This is a beautiful example of an M5. It has high miles for it's age at ~60,000 miles, but has been highway driven early in it's life. My friends can't believe it's got that many miles after seeing it. Only a few thousand miles a year in the last two years. I was only allowed to put 24 pictures up, but have more available upon request. It is black ventilated leather on the inside (and they really cover everything in leather on the M5, not just the seats. It's quite luxurious feeling really). It is black sapphire metallic in color so doesn't show carwash swirl marks like a flat black one would. This has the Olive Ash Wood interior, which is much classier than the aluminum standard trim in my opinion. See the pictures for yourself, but they don't do it justice.
Some options:
-rear and rear passenger sun shades. The rear is powered and the 4 side ones are manual.
-Technology package (not sure what that is)
-Climate package (not sure what that is)
-heads up display (nice, but not critical)
-Ventilated front seats (nice, not critical)
-Automatic high beam headlights (I've never really figured these out)
-Adaptive Headlights that swivel in turns (great feature)
-Comfort Access Keyless Entry (DO NOT buy any BMW without this!)
-Soft close doors (really useless feature unless you're 80 years old and too weak to close a door)
-Multifunction seats (adjustable in many many ways. even the seat back has a hinge in the middle for extra adjustability. If you can't get comfortable in this seat, you're not human)
I had the SMG pump and sensor go on me, which everyone talks about, but is rather unpleasant at $5,482.22. But for you, that takes all the guessing out of this car as it's just replaced by a BMW dealer and as such, now has a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty on it.
I'm selling it because it's really not my type of car. I bought it because a neighbor had one and raved about it, but I'm just not that spirited a driver. So to me, the engine doesn't feel very powerful since I don't rev it high, and the transmission isn't smooth since I typically use automatic mode. My neighbor drives a little more spiritedly and paddle shifts, so it that's you, then you'll love this car. If you're just looking for an attractive, all-options luxury car, you shouldn't buy this car. I've had a 335 and a 540. I think I'll go back to their equivalent. I may also list this locally if I get around to it, so there's a chance that I sell it locally and have to cancel the bid. I'll probably wait a couple of days and see if there's much bidding before deciding to list it. But please don't complain if I take the listing down for that reason.
The car certainly has some nice features. The Alacantra roof liner is quite striking and gives a real air of disctinction to the car. The wheels are classy but large, immediately differentiating this car from other 5-series. The whole stance of the car is menacing without being over the top about it. Lovely really, and it gets many compliments and looks of awe or jealousy. The critical elements of Seat and Steering Wheel are fantastic - The best I've ever felt. Even the cruise control was a pleasant surprise with some nice little features that let you jump up or down by 5mph.
When you do accelerate quickly, especially after pressing the intimidatingly labeled "M-Mode", the car becomes alive. The seats grab you, the HUD shows a tachometer and speed on the windshield in bright colors and the engine seems to double in size. The sound on this mode is quite glorious too, but it's quite a fast car, so you don't really have many opportunities to do this beyond the odd on-ramp. The one time I was driving home after beeing at work late, an M3 took off from the stop light. Since there was nobody around, I pressed the trusty M-Mode and jumped after him and past him. We were both laughing, or perhaps giggling by the time I'd passed him in a thunderous roar. Great fun, but not the kind of thing I ought to repeat. It really made me appreciate this beast's power though. I had a Cadillac CTS-V roar past me the other day, but he seemed too serious about the whole thing, so I let him rip along. Contrasting the sound of this M5 to his car was quite striking. His car sounded like it was 2000 rpm past the redline whereas the M5 at full boil sounds stolen from a Formula 1 car. It's not that big thumping v8 sound, just a highly technical, full and ferocious sound.
It is a tough decision to sell it, but the car just doesn't make sense for a driver like me.

BMW 3 Series set for mild facelift
Fri, 28 Mar 2014The latest BMW 3 Series is pretty new, right? Well it's been on the market for the better part of three years now. And on a typical six-year production cycle, that means it's halfway through its life. It only makes sense, then, that BMW should be preparing a little mid-life facelift, and that's just what we appear to be looking at in these latest spy shots.
The changes will likely be minimal when the revised 3 Series debuts sometime in the middle of next year, with the visual changes to the exterior centering around a new front bumper. New lighting front and rear may also be part of the package, and you can also expect some updates to the interior while those Bavarian engineers are at it. Take a closer look in the gallery of high-res spy shots above for an idea of what to expect.
Recharge Wrap-up: Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Finishes AXCR, Nissan Leafs drive 528 million collective miles
Wed, Aug 20 2014The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has successfully completed the Asia Cross Country Rally 2014. The plug-in Mitsu finished first in the EV class, and 14th overall, clocking in at 19 hours, 17 minutes and 12 seconds. For its second year in the competition, the Outlander PHEV used a new suspension with more ground clearance to help it tackle the race's treacherous terrain. Besides the glory of taking on the challenging competition, the rally helped Mitsubishi gather valuable data for EV development. The race took place over 1,367 miles of varied terrain from Thailand to Cambodia. Read more at Hybrid Cars, or visit Mitsubishi UK's Facebook page. Nissan Leaf drivers have driven more than 528 million miles worldwide. That accounts for a reduction of 150,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions since the EV's 2010 launch. Nissan projects that Leaf drivers will surpass a collective 1 billion electric kilometers (621 million miles) by January 2015, or perhaps even sooner if sales keep increasing. The mileage data was collected through the car's CarWings telemetry.

Whether it's battery-electric, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid, electrons will be doing their share to get the well-heeled from place to place. According to an article at The Sydney Morning Herald, PHEVs are "the most promising option." The BMW i8 is a fine example, as is the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid, and Audi and Mercedes-Benz have plug-in plans of their own. Lexus, not so much. Read more at The Sydney Morning Herald. PGA golfer Hunter Mahan has taken delivery of a BMW i3 he won by scoring a hole-in-one. BMW offered a free, all-electric i3 to the first player to score a hole-in-one in the 2013 BMW Championship at Conway Farms Golf Club, which Mahan did on the 17th hole. The BMW Championship raised money for Evans Scholars Foundation. BMW Hole-in-One Scholar Melyzjah Smith, who was awarded a full four-year college tuition and housing scholarship in honor of Mahan's slick shot, was on hand to meet the golfer as he received his i3.

David Plouffe will help the ride-hailing app navigate government policy and relations. The Taxicab, Limousine and Paratransit Association didn't think the move was a good one.
