I am selling this vehicle for my friend Shaun who has owned the car for a year. He is selling because of purchasing a new vehicle. You can contact him on 1 (714) 805-2923 with any questions or to arrange to view the vehicle before the auction ends.
The body is in very good condition. It has tinted windows, 19 inch Hartge wheels with good tires. Tinted windows. Tinted head lamps and tail lights.
Mechanically it is very reliable and has been well maintained. The owner Shaun is a mechanic by trade. The engine starts and runs without fault. The transmission shifts perfectly through all gears. The brakes are all good and it stops nice and straight with no brake shudder. The exhaust system is in good condition. It his daily driver that he uses to take his 4 year old daughter to pre school so the mileage will increase by a few hundred before the auction ends. It drives down the road very smooth and tight. There are a few minor faults. The airbag light is on due to the clock spring behind the steering wheel. Cheaply fixed. The check engine light is also on due to the intake air temp sensor which is also a cheap repair.
The interior is in very nice condition with white and black leather. There is no wear or rips on the leather seats. The rear cup holders are broken like on most of these 5 series. All the electrics work fine except the sunroof and passengers front window regulator is a little bit dodgy when lowering the window.
Overall this BMW is in very good condition for its age and would make someone a very good looking reliable car. It is very good on gas and the tags don't expire until January 2014.
This BMW is being sold with No Reserve to the highest bidder. A $500 deposit must be paid via Paypal within 12 hours of the the auction ending and the balance must be paid in full within 7 days of the auction ending. Car must be collected within 7 days of auction ending. If you cannot comply with this then please do not bid.

2014 BMW 320i
Tue, 24 Dec 2013When BMW switched its entry level 3 Series, the 328i, from a naturally aspirated, 3.0-liter six-cylinder to a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder, we weren't entirely sure what to think. Sure, from a pure numbers perspective, the new 2.0-liter cooked the old 3.0's goose, delivering more torque at far more accessible engine speeds while boosting horsepower and fuel economy.
While we miss that revvy six-pot, the numbers for the 2.0 were just way too good to pass up. Then we received news of an even less-powerful 2.0-liter 3 Series - the 320i. This was interesting, as it saw BMW delving into a power level previously owned solely by the anemic Lexus IS 250 and its six-cylinder engine.
Could BMW make a sub-200-horsepower sedan that still drove the way we expected a 3 Series to drive? To find out, we borrowed the new 320i for a week of testing.
BMW 1 Series getting a small nose job
Tue, 06 Aug 2013As BMW prepares to launch its new 2 Series lineup, it appears that the current 1 Series is going to get a little attention for itself. Based on these spy photos, the 1 Series hatchback (F20/F21), which is not offered in the US, will be getting a minor facelift in the near future.
From what we can see in these images, the updated 1 Series will definitely be getting a tweaked front end, with most of the attention focusing on the air intakes and grille. Our shooter tells us that it is possible that the headlights may yet be reworked in some way by the time we see this car in production form. It still isn't clear if we'll ever see this bodystyle or the next-gen 1 Series in the US, but our most recent report seems to indicate that the car's fortunes will depend somewhat on how well the Mercedes CLA-Class and Audi A3 sell.
BMW revises X1 to tide it over until replacement
Tue, 17 Dec 2013It's been over five years since BMW first introduced the X1 at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, and a bit over a year since it brought the compact crossover to these shores. Soon the Bavarian automaker will replace the X1 with a new model based on the company's new front-drive architecture, but not before it gives it a few updates to keep it fresh.
Set to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show next month alongside the Z4 Pure Fusion Design and the new M3 sedan and M4 coupe, the enhanced X1 benefits from some new exterior accents, a spruced-up interior and new technology packed inside.
New air intakes in the bumper and integrated daytime driving lights distinguish the front end, with new wheel and color options available. Inside, certain versions get a new dashboard treatment, among other minor trim updates, and BMW has installed its latest ConnectedDrive suite to keep it up with the times. Scroll down for the full details.
