1997 Bmw 5 Series 540i E39 White Pearl/tan 4.4l V8 Automatic, Low Reserve on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
RE-LISTED, WITH LOWER RESERVE
This listing is for a 1997 540i BMW e39, v8, automatic with the "S" transmission feature the car runs good the engine is strong, and so is the transmission the vehicle has a salvage title due to theft recovery back in 2002 it was repaired and driven and registered in california DMV until 6/11. it has been unregistered since driven on private property, occasionally turned on for good reasons i dont want the car anymore, ive done a number of maintenance repairs that come customary to this model vehicle like: valley pan gasket vanos gasket service valve cover gaskets all of the cooling hoses fan clutch cooling system flush replaced the radiator transmission service flush and probably more but thats all i can remember now. factory rims and tires, the tires have ok tread but i would replace since tires crack over time, the rims are in good condition the interior is ok, the leather has scuffs but no real tears except for small one on the driver seat back rest. mostly everything on the vehicle works as it should down to the details. the back rear passenger window elevator is bad the sunroof went bad a year ago, and i bought the whole replacement mechanism, its ready to install but i dont want to work on it anymore so i will be included in the sale of the vehicle for the new owner to do, ( i will put it in the trunk) the paint is custom white with gold pearl, looks really nice. but needs work. There is cosmetic damage to the front bumper cover and hood, (as you can see in the pictures) and the trunk lid has hard scratches and plenty of paint nicks from placing thins on the trunk. it will most likely need a new fuel pump, sometime in the near future, i replaced this one many times, BMW's dont like to be parked. AC blows air but not cold. The check engine light is on and the code says it needs the O2 sensor. dont remember what bank, but this will need to be done before it gets smogged for california. this vehicle is sold as is. with a low reserve customer to pick up, or some sort of pick up service can be accommodated the vehicle is in 92111 zip code in a business park. i have no problem taking it to a shipping yard/service or such local location as long as its not too far. Thank you for looking. |

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW i3 goes against Mercedes B-Class ED, Tesla good for business
Wed, Sep 17 2014Car and Driver has published a comparison test pitting the 2014 BMW i3 against the 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-class Electric Drive. The test not only measured the quality of the driving experience, but also all the quantitative details that are especially important when looking at electric vehicles. For instance, the Benz's real-world MPGe surpassed its own rating, but it still couldn't match the BMW. The B-Class, though, won in the range department. We won't spoil all the results, or Car and Driver's overall pick, but you can head over to the article to find out for yourself. Tesla's expanding business, including the Gigafactory being built in Reno, NV, is encouraging growth in the locales and associated businesses. Some of Tesla's suppliers are talking of relocation, wanting to be close to the action stirred up by the electric automaker's expansion. It makes good business sense to be in the same neighborhood as Tesla. "We can react quickly, and our engineers are constantly working with Tesla," says Futuris General Manager Sam Coughlin. Brookings Institute fellow Jennifer Vey says, "The land around Tesla is being redeveloped and reimagined. It's a mash-up of an anchor campus, startups, housing and transit, in a physically compact area where companies can cluster and connect." Read more at San Jose Mercury News. EVs are doing even more to reduce energy use clean up the air, according to new analysis from the Union of Concerned Scientists. According to findings, 60 percent of Americans now live in areas where EVs do more to reduce emissions than hybrids, up from 45 percent in 2012. Average electricity use is now 0.325 kWh per mile, down five percent from 2011. EV performance - in terms of mileage and emissions - is improving compared to traditional fuel vehicles, based on the sources of electricity in various regions. Read more from the Union of Concerned Scientists. Zipcar's carsharing network has launched in Paris. Zipcar is expanding across Europe, and has already established itself in Austria, Spain and the UK. According to Zipcar France's General Manager Etienne Hermite, "In a highly populated city, Zipcar's model has been proven to remove up to 15 personally owned vehicles from the road for each Zipcar in service, reducing parking demand, congestion and emissions." Zipcar European President Massimo Marsili hopes that most Parisians will eventually be just a short walk from a Zipcar.
2014 Dinan S1 BMW M5
Thu, 04 Sep 2014The last time the Dinan name graced the pages of Autoblog, Michael Harley was waxing poetic about the S3-R BMW 1M Coupe, a car that still stands in his ranks as one of the best cars he's ever driven. And that wasn't just because it was, you know, amazing. It's because as far as tuners go, Dinan produces some seriously well-executed products. Harley said of the 1M, for example, "It was so fully formed and well-rounded that it felt like BMW itself had made it."
Eager to sample some of these wholly wonderful wares, I cleared a few hours in my Monterey Car Week schedule and booked a date with the S1 M5 you see here - the (current) daily driver of Mr. Steve Dinan, himself. But unlike the S3-R 1M the company tuned previously, the donor car in question here is vastly different and, if I'm honest, not as good. See, I adore the stock 1M in a way words cannot express, but the standard-issue M5... good as it is, there are indeed a few flaws.
But after driving the Dinan S1 M5 around the Monterey Peninsula, I can confirm two things. First, Harley's conclusion that Dinan builds products that feel 100 percent BMW-spec is absolutely true. And second, Steve and the gang haven't just created a tuned M5, they've built a better one.
Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric equate BMW i3 with the Internet
Mon, Jan 26 2015BMW fancies its new i3 electric car as something revolutionary – which, to be entirely honest, it is. But while we as automotive enthusiasts might know this, the general populous may not, which is why the German company is shelling out what is no doubt a substantial sum of money for a spot during this year's Super Bowl. Starring former Today Show hosts Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel, the spot, called Newfangled Idea, focuses on another arguably misunderstood technology – the Internet. Starting with a now-humorous segment from 1994 that sees the pair discussing the then-new idea of the Internet – what does "@" mean? – Katie and Bryant then find themselves in an i3, asking very similar questions. Take a look at the video, up top, and then scroll below for the outtakes and a short behind-the-scenes segment from the clip. Related Video:
