2003 Bmw M5 Fully Loaded, 89k Miles, Lemans Blue On Blue! on 2040-cars
Vernon Hills, Illinois, United States
|
For sale is a well maintained, lower mile, and quite clean example of a late model E39 M5. This is a close friends car that I helped him acquire, and he has asked for me to move it for him to make way for a new toy. I told him he'll regret it, to which his simple response was "I know".
Currently the car is with me in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. The car is LeMans Blue with the two tone blue/black interior, sitting with 87,2xx miles. She was purchased in November 2012 from an older gentleman who drove the car from his home in New Jersey to his home in the Miami area multiple times a year, so the majority of the mileage is truly highway cruising. The biggest plus was the clutch had been replaced at 75K miles by the previous owner, and though that's the one service record I didn't get from him (he did it at an indy shop instead of the dealer, and lost this receipt), I knew it was the truth right when I drove the car; clutch engagement is super crisp and drives exactly as a fresh one should. The car makes no vanos noises, non of that secondary carbon....just a smooth running powerful motor that one would expect especially from a 2003 I'm a professional concours level detailer on the side and I brought this paint back to life when he got the car, and have again refreshed it for the next owner (thankfully a lot less work this time around The interior is no less minty than the outside. The seats have minimal wear on the side bolsters, and truly only the steering and shift knob show the age of the car. I had the wheels refinished when he acquired the car, so they are absolutely minty and are shod in tires with 7-8/32nds of tread depth. No curbs, not even any chips honestly. The only damage other than expected rock chips and the occasional ding is on the front bumper; he was parking and got the front end just a bit too far into the overly tall curb, which cracked the lowest portion of the front bumper on the passenger side, and took the underplastic and exterior temperature sensor with it. Hard to notice unless you have the car on a lift. VIN: WBSDE93473CF92632 Here's a list of many of the maintenance stuffs done to the car that I have records for: 89k-Fuel Pump changed 86K-Oil changed 82K-Oil changed 80K-Fan Clutch Replaced 78K-Front wheel replaced, oil filter canister mounts replaced, oil changed 74K-Oil changed 67K-Front pads and rotors, thermostat, sunroof cassette assembly, front thrust arm bushings, oil changed The car throws an intermittent P1118 code for dirty MAF sensor. I cleaned the sensors and the light went away, but they need cleaning again (very simple DIY job) since the SES is currently on. Modifications wise, the car only has very minor things: -BnB Axle Back Mufflers (here is a sound clip from youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28rX-gidi5o) -DICE MediaBridge Bluetooth |

BMW preparing new M4 GTS with water injection
Fri, Mar 6 2015Last month, BMW revealed a new safety car for the MotoGP series. Only instead of just taking one of its production models and giving it some flashing lights, special livery and emergency equipment, the Bavarian automaker used the specially equipped M4 to showcase a new water injection system. And now word has it that the tech is being worked into a new M4 GTS. The system sprays water into the combustion chamber in order to lower the temperature of the air and increase the engine's efficiency, thus allowing it to produce more power without overheating, and relying less on ambient temperatures. It does require refilling a 1.3-gallon water tank in the trunk, though. According to Car and Driver, it's that same system that BMW will be installing in the new M4 GTS, taking the place of previous M3 GTS specials. If precedent is anything to go by, the M4 GTS will also be stripped of excess weight and feature a tighter suspension, stickier tires and more, in order to make BMW's muscle coupe even more hardcore and focused for the track. We could be looking at a debut as early as Pebble Beach in August.
BMW jazzes up the Z4 with Pure Fusion Design package
Sun, 15 Dec 2013While the new M3 sedan and M4 coupe may be the big news, they're not the only things that BMW has in the cooker. The Bavarian automaker has just announced a new special edition that serves to highlight the Z4 roadster.
Called the Pure Fusion Design package, the specially-equipped Z4 incorporates Nappa leather trim in ivory with brown stitching covering the seats, armrests and door panels. The lower dashboard is done up to match in white, with brown-accented black leather upper dash, window sills, sun visors and instrument surround. A brown leather line accents the interior, with Fineline wood trim.
BMW is offering the Z4 Pure Fusion Design in the unique shade of sparkling brown metallic pictured here, along with other available colors, and customers can combine the package with the M Sport pack as well. Scroll down for the full press release.
BMW planning plug-in hybrid versions of core models
Tue, Dec 2 2014To the casual observer, there's a sort of schism in the world of fuel sipping. The Japanese, Koreans and Americans have embraced electrification by way of hybrid powertrains, while our German friends lean towards diesel technology. BMW is actively pushing to change that impression, as it's announced that it will take a break from niche-busting MPVs and lifted, four-door coupes to produce plug-in hybrid versions of some of its "core-brand" models. This charge will be led by a 3 Series eDrive, whose innards are shown above, with BMW fitting a version of its turbocharged four-cylinder and an electric motor to its popular sedan. This, it should be noted, is quite a departure from the ActiveHybrid 3, which relies on a thirstier 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-cylinder. More specific details, such as the total system output, the electric range of the plug-in system or the amount of time it will take to charge, aren't yet available. BMW has, however, said the eDrive 3's systems are "directly based" on those used in the i3 and i8, and that includes larger components, like the lithium-ion battery and electric motor. "All BMW Group models benefit from BMW i. The fundamental technology involved in battery cells, electric motors and the power electronics will be used in our upcoming plug-in hybrid models," said BMW board member Herbert Diess. "When it comes to the electrification of the drivetrain, we are deliberately developing a wide-ranging expertise in order to offer our customers worldwide the ideal solution." BMW will unveil a prototype of the 3 Series eDrive in Miramas, France, although it's not clear when either it, or the X5 eDrive the company mentioned in its attached press release, will arrive to market. New generation of plug-in hybrid models Munich/Miramas. The BMW Group is preparing to follow up its innovative and revolutionary BMW i models with plug-in hybrid versions of the core-brand models. In Miramas, France, it will present a BMW 3 Series plug-in hybrid prototype and a new generation of hybrid vehicle concepts incorporating technology already used in BMW i models. Long term, the BMW Group is planning to offer plug-in hybrid versions of all its core-brand models. Herbert Diess, Member of the Board of Management BMW AG, Development, said: "All BMW Group models benefit from BMW i. The fundamental technology involved in battery cells, electric motors and the power electronics will be used in our upcoming plug-in hybrid models.
