What I have for sale is my 2001 BMW M5 (E39) with just under 67,000 miles. This vehicle has been used for leisure driving since the day it left the BMW lot. Majority of its life was spent covered in my garage as a hidden trophy. The Titanium Silver Metallic exterior is in mint condition with no dents, rust, ect. The exterior of the vehicle is beautiful and stylish. Grab your magnifying glass and spend your day looking for a blemish, because you won’t find one. The interior of the car makes the other fully loaded vehicles in my driveway (2010+) look cheap and fake. The Silverstone leather interior is flawless with no cracks or tears. You can feel the quality of the material by running your hand along the texture of the seats as well as the suede headliner. The bucket seats provide supreme comfort ability while delivering the support needed for the monstrous power under the hood. Every single power function on the vehicle works without issue. You’ll need to flip through the manual because this BMW is fully equipped. There are no dead pixels in any of the displays (common BMW trait), nor are there any glitches with any of the gadgets. Let’s go right ahead and talk about the real reason you’re interested in this vehicle. The 5.0 V8 mated to the 6-speed transmission, turning this family sedan into a beast respected by every car enthusiast. This BMW is mechanically perfect, end of story. No funny business under the hood, this car was meticulously maintained. There was a new clutch installed at 50k, new brakes (rotors and pads), installed at 66,000, and new Continental DWS tires installed 300 miles ago. The only items on the vehicle that need to be replaced are the brake pad sensors. When the brakes were replaced, the incorrect sensors were purchased. Since the brake performance wouldn’t be affected, I decided to have the brake job completed without the sensors and have them replaced at the next oil change. The two sensors are cheap and simply require the removal of the wheel to install. The title is clear and this vehicle has never been in an accident. I encourage you to contact me and set up an appointment to look at this beauty yourself. I guarantee you’ll fall in the love the second you hear the exhaust tone. Message me for any questions and concerns. Thanks for looking!

BMW just the latest automaker to realize China will want a lot of EVs

Fri, May 30 2014

News about China and cars isn't in short supply these days. With several of the world's largest cities, millions of cars on the road and huge problems with air pollution, it's no wonder that the nation is trying to make some changes. Along with decommissioning many of its aging vehicles, China is also expected to see huge growth in its electric vehicle market. BMW, as other automakers already have done, sees this as an opportunity to sell more cars. "We expect that the Chinese car market for electromobility will become the largest markets for those cars in a few years," says Karsten Engel, BMW's China head. BMW is collaborating with Shanghai's State Grid municipal power company to put public EV charging points at the former World Expo site, and the city plans to create 45 more by the end of the year. These will charge many different vehicles made by BMW and other brands. Tesla, which began delivering its Model S to China last month, plans to build its own supercharger network for the country. BMW plans to begin selling the battery-powered i3 and i8 plug-in hybrid in China this fall. BMW hopes to sell more than 400,000 vehicles in China this year. Fewer than 1,000 of those will be the i3, though, says Engel, due to a lack of supply. So far, China is falling drastically behind its own targets to get EVs on the road. With a goal of 500,000 by 2015, fewer than 70,000 EVs are currently operating in China. This numbers gap doesn't necessarily mean that the demand is or isn't there yet, but more and more automakers are betting it will be, and soon. Volkswagen is planning a fleet of electrified models for China by 2018 (at least 15 models according to Bloomberg). Daimler is teaming up with China's BYD to build EVs (and, of course, Your Dreams). Other Chinese companies are getting into the game as well.

BMW pondering hardcore M4 to celebrate 100 years?

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

2013 is the year for Lamborghini, Aston Martin and the Porsche 911, but 2016 will be the year for BMW. That's when the Munich-based maker of the Ultimate Driving Machine will celebrate its 100th birthday, with what will probably be a year-long celebration. Part of that 365-day party will, reportedly, be an even hotter version of the new BMW M4, which is set to debut in January at the Detroit Auto Show.
Yes, according to Australia's Car Sales, the über-M4 has been hinted at by higher-ups at BMW's M division, who claim the rear seats will be removed, much like the M3 GTS, while other weight-saving measures will be used to try and bring the M4's weight below 3,000 pounds. There's no mention of engine mods, but if the M4's biturbocharged six is as good as we think it'll be, that's not a deal-breaker for us.
The lightening process on the so-called M4 GTS would involve replacing the hood and front fenders with parts made of carbon fiber, while the doors would switch from steel to aluminum. Besides the deletion of the rear seats, Car Sales is predicting lightweight racing buckets, with a carbon-fiber shell and a minimal amount of padding. Expect lots and lots of Alcantara, in place of leather.

2015 BMW M3 squares off against Alpina D3 in gas vs. diesel throwdown

Sat, 26 Jul 2014

There was a time when diesel meant one of two things: This vehicle's owner either wants to save some money at the pump or needs to haul massive loads. It definitely did not mean that the owner of said machine wanted to drive fast, but that perception has slowly but surely been changing over the last several years, with automakers from Volkswagen and Ford to Audi and BMW offering spiced-up versions of their high-compression, turbocharged diesels.
It's that last automaker we mentioned that's the subject of the video you'll see down below. One bright-blue BMW M3 was procured by the Brits at Autocar, and it was lined up against a deep-black Alpina D3 (which we sadly can't buy in the US) in a spate of tests, including acceleration, stopping, sound and lap times on a closed circuit. The results, which we won't spoil for you, were enlightening, and were followed up by personal impressions from the man behind the wheel.
We know you're curious. All it takes to find out which of these 3.0-liter, twin-turbo-powered 3 Series variants came out on top is to scroll down below and watch. You know what to do.
