Fayetteville, Arkansas, United States

2003 BMW 540iT, M sport package, very good condition Standard features: • Montana Leather Upholstery - Soft as a glove; feels like the softest leather on a goose down filled sofa • Xenon Headlights - Super bright, and yeah, they MOVE when you drive. These adjust to the terrain. • Full Aluminum Front and Rear Suspension - A first in the automotive world, this reduces unsprung weight to improve both handling and ride quality at the same time. • Intensive Headlight and Windshield Cleaning System. • Heated Windshield Washer Jets • Rain Sensing Wipers. All you have to do is activate them. They are perfect. • Auto-Dimming Inside and Left Outer Rear View Mirrors • Heated Dual Outside Rear View Mirrors - No problems with fogging or icing! • Full Remote Keyless entry lock/unlock with alarm and Interior Motion Detector Alarm. The interior alarm is sensitive! • Ram-Air Front Brake Cooling • Triple Zone Fully Automatic Climate Control • Four Fully Automatic Magic Power Windows -Just tap one or all the window switches and the windows open or close completely with no need to hold the button. Every window front and back has this • Fully Automatic Magic Power Glass Moonroof -Just tap the switch all the way and the roof opens or closes completely • All-Open and All-Closed Convenience Modes - Hold down the OPEN button on the remote and all four windows and sunroof open completely • In-Dash Radio and CD player, 6 disc in Rear • Universal Garage Door Opener • Power Front Memory Seats, Outside Mirrors and Steering Wheel. • and soooo much more The all important M Sport Package: • Steptronic Transmission - Full auto mode, sport mode and also full manual mode where you can shift through all 5 gears as you wish • High-Stall Torque Converter - This means the engine can spin faster, use more gas and thus make more power when starting off. I learned this the hard way. My garage door shows it! • 3.15 : 1 performance rear axle ratio. This means the car is always in a lower gear than the standard 2.82 : 1 ratio on standard 540i models. This way you always get more torque at the rear wheels which means more thrust which means more acceleration • M-Sport Aero Kit - Same body kit as on the M5, including front and rear bumpers and side skirts • M Suspension II - Unique for 2003. This is stiffer springs, shocks and anti-sway bars. It also lowers the entire car by 0.8 inches. It still rides nice and comfy, and makes it stiff and nimble enough for a lot of fun anywhere you drive. • Black Roofliner - Unique for 2003. Instead of gray, the whole roofliner is black. Kind of a Darth Vader look. Very cool. No, very, very cool! • M Footrest - Unique for 2003. This is a place to rest your left foot while you drive. • M Sport Steering Wheel - This is the excellent thick leather steering wheel with perfectly positioned finger controls for the radio, CD player and cruise control. It's a masterpiece of ergonomics. • M Sport Door Sills • High Gloss Shadowline Trim - This is black chrome around the windows instead of the usual silver. Beautiful touch. • 5 BBS RC’s, 17’s, lovely • 12-Way Power Memory Sports Seats, all functional. These are, hands down, the best seats I’ve ever sat in on a factory car. You do not move through a corner, and you’ll take the corners!! • Heated Seats and headlight washers, yes, it has the cold weather package, but not a heated steering wheel. The sport package changes the wheel to a smaller, leather wrapped version. Perfect, really. Custom options added: TEC console cup holder Black front kidney grills. I still have the originals. Black rubber BMW mats, plus the original carpets. Weather Tech mat for the trunk Custom tint New rear Eagle GT’s
New rear wiper assembly On Nov-23-13 at 08:32:43 PST, seller added the following information: New OEM DRIVE SHAFT on 8 November 2013, from dealership. Mostly highway miles, and I have owned the car since 24k miles. All inspections done by BMW or registered techs. Extensive paperwork comes with the car. New Fan clutch in June 2013 New vent valve seals in Dec 2012 New reservoir tank for radiator a few years ago. This car has been extremely reliable, unlike a 99 540 wagon I used to own. |

Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo burns all the midnight oil
Wed, 11 Sep 2013We've got good news and bad news for you, boys and girls, from the floor of the Frankfurt Motor Show. The good news is that the BMW M3 has come early, with a diesel, in wagon form - albeit with a different name. The bad news is that it will in all likelihood never make it to America. Which is a shame, because it's awesome.
What we're talking about, of course, is the new Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo. BMW's wickedly talented but lesser know stepchild has created a 3 Series with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo diesel six packing 345 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. You - and by "you," we mean overseas buyers - can choose between sedan or wagon, as well as rear- or all-wheel drive. But the bottom line is a 4.6-second 0-62 time and a 173-mph top speed... from a diesel.
We scoped out the rear-drive wagon Alpina brought to the show, decked out in its signature blue. And you can, too, in the gallery of live shots above, along with the freshly assembled stock photos of both sedan and wagon versions in the gallery below.
2014 BMW 5 Series starts at $50,425* and gets a new diesel, 5 Series GT starts at $60,925* [w/video]
Sun, 19 May 2013BMW itself says it is making "Precise modifications to the design" of the facelifted, sixth-generation 5 Series, and this is the result. The 2014 5 Series will come in four flavors - sedan, Touring, Gran Turismo and ActiveHybrid 5 - the biggest news probably the addition of a diesel engine for the US market.
When they go on sale in August, the 528i sedan will start at $50,425, a $1,700 increase over the 2013 model, and if you want xDrive that adds $2,300 to the price across the model range. The 535d employs a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six-cylinder diesel with 255 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque and starts at $56,025. BMW portends "substantial fuel efficiency gains over its gasoline-fueled counterpart," but the exact numbers won't come until closer to the on-sale date. The $64,825, top-dog 550i holds pat with 4.4-liter, twin turbo V8, with output upped to 445 hp and 480 lb-ft - an increase of 45 hp and 30 lb-ft of torque. The outputs haven't changed on the twin-turbo four-cylinder in the 528 nor the 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine in the 535, and *all prices include the $925 destination charge. The engines are also fitted with a coasting mode that uncouples the powertrain when rolling downhill.
Outside there are new "contour lines" for the grille and air intakes, slimmer taillights and elements that accentuate the car's width - as if that were necessary. Xenon adaptive headlights will be standard along with side indicator lights on the rearview mirrors, the options list adds LED headlights, the Luxury Line and Modern Line packages. The former package adds chrome trim to certain exterior elements, the latter adds matte chrome trim.
BMW M235i in circuit scrap with legendary E46 M3 CSL
Fri, 25 Apr 2014Earlier this month, we brought you news that BMW's one-year wonder, the 2011 1 Series M Coupe, is actually trading for more money today than it did when new. That sort of short-term appreciation is a major rarity with modern production cars, but apparently it's not the only BMW enthusiast coupe to enjoy far-above-average residual values. The not-for-North America 2004 M3 CSL, itself a single-year offering, apparently also fits that description, as we've just learned from Auto Express.
The M3 CSL ruled overseas BMW showrooms a decade ago, with just 1,400 examples built. Based on the well-regarded E46 M3, the rare two-door was relieved of extraneous bits for improved track work and driver fidelity, coming in at around 240 fewer pounds than a garden-variety M3. With carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic bodywork, thinner glass and a lot less sound insulation, the CSL was one of the more raucous cars of its day. Like the 1M Coupe, it was also one of the more connected cars of the era, with a retuned suspension, quicker steering, and a bit more power than its brethren.
As Auto Express points out, a good used one commands about the same money as a brand-new 2014 M235i - the closest thing BMW makes to a 1M Coupe today - which makes this video track battle an interesting new-versus-used showdown. According to AE, a well-sorted used M3 CSL will run UK consumers anywhere between £30,000 and £35,000 - roughly $50,000 to $59,000 US. That's a massive premium over the $10k-17k British buyers can expect to shell out for a comparable standard M3, similar to the story that plays out for the 1M versus lesser 1 Series variants.
