Hello! I am selling my 2004 BMW 530i / E60 Sedan! It has been a blast to own and has served me very well, and I can now say I've owned the "Ultimate Driving Machine." But it is time we part ways. Reason for selling is to finance travel, also as much as I love driving stick shift the constant use of my left leg for the clutch has been aggravating a pre-existing injury so I'm trying to get away from manuals altogether.
Before I get into details, let me just state the obvious. This car is really, really nice! It runs strong, it is clean, it's in great cosmetic condition and it impresses everyone who sees or rides in it. The original list price on this car was about $45,000. As for the details: - ~96,900 miles - 3.0L I6, 225HP - 6-speed Manual Transmission, RWD - Rated 20/30 MPG, I get around 33 MPG on the highway when driving mindfully (awesome on gas for long distances), average around 25-27 MPG overall. Daily driving gets about 500 miles on the full 18.5 gallon tank, highway driving I've gotten almost 600 miles on a tank. 91+ octane premium gasoline is suggested by BMW. Features:
Everything works except the GPS software as noted. - Excellent running condition when checked by a BMW specialist in mid 2013. This car is quick for its size and weight and really moves on the highway with 6th gear. - Recently serviced at Reeves BMW Tampa w/ oil change, fluids top-off and 28-point checkup (mostly clear, items needing attention detailed below) - Clutch is smooth like butter. No grinding gears, automatic clutch makes for smooth, easy shifting all day. I've been very impressed by the manual transmission in this car, it is nothing like manual transmissions I have used in the past. Very much a luxury driving experience while still preserving the integrity of a manual transmission. - Black leather interior with wood trim, all clean and in great condition. No rips, tears or holes in seats or panels. Floor mats all present, clean, no stains, holes, burns etc. Clean non-smoking vehicle. All cabin lights work, all windows open/close automatically with single press. - Exterior in great condition, some small blemishes are visible when looking up close but nothing major. There is a rub along the bottom/underside of the passenger side lower panel, between the tires. Also a rub on the bottom of the corners of the front driver's side bumper, and front + back passenger's side bumper. They are along the bottom so they can't really be seen unless you are crouching down. See pictures. - All blinkers, parking lamps and exterior lights work except for the halos. - Paint and clear coat is good, car could use a real wax but there is no fading, dry spots or rust. Headlights look like the clear is coming off a little bit along the top, this is only visible up close in daylight. - K&N Performance Intake filter installed in November 2013 - Cabin microfilters both replaced in November 2013 - Premium Bosch windshield wipers installed September 2013 - Fresh oil change & fluids topped off at 96,800 miles at BMW dealership - Full spare in place in the trunk, unused. Also first aid kit in the trunk. Things to be aware of: - Needs rear brake pads, brake fluid and possibly rotors - Tires at about 30% tread, probably have a few months left in them. Currently Toyo Proxes, non run-flat. - Trunk needs shock strut replaced, currently swings open (simple replacement) - Oil dipstick seems to be stuck but I-Drive monitors oil levels like a hawk and alerts you as necessary so I've not needed it. - Pneumatic arms for the hood don't hold up, can be replaced or you can just use a stick/pole. - Xenon High- and low-beam headlights work but no halos - Needs new GPS disc - Only one key (original), battery is dead so remote doesn't work. - Wiper fluid sprayers don't spray (pump runs, nothing comes out) - Service engine light came on at 90k miles, asking for routine service check - AC needs recharge but feels fine in moderate temperatures and at night, cools down more after the car runs for a few minutes. Heater works fine. Clear title in hand, clean Carfax history. Well-maintained with routine maintenance and service performed as necessary, all previous owners have been mature adults. No accidents or body work. VIN: WBANA73594B048302 Buyer is responsible for arranging shipping and all associated costs, I can help with making arrangements as necessary. I can also deliver the car, email me to discuss cost. I think that covers just about everything. If there are any specific details not found here or you'd like photos of specific areas I will be more than happy to provide them to you, just shoot me a message or give me a call at (813) 508-1991. My name is Gabe. Thanks for looking! |

BMW Smart Charging App helps drivers charge for less
Tue, Jun 10 2014As electric vehicles proliferate and people try to conserve energy, moves toward smart charging seem only natural. Now, BMW is offering smarter charging, and it should mean more money in the pockets of its customers when they charge at home. BMW owners who drive one of the company's i vehicles will be able to use the BMW Smart Charging App that taps into a national energy rate database (powered by Genability) to allow drivers to automate charging during off-peak hours when electricity usage costs are lower. Charging vehicles at these lower rates could save drivers as much as $400 a year, BMW says. It's a simple idea, but one that could make BMW's EVs even more attractive to potential customers. The BMW Smart Charging App is initially available to customers who have leased a BMW ActiveE from the company's 2012 test fleet, a group whom BMW dubs Electronauts, and many of whom are also early adopters of the BMW i3. The app will then become available to all BMW i3 and i8 customers beginning in 2015. The Smart Charging App is integrated with the BMW i Remote App, which links with the BMW ConnectedDrive interface to also allow drivers to monitor charging times and vehicle status, adjust charging settings and even adjust vehicle temperature so the car is ready before the driver gets in the vehicle. The Smart Charging App is available for iOS and Android devices. Find more information in the press release from BMW below. BMW Launches First App to Automate the Home Charging Process for BMW i Electric Vehicles. 09.06.2014 BMW Smart Charging App Determines Optimal Times for Charging Electric Vehicles Based on Rates and Calculates Cost. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – June 9, 2014... The new BMW Smart Charging App makes it possible for BMW i customers to automatically identify the best rates and times for charging their electric vehicles at home. Developed by the BMW Group and available for Android and iOS devices, the BMW Smart Charging App is integrated with the BMW i Remote App, which allows drivers to get vehicle information via their smartphone. The BMW Smart Charging App has the potential to save customers as much as $400 annually on their electric bills. BMW is the first automotive manufacturer to offer this automated and fully integrated functionality. In its initial phase, the BMW Smart Charging App is currently available to BMW Electronauts.
Not just 'our logo on a sail': Automakers gain technology from America's Cup
Wed, Jun 28 2017HAMILTON, Bermuda - From water taxis that "fly" on hydrofoils to aircraft wings and cutting-edge car steering wheels, the America's Cup has produced technology with potential far beyond its "foiling" catamarans. With their focus on carbon fiber and aerodynamics, the teams that fought for the America's Cup attracted partners including planemaker Airbus and automotive groups BMW and Land Rover, who were keen to learn from them. One area where this is likely to have an impact is in harnessing "foiling" technology, where the America's Cup boats "fly" above the water on foils, cutting water resistance. "Foiling in small electric boats will most likely appear on rivers in major cities. We are just at the beginning of the foiling adventure," Pierre Marie Belleau, head of Airbus Business Development, who managed its partnership with Larry Ellison's Oracle Team USA, told Reuters. The space-age catamarans used in the 35th America's Cup, which ended in victory for Emirates Team New Zealand this week, can sail at maximum speeds of 50 knots (57 mph) and have more in common with flying than sailing."CARBON FIBER RELATIONSHIP" For Jaguar Land Rover, which sponsored British sailor Ben Ainslie's attempt to win the cup, the relationship is a strategic one with a focus on technology and innovation. "We don't just get our logo onto a sail," Mark Cameron, JLR's Experiential Marketing Director, said by telephone, adding that the carmaker would be providing more designers to help Land Rover BAR with technology for their next campaign. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly. It's all changing," Land Rover produced a special steering wheel for Ainslie to use in the America's Cup, with in-built gear shift paddles that allowed him to adjust the catamaran's "flight" levels. The relationship is similar between BMW and Oracle Team USA, with the German automaker focused on areas including the electronics in the wheel used by skipper Jimmy Spithill, the development of carbon fiber used to make the boat and its components, and the aerodynamic testing. "We like to think of ourselves more as a partner than a sponsor. We have a very strong carbon fiber relationship," Ian Robertson, who is the BMW management board member responsible for sales and brand, told Reuters between races. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly.
Recharge Wrap-up: BMW tests AdBlue pumps, Drivr is a Tesla taxi service
Thu, Jan 22 2015BMW is testing AdBlue pumps in Germany. AdBlue fluid is used to remove NOx from diesel exhaust, and it is stored in its own tank within the vehicle. Filling AdBlue is easy enough for drivers to do it themselves, and with the proliferation of diesel vehicles in Europe, a pump filling system could make more sense than using the current hand-held containers. BMW is testing AdBlue pumps at three fueling stations in Munich and Berlin to help develop further AdBlue dispenser technology. Read more at Green Car Congress. Drivr Green Personal Transportation is a Tesla taxi service in Cincinnati. Two former employees of Tesla Motors founded the startup, which bills itself alongside ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. Customers book a ride online, and are picked up by a Tesla Model S. The ride costs $2.50 per mile with a $15 minimum. Drivr currently operates three cars with seven drivers, with plans to lease another 10 Teslas and employ up to 30 drivers. The service will also be expanding to Denver soon, according to the website. Learn more at the Drivr website, or read more at Clean Technica. Ford is opening a research and development facility in Silicon Valley. The Ford Research & Innovation Center, which will be located less than three miles from Tesla Motors headquarters in Palo Alto, California, is expected to be one of the automotive industry's largest R&D facilities. "We're driving to be both a product and a mobility company, and ultimately to change the way the world moves," says Ford CEO Mark Fields. Read more at Automotive News. Law firms advising Fisker Automotive have been denied a $2.50-million fee enhancement in the car company's bankruptcy. Brown Rudnick LLP and Saul Ewing LLP were denied the extra fees, as a Delaware bankruptcy judge ruled there is "no evidence" that the firms provided anything more than what they originally expected. In denying the fee enhancement, the judge cited a "very high bar" for such awards. Read more at Law360.
