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. |

2014 BMW 328d xDrive Sport Wagon
Fri, 11 Apr 2014There's a running joke among auto writers that the perfect car would be a diesel-powered, rear-drive wagon with manual transmission and no power accessories whatsoever. It would only be available in brown and would somehow be as fun to drive as a Mazda MX-5 Miata. Makes total sense, right?
Realistically, no manufacturer is ever going to completely fulfill our wishes, no matter how much we beg, plead, kick and scream about our dream car that most of us would actually never buy. The best we can do is hope for a vehicle that mixes some aspects of this ideal journalist's car. And in today's world, that vehicle just might be the BMW 328d xDrive Sport Wagon.
No, it's not available with a manual gearbox, and power can only be sent through an xDrive all-wheel-drive system. It's also not available in brown (although both Mojave Metallic and Sparkling Bronze Metallic are acceptable stand-ins), but it ticks the two main boxes of being a diesel-powered wagon, one of only a couple such models in the United States.
Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan
Sun, Dec 14 2014Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below. TrueCar finds pickup trucks far outsell premium brands among top 10 vehicles over $50,000 Ford F-Series pickup sales over $50,000 surpass combined BMW 3, 5, 7 Series luxury car sales SANTA MONICA, Calif. (December 10, 2014) - TrueCar, Inc., the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform, finds mainstream pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles dominate U.S.
