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:

  •          Convenience Package with Comfort Access System and automatic door closing
  •          Sport Package with leather trimmed steering wheel, shadowline exterior trim, increased speed limiter and selectable dynamic suspension
  •          Driver Assistance Package including adaptive xenon headlights, optional heads-up display, active blind spot detection signaling, lane departure warning system, collision warning system, and front, side and rear-view cameras
  •          Cold Weather Package with heated rear seats, steering wheel, and headlight washers
  •          Professional Sound and Navigation System featuring voice control, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, Bluetooth mobile phone and media integration (iPhone, Blackberry and Android) via BMW Apps, and a variety USB and auxiliary inputs.

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 online at GoodmanReed.

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.

EVO takes flight in BMW's sultry i8

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Electric cars and hybrids are here to stay, much to the apparent dismay of some auto enthusiasts, but that doesn't mean they have to represent the death of enjoyable driving. Granted, the initial run of hybrids in the US like the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius weren't exactly tailor-made for aggressive folks behind the wheel, but things are clearly changing. In its latest video, Evo takes a look at three examples from Europe's new crop of electrified vehicles to show that the future of fun motoring is safe and sound.
Evo editor Henry Catchpole kicks things off with one of the most bizarre EVs of the bunch, the tiny Renault Twizy. Its low power and 50-mile-per-hour top speed might make it miles away from a hot hatch, but there's still fun to be had in extracting the most from this little city car. Next up is the Audi A3 E-Tron, which isn't technically available yet. It's a step in the right direction of eventually creating an affordable, fun-to-drive hybrid hot hatch.
However, the main event is Catchpole getting some seat time in the BMW i8. The Bimmer can really fly -literally in this case - and the butterfly-door coupe offers a clear look at the prospects for electrified sports cars. It might not have the power of hybrid supercar contemporaries like the LaFerrari or Porsche 918 Spyder, but the BMW doesn't cost nearly as much, either. See? Improved efficiency doesn't have to mean boring.

Toyota passes BMW as most valuable car brand

Tue, 21 May 2013

An annual market study of the strongest brands across various industries has seen Toyota leapfrog BMW as the world's most valuable automotive brand. Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category. Volkswagen was the only other auto brand that finished in the top 100 overall, in 100th place. Audi made the greatest percentage gain over 2012, up 18 percent to $5.5 billion, but finished outside of the top 100.
Technology companies dominated the overall list, with Apple, Google and IBM ranking one through three. Couture brand Prada was 2013's biggest gainer, rising by 63 percent over 2012.
