Brits at Autocar, and it was lined up against a deep-black Alpina D3 (which we sadly can't buy in the US) in a spate of tests, including acceleration, stopping, sound and lap times on a closed circuit. The results, which we won't spoil for you, were enlightening, and were followed up by personal impressions from the man behind the wheel.
We know you're curious. All it takes to find out which of these 3.0-liter, twin-turbo-powered 3 Series variants came out on top is to scroll down below and watch. You know what to do.
Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan
Sun, Dec 14 2014Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below.
