HISTORY: I purchased the car from local BMW dealer in 2007 with 46,358 miles. Documented 1 owner trade in with a copy of original title as sold in Little Rock April 2000. BODY CONDITION: There are a few door dings and a small crack in the front spoiler. I have not had any thing touched up or concealed after 6 years of hobby use. I do drive it and If you want it near perfect $500 to $1,000 with a top paint and body guy that knows how to blend panels should do it. I think a buyer would prefer to see the all original paint to know what he is buying. There are two exceptions. Someone recently pointed out that the M5 emblem is too high on the decklid so I checked out the rear of the car super closely and discovered (after 6 years of ownership) that the decklid has been repainted. The only way I could tell (because the paint job is a perfect match) is that the barcode behind the license plate is painted over. The paint work is so good I suspect the vertical portion was blended in and the top portion is original. I have no idea why and suspect it was for a minor dent or scratch. There is absolutely no evidence of any damage. The hairline split in the front spoiler was there when I bought it and I had it repaired and the front spoiler only repainted the first month I owned the car. He was not a great choice and the job he did has just been OK, but we are talking spoiler only here and the crack reappeared when I nudged a curb one day last year. This is only seen on close inspection. MECHANICALS: Most work performed at dealership except recent suspension work by a certified BMW independent shop. I did not even know these existed until this one opened by a certified "defector" tech from the local dealership. The only issues with this car is the SES light is on and has been professionally diagnosed (coded) from both the local dealership as well as the independent as cold air secondary port contamination. I have recently began using KB44 gas additive (look it up on the internet) in conjunction with a strict no ethanol 92 octane gas diet. Aftyer only 2 tanks the SES light went off for most of a 160 mile jaunt through the mountains, on the freeway and only reappeared after another 10 miles of city driving. I believe the carbon is breaking up and keep in mind these are monitoring passageways built into the heads that are in use less than 3 minutes when the car is cold. It is emmissions monitoring only and does not effect the cars performance. Brakes are good, tires are nearly new, new ball joints, thrust rods and rear link. The car runs strong, never any vanos or any other issues. INTERIOR: This is not the E39 platform's strong suit and it has the usual broken cup holders as well as one quarter glass sunshade does not retract and one of the visor mirror light switches works when it wants to. There is the normal "ballglove" type creases in the leather. I personally like the aged leather look, but suppose this could be made to look new again with leather dressings. I have only used clear leather treatments without any stains. Amazingly, no light pixels are out. Car does have Navigation with original disc and 6 CD changer set up on original sound system. WHEELS and TIRES: 18" custom matched Zenettis (current prices are aropund $2,000 for a set - super high quality) made specifically for E39 M5's or E39 540i's with sport package. The exact correct offset of the original wheels. I do not have the original wheels. The tires were installed 8/13/12 and are Cooper RS3A's.

BMW teases 2 Series Coupe ahead of October 25 debut
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Although it was finally just confirmed that the last of the BMW 1 Series coupes and convertibles went out of production months ago, we won't have to wait very long to see this model's replacement, the all-new 2 Series. BMW released a teaser video for its new coupe today and also announced that the 2 Series will officially debut on October 25.
We may still have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to see it up close and in person, even though both the Los Angeles Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show are nearly upon us. Either way, it's not clear when the 2 Series will roll into dealerships. Considering we've already seen the coupe sitting out mostly undisguised for a photo shoot, there really isn't much to see in terms of styling of the car in this sun-drenched, dirt-slinging teaser. BMW does say that this is the first trailer ahead of the 2 Series' unveiling, so there are likely to be more to follow the video seen below.
U.S. tariff threat hits European automakers' stocks
Thu, May 24 2018FRANKFURT, Germany — A U.S. warning that it may introduce tariffs on foreign auto imports hit shares in German carmakers BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen on Thursday, which together have a more than 90 percent share of North America's premium car market. Washington said on Wednesday it had launched an investigation into whether car and truck imports are a national security issue due to signs they had damaged the U.S. auto industry. That could lead to new U.S. tariffs — up to 25 percent — similar to those imposed on imported steel and aluminum in March. BMW and Daimler shares fell as much as 3.1 percent in early Thursday trading, while Volkswagen's dropped as much as 2.5 percent. "(U.S. President) Donald Trump is obviously not thinking about how to prevent a trade war. Import duties on cars would be a nightmare for the German auto industry and would lead to a massive sales impact," said Thomas Altmann at Frankfurt-based asset manager QC Partners. BMW on Thursday condemned the move to consider tariffs. "The BMW Group is committed to free trade worldwide. Barrier-free access to markets is therefore a key factor not only for our business model, but also for growth welfare and employment throughout the global economy," it said. Daimler, which makes Mercedes-Benz cars, and Volkswagen, which makes upmarket Audis and Porsches, were not immediately available for comment. German carmakers produced 804,000 cars at local factories in the United States and exported 657,000 German-made cars into North America last year, according to German auto industry association VDA. China took pains on Thursday to welcome German firms and investments, with Premier Li Keqiang talking up relations after a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. BMW and Mercedes have expanded production capacity in the United States, but BMW, Audi, Volkswagen and Daimler have also invested billions to build new factories in Mexico in the hope of selling locally produced cars into the United States. German carmakers hiked vehicle production in Mexico by 46 percent to 620,000 cars last year, while production levels inside the United States fell by 6 percent to 804,000 cars because of a shift to Mexico, according to the VDA. BMW has its biggest factory worldwide in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and is the largest vehicle exporter among all the carmakers in the United States measured by value of goods exported. More than 70 percent of BMW's U.S.-made cars are exported.
Formula E gets wireless-charging BMW i8 safety car [w/video]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Racing series typically select a safety car appropriate to the kinds of racecars for which they'll be setting the pace. So you might find a Mercedes SLS pacing a Formula One grand prix, for example, and you're more likely to find a BMW M4 on duty at a DTM race and a Chevy Camaro or SS on an oval speedway for a NASCAR or Indy race. It would only stand to reason, then, that the FIA Formula E Championship kicking off next month in Beijing would press a plug-in into service as its safety car. But the organizers didn't go for your run-of-the-mill Nissan Leaf or Toyota Prius.
No, the safety car for Formula E will be a BMW i8 specially modified for the occasion. As you can see from the video below, the hybrid sports car packs a full roll cage, racing buckets with harnesses, special communications systems and on-board fire extinguishers. But that's not all.
In partnership with technological partner Qualcomm, the Formula E support fleet - including two examples each of the i8 and i3 - will feature inductive charging. So while one is out on the track, or at least sitting at the end of the pit lane waiting to be deployed - the other will be charging wirelessly. The vehicles are still pending FIA approval, and only one has been outfitted with the Qualcomm Halo wireless charging system (with the others to be retrofitted later), but they were all on hand for the recent practice race at Donnington Park.
