I'm selling my pride and joy 2001 BMW 540i Sport Wagon with Authentic Alpina Package and other extras. I have the pink slip in hand and the car has a clean title, no accidents.
The car is a prime example of how clean and well maintained a sought after BMW should be. It's very clean and runs very well and strong. According to BMW it is 1 of 406 made in 2001 but I don't know the count for actual sport models made in 2001, I'm assuming it's a small list.
All of the main maintenance needed on a E39 540 4.4 V8 have been done and taken care of. The car has had a preventative engine overhaul and will be fine for at least another 80k miles engine wise. I have the maintenance history for the time I have owned the car as well. The car has no mechanical issues besides the signs of wear that come with a 10+ year old car. The car comes from a car (BMW) enthusiast who has meticulously taken care of the car. She rolls smooth with no shakes. The car is adult owned.
My car was also featured in Frank Ocean's album teaser last year. Email me for the youtube link to view the video.
Here is a list of the parts on the car:
Authentic Alpina bumper spoiler
Authentic 20" Alpina Softline wheels (tires are 5 months new)
Custom exhaust with custom made quad Alpina muffler tips
BC Racing 30 way adjustable coilovers for comfort or sportiness on your demand (you can adjust to your preference)
Akebono brake pads (low dust and keeps wheels spotless)
iPod/ iPhone hook up
10" Kicker subwoofer and 400w Kicker crossover amp for subwoofer (made for speaker)
Model description
Titanium Silver exterior
Gray sport interior
Sport seats
with wood trim
M steering wheel
Tiptronic tranny
Self leveling rear suspension
4.4 V8
My car is probably the only 540 sport wagon with real Alpina parts in the US, I think. I don't know of any other around like this one here in the USA and I'm a car enthusiast.
Without some parts we can negotiate another price. But the car will come with all oem parts that were removed, including the 17" style 32 wheels and tires plus suspension parts and the stock resonator.
Price $12,900 obo (with all the extras which are worth over $6,000)
I prefer cash if you are a local buyer here in Southern California but wire transfer and paypal will work as well. I'm also open to showing the vehicle to local buyers.
Any offer is a good offer, just call me so we can talk about it or buy it now though ebay : )

BMW planning to stretch i3 into i5 family hauler?
Sat, 30 Nov 2013If you're sweet on the new BMW i3 but wish it had more space to carry people and stuff, we've got good news for you. According to Autocar, BMW is planning on stretching the platform that underpins the i3 to create a new model, expected to be called i5.
The stretch job would add an extra four inches of legroom in the back and another six inches of rear overhang to the benefit of cargo space. The result would create a vehicle longer than the current Mini Countryman - although the next Countryman is likely to be even larger. As Autocar points out, the process of extending the i3's composte passenger cell likely wouldn't be as difficult or cost-intensive as lengthening a conventional metal chassis, although the rear doors would need to be re-engineered.
Whether the resulting vehicle would more closely resemble a hatchback, wagon, minivan or something in between remains to be seen, however BMW is said to have already registered the nameplates i1 through i8, signalling that the possibility is at least there to add more members to its new EV family.
2014 BMW i3
Thu, 24 Oct 2013We can only imagine the challenges BMW is going to have explaining the i3 electric vehicle to the world. It's got a new powertain (all-electric, with optional range extender), a new production method (carbon fiber reinforced plastic!), a new brand (the 'i' line) and a new vehicle type (it's a city car). Despite everything that's different, BMW is still trying to talk about the i3 as if it fits in with the rest of the company's vehicles. But it doesn't. Not really. And that's going to make the marketing and salespeoples' jobs quite difficult.
Which is a shame, really, since the i3 is amazing. If it didn't carry the BMW 'heritage' baggage, people would be falling over each other to sing its praises. This is one of the smoothest, roomiest and slickest electric vehicles we've ever driven, with a lot of hidden surprises. It is a wonderful city car, and well designed for the car-sharing, emissions-aware drivers of the near future. But since the i3 carries the BMW name, everyone we ran into while cruising the narrow streets of and flat countryside around Amsterdam in a Euro-spec i3 recently wanted to know one thing: is it "a BMW" as well as being an electric car? During one photo shoot, a police car pulled up next to us, totally stopping traffic. While my co-driver and I instantly thought we were going to be asked to move, the officer simply wanted to know what the scoop was about all the i3s he had seen that day. Oh, and does it drive like a BMW?
We'll answer that question in detail below. The most important thing to remember is that the BMW i3 comes from the new "i" sub-brand within BMW. Like Mini, the i line really is a different beast, despite the roundel's presence. So, what makes a BMW a BMW? The answer is as easy as ABC. Or, in this case, as simple as Bayerische Motoren Werke, or Bavarian Motor Works.
2016 BMW 7 Series spied for the first time ever
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Ladies and gentlemen, Bimmerphiles and automotive voyeurs of all stripes: here is your next-generation BMW 7 Series. Captured in photographs for the first time ever while doing a spot of cold-weather testing in Sweden, this newly slim 7er will most likely debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2015 and launch in the 2016 model year.
Sources indicate that BMW is targeting a much lighter curb weight for the 7 Series, and will use learnings gained with the i3 and i8 development to add carbon fiber-reinforced plastics in the construction. In return we'd expect the new model - which uses the internal model designation "G11" - to offer improvements in handling, acceleration and fuel economy. As with the current 7 Series lineup, expect the engine range to include turbocharged inline-six engines, one or more V8s and a V12 option.
It's fair to say that, with the car's debut still years down the road, that BMW will work to launch with an impressive suite of in-car technology, too. A completely new version of iDrive shouldn't be ruled out. These shots mark the beginning of a long journey to 2015, and we expect to have loads more information to share in the coming months and years, so stay tuned.
