1995 Bmw 540i - Exceptionally Well Kept - No Reserve on 2040-cars
Powder Springs, Georgia, United States

Hi there. Hope all is well. My name is Steve Lang. I have been an auto auctioneer, automotive journalist and car dealer for a very long time with 100% positive Ebay feedback for well over a decade now. for the majority of you who don't know who I am, feel free to Google "Steven Lang and auctions." I have been in the car business since 1999 and have thankfully met a lot of wonderful folks along the way. My customers have flown in from Montana, Washington State, Canada, and even one fellow who took a vehicle purchased for $1576 and drove it cross-country back to southern California. Every once in a while, I get a vehicle that should go directly to an enthusiast who is willing to maintain the car up to manufacturer spec. This 1995 BMW 540i is one of these cars. Like every older rare vehicle I sell on Ebay, the new owner of this 540i will appreciate the care given by the prior owner and will hopefully keep this older vehicle in good working order as a instead of just locking it up as a neglected museum piece. This is one of those cars that deserves to be driven and experienced by those who will value and care for it. To be brutally blunt, this 1995 BMW 540i looks like it was stuck in a time warp. No I'm not exaggerating. Take a look at all the pictures, and feel free to contact me if you would like to see additional ones as well. This 5-Series was put in a family trust where it remained an occasional driver for nearly 14 years (3,500 miles a year). The interior is the cleanest I have ever seen on this vintage of BMW's, and the exterior looks about commensurate with a four to five year old model. The tires are Kumho Ecsta LX Platinums that have about 90% of their tread left and the car is remarkably absent of any of the groans that come with older suspension systems that have gone through the rigors of pothole ridden roads. This one has been well cared for and the overall condition reflects a car that is likely within the top 2% of all BMW's of this vintage. Carfax has this 540i recorded as a one owner with one accident (no I don't use Autocheck because their accident histories are incomplete) that took place approximately a decade ago. However the repair was done to OEM spec and the car has been kept in excellent condition since (see pictures). NOTE: I am selling only this to an enthusiast... and yes, I really do mean that. If you are a grandparent looking to enable your progeny please go immediately to the Ford Escort wagon listings which will gladly afford your young one with a nice basic ride. These models are neither basic nor cheap, which brings me to the terms for this auction. |

BMW i8 added to exotic Dubai police fleet
Thu, Mar 12 2015Apparently the Dubai Police is ready to start expanding its vast collection of exotic cars yet again. After taking a little while off from new purchases, the cops there recently added a Lexus RC F to the stable, and now the force has gone green – well, kind of. The latest high-performance vehicle to wear the green and white livery is a BMW i8. While the video above isn't in English, the clip is self-explanatory by showing off officials getting out of the high-performance hybrid coupe and taking a walk around it. With a total output of a mere 357 horsepower, the i8 is practically the economy entry in the Dubai Police fleet that includes a Bugatti Veyron and McLaren MP4-12C.

Recharge Wrap-up: Eigg's renewable energy grid, Wulin City Car EV looks like i3
Fri, Sep 12 2014Scotland's Isle of Eigg's electrical grid relies solely on wind, hydro and solar power. It's the first grid of its kind after switching to renewable energy from noisy, unreliable diesel generators. Scotland's renewable resources are fodder for supporters of independence form the UK, and Eigg is a perfect example of that potential. Besides being a responsible community, it also seems like a lovely place to visit. Read more at Reuters. London Mayor Boris Johnson is calling for incentives for diesel vehicle scrapping. The goal is to improve London's air quality, encourage the purchase of clean vehicles and offset the inconvenience of charging diesel cars to enter the city's proposed Ultra Low Emissions Zone. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release below. BMW, Nissan, Renault and Volkswagen are teaming up to create a better EV charging infrastructure in the UK and Ireland. As part of the Trans-European Transport Network (T-ENT) program, the group aims to create extended EV-friendly roadways with the UK Rapid Charge Network, connecting major cities on the islands. Plans for the network include 70 rapid chargers along 684 miles of road. The four manufacturers also want to extend the project to mainland Europe to encourage the adoption of EVs. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Wuling is working on an EV, called City Car, which liberally takes visual cues from the BMW i3. The City Car EV concept is slated to make its debut in November at the Guangzhou Auto Show, while a production version could make its way onto Chinese roads next year. We might have to wait until the debut to know what powers the City Car, as those details haven't been released yet. General Motors is a 43-percent stakeholder in Wuling. Read and see more at Car News China. Taxi customers in New York will enjoy greater payment flexibility with the new interoperability between RideLinQ and Way2ride apps. Now customers will be able to use either app to pay in any of the city's 20,000 green and yellow taxis. There's no need for separate apps for separate cabs, and no need for drivers to install any new equipment. The groups behind the apps hope to expand this functionality to other cities across the country. Read more in the press release below.
Former BMW M boss and Maserati CEO killed in freak motorcycle accident
Mon, 19 Aug 2013It's a tragic coincidence that on the same weekend the BMW M4 Coupe Concept was introduced in Monterey, one of the men most integral to BMW's M and Motorsports divisions, Karl-Heinz Kalbfell, was killed in England. Kalbfell, a vintage motorcycle enthusiast, was set to compete in the Lansdowne Classic Series at Brands Hatch and had an accident during a practice session. After going wide at Druids Corner and falling, he was hit by a competitor following close behind and died of his injuries after being transported to hospital.
Kalbfell, an engineer, began his career at BMW in 1977 in the communications department; a decade later he was chairman of BMW M GmbH, overseeing development of some of the cars responsible for the myth of M. In 1994 he was named chairman of BMW Motorsport, and his cap full of feathers includes getting the BMW V12 into the McLaren F1, getting the BMW V8 into two Morgan cars, along with developing BMW's Formula One engine and return to the sport. Not incidentally, he also assumed leadership of Project Rolls-Royce after BMW bought the British marque in 1998, which means he oversaw the Goodwood factory upfit and the creation of the Phantom.
He left Rolls-Royce for a brief stint at Fiat, heading Alfa Romeo and Maserati, then went into consulting for clients like Lotus and Paragon, who built the Artega GT. As Autocar notes, Kalbfell "had an abiding sense that customers needed to be attracted to cars by their aura and reputation, not just their engineering." He will be missed.
