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 shows off 435i Coupe with M Performance parts

Sat, 20 Jul 2013

Greetings from the famous Circuito do Estoril racetrack in Portugal. We're here to put the 2014 BMW 4 Series coupe through its paces, and we'll have the chance to sample the updated 2014 BMW M5 with its new Competition Pack, as well. But before going out for some hot laps, we took a few minutes to check out this 435i Coupe that's been fitted with a full suite of goodies from the BMW M Performance parts catalog.
Starting with the exterior, carbon fiber bits are the most noticeable additions, with the lightweight material added in the form of a massive front splitter, mirror caps and a rear spoiler. Other visual changes include lightweight 20-inch wheels, a blacked-out grille, and unique M Performance side stripes. No, that's not a shadow you see under the 435i's strong side character line - that's a stripe. Yes, we're serious.
Inside (we couldn't get photos of the interior, sorry!), BMW has added its sport steering wheel with race display, unique M floormats, steel pedals, and a whole mess of carbon fiber and Alcantara trim.

BMW bringing special Horse Edition 7 Series to Beijing

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

The Beijing Motor Show is just a couple of weeks away, and BMW wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to show off its latest wares to one of its most vital markets. So when the doors open in Beijing, BMW will showcase the new 2 Series Active Tourer, 2 Series Coupe, M3 and M4, 4 Series Gran Coupe and X4. It will also introduce the i3 and i8 to China for the first time. But those are all models we've seen already. What's new is... wait for it... the 7 Series Horse Edition.
Not celebrating horses so much as the Year of the Horse, this special edition 7 Series is based on the long-wheelbase model and comes with all manner of M equipment packages, a special paint job from BMW Individual and unique touches inside and out. BMW isn't saying which engine it features, but it sells the series in China in 730Li, 740Li, 750Li, 760Li and ActiveHybrid forms, with rear- or all-wheel drive. Given that the one pictured is wearing an xDrive badge, it would have to be either the 740Li or 750Li, but buyers will presumably be able to order it in whichever spec they desire.
While it may not be as exciting as the 9 Series concept BMW is rumored to have lined up for the Beijing show as well, you can bet that the Bavarian automaker will find plenty of buyers for this extra-special, extra-Chinese, extra-equestrian luxury sedan, and command a healthy premium from each and every one of them.

Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.
