For Sale is my immaculate 2006 BMW M5 V10 SMG. This car has over 550 horsepower. I bought this car in February of 2013. It is fully loaded and in excellent condition. I have invested about $7,000 in after market upgrades, cosmetic upgrades and general maintenance, still under an extended WARRANTY.

This car has also always been garage kept and only driven on nice days. This car needs absolutely nothing done to it. I also have a documented used car inspection performed by Auto-Trader. I am the second owner of the car. Since I have owned it I have fixed several things. When I first purchased the car from a dealership without a warranty I experienced some issues with it shortly after getting it home (hence why this car is a better deal than a car you will buy from a dealership). I had a BMW Master Technician replace the battery, alternator, electric fan and also add the under drive pulley, replaced both belt tensioners, installed new belts and new coolant. Anyone who knows anything about this car can tell you that this is an enormous job that would have cost over $5,000 at a BMW dealership.

The following has been done to this car since I have owned it:

New battery $500

New alternator $500

New electric fan $1,000

New Hood Struts $100

BMC Filters

RPI Scoops and block off plates $370

RPI Underdrive Pulley $455

(both belts replaced)

Tensioner Pulleys (2) $300

Blacked out Kidney Grills $150

Blacked out Side Vents $150

Blacked out BMW Emblems all the way around $150

Blacked out M5 Badge $75

Tinted Windows $300

Painted black brake calipers and rotors $100

20x10 rear Powdercoated wheels

20x9 front $2,000

Hankook Ventus V12 eve Rear Tires 275 30ZR20

Front Tires 245 35ZR20

(tires have 60-80% tread life left)

The car also has a fresh oil change ($170) and also a fresh interior and exterior detail ($300). Brakes have over 65% of life left. I have all service documents and receipts for the car since I have owned it. I also paid to have the front license plate bolt holes filled and painted (previous owner ran a front plate). Car is in excellent condition. One minor scratch about 1/2 inch long on the drivers side rear door and a minor scuff on the rear bumper from loading a suit case.

This car is priced competitively for the reason that it is turn key. You may find a cheaper car from a dealership like I did a year ago but then you may be in the same boat that I was soaking almost $3,000 in parts to fix a car that a dealership didn’t want to fix. These cars are extremely expensive to work on and all of the work has been done to this one. I purchased a warranty for the car shortly after fixing all of the parts for some extra insurance. The warranty is transferable for an extra $1,800. The warranty covers everything on the car bumper to bumper. I am selling the car to free up some money for a start up business, no other reason.

Please serious buyers only, I am firm on the price and will hold onto the car as long as it takes to get my full asking price. You will not find a nicer looking and performing car out there for this price that you can drive and not worry about soaking any money into. Only the best and genuine parts used on this car. I will accept cash, cashiers check or a loan from a bank. Thank you for looking!

Mini nixes plans for 7-seater, Countryman to stay largest model

Sat, 08 Mar 2014

Contrary to popular belief, it seems that Mini's growth plans do have a limit both in size and number of models. During the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it unveiled the six-door Clubman concept (pictured above) that was 4.4-inches longer and about two-inches wider than even the current Countryman crossover. Mini design chief Anders Warming says that this is the new size limit for its models, and the BMW subsidiary isn't building a larger, seven-passenger vehicle above the current Countryman.
"We won't build anything bigger than the Countryman, not at this moment. You should be able to park a Mini in a city, so a Countryman or this new Clubman is as big as it should be," said Warming to Auto Express in Geneva. Rumors going back to last November, pegged the Mini as developing an even larger vehicle to take on mainstream CUVs.
While Warming is ruling out a bigger Minis for now, a smaller one like the Rocketman concept still might be in the cards. He said that the project has been warmly received but still had to be investigated because "it's a numbers game." So if bigger Minis aren't coming, there still might be a slim chance for a smaller one.

Which car should win 2015 World Green Car of the Year?

Wed, Apr 1 2015

There were three finalists for the World Green Car of the Year announced about a month ago at the Geneva Motor Show: the BMW i8, the Mercedes-Benz S 500 Plug-In Hybrid and the Volkswagen Golf GTE. With the New York Auto Show upon us and the winner scheduled to be announced tomorrow, we thought it's high time to ask our readers which one should win. There were seven other vehicles named to the finalists list: the Hyundai x35/Tucson Fuel Cell, the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, the Audi A3 Sportback E-Tron, the BMW X5 xDrive40e, the Kia Soul EV, the Nissan e-NV200 and the Opel Adam 1.0 Direct Injection Turbo ecoFLEX Start. Would you have named one of these to the top three list instead? POLL 14386429 Green BMW Mercedes-Benz Volkswagen 2015 ny auto show world green car of the year vw golf gte
