The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Engine is like new, transmission is solid, clutch has been babied, and the suspension is in top shape. Every single feature on the car works except the power trunk release (you need to use the key). The key fob also stopped unlocking the car from a distance about two weeks ago.As far as the exterior, there are some minor scratches on the front bumper, and one on the passengers side skirt. The plastic covering the drivers side fog light is cracked (cosmetic damage only). Other than that everything is perfect, including the rims which are pristine.Interior: Leather seats show NO signs of wear, carpets are fresh too. There are a few pixels that are out on the dashboard, but I would say 95-98% are going strong. The passenger's side reading light is burnt out, and the cupholders are finicky. Other than that, EVERYTHING WORKSPowertrain: Flawless. The car pulls like it just left the factory. Clutch has been babied, and the transmission shifts smoothly."

I have a 2002 BMW 540i with 6-speed manual and sport package for sale. 100% clean carfax, title in hand. I'm asking $7,500 for the car. How did I arrive at the price? Kelley Blue Book says about $7300 given condition and mileage (157k). The Carfax report says it's worth about $600 over blue book, totaling $7,900. The car does need new tires, so I subtracted $500 off the asking price.

I tried to be as detailed as possible with this listing, but if there's anything I missed or additional pictures you would like to see, feel free to message me (I will respond very promptly). 

Background: 
I am selling this car because I am moving back to Boston. I purchased this car three months ago because I needed a car to get to work at my job over the summer. I wanted a BMW 5-series because they drive like nothing else on the road, and I needed a car that could fit the other two co-workers I was going to carpool with. After spending two weeks looking, I finally found this 540i with the M sport package that a middle aged man was selling so he could buy a new 5 series. I have honestly never seen a better maintained car with 155k miles on the odometer. A few scratches on the front bumper and the power trunk release not working are the only signs that this car has been driven. 


I am moving August 27th so the car has to sell by then. If possible, I would prefer to keep the car until the 23rd (my last day of work), but if you need to pick it up sooner I can be flexible. I understand it is common practice to lowball sellers who are moving, but I really won't start sweating unless I somehow haven't sold this car a few days before I leave :)

If you would like to check out the car in person, it is located near Alviso during business hours, and South San Jose on weekends and evenings.

BMW i8 customized by AC Schnitzer [w/video]

Thu, May 14 2015

It may not enjoy the kind of factory support that Alpina does (let alone Munich's own M division), but as far as independent BMW tuners go, few have the kind of clout that AC Schnitzer does. Heck, it even won the DTM championship for BMW in its first year back in the series. And now the legendary Bimmer tuner has turned its attention to the i8. The list of Schnitzer's enhancements for the plug-in hybrid sports car is long, but perhaps wisely shies away from messing with the intricate powertrain. Instead the customization options focus on elements like the suspension, rolling stock, aero kit, and interior. AC Schnitzer has dropped the ride height by almost an inch at the front and 0.78 inches at the rear. It's fitted a set of 21-inch forged alloys with five split spokes and low-profile rubber to trim nearly ten pounds off the vehicle's unsprung weight while increasing its contact patch for better grip (albeit likely with higher rolling resistance). There's also a comprehensive rolling kit made of carbon fiber, including front spoiler elements, side skirts, and a rear wing that to our eye looks a little out of place on the i8, though individual customers may disagree. And the interior has been upgraded with aluminum pedals and velour floor mats. Of course customers will be able to pick and choose which elements they'd want to install on their hybrid vehicles, but you can check out the fully spec'd demonstrator in the high-resolution image gallery above and in the video below. (You just may want to turn down your speakers if you're not into German techno-pop.) Revolutionary Sporting Performance and Innovative Design The i8 by AC Schnitzer emphasises the strengths of the plug-in hybrid from Munich The BMW i8 is revolutionising its vehicle class as the first sports car to have the fuel consumption and emission values of a small car. Now thanks to AC Schnitzer, this revolution is being followed by another: the AC Schnitzer special equipment for the BMW i8 emphasises even more clearly the sporting performance and innovative design of the powerful, environmentally-friendly coupe. Lowered by 25 mm at the front and 20 mm at the rear, the i8 by AC Schnitzer hugs the tarmac more closely than the standard vehicle and can therefore develop maximum efficiency and dynamics on the road.

These are your top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012

Mon, Jan 7 2013

Despite 2012 being the best year of auto sales this country has seen since 2007, not every vehicle got an equally large share of the sales pie. Some barely got a sliver, as evidenced by this year's list of the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. We've dug through sales data from every automaker to come up with this year's list and, like last year, we've set some parameters to ensure it includes legitimately bad-selling vehicles. The first parameter is a starting MSRP under $100,000, which automatically excludes what's parked in most one-percenters' garages. We're also excluding vehicles cancelled in 2012, even if they garnered sales through the end of the year while dealerships sold off remaining inventory. This includes models like the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and last year's worst-seller, the Acura RL. Next, vehicles are considered as they are reported by the automaker, which means that, while sales of the Murano CrossCabriolet were probably low enough to make the list, because Nissan reports only one number for all Murano sales, it was excluded. Cadillac, however, reports sales of the Escalade EXT separately from the Escalade, hence its repeat appearance. Finally, there was the question of whether or not eligibility should be given to Suzuki vehicles, as the brand announced in November that it would end sales in the US as soon as its current inventory ran out. We decided Suzuki vehicles should be included as the brand was offering 2013 models at the time of the announcement, and as far as we can tell, inventory levels remained high enough to satisfy demand through the end of the year. Without further ado, below are the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. Top 10 Worst-Selling Vehicles of 2012 10. Volvo C30 MSRP: $25,500 Units Sold: 2,827 Last Year: – 9. BMW Z4 MSRP: $47,350 Units Sold: 2,751 Last Year: – 8. Audi TT MSRP: $39,545 Units Sold: 2,226 Last Year: – 7. Subaru Tribeca MSRP: $32,595 Units Sold: 2,075 Last Year: 10 6. Suzuki Equator MSRP: $19,449 Units Sold: 1,966 Last Year: 7 5. Cadillac Escalade EXT MSRP: $63,060 Units Sold: 1,934 Last Year: 6 4. Nissan GT-R MSRP: $96,820 Units Sold: 1,188 Last Year: – 3. Acura ZDX MSRP: $50,920 Units Sold: 775 Last Year: 4 2. Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback MSRP: $18,495 Units Sold: 702 Last Year: 3 1.
