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. |

2017 BMW M760i xDrive is an M and a 7, but not an M7
Wed, Mar 2 2016It's still not a proper M7, but the BMW M760i has a lot to offer. For one, it comes with BMW's silky smooth, 6.6-liter V12, good for 600 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. It looks elegant, even in its Geneva Motor Show-spec shade of matte gray. In terms of baller status Bimmers, this is top-shelf stuff. Or is it? As I discussed in the earlier M760i post, the newly announced Alpina B7 xDrive has just as much power, is quicker to accelerate, and will run to a higher top speed. No, it doesn't come with that awesome V12, but it's a frickin' Alpina, complete with those super rad 21-inch wheels. But I digress. The M760i xDrive (that's all-wheel drive) is quite a beast to behold, and I'm sure it'll stack up nicely with the Mercedes-Benz S600s and Audi A8 W12s of the world. Check it out in the galleries above and below. View 18 Photos The All-New 2017 BMW M760i xDrive. - Superb performance and exceptional luxury combined. - The allure of the most powerful BMW V12 production engine. - First BMW 7 Series M Performance Automobile. Today, BMW announced the all-new BMW M760i xDrive, the latest addition to the BMW M Performance line-up. With the introduction of the 2017 BMW M760i xDrive, the sixth generation BMW 7 Series adds the first M Performance TwinPower Turbo 12-cylinder to its offerings. The all-new BMW M760i xDrive combines luxurious driving, style, safety and innovative technologies while embodying M Performance dynamics with the integration of the first 12-cylinder gasoline engine with M Performance Twin Power Turbo technology. The BMW M760i xDrive will arrive early in 2017 and MRSP will be announced closer to launch. The allure of the most powerful BMW V12 production engine. The M Performance TwinPower Turbo 12-cylinder gasoline engine in the new BMW M760i xDrive has a displacement of 6,592 cc, developing 600 hp (preliminary figure) at 5,500 rpm and peak torque of 590 lb-ft from as low as 1,500 rpm. These performance figures enable the luxury sedan to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.9 seconds (preliminary figure) and on to a governed top speed of 155 mph. During the development of the all-aluminum block, the engineers focused on maximizing rigidity while also minimizing weight. Using a closed- deck construction combined with bolts holding the cylinder head down on the bed plate of the crankcase, the engine ensures maximum stability on the cylinder liners.
BMW Concept Active Tourer Outdoor enjoys a day in the sun
Wed, 10 Jul 2013This BMW Concept Active Tourer has evolved for the nature and cycling set and premiered at OutDoor Friedrichshafen, a trade fair in held this month in Germany. The sturdy wagon is tweaked with new materials, accessories and ConnectedDrive features for those who do a lot of their living under the sky as opposed to inside their cars.
Under the hood is the same plug-in hybrid drive system we've were introduced to in 2012, featuring a transversely-mounted, 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor and a battery pack under the rear compartment floor. Total output is 190 horsepower and 147 pound-feet of torque headed to the front wheels, a claimed time from zero to 62 of under eight seconds, a pure electric range of up to 19 miles, a top speed of 124 miles per hour and claimed fuel economy of around 95 US miles per gallon.
The space behind the rear seats is the showcase, with a transformable compartment that can stow two bikes on built-in, retractable carriers. Remove the front wheel and seat from the bikes, then the frames can be locked into place using two rails and brackets. The wheels can be stowed in a holder attached to the right rear seat, the saddles can go into a compartment in the load floor. If you need to make a quick adjustment or a fix, you can do so since the bikes are aligned across the load bay.
BMW M2, we're happy to see you
Wed, 03 Sep 2014I recently spent some time behind the wheel of the BMW M235i and, well, I didn't love it. Sure, it's a great car, but I just didn't truly bond with it the way I have with previous M cars. What I had hoped for was a proper successor to the 1 Series M Coupe I fell in love with in 2011, but what I got instead was just a sporty 2 Series that didn't exactly stir my emotions in the same way.
But now there's this: the honest-to-goodness BMW M2. Previously, spy photographers captured a development-mule M2, but this is the real thing, in its full prototype body. Notice the aggressive front fascia that mimics the M3/M4, the more more robust wheel/tire package, and the M-standard quad exhaust outlets around back. This thing sure does look the business.
Details are slim as of this writing, but rumors suggest power will come from BMW's now-ubiquitous N55 turbocharged 3.0-liter six, with output somewhere in the 360- to 380-horspower range. The seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission seems like a good fit here, too. As does a six-speed manual transmission (here's hoping).
