Location:
Topeka, Kansas, United States

This auction is for a: "Blacked Out" 2001 x5 3.0L loaded! 246k miles (shouldn't vary much. I have a new company car so I unless someone test drives the car, no additional miles should be added) This is a great car, and quite honestly I hate to part with it. Our company is now providing us a car vs reimbursement, which is the only reason I am selling my baby (and this car has been babied). I will try to give a completely open/honest description that's fair and not inflated so you know what you're getting. Please feel free to ask any questions you would like. Happy to answer them. Also, if you live near Topeka and would like to come look at/test drive the car, no problem. That's how confident I am. -Body is in great shape...garage kept. No rust or accidents. (2 owner) -Paint is in good shape... There are some chips around the front grill which were touched up, but no major paint flaws. -A few MINOR dents/dings on driver/passenger door but no paint missing, etc -There are 2 scuffs-one on the front bumper, one on the rear. See pics -Very good interior. The seats are in great shape...no rips/tears/cracks (I always used leather conditioners) -The wood grain has a few cracks as these models get with age, but Still looks great. No crack in the dash, plastics etc -ZERO pixels out on dash readout or radio. Very common to see issues...this car has none! -Heated front seats -3.0 engine RUNS STRONG...does not blow smoke, or burn oil, and the filter is CLEAN! This X5 has been blacked out...all black exterior, including paint, rear lights smoked, side markers smoked, front grille black, all badges including wheels with black carbon fiber, wheels (BMW original 18" rims-professionally powder coated), etc. interior is also all black, including seats, liner, etc. This has been my baby, and treated as such. I've always replaced items as needed and kept repairs up. In the last yr to yr and a half I have replaced the following (yes this car has highway miles and yes you can get one with 100k miles, but I promise you you you will be replacing these parts soon so factor that into your decision on another more expensive lower miles version) -Both front door carriers have been replaced (over time they brake and are expensive to replace) -front arms, ball joints, bearings etc -alignment performed this summer when new front arms were replaced -all new coils, spark plugs etc -drive shaft carrier/bearing -radiator (3 row, not cheap 1 row version), coolant flush for engine and new coolant -intake manifold & gaskets (tune up also done at same time and hoses checked/replaced so no vacuum leaks) -brakes (pads etc) and cross drilled rotors -disa valve -crank case valve and hoses -throttle body gasket -belts (serpentine etc) -headlights reconditioned so they do not have the scratches and haze typically seen -gas pedal -air conditioning resistor (common issue that cuts out your air conditioning) -new key purchased so the keyless entry does work (you will get 2 factory keys, but one is dead, so the keyless entry feature does not work...alas why I bought a new one -MAF sensor Other notes... -I ALWAYS used premium full synthetic oil and Lucas stabilizer at EVERY oil change...the filter is very clean -all features that should work do work...ie the heat, air, washer fluid pumps, garage door opener feature, etc. - this car has heated front seats and work -all steering wheel features like volume cruise etc work as should -I have not had any transmission, rear differential etc issues ****I will include all the old parts that I replaced/have in case you ever need a spare part, etc**** So, I listed all the great things...I will list areas that will need attention at some point, flaws etc to be fair: -scratches/scuff on the bumper (see pics)- 1 front, 1 rear -headliner sags a little ONLY ON THE MOON ROOF -cracks in the wood grain (dash etc...very common) -shocks at some point will need replaced. They're not bad by any means and won't need to be replaced tomorrow, but at some point you may want to ,) -chips in the paint on the hood/near the grill. I have used scratch fill paint to touch it up, but just so you know it's there -tires were replaced last summer, and there is still about 50%+ tread, so again...at some point -I would get a "pedal position sensor" error code that popped up frequently which is why I replaced the pedal. It has not come back on since, so I'm assuming that issue is resolved -one of the power steering hoses must have a slight leak in the line because the steering is a little stiffer, and you do get that 30 second squeal when it's cold until the air clears the line, then it's good to go -I replace the oil drain plug every oil change and I do notice that their are some drips of oil that do occur at the plug. I MAY have to touch up the oil level by 1/2 qt over the 3mo between changes...so it's minimal but want to be transparent...again this car does not burn oil, smoke etc Overall this is a great x5 that turns heads...and for the price, good luck finding a better deal with as many options, replaced parts etc. that being said, this is a car with highway miles and things do wear out, break etc so please bid accordingly. I'm happy to answer any questions so please ask before you bid. A $500.00 non-refundable deposit through PayPal is due within 48 hrs. Balance in full with wire, verifiable cashiers check, or cash only due within one week after end of auction please. Im glad to help you with with shipping if needed. Don't bid on this if you have no intention to follow through. I don't have time nor patience to deal with non payers. I'm a fair guy (100% feedback) and I have tried to give you all the pros and cons, so please treat me the same. Thank you and good luck! |

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.

Most reliable cars and trucks of 2022
Tue, Nov 15 2022Related: Least reliable cars and trucks of 2022  For years now, Consumer Reports has been one of the most prolific sources of vehicle reliability data around. The organization tests a number of vehicles each year and surveys its members on various automotive topics, including reliability. The results of its 2022 annual auto survey are in, and the list of most reliable vehicles has been revealed. Unsurprisingly, Toyota and Lexus dominated the list of most reliable vehicles, but BMW and Mini snuck into the top 10 as well. The list includes: Toyota Corolla Hybrid: 93 Lexus GX: 91 Mini Cooper: 89 Toyota Prius: 89 Mazda MX-5 Miata: 85 Lincoln Corsair: 82 Toyota Corolla: 81 Subaru Crosstrek: 80 BMW 3 Series: 80 Toyota Prius Prime: 77 In terms of the most reliable vehicle type, Consumer Reports says that sedans remain the best choice. Their average score is 58, which is notably better than SUVs’ average score of 51. Minivans and pickup trucks are lower, at 44 and 39, respectively. As Consumer Reports notes, many sedans are older models that have allowed their manufacturers to iron out the wrinkles, making them more reliable. Domestic automakers' SUVs and trucks performed better in the survey than their imported counterparts, with scores of 45 and 41, respectively. The study also showed that hybrids and plug-in hybrids are becoming more reliable, and have climbed the score ladder to the tops of their segments in many cases. Consumer Reports says its study includes 17 trouble areas, including small stuff like creaks and rattles and much larger problems like drivetrain failures. The organization states that it weights each issue based on its severity to create its predicted reliability scores, with 100 being the best. A car must be in production for at least two model years to be considered for the list.
