1998 BMW 540 - 6 speed manual transmission
In on trade at VSR Automobiles Inc. in Toronto is this very nice and clean 540i with a 6 speed box. This is a very fun and fast car to drive. Don't let the high kilometers fool you. This BMW has ben very well maintainned and has a strong motor, transmission and clutch. I have been happily using this BMW as my driver for months and only now have I put it up for sale. This is a fun, and cheap toy for BMW fanatics like myself. I have only done a couple of small mods like an M-spoiler and also new, blacked-out kidney grills. It has approx 309,800 kilometers and I have put on a few thousand with no issues. The silver exterior is very clean and rust free with just a few scratches here and there common of a car this old with these KM. It appears a couple of panels have been painted such as the front passenger fender. This car comes with a clean accident report from carproof. It also comes with the books and extra keys. Overall it is very nice. The interior is equally as nice. It does have one thing that i've never seen on any of the many 540's ive bought and that is cloth interior!!! It acually is very nice and great in the winter! There is some ripping on a couple of the seats but it is very, very nice overall. Everything including all power options, AC, heat and windows work. The only item I found not working is one of the passenger seat power settings. The car is fitted with 17" wheels with very good Michelin winter tires. No other sets to come with the car. The check engine light is also on. But again, I have been driving this car, had it checked for safety and it won't need much for an ontario safety. Lot's of clutch left and the motor is strong.
This auction is set up ONLY to accept reasonable offers. I will NOT give this car away and have no problem driving it, but if I get the right offer it's gone! Please ask all questions prior to making an offer. Have all funds in place, look over the vehicle if needed PRIOR to making an offer. Please do not waste my time as I promise not to waste yours. This is a good old car. I sold my last two 6-speed 540's for VERY good money and this one is MUCH nicer so please no low ball offers. I can arrange shipping anywhere in Canada at a very good dealer rate. Please email me your postal code for a quote. Car can be viewed anytime by appointment only at my lot at 1974 Dundas St. West. Always best to call first. This car is selling as-is where it is. My company policy is to not safety or etest any old cars.
Thanks for looking,
Vasco,

BMW reveals new X5 Security Plus in Moscow
Thu, 21 Aug 2014A major player in the Russian market, BMW is heading to the Moscow Motor Show this month with a slew of local debuts... most of which we've already seen. But among all the new models making the trek from Bavaria to Moscow will be the new X5 Security Plus.
In a new-model launch that will surprise exactly no one, BMW's latest armored vehicle upgrades the X5 with enhanced protection for oligarchs against Chechen rebels, AK47-touting gangsters and missiles randomly falling on Crimean highways. Now meeting the VR6 standard of ballistic protection, the new X5 Security Plus incorporates reinforced bodywork, seats and joints, along with bulletproof glass.
Of course all that reinforcement (not to mention the jars of beluga caviar and bottles of Stoli in the glovebox) will come with a weight penalty, but the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 ought to do the trick, driving 450 horsepower through BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system to get the vehicle's occupants out of a war zone in a hurry.
BMW working on 2 Series Active Hybrid Tourer
Wed, 14 May 2014The cover may have officially been pulled off the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer at the Geneva Motor Show, but BMW has apparently continued working on other variants behind closed doors. While at first glance this prototype looks like any other Active Tourer, the "Hybrid Test Vehicle" stickers on the passenger door and rear bumper give it away as something a little different.
Details about the hybrid Active Tourer are somewhat sketchy at the moment, but BMW indicated its likely direction for the electrified hatchback in the earlier Concept Active Tourer. It used a hybridized 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine coupled with an electric motor with a total system output of 190 horsepower and 147 pound-feet of torque. The company claimed that it had a roughly 19-mile electric range and could hit 62 miles per hour in under 8 seconds. However, the Bavarian automaker hasn't said yet whether this powertrain would be used in the production version.
The internal combustion 2 Series Active Tourer is rumored to come to the US in 2015. Given the nearly complete look of the test car, the hybrid might not be too far behind.
BMW i5, i7 rumors surface again
Tue, Feb 17 2015When we first wrote about a rumored BMW i5 in January 2014, after speaking to the Munich-based head of electric vehicle operations and strategy, BMW USA wrote to tell us that the "suggestion of a BMW i model larger than the i3 is hypothetical at this point." After that note came a year of speculation from places like Car and Driver, Automobile and Autocar zeroing in on what this "hypothetical" EV would look like. Car has this year's first scoop, laying out a few more of the ideas behind the expansion of the i line. Said to be aimed straight at the Tesla Model S, it is based on the long-wheelbase, Chinese-market 5 Series but will be badged as either an i5 or an i7. Expected to arrive in time for the 2018 model year to join the next-generation 5 Series, it will be priced to compete with the Model S, but loading up on options can push that beyond $125,000, according to Car. Outside will be a sedan body, possibly with cues from the 6 Series Gran Coupe and the next 7 Series. The internals will be a mix of components like steering, brakes, and suspension from the next ICE 5 Series, with a plug-in hybrid, battery-extending powertrain derived from the i8. Car's info suggests a four-cylinder motor with around 245 horsepower up front, with a 204-hp e-motor also up front and a 90-hp e-motor in the back, as opposed to the i8's single motor. That arrangement provides about 544 total horsepower and will allow the sedan to run in purely electric front- or rear-wheel drive, or as a petrol-electric all-wheel drive. Electric range should be around 80 miles, and the ICE will be limited to operation above 40 miles per hour. There's reason to start putting weight behind these specs because they repeat, almost exactly, those written in the Automobile piece from December. That story said BMW wants to build 30,000 of them per year, and a concept could come in 2017.
