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.

2014 BMW 4 Series drops its top, priced from $48,750*

Sat, 12 Oct 2013

BMW will debut its new 2014 4 Series Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, and after seeing plenty of spy shots and, most recently, some leaked images, we now have all the official details. To no one's surprise, the 4 Series convertible is, essentially, a topless version of BMW's new-for-2014 4 Series coupe, and will be offered in the United States in the same 428i and 435i guises.
On the base end, that means the 428i Convertible arrives with the company's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, good for 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque, and available with either rear- or all-wheel drive. BMW says the 428i will sprint to 60 miles per hour in a respectable 6.2 seconds. For folks in need of more thrust, BMW will happily sell you a 435i Convertible, available only with rear-wheel drive, powered by a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-six that produces 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of twist. Hitting 60 mph in the 435i will take roughly five and a half seconds with the standard eight-speed auto. Curiously, BMW did not mention anything about a six-speed manual transmission for either model, so looks like this droptop might be an auto-only affair. We've contacted BMW for confirmation, so we'll keep you posted.
Like the 3 Series Convertible it replaces, the 4 Series uses a three-piece folding hardtop configuration, and BMW says that added sound deadening reduces audible wind noise by about two decibels. Folding the automatic roof takes just 20 seconds, and can be done at speeds up to roughly 11 mph. For chilly, top-down driving (something we're big fans of), there are now three-temperature neck warmers for the front seats - just like what Mercedes-Benz offers with its AirScarf system.

BMW M2, we're happy to see you

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

I recently spent some time behind the wheel of the BMW M235i and, well, I didn't love it. Sure, it's a great car, but I just didn't truly bond with it the way I have with previous M cars. What I had hoped for was a proper successor to the 1 Series M Coupe I fell in love with in 2011, but what I got instead was just a sporty 2 Series that didn't exactly stir my emotions in the same way.
But now there's this: the honest-to-goodness BMW M2. Previously, spy photographers captured a development-mule M2, but this is the real thing, in its full prototype body. Notice the aggressive front fascia that mimics the M3/M4, the more more robust wheel/tire package, and the M-standard quad exhaust outlets around back. This thing sure does look the business.
Details are slim as of this writing, but rumors suggest power will come from BMW's now-ubiquitous N55 turbocharged 3.0-liter six, with output somewhere in the 360- to 380-horspower range. The seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission seems like a good fit here, too. As does a six-speed manual transmission (here's hoping).

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.
