I'm looking to sell my '02 X5 4.4 with 95,500 miles. I have run into all the major defects of this model and have fixed all but one: The timing chain guides. After putting many thousands of dollars in this fine automobile, I have decided that it is time to go greener and more fuel efficient. (yeah yeah, I hear you). I'm looking for you savvy BMW peeps who understand what a major find my car is despite the fact that it needs another $2500.00 put into it before it can drive another 100,000 miles. I have all my maintenance /repair records and photos upon request. I will make a short list of what has been done in the last year:
-New Transmission -Rebuilt transfer case and new front drive shaft -New right and left front axles and assemblies -4 new staggered 20" tires - New rotors and brake pads -New belts, new hoses, new filters. In the last 3 years I have replaced the radiator assembly, Coolant tank and hoses, Position sensors, sunroof glass. In '08 I had the valley pan gasket replaced and a bunch of other things like window regulators/door lock assembly etc. I have kept up with all my scheduled services, run only on premium gas and synthetic oil. I believe this car will run for another 100,000 miles. It does have a couple cosmetic blemishes here and there which I can detail if requested. I have 2 working key fobs and one blank key as a backup. I suggest the buyer have the car repaired/flat bedded before driving since the timing chain guides are broken and could do damage to vehicle. |

BMW Active Tourer to hit US showrooms in 2015
Tue, 26 Nov 2013It's been over a year since BMW unveiled the Concept Active Tourer at the Paris Motor Show, and another four months since it brought the concept back in Outdoor guise (pictured above). Now word has it that the Bavarian automaker is putting it into production.
Although production specs and dimensions have yet to be revealed, the Concept Active Tourer came in a bit smaller than the existing BMW X1. The production version is expected to be based on the same platform that underpins the new Mini hatchback revealed last week in LA, meaning that it will be predominantly front-drive, but an all-wheel-drive version could follow.
There will also be a longer version with a third row of seats, forming part of a new generation of front-drive BMWs to take on the likes of the Audi A1 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class family, of which the GLA will be the Active Tourer's most direct rival. Expect the Active Tourer to arrive in 2015 with a new front-drive sedan to follow in 2017 aimed particularly at the North American and Chinese markets.

LG Chem has officially announced it will build a battery plant in Poland to the tune of about $340 million. Located near Wroclaw in southwestern Poland, the plant is expected to produce 100,000 batteries a year for 200-mile EVs beginning in 2019. The plant could help Poland in its goal to reduce pollution by introducing a million EVs on its roads by 2025. "We will turn the Poland EV battery plant into a mecca of battery production for electric vehicles around the world," says UB Lee, President of LG Chem's Energy Solution Company. Construction begins in the second half of 2017. Read more from Automotive News Europe. BMW has introduced the Cruise e-Bike.

"As we enter the holiday season, these bikes make the perfect present for those wishing for their first BMW." The BMW Cruise e-Bike costs $3,430. Read more from BMW.
Project CARS vs reality at Laguna Seca shows amazing potential
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Project CARS is aiming to be the next great racing sim. Offering a mix of modern and classic cars on famous tracks, developer Slightly Mad Studios is trying to inject a fresh energy into the genre, and at the moment its game looks ready to take on Forza and Gran Turismo.
The game is still about six months from release, and the graphics already look practically photorealistic. The video below shows side-by-side laps of Laguna Seca in a BMW - real life on the left and the game on the right. It's absolutely astounding. Other than some changes to the sponsorship around the track, they are almost identical.
Of course anyone with quality seat time in a racing sim knows that graphics are just one factor. How the game feels is even more important, and without getting hands on, it's impossible to judge yet. However, consider our interest piqued. Project CARS is scheduled to launch in November on the Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft Xbox One, Nintendo WiiU, Windows PC and Steam OS. Scroll down to check out the video.
