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!!!

A look back on BMW, South Carolina and Southern manufacturing

Sat, 29 Dec 2012

It has been 20 years since BMW broke ground on its Spartanburg, SC manufacturing facility, and while the automaker doesn't have any plans to mark the moment, economists and industry analysts have taken a closer look at the facility's impact on South Carolina, the South and global manufacturing. As of November, the Spartanburg plant's 7,000 employees cranked out 25,000 vehicles per month, and BMW has poured some $6 billion into the state since the plant opened in 1993. While that figure nearly matches the state's proposed budget for next year, some say there have been drawbacks.
To begin with, South Carolina provided BMW with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of public money and tax breaks with little public oversight, setting a precedent that would repeat itself with other corporations. The Detroit News reports that a Pew Center evaluation found 26 states didn't have a sufficient system for evaluating tax incentive performance. But BMW opened the door for a Southern manufacturing renaissance, with automakers from Mercedes-Benz to Hyundai and Volkswagen opening plants in the Deep South.
While states have raced to offer ever sweeter tax and cash incentives for big manufacturers, officials say BMW is proof the system can pay dividends. You can read the full piece here.

BMW celebrates its awesome '80s M535i

Wed, Jan 7 2015

BMW recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of the M5 with a very limited, special edition of the super sedan. And even before the original version was transporting German executives at ludicrous speeds down the Autobahn, the folks in the M department tried their hand at improving the 5 Series with the M535i. Only offered in 1980 and 1981, the company made just 1,650 of these top-spec models, but they sowed the seeds for the future. In this video looking back at the M535i, you really see the automaker from a completely different era. As an outgrowth of the company's touring car racing efforts, the special model packs a 3.5-liter inline-six rated at 218 horsepower, a powertrain capable of accelerating the M535i to 62 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds via a dogleg five-speed gearbox. This take on the 5 Series is also a visual treat because it mixes the standard version's skinny A-pillar and thick C-pillar styling with some era-specific upgrades. The corduroy-covered Recaro seats and groovy multicolor stripes down the side, on the air dam and at the rear are especially fun touches. While the video's announcer is a bit dull, there's nothing boring about this rare, vintage BMW. Take a trip back in time with this clip, it's a nice bookend to the Petrolicious E28 5 Series family video we showed you yesterday.
