Bmw: M5 Base Sedan 4-door on 2040-cars
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
For sale is a 2002 BMW M5 (e39 series). I purchased it less than a year ago from Half Moon Bay in CA (SF bay area). I purchased it because it was in great shape, ran perfectly, was a CA car, and had a reasonable number of service records at either a dealership or a local reputable shop. However, due to a job change, it has become a redundant vehicle so I am looking to sell it, otherwise I love the car and have always wanted an e39 M5. If youre looking at this car then you are probably aware of how desirable this generation of M5 is. It is refined and smooth, yet gives the driver access to raw power and great handling without all of the ridiculous electronics in the newer & Model: BMW M5Year: 2002VIN: Color: Jet BlackInterion Color: Black All Leather Nappa HeritageMileage: ~138,500HP: 394 HP @ 6600 RPMTorque: 368 ft-lbs @ 3800 RPMPackage: Base 4dr Sedan w/ Navigation System, Xenon Headlights, Alloy Wheel 18, M audio with advanced bass.Autocheck report (like a Carfax) by request, please ask.A lot of high quality pictures Condition (engine, transmission, etc.):It starts, runs, and drives perfectly. There are no unusual noises (no VANOS noise), issues, or warning lights (no check engine light). It shifts a little hard when cold but then becomes very smooth once everything gets to temperature. The brakes are powerful and smooth. Engine is stock with no mechanical or electronic modifications. I recently changed the engine oil and filter, the transmission fluid, and the differential fluid. I also had all new belts installed. Battery is relatively new and was replaced by the previous owner. It has recently passed both the NC and CA (more rigorous) emissions tests. This means that there is no carbon build-up issue.Paint and Body Condition:There is no rust anywhere that I can find. The paint is in really good condition for a 2002. It appears to me that the previous owner garaged the car most of the time. The car has been garaged 100% of the time by me when not in use. Most of my driving has almost exclusively been during dry weather. I have a second car that I use as a commuter. The exterior is in great shape compared to other 5-series of this age. There are a couple of small blemishes around the car from typical use. The passenger door has a small ding near the hinge area (see pics).Glass Condition:The front windshield has a few rock chips but nothing that is in an irritating location or that appears to be in danger of spreading, otherwise the windshield is in good condition. All other glass is in perfect condition. Recently had the windows professionally tinted with their best Llumar tint (it is NC legal). Tint has a transferrable lifetime warranty.Wheel and Tire Condition:All of the wheels have a little bit of cosmetic curb rash on them but are otherwise in very good condition and look great. The tires are almost new (less than 3k miles on them) and are quality tires (Continental Extreme Contact DW).Interior Condition:The car does show some wear and tear on the inside but nothing extreme. The Alcantara upholstery is in like new condition. The steering wheel and dash is in great shape. The leather seats are in great shape. The drivers side seat bolster (common wear area) is in very good condition. All other leather is in good shape. All lights work (except for the trunk light which is missing). The navigation screen has a few pixels that are out but it doesnt affect its function. The instrument panel digital display works like new (no missing pixels, looks like new). Some of the buttons and knobs show some wear, but again nothing that bad. The heater works and the AC blows very cold. The front passenger seat doesnt recline (this is a typical issue with e39 and is fixable). There is an iPhone connect that was installed by the previous owner, I have never tested it. I have also never tested the tape player or the CD changer in the trunk.Please let me know if you have any questions about the car. Price is negotiable to an extent. Title in hand.Thanks for looking!

2014 BMW M235i
Tue, 21 Jan 2014We know a number of BMW owners who reside in the Munich brand's core demographic - upper-five- and six-figure professionals who like to keep their automotive brand credentials as highly respected among their peers as their alma maters or the letters after their names. Before heading to Las Vegas to drive the new M235i, we asked four of those owners, "What did you think of the E30 3 Series?" Although phrased differently, every one of them had the same answer: "What's that?"
You can counter that we just happened to query a tiny and ignorant sample size, and it's possible that you're right. Nevertheless, in every case,we were speaking to BMW's core demographic, the increasing legion of buyers who have fostered another year of record growth and are responsible for BMW retaining its global luxury title for nine straight years. Question that, and we'll refer you to BMW's marketing department, its several hundred PowerPoint slides and several thousand pages of research that prove the point.
That second-generation E30 3 Series built a name, a brand and an entire segment by defining BMW-ness as superlative driving dynamics meets luxury - shortened to the phrase, "The Ultimate Driving Machine." Thirty years later, just being a part of BMW-ness and luxury is enough for the majority of buyers. The superlative handling, that's optional, and 150 hairy guys meet every Tuesday to keep the old religion going, light torches, sing dirges to the siren long gone and bang on their keyboards about the apostasies of modern buyers.
Season 9 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases us with BMWs and Volvos
Thu, Dec 22 2016Jerry Seinfeld's successful online show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is heading into its ninth season, returning January 5th. It should be no surprise that the list of actors and comedians is impressive, with Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, and more making appearances. Seinfeld has lined up an equally impressive list of cars for the new season. Porsche, BMW, and Volvo all have beautiful machines lined up to shuttle Seinfeld and his guest to different coffee shops. As always, it's a mix of light humor packed into a relatively short and, most importantly, free video. Catch up on the previous eight seasons now on Crackle.

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.
