Ok everyone, I will try to be thorough here so you know exactly what I have as its time to let my baby go to a new home. I have the NICEST, CLEANEST and most UPDATED X5 you will find anywhere in LA. Always garaged, under FULL BMW WARRANTY until 8/2015. It just turned over 50k miles. Also... I'm not a crazy CL scammer.. Just a BMW nerd and obsessive about this car. Feel free to call/text/email about it, my name is Chris 213.804.6730
Will list options later but first.....
UPGRADES: (All professionally done, with the best parts)
Ok, here is where this truck exceeds anything else out there...
-Front turn signals changed to Amber LED. This eliminates the "egg yolk" effect so you have no orange in the lights except when the turn signal is on. Also the LED makes it look super modern as its instant on and instant off.
-Angel Eyes have been upgraded from the halogen (yellow-ish color light) to full LED. So the front lights look like the 2012-2013 X5.
-BMW Aero kit. This includes the front and rear bumper spoilers that make the car look (tastefully) upgraded. Also makes the rear bumper look more like the 2013 version.
-2013 taillights. Yes, the Tail light assembly has also been upgraded with BMW Factory lights for the 2013 model.
-FULL LED interior package. EVERY bulb inside has been changed to match the head lights and courtesy lights mounted under the door handles. No more yellow interior lights, this is all super white.
-LED fog lamps. I had the fog lamps upgraded to the blue/white to match the headlights.
-Orange reflector delete / euro reflector swap. The front of the X5 has orange corner reflectors that I had swapped out with smoked ones. They are very high quality and look amazing.
-Euro TECH/Option Package. This is the icing on the cake. There are a list of features available to European buyers that we do not get in the US. I have all of these installed for you. These include:
-----Roll up/down windows, open/close sunroof from key fob
-----Fold side mirrors in/out from key fob... this looks particularly impressive when you jump out of the car and all the windows close and mirrors fold in as you walk away....
-----CLOSE rear power lift-gate from key fob and from button INSIDE car (US option is only OPEN from key and inside cabin... you have to press a button on the lift-gate itself to close it.)
-----No "accept" on the navigation every time you get in the car. (you're welcome)
-----Orange turn signals do not illuminate full time when lights are on. (signals blink, but then are not on permanently with lights.. so front is all LED/HID hyper white... no orange)
-----Hazard lights are a double flash then pause, double flash. Not a huge feature but its kind of cool.
-BMW Factory ipod/iphone cable already purchased and included ($80)
-BMW Factory Roof rack $300
-BMW Factory windshield shade $60
-BMW Factory floor mats $175
Maintenance:
Tires were new June 2012 (although I had to replace a rear one 2 months ago do to a fatal puncture, so 3 are a year old and one is brand new), Front brakes done last month with Japanese dustless pads (amazing pads... keeps your rims clean!!) Tie rod ends also done at the same time. Oil change at dealer 2 weeks ago, new air suspension, alternator and some engine seal (Yay warranty!!). Currently needs nothing for 10K miles. Oh, new top of the line AGM battery as well with a 3 year warranty.
Vehicle:
Honestly it's easier to list the features it doesn't have because its LOADED with every option available EXCEPT, 3rd row seats, rear DVD and air cooled seats. Seriously this thing has things on it that I am still discovering. But it for sure has all of the impressive ones, like push start (key just has to be in your pocket), touch the door handle and it unlocks/locks, HID headlights that move when you turn, DUAL subwoofers, iPod integration, speak commands for navi, phone, radio, power lift-gate, heated seats, 20" wheels, ugh... this thing is amazing.

Toyota-BMW sports car to gain all-wheel drive, supercapacitors?
Mon, 24 Mar 2014Sales of salt are skyrocketing following the latest rumor of the planned joint-venture sports car from Toyota and BMW. The whisperings indicate that project will spawn both a replacement for the BMW Z4 and a long-awaited Toyota Supra successor based on the FT-1 Concept shown above. Word is that the new cars will feature front-engine, all-wheel-drive layouts with plug-in hybrid technology. This news would appear to run somewhat counter to earlier reports that BMW and Toyota are teaming for a six-figure hybrid supercar.
According to Autocar, the project will benefit from the experience Toyota gained with the TS030, its hybridized Le Mans prototype. The evidence for this is, of all things, a Toyota Yaris - in particular, the Yaris Hybrid R that was shown at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show last September. That car used a 300-horsepower, 1.6-liter gas engine, while a pair of 60-horsepower electric motors provided all-wheel-drive push (an additional motor also sent additional juice to the front axle). The 414-system-horsepower drivetrain used supercapacitors in place of the traditional lithium-ion batteries of traditional hybrids.
For the production sports cars, Autocar claims that the Yaris Hybrid R's setup will serve as the basis for the new powertrain, although it won't be a direct carryover. Instead, a 2.0-liter BMW engine will be paired with Toyota-designed, BMW-built motors.
2014 BMW X5 priced from $53,725*
Mon, 24 Jun 2013A month after the official curtain was dropped, BMW has seen fit to release pricing information on its new 2014 X5 crossover. The X5 sDrive35i, which is the first rear-wheel-drive version of the X5, will begin at $53,725 (*including $925 for destination and handling) while the traditional all-wheel-drive X5 xDrive35i will begin at $56,025. Both feature BMW's well-regarded 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo N55 engine with 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque.
The 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35d (Have these convoluted names confused you yet?) is priced at $57,525 with its 3.0-liter diesel engine (255 hp and 413 lb-ft), and, finally, the TwinPower Turbo V8-powered X5 xDrive50i (445 hp and 480 lb-ft) will start at $69,125. Buyers looking to customize their X5 experience can choose from the Luxury Line, xLine or M Sport packages, plus Ivory White and Mocha Interior Design Packages. Regardless of which engine is chosen, the X5 will come equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
For comparison, the 2013 X5 xDrive35i started at $48,425. That means the price has increased by over $5,000 despite not including standard all-wheel drive or by $7,600 when comparing apples to apples with similar six-cylinder engines and power to all four wheels. The V8 model increased by $4,000 and the diesel, interestingly enough, dropped by $100.
A closer look at the 2015 BMW M3 and M4
Fri, 17 Jan 2014It's fair to say we're going to miss the E92 BMW M3. Its high-revving V8, flame-styled looks and excellent driving character made it quite simply one of the best cars of the 2000s. Its replacements, the new M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe have a lot to live up to.
We still have a few months to wait until we can drive the new cars, but that doesn't mean we can't get excited in the meantime, learning everything we can. To find out, we sent west coast editor Michael Harley onto the Detroit Auto Show floor earlier this week to talk about the new M cars with BMW product manager Victor Leleu.
If you want a concise, but highly informative rundown of these new cars, look no further than this video. Leleu talks about the styling, weight savings and engines in a lot of detail, making this an interview M fans aren't going to want to miss. Scroll down for the full video.
