 I am the owner of this vehicle and am selling it privately.  I am not a dealer.  I purchased this vehicle from a BMW dealer as CPO in 2010 and am the second owner.  The car is in very good condition and has all maintenance records.  The interior is excellent, no visible scuffs or marks.  The exterior is very good, I would say about average to a little better than average for a car of this year.  It has a few stone dings on the front but nothing that can't be touched up. There are no dents anywhere on this vehicle, even where the paint might be dinged.  The bumpers are good, 1 or 2 minor dings but nothing major.

This car has never been in an accident and has never had any body work or damage repair of any kind.  The high pressure fuel pump has been replaced on this car.  As anyone who knows these cars is aware, the E60's had fuel pump problems and these pumps were replaced by BMW at no charge.  This car is all set and has also been recently serviced in the last 5,000 miles. 

It has the cold weather package and sport package including the sport seats, steering wheel and sport tires/wheels.  The front and rear wheels are staggered with the sport package meaning that the rear tires/wheels are wider.  This car has Z rated BFGoodrich Comp T/A's on it with about half their life left on them.  The brake rotors were replaced at the last brake service and the brake fluid was flushed and replaced.  This car has always had synthetic oil and it has always been changed at intervals of 7500 miles.  The car had new spark plugs and air filter put in about 5,000 miles ago. The car really needs nothing and runs beautifully and is ready to go.

This car was garage kept by me and has nice glossy paint and no signs of fading or cracking in the interior.  I had an SUV as a second vehicle so I never drove the car in the salt/sand during the winter.  Most of the miles I put on this car were on the highway traveling upstate to my various job sites.  All of the interior options work perfectly including the sound system, A/C, heat, seats, windows, locks and controls.

If there are any questions I can answer about this car, please let me know. I am a straightforward honest individual, check my ebay feedback.  Do not bid on this car unless you can produce a cashiers check for the full amount within 5 days of auction end.  The car is located in southwestern Connecticut, I can help facilitate shipment but the shipment would be at your expense on your carrier.

BMW celebrates its awesome '80s M535i

Wed, Jan 7 2015

BMW recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of the M5 with a very limited, special edition of the super sedan. And even before the original version was transporting German executives at ludicrous speeds down the Autobahn, the folks in the M department tried their hand at improving the 5 Series with the M535i. Only offered in 1980 and 1981, the company made just 1,650 of these top-spec models, but they sowed the seeds for the future. In this video looking back at the M535i, you really see the automaker from a completely different era. As an outgrowth of the company's touring car racing efforts, the special model packs a 3.5-liter inline-six rated at 218 horsepower, a powertrain capable of accelerating the M535i to 62 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds via a dogleg five-speed gearbox. This take on the 5 Series is also a visual treat because it mixes the standard version's skinny A-pillar and thick C-pillar styling with some era-specific upgrades. The corduroy-covered Recaro seats and groovy multicolor stripes down the side, on the air dam and at the rear are especially fun touches. While the video's announcer is a bit dull, there's nothing boring about this rare, vintage BMW. Take a trip back in time with this clip, it's a nice bookend to the Petrolicious E28 5 Series family video we showed you yesterday.

The Homer to contest 24 Hours of LeMons

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

It's finally happened. A 24 Hours of LeMons team has built the definitive interpretation of The Homer from The Simpsons for competition in an upcoming race. As you may recollect, The Homer is the fictional car designed by Homer Simpson for his brother's car company. Designed with a separate compartment for screaming children and other Homer-centric goodies, the animated machine bankrupted its parent company and put Homer's brother out of a job. Now we get to watch it race other crap cans as it tackles Southern California's Buttonwillow Raceway on June 29. Scott Chamberlain, Kris Linquist, Reid Conti, Ben Reilly and Mike Yepes will helm the machine, and Jeff Herman serves as the team's creative director.
The racer is the latest incarnation of a well-abused BMW 3 Series. The team campaigned the same E30 under the "Prickstine" banner as a Chrysler Imperial tribute and "Porcubimmer," the latter being a riff on the ever-popular joke about the difference between porcupines and BMW models. Never gets old. You can check out a video of the finished Homer below, and be sure to like the team on Facebook to see updates from the race. Now, about that Canyonero...

Why are all US-bound BMW i3 EVs with range extenders stuck at port?

Tue, May 20 2014

The first BMW i3 EVs have been delivered in the US, but in a quirk of the rules, none of them have been the range-extended versions. Long-time BMW electric vehicle driver Tom Moloughney discovered this fact the hard way. His i3 REx has been sitting at a New Jersey port for over a week and he's getting impatient. The problem is something Moloughney calls a "Monroney Hold." So, instead of sitting there fuming, Moloughney did a bit of research and discovered that the problem is something he calls a "Monroney Hold." He says that "the EPA certification has not been completed so BMW doesn't have a Monroney label (window sticker) to post in the window before the car leaves the port, which is required by law. The range extender option changes (shortens) the car's electric range, and also requires an official MPG rating so BMW couldn't use the same Monroney label as they did for the all electric i3." You can read more on his website, but it turns out that the story isn't so simple. For one thing, the EPA testing has been finished. Washington State representative Chad Magendaz told Moloughney that he asked the EPA for an official statement and got the following from Linc Wehrly, Director of the Light-Duty Vehicle Center Compliance Division: "EPA tested the i3 REx and provided the results of that testing to BMW on May 13th. EPA is not aware of anything that would prevent BMW from importing the vehicles since May 13th." Then there's the official word from BMW. Spokesman Dave Buchko told AutoblogGreen that: We are moving as quickly as possible to release the first BMW i3 Range-Extender models to BMW i Centers. Receipt of test data from the EPA is one step, but not the final step, in the process of receiving certification from the EPA. Rules do not permit the release of vehicles for sale until EPA labels are finalized, produced and affixed to any vehicle. Barring any unforeseen delays, we expect that to happen by the end of this week. We have never certified a vehicle like this before. We are taking every precaution to make sure that everything is done in a timely, but more importantly correct manner. In that Monroney labels cannot be produced until the EPA certification process is complete, the characterization [of a "Monroney Hold"] is not technically incorrect, but there is more to it than that, as is often true in life. On a lighter note, BMW donated a loaded i3 to Brad Pitt's Make It Right charity foundation as a fundraiser. Read about that below.
