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 |

BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe proves that 3-2=4
Mon, 14 Jan 2013BMW may be calling this 4 Series Coupe a concept, but take a long, hard look - this will be the car that replaces the 3 Series Coupe in the automaker's lineup. Don't let that number change trip you up. This car will have all the basic elements of what makes a 3 Series coupe so popular, and while this isn't technically the production model (there are still come conceptual elements and we don't have powertrain details), it's pretty much what we can look forward to seeing out on the road very soon. And honestly, the naming strategy isn't that weird (though it's still plenty odd) - BMW will be using even numbers for all its coupes and convertibles moving forward. 1 Series, meet 2 Series. And when a 3 Series loses two doors, it becomes a 4 Series.
Dimensionally, the new 4 Series coupe is 1.7-inches wider, half an inch shorter in overall height, and rides on a 2.0-inch longer wheelbase. It's a really pretty thing, with bold, aggressive body sculpting up front, and a rear deck that's sort of like a downsized version of the larger 6 Series two-door. It's all very handsome, but we'll reserve final judgment until we see the production version with its likely smaller wheels and possibly toned-down visuals.
We don't yet have powertrain details, but we fully expect the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and 3.0-liter turbo-six to carry over in 328i 428i and 435i guise. Though remember, other 3.0-liter models in BMW's range use 40i designation, so we could possibly be looking at a 440i Coupe, instead. We won't know until the production car officially bows later this year.
BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
