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!

BMW wants world drifting record back in US

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

BMW just can't stand the thought of the world record for the longest drift winding up in the hands of someone else. The German automaker is set to take a crack at setting a new record by blowing the old one straight out of the water. A driver in China holds the current title after kicking a car sideways for a full 3.6 miles. Now, on May 11, BMW Performance Driving Instructor Johan Schwartz will attempt to pitch a BMW M5 sideways for some 40 miles as part of a stunt to raise funds for the BMW Pro-Am Charity.
We've had the distinct pleasure of riding with the instructors at the BMW facility in South Carolina, and we can tell you that if anyone can keep an M5 at full tilt for 40 miles, it's these guys. BMW has released a teaser video to drum up attention for the stunt. You can catch it below.

BMW confirms X4 for next year, i3 preorders starting to add up

Wed, 20 Mar 2013

BMW has confirmed the long-anticipated X4 will bow next year. Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the automaker's board of management, made mention of the upcoming CUV during remarks at the company's annual accounts press conference. Reithofer said that BMW has sold more than 2.7 million X models since it began producing the machines, and that the company plans to expand those offerings with the new X4 next year. He declined to offer up any more details, though from what we've heard so far, the model will be more of a crossover than either the X3 or the X5.
Reithofer also made it clear that BMW is getting serious about electric vehicles, saying the i3 (pictured above, in prototype form) is "definitely coming to market" and that the runabout will be ready by late 2013. BMW reports it has had "Several hundred advance orders" for the EV. As you may recall, the i3 uses a special carbon fiber reinforced plastic passenger cell to save weight and boasts a standard range of 93 miles. You can read the full transcripts from the press conference below for more information.

BMW i8 pitted against M4 in sibling rivalry track battle

Wed, Jan 7 2015

We recently watched Auto Bild challenge the BMW i8 against the M4 in a German drag race of decide the quicker of the inter-brand rivals. The hybrid took a commanding victory in that fight. However, Autocar now has a new battle for the two coupes. The siblings are together again on the Castle Combe Circuit to find out which of them offers the more enjoyable experience at the track. Unfortunately, we don't ever get a perfect point of comparison in the video because host Steve Sutcliffe never does a full lap in anger with either of them to set a time. Instead, he focuses more on how the BMWs feel behind the wheel. Sutcliffe also admits midway through the clip that the i8's electric motor is out of juice to power the front axle's electric motor. That only leaves the hybrid with its 228-horsepower and 236-pound-feet-of-torque turbocharged three-cylinder to spin the rear wheels. Still, Sutcliffe spends ample time explaining the benefits and downfalls of driving these coupes. See where his opinion falls between the M4 as the traditional German sports coupe and the i8 as the new-school hybrid in the video, above.
