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. |

BMW's Mini plant closes for 4 weeks for the Brexit that didn't happen
Mon, Apr 1 2019LONDON — BMW's Mini plant in Britain is closing for four weeks starting Monday in a move planned over a half year ago to help the company deal with any disruption resulting from Brexit, which has since been delayed. The German carmaker, which builds just over 15 percent of Britain's 1.5 million cars, moved its annual summertime shutdown to April to "minimize the risk of any possible short-term parts-supply disruption in the event of a no-deal Brexit." But Britain's departure from the EU has now been pushed back from March 29 until at least April 12 or potentially much later, scuppering the timing of major contingency plans for some carmakers. Shutdowns are organized far in advance so employee holidays can be scheduled and suppliers can adjust volumes, making them hard to move. "This is what our company and our workforce have planned for over many months, and it is fixed into our business planning," said a BMW spokesman. It represents the latest headache for Britain's once roaring car sector which had been on track for record production but since 2017 has posted sharp falls in sales, output and investment. The overwhelmingly foreign-owned industry has become increasingly incredulous as a stable and attractive investment environment descends into one of its deepest political crises, risking the free and frictionless trade the sector relies on. BMW's Rolls-Royce factory in Goodwood will close for two weeks whilst Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) three car plants and engine facility and Honda's Swindon facility will also shut for a few days this month as part of Brexit contingencies. It has been a turbulent few months for the sector after Nissan canceled plans to build a new sport utility vehicle at its English Sunderland plant and Honda said it would shutter its plant in 2021 in the biggest blow to the sector for years. Toyota provided a rare boost when it announced plans to build cars for Suzuki at its English car plant. BMW, which is also closing its central English Hams Hall engine facility and Swindon press shop and sub-assembly site for four weeks, has said it could move some engine and Mini output out of Britain if there is not an orderly Brexit. Carmakers face a number of risks if there is a disorderly Brexit, including delays to the supply of ports and finished models, new customs bureaucracy, the need to recertify models and an up to 10 percent tariff on finished vehicles.
BMW introducing i8 to US with Hello Future Olympics ad
Fri, Feb 7 2014It's not all unfinished hotel rooms and unconventional toilet situations at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. During the broadcast of the opening ceremony tonight, BMW is going to introduce the American TV audience to its plug-in i brand of vehicles. Of course, since we have things like Twitter and YouTube (which the Russian hosts might not be too happy about), you can already see the first spot below. BMW is going all-in on its Olympics ads, saying the campaign is the company's "largest media investment of the year." The first ad, called Hello Future, sets the words of science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke to an array of futuristic cityscape visuals before flashing the i8 onto the screen. Two other spots – called SHHH and Sightings – will also debut during the Games. Those have not yet been placed online, but BMW says that Sightings is about people "trying to describe something they have never seen before; something remarkable and other-worldly" (i.e., the plug-in i8). SHHH, on the other hand, is a short romance, about a "boy who sneaks out in his dad's quiet and all-electric BMW i3 as he tries to impress his dream-girl with the ultimate joyride. In the end, the joyride helps him win the girl." There's a twist, of course, which you can read about in the press release below or just wait until it appears on screen, trying to break through the banal advertising landscape, over the next few weeks. BMW has other connections to the Sochi Olympics as well, including designing the two-man bobsled used by the US Olympic team. There's a contest running regarding that project over on BMWTimeTracker. BMW Debuts BMW i Brand Campaign During NBC's Broadcast of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games First-Ever U.S. Television Commercials for BMW i to Begin Airing on February 7. WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Feb. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BMW of North America, the Official Mobility Partner of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), will tune into the Opening Ceremony of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games tonight at 7:30pm ET on NBC, which is expected to be one of the most-watched television events of 2014. During NBC's broadcast of the event, BMW is officially launching the brand campaign for the revolutionary BMW i brand with its largest media investment of the year.
