General History Thank you for looking at our X5. First, in the interest of full disclosure, I am a dealer and have been for 28 years. This however is one of my personal vehicles so I am not selling it through the dealerships. I bought this vehicle directly from the BMW factory auction of executive demos in 2011 for my wife. The vehicle is owned by her personally and has been carefully driven and maintained. No kids. No smoking. It has been regularly detailed by my staff and properly serviced locally at Tom Bush BMW of Orange Park. It had front brakes with a full brake fluid flush November2012 and rear brakes less than 180 days ago with an oil/filter service. The tires are matching Michelins. The rears were replaced about 6 months ago with maybe 6000 miles on them. The fronts are brand new with less than 500 miles. We have enjoyed 46,000 trouble free miles during our 32 months of ownership. We had a battery failure in May 2012. BMW replaced the battery with the correct factory replacement. BMW also replaced the alternator in July 2013. These vehicles are prone to have rear air suspension leak. Last November we noticed the RR sagging a little. A soap bubble test revealed a couple of pin hole leaks and both rear airbags were replaced with factory units by BMW. I am aware of no mechanical issues. The vehicle is being driven daily and will be delivered to its new owner, fully serviced by BMW, with a fresh professional detail. All books, keys and Nav CDs are with the vehicle. The Options After my wife settled on space grey metallic with the black Napa leather, I carefully looked for the best equipped version available. For those of you who prefer to see the factory codes I have listed the ones I know off the top of my head at the bottom. This X5 has the 350hp 4.8 liter V8 mated to a six speed steptronic transmission. In addition to normal automatic shifting the steptronic allows sequential manual shifting. It is has the sport package with adaptive drive (suspension) and active steering upgrades that dramatically improve the handling and ride. It also has the further upgraded 20” wheels and tires, active headlights and upgraded exterior trim, which includes the roof rack and aluminum running boards. The extra large panoramic moon roof extends over the rear passenger. On the inside you will find the premium package plus the 8 passenger seating upgrade and the very hard to find 20 way contour front seating option on both front seats with dual memory and heat. The trim is dark burl walnut. On long trips you can keep your snacks cool in the cooled center console. It has navigation and the premium sound package with full Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio, USB input, I phone/IPod connectivity, and a CD player. You can download your music library to a thumb drive and plug it in giving you the option to select and play your favorite play lists using the idrive knob, or you can stream Pandora on your phone from in your pocket or purse, or listen to satellite or normal radio. Whichever you choose it will all play back through the 16 speaker, 600 watt stereo. Additional conveniences are hands free calling from your easily stored contact list, trip computer, extensive vehicle monitoring system. It has retractable side window shades and child locks. It has the technology package with rear camera and collision avoidance radar. The comfort access option provides keyless entry and locking by simply touching the door handles and full memory for all vehicle settings for two drivers, depending which key is used. I am sure I have missed something. The only option missing is the cold weather package. While this vehicle does have the heated seats it doesn’t have the ski bag and retractable headlight spray nozzles. If has spent its entire life in Florida and never seen snow. ZSP- Sport Package, ZPP- Premium Package, ZPS-Premium Sound, ZRC-Rear Climate control, ZIP-Technology Package,328- aluminum running boards, 456/494-Heated Contour seats,ETC. The Issues As we previously mentioned, we are aware of no mechanical issues at all, however there are a few very minor cosmetic issues. There is a small ding in the center of the rear bumper, where it looks like someone bumped it while putting luggage in the back. The right rear wheel was accidentally scraped on a landscaping stone and has a little rash as a result. There are a couple of VERY MINOR bumps with no paint damage on the door that may not even show in a picture. There is a small scuff on the far LR corner. All of these can be seen in the accompanying photos. While preparing this listing, I was reminded by my wife of an issue I had when purchasing this vehicle. The auction came to me after the car was delivered and said they had found an accident record from December of 2008 in Clearwater, Florida. They offered to allow me to return the vehicle. I inspected the vehicle and could find no evidence of damage. I called the Clearwater Police Department, the Pinellas County Sherriff’s Office and the Florida Highway Patrol. I spoke to each agency’s records people and none could find a record of an accident involving this vehicle. I then was directed to www.buycrash.com by the Highway Patrol. Still nothing. Our title clerk’s husband is a retired State Trooper; I had him look into it personally. The consensus of everyone I contacted was there probably was a minor incident in December of 2008. Instead of an actual report there was either a driver information exchange done, or if it was a single car event wherein the previous owner asked for an informational report. According to the agencies contacted, the exchange/informational report would not have become part a permanent record. Furthermore, the record does not indicate this vehicle ever having an insurance claim filed on it. Since the vehicle was perfect and exactly what I had spent months searching for I accepted it. Nevertheless, it is part of the record. The title is perfectly clear, and my wife has enjoyed safe, trouble free driving for the last 32 months. I will be happy to have the vehicle independently inspected by a buyers representative. Please feel free to contact me directly, with questions. Guy Marvin, IV 904-334-4308 (c) I regularly ship vehicles all over the US, Canada, Caribbean, Central America, Europe and other places. I will be happy to assist with transportation or will meet you at the Jacksonville International Airport. Thanks again for giving our vehicle a look. If you are looking for a well equipped and well maintained X5 4.8i, we think you will be very pleased with ours. It is not for sale any place else and will sell here at no reserve. Good Luck.

Wedding couple celebrates nuptials in the parking lot with donuts
Sat, 21 Dec 2013Weddings are often joyous, fun-filled occasions full of revelry and some serious celebrating. And while we appreciate the fact that a couple is being joined together, we have a feeling a video like this could have very easily ruined said couple's big day.
It stars a bride, a groom and a BMW M3. But rather than the couple being in the car and laying down some rubber, the E46 M3 is doing donuts around the couple. We shouldn't have to explain why this is a bad idea - even if the driver is competent, this could have gone wrong pretty easily. Still, it didn't, and the end result is pretty cool.
Take a look below and let us know what you think in Comments.
2014 BMW 320i
Tue, 24 Dec 2013When BMW switched its entry level 3 Series, the 328i, from a naturally aspirated, 3.0-liter six-cylinder to a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder, we weren't entirely sure what to think. Sure, from a pure numbers perspective, the new 2.0-liter cooked the old 3.0's goose, delivering more torque at far more accessible engine speeds while boosting horsepower and fuel economy.
While we miss that revvy six-pot, the numbers for the 2.0 were just way too good to pass up. Then we received news of an even less-powerful 2.0-liter 3 Series - the 320i. This was interesting, as it saw BMW delving into a power level previously owned solely by the anemic Lexus IS 250 and its six-cylinder engine.
Could BMW make a sub-200-horsepower sedan that still drove the way we expected a 3 Series to drive? To find out, we borrowed the new 320i for a week of testing.
Frankfurt Motor Show Notes: Why Jaguar decided to build an SUV
Wed, Sep 16 2015It was inevitable. Jaguar had to make an SUV, and that notion became reality this week with the debut of the F-Pace, an all-wheel-drive five-seater that will launch in the United States next spring. Some purists may cringe. But in an era when Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and other traditional luxury brands are all building or (planning to build) SUVs, Jaguar had to evolve. While it seems like a leap for Jaguar to make an SUV, longtime design director Ian Callum said it's been in the works for years. "The first time I was asked the question was when I arrived 16 years ago," he said. So in 1999 (and probably well before that), Jaguar was already thinking SUV. What took so long? "It wasn't a priority," Callum said. Jaguar was concentrating on fixing its existing lineup, which was pockmarked with holes and poorly selling products, like the X-Type. Along the way, Jaguar and sister brand Land Rover were sold by Ford to Indian conglomerate Tata Motors. Flash forward several years, and Jaguar and Land Rover are both experiencing a resurgence in the United States and around the world. Jaguar's lineup is flush with the E-Type's modern successor, the F-Type, plus a new version of the XF. The XJ received a 2016 freshening, and the smaller XE sedan is on the way. Jaguar put its house in order as other factors conspired to make a crossover timely. Fuel prices stayed relatively low, and consumers in the US and China remained steadfast in their love for utility vehicles of all stripes. Making a Jaguar SUV became a priority. "The world was telling us in no uncertain terms this is what they wanted," Callum said. "Not to be in the sector would be a little naive for the sake of purity." Jaguar proved its intent two years ago when it revealed the C-X17 crossover concept at Frankfurt, and the final production model is close to the prototype's striking looks. "I thought we managed to maintain that spirit," Callum said. It's a true Jaguar, with cues from the F-Type, 1968 XJ, and other famous models. Who would have thought Jaguar would make an SUV? "I certainly didn't," Callum admitted. But the F-Pace is here. If Callum is okay with it, purists can be, too. Quick Hits Opel retrenches for 2016 and beyond Opel used the Frankfurt show to display its new generation of the Astra, a critical vehicle line for the German division of General Motors.
