Immaculate Arizona M5 with low miles and pretty much every option available, 2 owners and clean autocheck scoring in above-average condition, zero accidents. I'll attempt to go over the car as thoroughly as possible, but please do not hesitate to ask any questions or come check out the car in person, it's located about an hour West of Chicago in Saint Charles, IL. One of the most important features about this M5 is the completely transferable free maintenance package that pays for all scheduled maintenance- including oil changes- all the way to 100,000 miles at BMW dealerships. It was last serviced at Patrick BMW in Schaumburg, IL. And it's INCLUDED with the sale.
Exterior:
Rare Alpine white in very nearly mint condition. The paint is very, very shiny no fading whatsoever and in immaculate condition and also has a full front 3M clear bra. I've documented the two known blemishes at the bottom of the photos. One is behind the right rear wheel, the second is on the right front fender near the side mirror. In very, very good condition. Zero chips or scratches in any of the glass, zero dents or dings anywhere. None. The wheels are also nearly mint, no peeling or fading or chipping or corroding. Two of the wheels actually are mint, the other two have two very minor curb rubs each and I have documented these as well. The tires are all matching (Bridgestone Potenza) and have plenty of tread left. The same goes for pads and rotors front and rear. The rear window and all side windows are also tinted and the tint is in perfect condition. I'm not sure what percent since they were tinted by the previous owner, but, they seem darker than 35%, so I would have to guess 20%.
Interior:
Black on light tan Merino leather with black suede headliner. The leather is flawless with no blemishes whatsoever. And the leather is genuinely everywhere; covering the dash and the doors top to bottom, even the inside of the pockets in the doors are lined with leather. This is one of the best options for the car due to being so supple and it simply wears much, much better than the standard leather that tends to crease and become shiny and over-all just look worn. And it replaces so much of what would normally just be plastic trim. All switchgear and instruments work exactly as they should and show virtually zero wear. You can see in the picture showing the left side steering wheel controls that there is slight wear to the soft rubber coating just below the buttons. Other than that, mint condition.
Mechanical:
There are zero mechanical issues with this car, it has been under warranty it's entire life, therefore it has been regularly inspected. The motor starts, idles, revs and runs exactly as it should. The transmission shifts and behaves exactly as it should, as do all of the SMG settings. The car tracks straight and seems to have a perfect alignment, the tires also show no signs of abnormal wear. The power steering shows no signs of abnormal function and is quiet and responsive. All suspension components and bushings are in perfect working order and the ride is controlled and behaves exactly as it should. All fluids appear to smell and look like they should, and are at proper levels, there appear to be zero leaks anywhere. The brakes behave exactly as they should, though due to not being driven for a couple weeks the rotors show some rust that will go away shortly after being driven again. There are zero malfunction lights anywhere.
Features:
There are MANY features and options on this car, almost every option available. There are obvious features for a car that was some $100k new, so I'll stick to the less obvious ones starting with options; heated steering wheel (also power tilt and telescope), Comfort Access (includes smart key that recognizes when the key is in proximity and allows the doors to be unlocked and the car started without taking the key out of your pocket/bag/purse), soft close automatic doors, power rear sunshade and manual side sunshades, heated rear seats, 'M' multifunction front seats with active width adjustment (adjustable bolsters that respond to steering input and hold you in place during cornering, also adjustable knee support, adjust the seat back and shoulder bolsters separately, power adjustable active headrest, 4-way lumbar support and memory settings for seat position for both seats and mirrors and steering wheel for driver's seat), wood trim, head-up display, SIRIUS satellite radio (needs subscription), iPod and USB adapter located in center console, enhanced premium sound and full Merino leather with alcantara headliner. Totaling over $11,000 in options. Other features include adjustable horsepower, throttle response, transmission response, electronic damping and stability control, limited slip rear differential, rain sensing wipers, automatic headlights, navigation, bluetooth, 6 CD changer, BMW iDrive, sunroof, power folding mirrors, etc.
Overview:
If you're looking for an M5 I don't think you'll find a better one than this, taking into consideration the very nearly mint condition inside and out, the free maintenance package for 60k more miles, the extensive list of options and the rare color. Please let me know if you would like any additional pictures or if you have any questions at all. This car is also for sale locally, the auction may be terminated before the end if it sells locally.
I have experience shipping vehicles nationwide, so let me know if you need assistance with shipping, I would be happy to help. Though the full cost of shipping is at the buyer's expense.
I've done my best to describe the car as accurately as possible, but it is still a used car being sold AS-IS without any warranty so please ask any questions you may have before bidding or buying-it-now. Thank you!

Recharge Wrap-up: Nissan Leaf in Puerto Rico, BMW i3 REx tax-free in NJ, BC2BC cancelled [UPDATE]
Tue, Jul 22 2014*UPDATE: Nissan has released a video of the Leaf in Puerto Rico, so we've embedded it below. Envia Systems will develop battery technology for United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC), a subsidiary of the United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR). The $7.7 million contract, co-funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE), involves a 36-month development program focusing on high-energy cathode and anode material for lithium-ion batteries and pouch cells for electric vehicles. The goal, of course, is to create better energy storage for less money in an effort to make commercial EVs more efficient and affordable. For the DOE, this also equates to energy security, energy independence and national security. Read more in the press release at the bottom of the page. The US and China have agreed to work together more closely on EVs, energy and climate issues. US Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz went to Beijing for the sixth US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue to meet with leaders. While there, Moniz and Wu Xinxiong of China's National Energy Administration (NEA) signed a memorandum of understanding allowing the DOE and NEA to share information regarding oil reserves. The groups will meet yearly to learn more about how each other manages petroleum stockpiles and policy. Moniz also met with Minister Miao Wei of the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and signed an MOU to cooperate on electric vehicles and "related technologies," including the "inter-operability of electric vehicles." Read more at the Energy Department website. August's BC2BC all-electric vehicle rally, billed as the largest gathering of electric vehicles, has been cancelled. The event, which was to include a drive up the entire coast from Mexico to British Columbia with smaller events along the route, failed to bring in the needed sponsorship to hold the rally for its third year. A Facebook post from organizer Tony Williams also cited loss of venue and lack of support from automakers - "particularly Nissan and Tesla" - as hardships. The event was scheduled to take place August 9 through 17, with only battery electric vehicles invited to take part - no plug-in hybrids or range-extended vehicles. Williams said he'd only try a similar event in the future if sponsorship were provided up front. Read more at Green Car Reports. The Nissan Leaf will finally go on sale in Puerto Rico.
Upcoming new Alpina B7 teased
Wed, Jan 20 2016BMW does not make an M7. It never has, despite rumors, trademark filings, and the actual desires of the people that would build such a car. That means that while we're stuck waiting for BMW to see how foolish not building an M is, the most potent 7 Series you can get wears an Alpina badge on the nose. Meet the newest version of that car... sort of. BMW and Alpina haven't taken the wraps off the next B7 just yet, opting instead for an opera-accompanied teaser of the new car undergoing track testing. The car is lightly camouflaged – there's enough to make it clear it's a 7 Series, but not so undisguised as to reveal too much of the Alpina bodywork. There's a more aggressive bumper, a meaty rear spoiler, and sharper side sills, along with what are probably Alpina-specific wheels, but more precise details are hard to discern. What isn't difficult to pick out, though, is ear-tingling exhaust note. The last two Alpina B7s have built on the standard 7 Series' engine, and this new model likely won't be any different. That should mean a breathed upon 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 which goes well above the unfettled car's 445 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. The extra power, along with the donor car's new lightweight carbon-fiber passenger cell, should make for tantalizing performance capabilities. The current 750i xDrive takes 4.3 seconds to make the sprint, and the B7 model that this new machine will replace hits 62 in 4.6. We'd expect the upcoming B7 will do better. The teaser from BMW and Alpina doesn't indicate when the new model will debut, but we'll eat our proverbial hat if it doesn't happen in Geneva. Related Video:
Husqvarna sold to KTM CEO Stefan Pierer
Fri, 01 Feb 2013A couple of days ago the UK's Motorcycle News reported that BMW was in the final stages of selling Husqvarna to KTM, with a deal potentially confirmed as soon as this week. Following that came reports that Husqvarna Motorcycles wasn't sold to KTM but to a Pierer Industries, the company owned by KTM CEO Stefan Pierer. Turns out the advance report was true, as was the follow-up: BMW has just announced a "strategic realignment" of its Motorrad division, explaining that it sold Husqvarna to Pierer Industries in order to focus on the urban and e-mobility segments. Husqvarna's off-road machines, obviously, don't fit into those categories.
BMW bought the Italian-based bike maker with centuries-old Swedish roots in 2007 - the rest of the Husqvarna company remains based in Sweden - and has invested huge sums to integrate the smaller company into the larger parent. Six years later, just when dividends should begin to truly pay off, the brand is sold.
Before BMW made its announcement, one of the theories that forum members put forward for Pierer's interest in purchasing Husqvarna was that he wants his own business to run his own way. The parent company of KTM, Cross Industries, is 47.27-percent owned by India's Bajaj Automotive, with Pierer the majority shareholder, and is on a quest for global growth, taking the fight to BMW in Europe and launching new bikes and technology into the Indian market. Compared to BMW's and KTM's 2012 sales of around 100,000 bikes each in 2012, Husqvarna sold 10,751 bikes, which was a 15.7-percent increase over the previous year. Pierer would have a lot more freedom in the running of a company of that size.
