2000 BMW M5, My friend purchased this car USED on 5/20/08 with 78,457 miles, then on 10/03/2013 I purchased it from him with 93,460 miles. It now has 95,600 miles. I don't have any receipts so you can take it or leave it from here on out; Vehicle history & info: Life After 5/20/08: First major job was new clutch somewhere in 2011, It has had more oil changes then necessary - every 2500 miles, using BMW / Castrol 10W60 TWS Synthetic or same oil but the Liqui Molly brand & Oil/OEM Oil Filter Kit - V8 E39. 94,000 miles: NGK V Power Resistor BKR6EKUB Spark Plugs, Mann Air Filters, Hengst fuel filter & Bosch windshield wipers. 95,200 miles: Camshaft position sensor (German) from Rock Auto Parts. Many items from ECS auto, Turner motor. If you own a German auto - then you need quality parts. I have an extra head light assembly- goes with the car, The head lights on the car now both been rebuilt with new positioners. New seal around the windshield. All equipment listed works with no issues; Air, Heat, Heated/Power Seats, Power Windows/Locks, Alarm, Cruse, Wipers, Turn Signals, Emergency Flashers, Power Sun Roof, Remote Key, External/Interior lights, back-up sensors. What doesn't work or wrong: Radio won't play seems to be the amp, also the previous owner told me "don't use the tape deck" it eats tapes. The instrument cluster is pixelated, making it - very difficult to read. I just didn't feel like shipping it out for repair. Cup holders are broke. Rust bubbles around gas filler. Paint fading off top of doors. Door dings all over. Drivers door has it the worst, looks like it got kicked by an angry Girl Friend - not that I would know. The SES, service engine soon, light comes on and as per the Peak R5/FCX-3 reader table 1b code AA -secondary air system, flow too low.What that means is - The secondary air system is a smog reduction set-up to reduce cold start emissions, the air pump does come on however due to carbon build up, air flow is being restricted all the while the air pump is operational which is approximately 30 seconds or so during a cold start. In other words - forget about it. Drivers side Vanos chatters but typical. Tires under 3000 miles - Continental Extreme Contact - Included: Peake R5-FCX-3-16 BMW Scan Diagnostic Tool 2000-2007 A test drive is the only way to go, however I to have purchased a car on e-bay sight unseen so I am talking from experience and will try and provide all with too much data and as I look at this M5 I feel I'm being over critical. I made a test drive video so check it out, it may or may not be helpful - we kept it rated "G" for all you kiddies. Test Drive: http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/isleepatwork/media/M5002_zps0ea1332b.mp4.html I may sell locally, so I will pull this listing unless theirs <24 hrs remaining to the end of auction. |

Behind the scenes of BMW's 'Driftmob' [w/videos]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014
All this, for one minute and 47 seconds of action-packed footage with no official plot.
We arrive in Cape Town, South Africa, on the third and final practice day for the drivers of a BMWStories internet video called The Epic Driftmob feat. BMW M235i. We are immediately whisked to a large, empty parking lot on the outskirts of Cape Town, where tires are squealing and chunks of rubber are flying as five red BMW M235i coupes churn up more smoke than a California wildfire. And the smell - it smells like heated metal, the kind of thing rev limiters are made for. Times five.
2014 BMW 328d rated at 32/45 mpg
Wed, 31 Jul 2013BMW still hasn't released official fuel economy numbers for its diesel-powered 2014 328d, but now, those mileage ratings have been posted on the EPA's FuelEconomy.gov website. As expected, the 328d is quite an efficient little machine, with the rear-wheel-drive sedan good for 32 miles per gallon in the city and 45 mpg highway. That even bests the 30/42 mpg of the smaller Volkswagen Jetta TDI.
The last time BMW offered a diesel 3 Series in our market, it was the six-cylinder 335d, which - while mighty quick and excellent to drive - was only offered as a rear-wheel-drive sedan and was rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. For 2014, BMW will offer the 328d with optional xDrive all-wheel drive, though that reduces the fuel economy numbers to 31/43 mpg. Beyond that, the BMW will even sell you a 328d xDrive wagon, which nets the same 31/43 mpg rating, according to FuelEconomy.gov.
Look for the 2014 BMW 328d to hit dealerships this fall, and when it launches, it will be the only diesel offering in its class (until the next Mercedes-Benz C-Class arrives, anyway). Lexus and Infiniti will offer hybrid versions of the IS and Q50, respectively, but we've always had a taste for torque, and the 328d's 2.0-liter engine with 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of twist shouldn't disappoint.
