1998 BMW 540 - 6 speed manual transmission
In on trade at VSR Automobiles Inc. in Toronto is this very nice and clean 540i with a 6 speed box. This is a very fun and fast car to drive. Don't let the high kilometers fool you. This BMW has ben very well maintainned and has a strong motor, transmission and clutch. I have been happily using this BMW as my driver for months and only now have I put it up for sale. This is a fun, and cheap toy for BMW fanatics like myself. I have only done a couple of small mods like an M-spoiler and also new, blacked-out kidney grills. It has approx 309,800 kilometers and I have put on a few thousand with no issues. The silver exterior is very clean and rust free with just a few scratches here and there common of a car this old with these KM. It appears a couple of panels have been painted such as the front passenger fender. This car comes with a clean accident report from carproof. It also comes with the books and extra keys. Overall it is very nice. The interior is equally as nice. It does have one thing that i've never seen on any of the many 540's ive bought and that is cloth interior!!! It acually is very nice and great in the winter! There is some ripping on a couple of the seats but it is very, very nice overall. Everything including all power options, AC, heat and windows work. The only item I found not working is one of the passenger seat power settings. The car is fitted with 17" wheels with very good Michelin winter tires. No other sets to come with the car. The check engine light is also on. But again, I have been driving this car, had it checked for safety and it won't need much for an ontario safety. Lot's of clutch left and the motor is strong.
This auction is set up ONLY to accept reasonable offers. I will NOT give this car away and have no problem driving it, but if I get the right offer it's gone! Please ask all questions prior to making an offer. Have all funds in place, look over the vehicle if needed PRIOR to making an offer. Please do not waste my time as I promise not to waste yours. This is a good old car. I sold my last two 6-speed 540's for VERY good money and this one is MUCH nicer so please no low ball offers. I can arrange shipping anywhere in Canada at a very good dealer rate. Please email me your postal code for a quote. Car can be viewed anytime by appointment only at my lot at 1974 Dundas St. West. Always best to call first. This car is selling as-is where it is. My company policy is to not safety or etest any old cars.
Thanks for looking,
Vasco,

BMW expounds on i8 design and performance in new videos
Fri, 03 Jan 2014At this point, there isn't much we don't know about the 2015 BMW i8, so BMW is starting to focus its attention on reassuring consumers that the future of BMW won't abandon the past. In these two recently released videos, BMW answers questions prospective buyers might have about about the new model's design and performance.
In the design video, BMW explains how the i8's styling is intended to be practical, with aerodynamics and fuel efficiency in mind, yet still have a sporty and dynamic look. The performance video aims to show that the plug-in hybrid can be fuel efficient while still delivering plenty of performance, and it shows an animation about how the i8's drive systems work together. Scroll down to watch both videos on this bold green supercar.
BMW M5 arrives in Monterey packing 600 hp and matte paint
Fri, 15 Aug 2014What's a sure-fire way to make a vehicle better? Well, you can add power or make it more exclusive. BMW has done both, just in time to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the legendary M5 sedan.
Only 300 examples of the car you see above, the M5 30th Anniversary Edition, will be sold to the public, and those lucky owners will enjoy the most exclusive, most powerful M5 ever made. Power continues to flow from the standard M5's twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8, which has had its wick turned up to 600 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. The sprint to 60 now happens in just 3.7 seconds, which is still a scarcely fathomable speed among sports cars, let alone comfortable, finely upholstered sedans.
Speaking of that upholstery, Alcantara and leather seats and an Alcantara steering wheel identify the exclusive M5, while special sill plates further call out the car's unique spec. Outside, the standard Competition Package adds 20-inch wheels and black chrome badges, while 30th Anniversary Editions wear BMW's Frozen Dark Silver matte paint.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
