Up for sale is my 2006 BMW E60 M5 with 64,000 miles. I have owned her for about 4 years now. I hate to sell her, but with the new baby I need get something more "kid friendly".

I have all the service records of everything I have had done to the car. All of the normal things that go wrong with the E60 M5 have already been done.

New Clutch and Flywheel ~50,000 miles
The clutch on these cars in computer controlled. They last about 50,000 miles. This was replaced by the dealership before I took ownership. If you are looking at other M5s, make sure this has been done. It costs over $4,000!

Belts and Hoses ~55,000 miles
The belts and a couple steering hoses were replaced under general maintenance.

New Front and Rear Brakes ~60,000 miles
The front and rear brakes have been replaced. The discs on the front were replaced with factory cross drilled rotors.

Front Bushings ~60,000 miles
All the front bushings were replaced to tighten up the front.

Rear Tires ~60,000 miles
The rear tires were replaced with 305/30-19. They are a touch wider than factory, but just slim enough not to rub.

Brake Fluid ~64,000 miles
The brake fluid was flushed out when the light came on. Probably not necessary, but it was already in for a rear ball joint that was loose and got a 4-wheel alignment when that part was replaced.

BMW recommends the oil be changed at 14,000 mile increments according to the on board computer. I have been changing the oil at around 3,000 mile intervals.

The car also has the halo lights replaced with white instead of the old looking yellow lamps and I just put new wipers on the car. It has an exhaust system and lowering springs that were installed before I purchased the car. The exhaust really opens up the sound of the V10, but keeps it quiet enough that the neighbors won't hate you.

The wheels were sold to me as powder coated factory 19" wheels. They look great, but have a few rock chips in them but have never been curbed or bent. Looking at the chips, I believe the wheels might be just factory wheels painted black.

The paint has some oxidation on the hood, roof and trunk lid from the Florida sun. A good waxing keeps it looking great. It has a few rock chips and dings as expected on a 7 year old car. The only noticeable one is on the drivers door smaller than a dime. It looks as if it was touched up at one point and through the years of washing has revealed itself.

The interior has no rips or scuffs on the leather. The drivers seat looks great and the back seats look perfect. The passenger seat has slight wrinkles as visible in the picture. The metal trim has a ding as shown on the picture and the rubber coating on some of the plastic pieces is peeling in a few places as it does in every BMW.

Please Call or Text me with any questions at 954-812-0844. The car is available to show at anytime.

BMW says SUVs killed the sports car market

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

In many ways, we're living in a golden age of automotive performance. After all, it's possible to show up at a Dodge dealer, hand over about $60,000 and storm away with a 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat. Or for those who prefer a touch more luxury, the BMW M4, Mercedes-AMG C63 and latest Cadillac ATS-V offer between 425 and 503 horsepower, depending on your pick, with a bit more poshness. However, none of these powerful vehicles fit the classic definition of a two-place, droptop sports car, and according BMW head of sales Ian Robertson, that's because the segment is very much in the doldrums.
According to Robertson, two factors seriously wounded the classic sports car market. First, the global economic crisis of a few years ago put a serious hurt on sales, according to Bloomberg. Further worsening the situation, the boom in popularity of luxury SUVs and crossovers in the past few years hasn't allowed for much recovery. Even car-hungry China hasn't helped much because of the smog in many cities and preference among some of the very rich there to be chauffeured.
Combined, Audi TT, BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz SLK sales peaked around 114,000 units a year in 2007, but they are only expected to reach 72,000 annually by the end of the decade. Robertson is pretty pessimistic about the market's comeback too. "Post-2008, it just collapsed. I'm not so sure it'll ever fully recover," he said to Bloomberg.

BMW i Collection puts upscale treehugging in the palm of your hand

Sun, 22 Sep 2013

If BMW's new i sub-brand sounds more like it belongs to consumer electronics than it does to automobiles, that's probably no mistake. After all, electric vehicles bridge the gap between conventional automobile and electronic gadget - just ask our compatriots over at Engadget that report on them all the time. But to drive the point home even greener, BMW has, together with the new i3, launched a new collection of electronics accessories that make the Bavarian automaker as much a competitor with companies like Belkin or Griffin as it is with Audi or Mercedes-Benz.
The new BMW i Collection includes items like a solar charger for phones and MP3 players, a laptop bag made from felt-like recycled PET plastic and vegetable-tanned leather, and of course the requisite USB dongle. Other items include keyfobs, a shopping bag, notebook and ballpoint pen.
All the items, of course, are designed to extend the i3's upscale tree-hugging image to items you can hold and use while your EV is charging in the driveway. They go on sale starting next month with prices ranging from 15 euros ($20) for the pen or lanyard to 99 euros ($135) for the shopping bag. Details in the press release below and images of the whole collection in the gallery above.
