2001 Bmw M5 - E39 - Silver Exterior - Black Leather Interior on 2040-cars
Lake Stevens, Washington, United States
|
I dreamed for years about owning my own Beast - E39 M5. I finally purchased this vehicle and lived the dream for two months as I commuted 15 miles round trip to work. Beginning in June, I started a new assignment with a 100 miles round trip journey. In fear of putting miles on the car and it depreciating rapidly, I bought a commuter and parked it in the garage for sunny days (rare in Washington State). However, as you can imagine it is a tease and cash tied-up when you cannot use a vehicle like this daily. So here it is on the open market for you to enjoy.
This Silver M5, with black leather interior, Alcantara headliner, and wood trim has only 59,400 miles. I purchased this car from its original owner (former politician in Seattle) who leased and then purchased it which demonstrates why the carfax suggests that I am the 3rd owner. When I purchased it, I had very little maintenance records from the prior owner so I immediately had a comprehensive maintenance completed. This maintenance consisted of seal replacements and flushes. Additionally, I had a new clutch installed as it was slipping. So, nearly $5k in costs later, you can see why I didn't fix the gas pressure issue and power mirror. Now, that said, I did "have" to spend $3k on exhaust, H&R springs (installed with an alignment and warranty), mint Michelin tires, and good condition E39 M5 wheels because for some reason the prior owner replaced the original wheels with aftermarket wheels and never put an exhaust on it! My price also includes a spare set of mint tires (Toyos) with the purchase. As a bonus, this car comes with a superb stereo system with rear-deck mounted sub-woofers with a tape deck and 6-disc cd changer, short throw, upgraded pedals, bmw rubber floor mats, M5 carpet floor mats, and a mounted radar detector (sensors installed on front and rear bumpers with the head unit installed in front of the gear shift). I am not desperate to sell my Beast but like I said, it is a tease and it is tied up cash. I hope to sell it to a proud owner who understands and appreciates the thrill of owning the greatest production sedan ever made. |

BMW-Toyota sports car heading towards Tokyo debut
Mon, 20 May 2013Earlier this year, BMW and Toyota confirmed a four-part joint venture mostly focusing on increasing improving vehicle efficiency using fuel cells, lightweight materials and better battery technology. Also tucked into the announcement was a "feasibility study" for a shared platform to underpin a future midsize "sports vehicle."
In terms of the latter, it seems that things have stepped up from the feasibility stage to the conceptual stage, as Motor Trend reports we could see a pair of new sports car concepts debut later this year in at the Tokyo Motor Show. There isn't much information about the new program, but the article suggests the sports cars could be all-wheel drive hybrids, with electric motors powering the front wheels and a gas engine powering the rear wheels. While a partnership between Toyota and BMW might not lend itself to a catchy portmanteau like "Toyobaru," here's hoping it will bear fruit that is as exciting as the ones produced by the Toyota/Subaru tie up.
Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision
Tue, 11 Dec 2012It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.
BMW i8 official images leak ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]
Tue, 03 Sep 2013The new BMW i8 plug-in electric supercar isn't set to make its official debut until September 10, when it will glide onto the Frankfurt Motor Show stage amidst a sea of flash photography. Of course, that isn't so true in today's world, where debuts are always preceded (often carefully) by "leaks."
Take this trio of images of the BMW i8 - there's just enough of the exterior on display in the profile shot to draw attention, without showing important styling points that might be present on the front or back of the car. The same goes for the video attached below. The cabin shot is cool, but isn't particularly earth-shattering when it comes to BMW interiors. As for the skeletal shot, we can see the 1.5-liter, turbocharged engine positioned between the rear axles, the battery pack found in what would be the transmission tunnel and the front-mounted electric motors.
We'll have a full set of live images when the BMW i8 makes its debut in Frankfurt next week. Until then, have a look in the gallery and at the video below, and let us know what you think of BMW's next big thing.
