2006 Bmw X5 4.8is on 2040-cars
McLean, Virginia, United States
|
I purchased this car from another BMW enthusiast in Charlotte, NC just shy of 50,000 right here on Ebay. See my feedback dated 14 April 2011. The car is in overall great condition and I think anyone that views the car would agree. Reason for the sale is to upgrade to a larger SUV. I'm a typical American that hauls around kids and crap and just wants something along the size of a Tahoe. Car is fully loaded with comfort seats, heating steering wheel, heated rear seats, pano roof among the other stock options the 4.8is came with. Overall this car has been extremely reliable which is contrary to popular belief. Outside of standard services and fixing known problems with these cars (air struts, ps hoses) it's been a fantastic car.
Interior is in excellent condition. Only flaw I can really point to is the steering wheel trim is peeling which is fairly standard on these cars. I have the OEM BMW trim piece already and it will be passed along to the new owner. The navigation screen has a few smudges but nothing that affects the viewing while the car is on. You can only see them when the screen is dark. Leather is in great condition and shows very little wear. Carpet is clean, no stains, rips or tears. Exterior is also extremely well kept. The car has never been in an accident or had any paint work done. There is a small dent in the driver's side rear passenger door the size of a penny. It can easily be removed with PDR. There are a couple of nicks near the rear tailgate and bumper area but you have to be up close to see them. The wheels have some minor curb rash as well. Tires are fairly new Continental Extreme DWS. Mechanically the car has been serviced with the BMW dealer up until the factory warranty expired. I have the BMW service bulletin printout which shows everything handled while under factory warranty. Since I have owned the car it has been serviced at my local indy shop. I have all the service records and will also provide those to the new owner. Various repairs include both front air struts, power steering hoses, CAB's, Front Rotors & Pads. Known Problems • Valve cover gaskets are starting to seep. No major leaks and I am not topping off the oil, but they should be done in the next 5-10k miles. I would also suggest plugs at this time. • Rear brakes are almost to the wear sensor. The car is for sale in as-is condition, with no warranties included or implied. Again, it has been a great car and I would not hesitate to drive this car anytime or anywhere. This was a late 06 build date which is typically when BMW gets its act together and addresses common faults found in earlier builds. The car is clean and sitting in the garage awaiting a new owner. I'm happy to pickup the buyer at Dulles Airport or assist with shipping the vehicle. |

2015 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe
Fri, 06 Jun 2014It's hard to say what a coupe is anymore. Is it merely a car with two doors? Does it have to have an arching roofline? Do frameless windows count for anything? Can a five-door hatchback or even an SUV be a coupe? At some point in the last few years, nearly everything we thought made a coupe a coupe has been challenged by something that calls itself a coupe, but to most people isn't. Our friends at BMW have led most of this line of questioning.
The new 2015 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is one of the latest Bimmers to challenge the moniker (which also challenges the idea of "Gran," for that matter), and unlike some of its other "coupe" variations - we're looking at you, X6 - this one is a pretty one. The 4 Series Gran Coupe is essentially a four-door version of the 4 Series, which is itself a two-door version of the 3 Series. Huh? Wouldn't that simply make it another 3 Series? Of course, but this one is prettier, as it uses the 4's sexier body styling, with its lower nose, wider-looking stance and edgier lighting graphics. It is also technically a five-door hatchback, not a sedan per se, and it utilizes frameless side door glass, which apparently does count for something in BMW coupe-land. Significantly, the 4 Gran Coupe's wheelbase is identical to the two-door; if it was longer - as is the case with the 3 Series and 5 Series hatchbacks - that might make it a "Gran Turismo." Confused yet?
We recently got our first chance to drive the 4 Series Gran Coupe at a press launch in Spain, and while the only version we were given was a rear-drive 428i Gran Coupe with the M Sport contents, the harrowing roads around Bilbao gave us a good idea of what this car is all about from a driving dynamics standpoint. Here's some of what we found:
BMW: i8 sold out, i3 records 10k orders
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Just in case anyone was wondering how plug-in BMW cars would be received, the answer is apparently "quite well." After speaking with BMW's global sales chief last week at the LA Auto Show, Reuters has learned that the plug-in hybrid i8 sports coupe is already sold out for its first year on the market.
There is no word as to how many i8s BMW sold, but the first example was delivered to a customer last week in Germany. As for the all-electric/range-extended i3 hatchback, the automaker has received more than 10,000 orders for this model before it even goes on sale. Likewise, we don't know how many BMW plans to sell, but we do know they'll be showing up in the US before next summer.
We've already spent some time behind the wheel of both plug-in BMWs, and you can check out our first drive of the production i3 and our first drive of an i8 prototype.
On Location in California with BMW and Mini
Thu, Feb 25 2016A mid-winter escape from frigid Michigan to drive a trio of new BMW and Mini products? It'd be a busy couple of days, but you can't argue with Southern California in February. The temperatures in LA, where we drove the Mini Cooper S Convertible, hovered in the mid-80s, and it was solidly in the 70s further north, at Monterey, where we drove the M2 and X4 M40i. The highlight of the trip was Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, which is a rewarding track to drive in a street car. The M2 was a blast there. The canyon roads above Malibu in the Mini were a close second, but even the lazy drive down the PCH to Big Sur was a blast. More important is the California state of mind we were in when driving all three of these cars. I've spent a lot of time in this state, and it has a complicated relationship with the car – and there's also a huge difference in attitude between the greater Bay Area and Southern California. Ample sun and twisty roads clash with image-consciousness, eco-consciousness, and brutal urban gridlock, and each BMW dealt with that paradox admirably, in its own way. Take a quick jaunt to California with me and check out the locations and experiences that helped form our impressions of these vehicles: the 2016 BMW M2 First Drive, the 2016 Mini Cooper S Convertible First Drive, and the 2016 BMW X4 M40i Quick Spin.
