I always get 18 mpg combined city (driving around omaha) / 22 mpg highway (at 70 mph cruise control setting)
I put a lot of information here for a couple of reasons.
-
1. I have worked on German (BMW, Porsche, VW) cars since the late '80s (over 25 years now) and know tons about them.
2. I want you to have all the information at your disposal, so you make the most informed decision.
3. I genuinely want you to enjoy this X5 for a long time. It has TONS to offer, and I have done the work that keeps these running well.
4. Whomever wins will have my email address. As with ANY car I have ever sold, you can reach back to me 6 months or 6 years later with your BMW questions. I am a resource with as much experience as any dealer technician, and I can save you lots of money in the long run. I don't ever let other mechanics touch my cars.

Please take the time to read and digest this ad and use it in comparison to other BMWs. It will help you understand the items of concern that others leave out of their ads.

How reliable you ask? My wife is a travel health care worker. I drive this hundreds or thousands of miles to see her every month. It is VERY reliable as I would not risk the long trips if it were not. This is also why I am 100% confident in delivering it to you as per my ending-auction/radius delivery statement below. I decided to use my 530i for travel instead, it gets better highway mileage.

I drive in and around Omaha, Nebraska and get 18 miles per gallon running only premium (no ethanol) gas doing errands and going to and from work. I get 22 miles per gallon on the highway when I drive to see my wife in her travels around the US. On the highway I use the cruise control right at 70mph on the speedo, and get 22mpg like clockwork. I even recently towed the uhaul small enclosed 4x8 trailer loaded fully, and I still got 18.5 mpg at 65 miles per hour on the highway!! I was thrilled. So if you are pulling a waverunnuer or smaller item, you'll still likely get 20mpg if you keep your speed at 70 mph. I just put the 4 and 7 pin trailer electronics in it in July. It never had the electronics before, so I am certain heavier things were never towed. Likely just bike racks since any trailer would have legally needed the electronics for the trailer.

CLEAN TITLE is in my hands and in my name, this car is NOT A SALVAGE vehicle, no flood or major accident damage. There is a fender bender on record back in 2009 right before I bought it. Front bumper was repainted and one headlight was replaced (OEM BMW light). That's the only accident damage of any sort. Feel free to run the CARFAX (VIN: WBAFA53581LP24656) as you will find the same. I want you to know what sold me when I first bought this X5 back in 2009. The carfax showed a bunch of owners, but in the glove were receipts from a Mr. Sosa, and the receipts from day one were in his name with addresses from each of the places he lived while moving around with the military. He was an Army officer that moved all over the US. I was the 2nd owner! It was obvious to me as a mechanic how well he took care of it.

Payment must be FULLY CLEARED before anyone gets keys or title.

ending price $6,000-$7000 = I will deliver up to 100 miles from zip 68102
ending price $7,000-$8,000 = I will deliver up to 200 miles from zip 68102

I also WILL NOT DELIVER until AFTER funds have been received and confirmed through the ebay system (Paypal, or any system direclty tied to ebay, through ebay, an NO OTHER SOURCE)
I also work days M-F at my job, and I will therefore deliver on a weekend that we arrange, ideally within 14 calendar days AFTER full payment (not auction end) has been received and confirmed.
I might also tow my motorcycle out to you with a rented u-haul and ride back if there are no good bus or plane deals to get me back home, so I may pick you up and we'll head to the nearest u-haul dealer to drop that trailer off. We'll see how the auction goes.
-
Reason for selling: I have my next project and can let this one go, also, I am getting furloughed, and I don't really need two cars and a motorcycle for just me.

This is the straight 6 cyl engine that has made BMW a world leader in
performance. The 3.0 gets much better gas mileage than the 4.4

There are a few quirks. You'll find some with any used car. Here are the ones I know of:
-Fuel gauge never read correctly, even after I put in the new fuel pump and assembly. So don't trust the the dial. Reset trip counter and always fill up before 300. 250 to be safe
-Radio pixels are about 75% gone common BMW radio issue. Works fine but looks crappy. Mileage pixels and gauge cluster are clear as a bell.
-Rear hatch works perfectly, just need to be lifting. If you pop the rear hatch, it'll relatch itself, a little lift and you're good
-Driver window is a little slow. Been slow for 4 years at least. I always help it by hand a little.

M235i outpoints 911, Corvette in CR testing, becomes highest-scoring BMW ever
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Good news just keeps coming for BMW, as Consumer Reports has just handed out a stunner of a verdict - the M235i, a spritely, 320-horsepower coupe that starts at just $43,100 has bested the likes of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and Porsche 911, vehicles that can easily cost twice as much and come to battle with considerably more power.
CR awarded the spiritual successor to the 1 Series M Coupe a score of 98 out of 100, beating out the 911 and the Stingray by three and six points, respectively. In fact, the M235i is remarkably close to the Tesla Model S' 99, making it one of the highest scores CR has ever handed out. It's also, not surprisingly, the highest-rated BMW ever.
Of the M235i's many attributes, Consumer Reports cited the car's performance potential as well as its quiet ride and comfort for front-seat passengers. While it's a shock to no one, CR called out the limited space in the backseats as well as some finicky controls as this Bimmer's biggest shortcomings.
Fore! Pro golfers race BMW i8 against a golf cart
Sat, Jun 28 2014You wouldn't think a couple of pro golfers racing a golf cart along a nice green course would get the blood pumping. But throw in a BMW i8 plug-in hybrid and things get at least a little more interesting. At least, that's what the German automaker is hoping for. Bimmer is swinging big with a cross-promotional video featuring two pairs of golfers racing plug-in vehicles at the 2014 BMW International Open golf tournament in Koln, Germany. Two of the golfers take your run-of-the-mill golf cart while the other two take a slightly more powerful BMW i8, with the goal to get to the course's "halfway house" first. The race, among other things, sends jackrabbits scurrying and shows off the i8's really cool doors and racy styling. The odd part – "spoiler" alert – is that the golf cart wins the race by taking a short cut through the course despite the fact that the i8 pairs a 231-horsepower turbocharged engine with a 131-horsepower electric motor. It's probably not exactly the message of high-speed performance BMW wants to convey but it would raise eyebrows if this weren't all a silly stunt. Check out the three-minute video below and then read our i8 First Drive impressions here.
