Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

This car does not look or feel like a 200K+ mile car. You need to see it in person. This car has been well maintained and is in excellent condition. Power and handling are excellent and the car is a pleasure to drive. The interior is in clean with no broken parts or tears. Carpet and headliner are like new. Reliability is impeccable. It has never had an issue.

This is the sport version with matching molding colors and an Group M tuned suspension. The 6 speed manual gearbox makes this a true sport sedan. The 5 series BMW is an extraordinarily capable car blending the best of a luxury sedan and a sports car. The 4.4L V8 engine is amazing providing power at nearly any engine speed. The suspension makes back road driving a thrilling experience. There are not many cars on the road that can hold 5 people and cruise at 100 mph this is one of them. This truly is a drivers car.

I have kept up on all maintenance on this car and fixed everything as issue arose. There is a new differential, new clutch, and new tires all in the last year. There is some cosmetic damage that has occurred in the last couple of months that I have not fixed as I cannot justify the cost since I am selling it. Specifically, there are two dents in the engine hood from where two broken fan blades impacted when the fan clutch seized. The mechanicals were repaired but the cosmetic damage was not. You can see the damage in the pictures. The is also a dent in the trunk lid from years ago that I just never got around to fixing. Other than those items the only mechanical issue is a strange whining sound periodically when the car is starting. I believe it has to do with the starter motor, it may be getting close to replacement time.

This car is great opportunity for someone who want to drive a special vehicle but not pay a premium price. This car was $58K new and it still feels like a premium German sedan. Honestly, I've never liked the body style on the new 5 series. This car has the strong lines and aggressive stance that says BMW.

These cars are capable of 300K miles easily so don't let the mileage get you. This is your chance to drive a great car at reasonable price.

BMW 2 Series specs leaked?

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

Thanks to spy shots from earlier in the year, we already know what the new BMW 2 Series will look like, but now we know a lot more about the coupe courtesy of an apparent BMW South Africa error and some quick-clicking enthusiasts. Though the information no longer appears to be posted on BMW's South African website, 2addicts.com managed to grab most of the details for the new coupe, including the model lineup, specs and most (if not all) of the options list for the upcoming replacement for the 1 Series.
Just like the latest 3 Series, the 2 Series model lineup starts at the 220i powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder, but the more exciting BMW figures to be the M235i with its 320-hp, 3.0-liter straight-six. With the automatic transmission, the info says that the M235i weights 3,240 pounds and will be able to accelerate from 0-62 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds - making it both lighter and quicker than the 135is currently offered in the US. The base 220i coupe should also be fun to drive with its 180 horsepower and sub-3,000 pound curb weight.
A quick side-by-side comparison of the dimensions for the base 220i with our current base 128i shows that the new coupe rides on a longer wheelbase (105.9 in. vs. 104.7 in.), is about two inches longer (174.4 in. vs. 172.2 in.) and is an inch wider (69.8 in. vs. 68.8 in.). 2addicts.com even shows available paint colors, interior trim options and lists pricing for South African-spec models. Head on over to the forum to check out all the info they have posted, but we expect the 2 Series to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show early next year.

BMW M235i Racing takes to the track

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Last month, BMW showed off a motorsports version of its new 2 Series Coupe called the M235i Racing. While that single image was obviously a rendering or design model, BMW Motorsports has now released a video showing the real deal being tested.
From what we can tell from beneath the camouflage, the wide-body fenders - to accommodate a 3.5-inch track stretch - are slightly different than the image BMW previously released. Still, the body is noticeably different from the stock coupe. The video, which is posted below, shows glimpses of the race-prepped interior, including a full FIA roll cage, but more importantly we get to hear the 333-horsepower engine and its throaty exhaust in action.

LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
