PRICED TO SELL!
You are looking at a well maintained, very fast BMW 540i V8 4 door sedan. This car is an eye catcher. Very fun to drive! Currently has 179K miles.

With almost every option available and more, this car will exceed your expectations!

It has the sport package which includes a sport-tuned suspension, black body trim, seat memory package, and the carbon fiber instrument cluster inlays. The transmission has the steptronic addition for more aggressive driving if desired. It has 18" staggered wheels and tires (8" wide front, 9.5" rear), the same size as the M5 model, which gives a sleeker, lower look as well as greatly enhanced handling. This car corners extremely well and has stability control in the rare case you lose any traction.

Other notable upgrades/options:
Premium 12 speaker DSP sound system
Aux input available (runs through cassette, but you wouldn't know it)
Xenon headlamps
Rain-sensing windshield wipers
Sport driver seat
Aluminum plated sport pedals
Professionally installed window tint

Recent servicing has included front rotors, rear tires, spare tire, coolant replacement, and alignment. Oil change done about 2K miles ago.

The previous owner (20K miles prior) had the car serviced by BMW and included over $1500 in repairs. Notable service included new radiator, new radiator hoses, new thermostat, new tie-rod ends and center, new wheel bearings, new control arm bushings, new e-brake, new gas flap lock acutator, new front windshield rubber trim, and new alternator. This service was done a few years ago, but it does illustrate that the typical items of maintenance for this model BMW have been addressed during the life of the vehicle.

Minor issues currently present:
Rear driver side door lock actuator not working
Spotty pixel displays on the radio and dash (common issue with this model)
Missing hot/cold adjustment buttons
Outside air temperature sensor incorrect
Rear cup holders broken
Clear coat peeling on passenger door
Small paint scratches/chips (tried to do my best with pictures)
Small dent on front of hood
Rust spot under the edge of the trunk (only rust present on the vehicle)
Some flaking of the clear coat and scraping on the wheel rims
Airbag light is on; doesn't affect funtionality

Feel free to contact me for questions/offers. Open to reasonable CASH offers, absolutely no trades! Shipping responsibility of the buyer, but I'm happy to work with you!

Check out 90 years of BMW Motorrad in 90 seconds

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

After ninety years in business and first-to-market motorcycle innovations like the one-piece 'tunnel' crankcase, hydraulically dampened front forks and full fairings, as well as that trademark boxer engine, BMW Motorrad is celebrating its nonagenarian status with a video: You can follow the ride on BMW motorcycles from 1923 to now in just 90 seconds.
Okay, so there's more than a video - some anniversary-themed bikes and a new retro boxer model celebrating the R 32 "airhead' from 1923 also commemorate the occasion. But you can start with the video, and that's below.

Why BMWs are cheaper than Hyundais in Korea

Sat, 18 May 2013

Bloomberg reports shifting tariff regulations have upended the traditional automotive pecking order in Korea. Thanks to cheaper import taxes, foreign brands have seen market share jump from 28 percent to 41 percent over the last two years. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have all capitalized on the shift, with domestics like Hyundai and Kia suffering at the hands of their German rivals.
Taxes on European imports have fallen from 8 percent in 2011 to just 3.2 percent today. Over the next few years, tariffs will all but be eliminated for most imports, and taxes on US-made vehicles are expected to fall to just 4 percent in 2014. By 2016, that number will be zero. Needless to say, Hyundai and Kia are concerned about the shift.
Hyundai has seen profit fall by 15 percent last quarter, and the company says it is on pace to see the slowest sales growth since 2007. The company's shares have fallen by 12 percent. In order to stem the losses, Hyundai has discounted its midsize sedans and started working on diesel engine options.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
