2003 Bmw X5 on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
Up for sale our family jewel 03 X5 4.6is.I have bought this car 3 years and took great care of her and she did the same for me.We had around 20 k miles on the California roads and I was never left stranded or had even a distant feeling that I may not make it home.We bought it to use it for the family trips and to tow my race car to the track a few times a year.I probably have 1200-1500 miles towing for the last 3 years.It was planned to stay with the family for a long time,but I got a great deal om a X5 diesel and this one has to go.You can see all the maintenance I have done below,that is probably more than $10k if done by the dealer.Thanks god I am a 20+ years BMW technician and able to take a good care of my Bimmers.Of course there are some minor cosmetic flaws here and there,but I never had the goal to make the car perfect.Just to keep it nice,clean and mechanically 100%.
As you may already know the 4.6is models for E53 X5 are top of the line,power-wise and option-wise.It has 340 hp and is one of the fastest cars on the street.Nowadays that is not a stunning power,but BMW always utilises the power and torque in the best possible way.It also has amazing handling,even compared to most cars.When loaded with my race E30(2500 lbs+open trailer 1500lbs) it doesnt even feel there is something back there.I have connected electric brake controller,but the X5's brakes are more than sufficient to stop in any condition.
The AUTO CHECK REPORT mentions accident,but it doesnt give any details.Much more accurate CARFAX REPORT specifies "FRONT,MINOR DAMAGE",which is explained :"Minor damage is usually cosmetic,including dents or scratches to the vehicle body".

DC fast charging standard on 2015 BMW i3 EV
Mon, Dec 1 2014The BMW i3 is about to get a lot cooler. No, wait, a lot warmer. That's because there will a few new standard features in the i3 plug-in vehicles sold in the US, including seat heaters and satellite radio. Oh, and DC fast charging. The department head of BMW i USA, Jacob Harb, told BMW Blog that the company is, "now confident enough that in 2015 we will have the right infrastructure for DC fast charging, so it makes to include it standard in the MY2015." We can expect more details at the Detroit Auto Show in January and Harb told BMW Blog that, "you will be pleasantly surprised" by the announcement. There are a few other potential changes in store for the i3, including a configurable keyfob (like European i3 drivers get) and a heated steering wheel. It's unlikely that a sunroof or Lane Departure Warning will be offered, but Harb said BMW is always open to suggestions.
Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced
Thu, 17 Oct 2013The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
Audi to spend $17 billion to fight BMW
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It's no secret that VW Group, parent company to not only Volkswagen but also Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati brands sold in the US, is determined to become the world's largest automaker. Even more impressive is that VW is prepared to spend billions to make it happen.
With that comes word that VW Group will be spending $17 billion on its Audi brand over the next three years to push itself above rival BMW. The money will be invested in both vehicle development (including lightweight auto design and alternative powertrains) and facilities (including expansion in Hungary, China and new operations in Mexico). The luxury brand is focused on global manufacturing infrastructure.
Already Europe's best-selling luxury brand, Audi's objective is to overtake BMW by the end of the decade by selling more than two million cars per year (BMW is shooting for 1.54 million sales in 2013). If those objectives are met, VW Group should be on track to be the industry's volume leader by 2018.
