Offered
for sale is a gorgeous, virtually flawless, completely original 2012 BMW 550i with
just 20,586 miles and finished in lustrous Titanium Silver Metallic over
luxurious Black Dakota Leather with Anthracite Wood Trim. Borrowing significantly from BMW’s new
7-series, BMW’s latest generation of the iconic 5-series sedan offers many of
the finer appointments of its more sophisticated big brother while retaining
the sleeker, more agile frame 5-series drivers have long cherished. Purchased new and always garaged and
maintained by its current owner, the car is being sold with the remainder of its
4-year / 50,000 mile factory warranty. Harkening
back to an earlier time when BMWs shared a cleaner, more unified look across
the model range, Adrian Von Hooydonk’s new F10 5-series is defined by crisp,
muscular lines complemented by a low, aggressive nose with signature dual
kidney grills. This car’s subtle and
sleek Titanium Silver Metallic body remains completely original and nearly
showroom flawless, marred only a few negligible paint chips that one would expect
on a gently used, well loved car, none of which are distinguishable in the photographs. While
clearly a performance machine on the outside, the interior cabin has witnessed
nearly a complete overhaul. No longer a
mid-level sedan, the spacious cabin, high cowl, multiple interfaces and
luxurious appointments make the car feel as if it's a 7 Series Lite. Driver and co-pilot are greeted by BMW’s
optional 18-way heated, power seats and presented with the sweeping dash featuring
both BMW’s traditional analogue instrument cluster and optional heads-up
display, flanked by an intuitive center control screen utilizing BMW’s updated iDrive
interface system on the center console. BMW
has made great strides in improving iDrive from previous version with a simpler
more direct menu system, and has also included redundant controls for the audio
system and climate controls in-dash just below the navigation screen. Although
the complete list of features on this car would be too long to list, in
addition to BMW’s exhaustive set of standard features this car also includes:
Mechanically
the car is in excellent condition.
Although the F10 is larger than its E61 predecessor, its performance
numbers are nearly identical. Continuing
BMW’s legendary driving performance, the F10’s 4.4-litre, 400bhp, twin-turbo
V-8 with 8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission catapults the car from 0 to
60 mph in a quick 5 seconds continuing to 100 mph in a mere 11.4 seconds (for
those sportier drivers, the quarter mile will take you approximately 13.5
seconds at 106.8 mph). The car has
always received the manufacturer’s suggested maintenance at BMW dealerships and
is entirely turn-key and ready to be driven. Whether you’re specifically in the market for a gently used
5-Series, or you’re just looking for an exceptionally comfortable, well engineered,
performance oriented driving machine, this car deserves your serious
consideration. We
want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and
answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us

Motorcars We’ve
always had an appreciation for classic and sports cars and over the years have
created an eclectic personal collection, affording us the opportunity to meet
many other interesting enthusiasts, including the owner of this 550i. As such,
this is a consignment car and can be seen by appointment at our warehouse in
Santa Barbara. We try to give accurate descriptions of the cars we’re selling,
but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and we encourage and are happy to help
facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before
bidding, as the alternative harms our ability to make sales to other interested
parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding. For
U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the
auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end.
Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end.
Buyer is responsible for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with
recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the
right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end.
Thanks for your interest. |

BMW reacquires original factory as classic center
Thu, 27 Feb 2014BMW was barely two years old when it started manufacturing airplane engines in a factory on Moosacher Strasse in Munich. Two years after that, it sold the factory to Knorr-Bremse AG, a leading manufacturer of brakes for trains and commercial vehicles, and BMW moved into a new facility on Lerchenauer Strasse. There it expanded into the industrial giant we know today, building engines for cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and planes. It's taken the better part of a century to get that original factory back, but that's exactly what BMW has done, reacquiring the expanded facility from Knorr-Bremse this month.
The factory on Moonsacher Strasse will now serve as the headquarters for BMW Group Classic, the division that handles archives and historical vehicles for BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce. From there, just a stone's throw from corporate headquarters and its main plant (as well as BMW Welt and the BMW Museum), the classic division's operations will include a restoration workshop, vintage parts store, the company's archives, administration as well as a place to hold events. In addition, there will be an exhibition space for historical vehicles from the company's considerable collection.
At the heart of the new/old campus is the gatehouse, which is a protected heritage site and will serve as a gateway into the company's history. Read the full details in the press release below.
Recharge Wrap-up: Renault ZOE wins Zenn Monte-Carlo Rally, BC revives EV rebates
Tue, Mar 24 2015Renault ZOE EVs took the top four places in the 2015 ZENN Monte-Carlo Rally. Renault's cars finished first in consumption, regularity and overall standings. ZOEs took the top four spots overall and in the regularity tests, and the top five places for consumption. Renault entered four teams - two with professional drivers (finishing first and second), one piloted by journalists (placing third) and another by bloggers (taking seventh place). Another individual team entered the race with their own ZOE and finished fourth overall. The electric vehicle race took place over 130 miles and seven and a half hours. Read more in the press release from Renault below. British Columbia has reinstated its Clean Energy Vehicle Incentive Program. Phase two of the program, which starts April 1, is expected to put another 1,700 plug-in cars on BC roads. It's funded by the province's Innovative Clean Energy Fund, which gets its money from carbon taxes. Customers can receive rebates of up to C$5,000 for EVs, while fuel cell vehicle customers could get back up to C$6,000. Drivers can also get up to $C3,250 for scrapping cars built before 2000. BC is also investing in more charging infrastructure, EV fleets and outreach. See the video above, and read more from British Columbia government website and at Green Car Reports. BMW is noticing increased sales of its i3 EV tied to government incentives for electric cars. "We can see a clear connection between sales figures and political initiatives," says BMW Group CEO Norbert Reithofer. "Wherever governments offer tangible incentives for e-mobility, the registration figures for the BMW i3 soar." Last year, BMW sold about 2,000 i3s in Norway and 3,000 in California. In Germany, where BMW only sold about 2,100 i3s, Riethofer suggests the government needs to do more to support clean cars. "The German carmakers have delivered their part of the bargain. The ball is in now in the court of policymakers," he says. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Renault ZOE takes the top four places in the 6th ZENN Monte-Carlo Rally Following a sparkling victory last year, Renault ZOE has put in yet another remarkable performance at the 2015 ZENN Monte-Carlo Rally with four ZOE models taking the top four spots.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
