I bought this car on eBay a couple of months ago; I had owned one years ago and it stands out as the best car I have owned (and I've owned 22!).  In truth, it was an impulse, emotion-and-nostalgia-fueled purchase that I can't justify keeping given a busy work travel schedule, two small children, and a lot going on.  Here is your chance to own a REALLY nice classic 5-series and to let my rash decision get you a great deal. 

This generation 5-series is among the very best cars that BMW has ever built.  With proper care, the engines and transmissions last forever, the cars tend not to rust (this one has NO rust at all), and they offer a truly remarkable balance of sporty handling, luxurious appointments, and long-range comfort.  Check out what owners say about this car on consumer review boards such as Edmunds and you will see that this is a beloved car by many (including me).

This particular car is incredibly well-preserved.  It has 76,250 miles (it will have a few more by the time it sells) and had one owner until I bought it.  I had the car given a full run-through at my trusted local mechanic's shop.  He said that it is in great shape.  He installed a new battery, replaced the thermostat, performed an alignment, and gave the car an oil/fluids service. 

The ONLY problems I know of are an occasional "low coolant" warning light that is in fact a bad sensor in the radiator.  My mechanic says that it's a cheap part but one that will entail a few hours of labor, so I just ignore it when it comes on.  The coolant level is fine; there are no leaks, the radiator is in good shape, and the engine runs at the correct temperature.  It's just an old and therefore finicky sensor.  Also, the glove box has come off its hinge, so when it opens it hangs down.  It stays closed just fine.

Overall condition is terrific, as the pics show.  Up close, there are a few spots where the previous owner has applied paint touch-ups for road chips, but this is as nice as a 19-year-ol BMW can get without being a show piece. I would not hesitate to drive it cross country. 

My reserve is THOUSANDS less than I paid, because I paid high retail given the car's amazing condition and because I know that I'll never get dealer pricing for it.  This is a nice car that is reliable and well-cared-for.  I wish that I could keep it, but that just doesn't make sense for me right now and I am selling to undo my impulse decision.  My decision to sell has nothing to do with the car--it's great.  I bought it with my heart and not with my brain (or my wife's strong objections to a 3rd car) at the forefront of my thoughts.

You can pick the car up locally (in Middlebury, Vermont) or you can arrange and pay for shipping.  I am willing to discuss letting you drive it home on my plates and insurance if that helps, and I am certainly willing to help a shipper take delivery of the car for you.

There's no substitution for BMW's E30 Mmmmm3

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

If you told someone that you had a friend with a four-cylinder BMW who "would let me wash the car," and in exchange for the privilege then let you drive that clean BMW once around the block, your first question would probably be "What kind of BMW is this?" There's a chance you wouldn't be surprised once you found out the coupe in question was the E30 M3, a car our own Zach Bowman dubbed the "Mmmmm3."
Petrolicious talks to Gabor Mester about the car he fell in love with, a black version of the original "Munich mauler" that was owned by the parents of a high-school friend - oh, and Mester was also in high school when this washing and driving took place. When the original owners were ready to sell, Mestor was ready to buy, and he hasn't had a single regret about it since.
You can enjoy his story in his words in the video below.

Watch Emily Blunt and John Krasinski prank Jimmy Kimmel's SUV

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Jimmy Kimmel has a bit of a rivalry going with Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. Not like the "I'm on television, you're on the radio" one he has with his former Man Show co-host Adam Carolla (who of course has more to do with cars than the last name he almost shares with a Toyota economy sedan). With Blunt and Krasinski, it's more of a prank rivalry. The Hollywood couple, you see, live across the street from Kimmel, and they're all good friends. But come the holiday season, things get a little competitive. One year they broke into Jimmy's house and left an illuminated snowman and some sort of santa bear in his foyer. Jimmy retaliated, the Krasinskis escalated, and up and up things went until Jimmy had their entire house wrapped like a gift. John and Emily weren't going to leave it at that, though, and took things in a decidedly more automotive direction. They gift-wrapped the host's BMW X5 and filled it with balls. But they didn't stop there. You'll want to watch the footage above to see how things ended, just take note of the roll cage visible as Krasinski-Clause stumbles out of the car in that last scene and remember that, while we couldn't say no vehicles were actually harmed in the making of this segment, at least it doesn't appear to have actually been Kimmel's.

Jeremy Clarkson names 10 worst cars for 2015 and 2016

Wed, Aug 24 2016

When Jeremy Clarkson, outspoken automotive journalist, ex- Top Gear host, and co-host on The Grand Tour, drives a car he doesn't like he doesn't pull his punches. As Jezza harshly puts it, cars shouldn't just be a form of transportation. These 10 cars made Clarkson's "the terrible 10" list on his column in The Sunday Times for lacking imagination and not giving the journalist "the Fizz," which his list of top 10 cars did. In typical Clarkson fashion, the list is controversial. Some of the cars on Clarkson's list have received praise from other outlets, which shouldn't really come as a surprise since he usually goes against the majority's opinion. Nonetheless, there's at least one car that will catch you off guard. To get a glimpse at Clarkson's reviews and the entire list of cars, head over to his column in The Sunday Times.
