2006 Bmw M5 Base Sedan 4-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Lake Bluff, Illinois, United States
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! VIN# WBSNB935X6B583968 |

M235i outpoints 911, Corvette in CR testing, becomes highest-scoring BMW ever
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Good news just keeps coming for BMW, as Consumer Reports has just handed out a stunner of a verdict - the M235i, a spritely, 320-horsepower coupe that starts at just $43,100 has bested the likes of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and Porsche 911, vehicles that can easily cost twice as much and come to battle with considerably more power.
CR awarded the spiritual successor to the 1 Series M Coupe a score of 98 out of 100, beating out the 911 and the Stingray by three and six points, respectively. In fact, the M235i is remarkably close to the Tesla Model S' 99, making it one of the highest scores CR has ever handed out. It's also, not surprisingly, the highest-rated BMW ever.
Of the M235i's many attributes, Consumer Reports cited the car's performance potential as well as its quiet ride and comfort for front-seat passengers. While it's a shock to no one, CR called out the limited space in the backseats as well as some finicky controls as this Bimmer's biggest shortcomings.
BMW rolls out new M4 safety car for DTM
Mon, 05 May 2014Ever since revealing the M4 on nearly five months ago, BMW has been hard at work getting its new muscle coupe out on the track. It's made a touring-car version to compete in DTM and a safety car to set the pace at MotoGP races, and now it's combined both into a new safety car for DTM as well.
The ninth M4 on the DTM grid is based on the production version, but fitted with numerous upgrades over the course of a two-month conversion process. For starters, it's been equipped with nearly exterior component from the M Performance Parts catalog, including the quad-tipped exhaust, front splitter, rear spoiler and diffuser, blacked-out grille, special mirror caps, side sills... the works. But that's not the end of the story.
BMW M GmbH also gutted the interior, removing the rear bench and replacing it with a roll cage. It's got a pair of Recaro racing buckets with Schroth harnesses, plus special LED emergency lighting, radio communication system and, of course, special livery (albeit nowhere near as cool as the MotoGP one) to distinguish it as the official safety car when it makes its debut at the Nürburgring on August 17.
Jeep Grand Cherokee, BMW i8, Ford F-150 win 2015 Green Car Awards in DC [w/video]
Tue, Jan 27 2015There were three shiny trophies handed out at the Washington Auto Show last week by Green Car Journal, and they went to three different examples of what "green" means in the automotive industry today. The Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel won the award for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year, the BMW i8 was named the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year and the Ford F-150 took the 2015 Green Car Technology Award honor. There is a case to be made that the aluminum body of the new Ford truck will make a bigger impact in the overall fuel usage in the US than almost any other vehicle, given the numbers of F-150s that Ford sells each year. The B20 biodiesel-capable Jeep gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. And the i8 puts all sorts of new, fuel-saving technologies into an attractive package. Looking over the winners, and the list of finalists you can see in our photo gallery, and you can see that the definition of green is expanding every year. You can watch Green Car Journal editor Ron Cogan hand out the 2015 awards in the video below and we'll for sure be paying attention to what wins next year. 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year and Green Car Technology Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has named the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel its 2015 Green SUV of the Year™ and the BMW i8 its 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year™, with the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 earning the magazine's 2015 Green Car Technology Award™. Winners were determined by a jury of Green Car Journal editors and automotive experts. The prestigious awards were announced in Washington, D.C. today at a Green Car Awards™ press conference held during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day at the Washington Convention Center. "These are truly commendable vehicles representing the 'best-of-the-best' in so many ways," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The auto industry's very early focus on small cars and efficiency-for-environment tradeoffs has evolved to now include a more dynamic field of 'greener' models in all vehicle classes. Those wanting greater efficiency or better environmental performance are no longer constrained by limited choices or vehicle types that fall outside their top purchase preferences.
