Hi there. Hope all is well.

My name is Steve Lang. I have been an auto auctioneer, automotive journalist and car dealer for a very long time with 100% positive Ebay feedback for well over a decade now. for the majority of you who don't know who I am, feel free to Google "Steven Lang and auctions."

I have been in the car business since 1999 and have thankfully met a lot of wonderful folks along the way. My customers have flown in from Montana, Washington State, Canada, and even one fellow who took a vehicle purchased for $1576 and drove it cross-country back to southern California.

Every once in a while, I get a vehicle that should go directly to an enthusiast who is willing to maintain the car up to manufacturer spec. This 1995 BMW 540i is one of these cars.

Like every older rare vehicle I sell on Ebay, the new owner of this 540i will appreciate the care given by the prior owner and will hopefully keep this older vehicle in good working order as a instead of just locking it up as a neglected museum piece. This is one of those cars that deserves to be driven and experienced by those who will value and care for it.

To be brutally blunt, this 1995 BMW 540i looks like it was stuck in a time warp. No I'm not exaggerating. Take a look at all the pictures, and feel free to contact me if you would like to see additional ones as well. This 5-Series was put in a family trust where it remained an occasional driver for nearly 14 years (3,500 miles a year).

The interior is the cleanest I have ever seen on this vintage of BMW's, and the exterior looks about commensurate with a four to five year old model.

The tires are Kumho Ecsta LX Platinums that have about 90% of their tread left and the car is remarkably absent of any of the groans that come with older suspension systems that have gone through the rigors of pothole ridden roads. This one has been well cared for and the overall condition reflects a car that is likely within the top 2% of all BMW's of this vintage.

Carfax has this 540i recorded as a one owner with one accident (no I don't use Autocheck because their accident histories are incomplete) that took place approximately a decade ago. However the repair was done to OEM spec and the car has been kept in excellent condition since (see pictures).

NOTE: I am selling only this to an enthusiast... and yes, I really do mean that. If you are a grandparent looking to enable your progeny please go immediately to the Ford Escort wagon listings which will gladly afford your young one with a nice basic ride. These models are neither basic nor cheap, which brings me to the terms for this auction.

Next-gen BMW 5 Series sedan spotted with production body, possible PHEV

Fri, Dec 12 2014

The current BMW 5 Series is just a few years old since its 2009 debut, but the Bavarians are already preparing to put the model out to pasture. Here's our first glimpse at the production bodywork for the next-gen sedan after spotting the wagon version during testing – twice. While the cladding and swirling camouflage make specific details difficult to discern, it doesn't look like we should expect any massive changes in design language from the new model. The nose appears to dip a bit more at the tip of the front end, but otherwise there's no way to mistake this as anything other than a 5 Series. Squint hard enough at the front left fender and you can notice what seems to be a small door. Our spies think that this might be hiding the charging port for a plug-in hybrid version. While the styling doesn't appear to be changing much, the next 5er reportedly has a new platform underneath the skin that supposedly will help it shed around 220 pounds. The debut for this lighter but likely similar looking BMW is expected sometime in 2016.

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe is ready for your favorite roads

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

We've known about the ins and outs of the lovely BMW M6 Gran Coupe for a while now, but that doesn't mean we weren't happy to see the thing in the metal for the first time, here in Detroit.
The M-tuned Gran Coupe utilizes the same 4.4-liter forced-induction V8 that powers both the BMW M6 and the M5, with an output of 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. The fast four-door brings up 60 miles per hour in just 4.1-seconds - the same sprint time as the M6 coupe and a few tenths quicker than the M5 - and up to a limited top speed of 155 mph.
We love those performance figures - this is one new Bimmer that we're amped to get some seat time in - though we're not super crazy about the selection of chrome wheels on this particular show car. Tells us what you think about the hotted up Gran Coupe in comments, below.

Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards

Sat, 06 Jul 2013

More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.
