2005 BMW 545i loaded with every option available. 


I bought this car 4 years ago after a diligent search.  My requirements were:  6 speed manual, CPO, history with NO Idrive faults, no wrecks, immaculate condition, all options and Titanium Grey with grey leather.  I would love to keep it and drive it forever but sadly I am having knee problems and it is uncomfortable to drive this beast in town.  

Besides routine maintenance, a water pump and an idler pulley replacement this has been a very low maintenance vehicle for almost 70,000 miles I have owned it.  Most of my miles are highway.
Nice simple description why this car is awesome:
  • After market CORSA Exhaust.  Does not drone at all on the highway and sounds unbelievable when you get on it.  At normal driving is not to loud....but just enough to know that there is something different.  
  • Brand new Continental tires.  Less than 500 miles.  $900!!!
  • Factory short throw shit linkage and new ZHP shit weighted shift knob.  Shifts like a brand new car!
  • Paint and interior look unbelievable for the age of the car.  Please look at all of the pictures
  • Non-smoker, no eating and drinking rule in the car and no pets ever rode in it.
  • Sports package, navigation, logic 7 sound.  Loaded!
  • There is no way you car for the money than this one.
  • I am a perfectionist.  The first person that sees this car will buy it.
  • Crazy acceleration and handling with a wonderful ride.
  • Amazing enough it gets great gas mileage.  My record is 29 MPG on the highway!!!
  • $57,000 original MSRP!!!
  • Check out the review from car and driver if you just discovered this awesome car.  
So much good but just a little bad:
  • It has been in a very minor accident that may or may not show up on car fax.  The day after I bought the car I had another car brush against the driver side of the car lightly.  There was no frame damage and I actually drove the car back 500+ miles to get home.  The total repair was $1,700.  I have a copy of the repair estimate if you would like to review it.  I took it to the local Mercedes dealership that has the best body shop in town.  The paint matches perfectly, there is no overspray or tape lines.  You would have to be a used car dealership manager or body shop manager to see that it has ever been in an accident.   
  • The power steering has a very slow seep.  Every once in a while you will get an active steering fault in the winter or when it is really cold out.  It rarely does it when it is warm.  If the fault will clear when you eventually stop and restart the car.  You should be able to have this fixed at 100% for $500-$700.   (Think about free brand new tires that you did not pay for!)  :)
This is an awesome car and is up on its service and in fantastic condition.  Please call me if you have any questions.  865  three eight 4 7 four 2 5

Happy Bidding!!!

BMW 1 Series dead for 2014

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

BMW is temporarily abandoning the increasingly competitive and popular compact luxury segment, as it's announced that its 1 Series Coupe and Convertible will be discontinued for the 2014 model year, marking an ignominious end to a line that spawned a pair of excellent high-performance models during its life. Production on the Coupe officially ended in August, while convertible production was taken offline in June.
And while we're mourning the loss of the 1 Series, we're left wondering about the status of its replacement, the 2 Series. That car, which we've already seen inside and out and know the specs on, is expected to make its debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, although it's unclear just how quickly BMW will get it to showrooms. Assuming BMW doesn't have a bumper crop of already-built 2013 models to hold them over, that leaves Munich-based manufacturer somewhat vulnerable, particularly as Audi and Mercedes-Benz are both launching new models in the compact-premium space vacated by the 1 Series. Any delay in the arrival of the 2 Series could be bad news for BMW, especially if the public is receptive to the new Audi A3 and CLA-Class (early signs suggest that the baby Benz has traction).
In addition, BMW has made a number of changes across the rest of its lineup which are listed below in the official press release. Some of the notable changes, though, include a revised 445-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 on the 5 Series, a limited-edition Frozen Brilliant White Edition for the 6 Series and the rollout of a new, touchpad-equipped version of iDrive on a number of BMW models. Scroll down for the full press release from BMW.

Mazda6, Honda CR-V and an Autoblogger's BMW Z3 | Autoblog Podcast #620

Fri, Mar 27 2020

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by West Coast Editor James Riswick and Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. First, they talk about the cars that have been in their driveways, like the Mazda6, Lexus UX 250h and Honda CR-V, as well as Riswick's own BMW Z3 (where he actually recorded the podcast from). Then they discuss the news, which includes car dealers moving to digital commerce and other updates about — you guessed it — coronavirus, and how it's affecting the automotive industry. Finally, they take to Twitter to help a follower choose a weekend convertible for long, isolated drives in this week's "Spend My Money" segment.

BMW i3 starts near $35,000; NA first deliveries January 2014

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

While in Germany at the first early pre-production drives of the hotly anticipated BMW i3, BMW people finally hinted at a price ballpark. Numbers being tossed around by pundits have actually been pretty close to what BMW is discussing internally - between $35,000 and just over $40,000. We have been assured now that the base price, should one choose to buy and not lease in the Euro zone, is just over 35,000 euro, with some big taxes included in that price. In the US, the starting price for the fully EV plug-in version should be $34,500 or right thereabouts. In addition to new pricing, we've also gotten our best-yet look at the i3, with the freshly uncovered spy shots you see here.
European deliveries begin in November of this year for the fully electric version of the rear-wheel-drive i3 with 168-horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The e-motor mounted over the rear axle is supplied with energy by the 22-kWh lithium-ion battery pallet under the passenger compartment. Recharging happens in any of three ways: public or personal garage plug-in charge station (garage version not included in the price), the onboard system's Pro Eco mode that adds resistance to the drivetrain in a type of rolling brake energy recuperation, or through the normal brake energy and off-throttle coasting regeneration more common to EVs. Range on a full charge of this drivetrain is said to be upwards of 100 miles under hyper-miling conditions.
Perhaps the best bit of news is that the alternative, range-extending, two-cylinder 600cc engine supplied by BMW Motorrad for the hybrid version of the i3 - mounted in the rear together with the e-motor - will add only 2,000 euros in Europe and about $2,000 in the US. This is a range-doubling solution that could have brought a much higher price gouge, so thank you, BMW. The hybrid e-drive i3 version arrives a couple months after the full-EV launch version. Remember that, unlike the very similar system for the Chevrolet Volt, the system in the i3 supplies no mechanical torque to the driven axle and is only used as a generator (a system BMW first used last year in the 1 Series-based Active ). The US is seen as the clear number one market for the i3.
