The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

LET ME BEGIN BY SAYING I OFFER ANY BUYER THE RIGHT TO INSPECT THE CAR OR ARRANGE TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED WITH THE OPTION TO CANCEL THE SALE. OF COURSE THE DEPOSIT WILL BE REFUNDED IF THIS OPTION IS TAKEN. I CANNOT OFFER ANY WARRANTY OR GUARANTEES BUT I AM SUPREMELY CONFIDENT THAT ANY BUYER OR INSPECTOR WILL FIND THIS BMW TO BE A SOLID VALUE.

The motor is smooth, no smoking, no lack of the performance expected from a BMW. The automatic transmission shifts without any hesitation. On the road at any speed...from 35 to 95 on the open California roads the car tracks straight and true. The leather interior is in excellent condition. I have looked at cars on dealer lots selling for the full value of $16,000 that were not really any better. Needless-to-say, the is no rust issues with this car. Furthermore, the paint has a great shine to it and there is none of the all too common California sun bleaching of the paint either. This is simply a great looking and very good running BMW X5. It is not "perfect" as those cars do exist but sell for $15,000 and more. The rear view camera tied into the in-dash DVD playing head unit is not coming through. With the mileage within 5000 miles of 100,000 miles a repetitive Service engine soon light comes on. However, the OBD 2 system shows no codes of any kind. I was told this is common to car companies as a means to get people into the dealership to try to sell any service a customer might be willing to pay for....from wiper blades, to cabin air filters, oil changes, etc, etc.

In addition to the extensive list of BMW luxury appointments the car has authentic BMW 20" 7spoke alloys and Xl/speed rated tires. They are 275x40x20 in front and 345x35x20 in the rear. About 70-75% tread left too. The cost for these was over $4000! YOU WILL ALSO GET the quite pricey BMW upgraded running boards which make any X5 look better and are functional to have. YOU WILL ALSO ENJOY the top-of-line Pioneer DVD in dash audio/video system with dual high power amps expertly installed out of sight in the side panels and twin 10"subs in a custom enclosure. Minimum space is lost in order to gain a video and sound system vastly superior to a stock setup. These upgrades cost over $7000.

WHETHER THE BUYER IS LOCAL OR OUT OF STATE I OFFER A GUARANTEED RIGHT OF INSPECTION. I GUARANTEE TO REFUND THE DEPOSIT THAT MAY HAVE BEEN MADE INTO PAY PAL IF UPON INSPECTION BY THE BUYER OR ANYONE ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE BUYER, THE CAR DOES NOT MEET EXPECTATIONS THE SALE CAN BE CANCELLED. THIS INSPECTION MUST TAKE PLACE WITHIN 7 DAYS OR THE BALANCE OF PAYMENT WILL BE DUE AND THE DEPOSIT WILL NO LONGER BE REFUNDABLE. I CANNOT BE ANY MORE FAIR. NOT MANY SELLERS ARE THIS CONFIDENT IN THEIR VEHICLE OR THIS FLEXIBLE.

This car has current California registration and smog. I need to point out however that it has a California salvage title. BUT BEFORE ANYONE PANICS THEY SHOULD KNOW WHAT THAT SCARY SOUNDING SALVAGE TITLE REALLY MEANS. BEFORE YOU PANIC LEARN THE FACTS. Four years ago and 35,000 miles back this car was indeed hit. Oh my! Is the darn steering wheel going to come off in your hands or the motor fall out at the first bump? ABSOLUTELY NOT! The reality is before a car, that was hit, regardless of how minor or severely, can get a salvage title it must first be inspected by the state inspectors. If there is any questions about the safety, the braking systems and such it will not be granted a salvage title and will not be able to be sold. WELL, THIS CAR HAS PASSED NUMEROUS STATE SAFETY INSPECTIONS AND PASSED SMOG INSPECTIONS RIGHT UP TO NOW WHERE THE REGISTRATION AND SMOG ARE CURRENT. Furthermore, since all all panels, doors, windows, etc, etc, are aligned so nicely, and there are no rattles or squeaks, and the body and paint look so good, the quality of whatever repairs it needed were no doubt, had to be, done by very skilled technicians. Salvage titled cars can be disappointments. NOT because the steering wheels fall off or the motors fall from the frames. The problems with salvage titles lies with the quality and dedication of those people putting on the fenders and such. IF FIXED WELL, THERE IS NO REASON WHY A "SALVAGE TITLED" CAR IS ANY LESS WORTHY THAN ANY OTHER CAR. In fact, many a car, damaged pretty bad...but just under the monetary threshold insurance companies use to classify a car as repairable or not worth bothering with,(which begets a salvage title scenario) retain "Clear title" but are LESS roadworthy than a STATE INSPECTED SALVAGE TITLED CAR. Thus, a Salvage title does not mean you need to panic. ALL THIS FINE INFORMATION IS RIGHT OFF THE INTERNET SO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS I AM GOING TO SELL THIS CAR FOR WHAT CAR FAX SUGGESTS AND ADD IN THE $7000 IN UPGRADES MAKING THIS AN ABSOLUTE NO-BRAINER.

BMW names new head of M division

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

BMW's performance division has been run by Dr. Friedrich Nitschke since 2011, developing, among other products, the new M3 and M4. But soon the good doctor will be retiring, and BMW has just named his successor.
Taking Nitschke's place as chairman of BMW M GmbH will be Franciscus van Meel (pictured at right), who until recently served as managing director of Audi Quattro GmbH - the rival outfit that makes Ingolstadt's performance models, including the R8 supercar and RS line of performance models.
Van Meel will join BMW on October 1, presumably to learn the ropes from Nitschke before the 59-year-old executive steps down at the end of the year. Back in January, Audi named Heinz Peter Hollwerweger as head of Quattro GmbH and reassigned van Meel to its Beijing R&D center, a role which evidently didn't suit him as well as creating Autobahn-storming German muscle cars.

New BMW i3-like Visio.M EV concept uses lightweight resin

Tue, Oct 21 2014

It's not a new version of the BMW i3, but an updated version of a lightweight concept car from SABIC, BMW, the Technical University of Munich, Daimler and others does bear a certain resemblance to the well-designed plug-in city car. From the black "glass" in the hatch to the angled line tail lights to the up-and-down window line, you can see a sort of family resemblance (see an i3 comparison photo here). And, of course, they both have an electric powertrain. But the changes made to the new lightweight urban electric concept vehicle is more of an exercise in what's possible rather than a way to evolve the i3 and i8 into a broader i family of vehicles. Even so, what we see here is interesting, since SABIC found all sorts of new ways to take weight out of the car as part of the Visio.M (Visionary Mobility) project, which was first announced in 2012. Let's start with the window material, which as you might guess from the quotation marks above, is not made of glass but is instead SABIC's Lexan polycarbonate (PC) resin plastic. The lower weight (the PC helps shed about 29 pounds) adds two miles of range while the PC resin has better thermal conductivity compared to glass and so does even more because the HVAC system can be more efficient. According to SABIC's computational fluid dynamics analysis, an extra 9-10 miles of range, in fact. Without the battery, this concept weighs just 992 pounds. Remember, BMW already made a lot of weight-reduction measures in the i3 thanks to carbon fiber reinforced plastic, so to make the "glass" lighter would only help boost efficiencies on a production vehicle that uses a resin like this. Read more below. SABIC's LEXAN™ resin delivers weight savings and thermal efficiency for new ultra-lightweight electric car concept developed by BMW-led Visio.M Consortium Munich, October 20, 2014 Today, at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), BMW, Daimler, TUM scientists and a consortium of industry participants showcased a lightweight urban electric concept vehicle with various advances, including an all-plastic design of the car's windows. The windows are made of LEXAN resin, a polycarbonate (PC) material, and coating technologies from SABIC, a leading developer of PC glazing for automotive windows and many other thermoplastic solutions for the automotive industry.

Toyota launches BMW-powered Verso in Europe

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

BMW makes some sweet-revving engines, but its own vehicles aren't the only ones running BMW engines. So do the latest from Rolls-Royce and Mini, of course, as well as a handful of Peugeots and Citroëns thanks to its joint engine program with PSA. Wiesmann uses BMW engines, as did the famous McLaren F1. And now we can add one more to the list.
That would be the Toyota Verso, a Corolla-based minivan which Toyota builds in Turkey and sells in Europe and a few other markets overseas. The Verso is also now officially the first beneficiary of the partnership between Toyota and BMW as the Japanese automaker has released the MPV with BMW's 1.6-liter turbodiesel four.
The 111-horsepower engine is coupled to a Toyota transmission and joins the Verso range as the fourth (and least powerful) engine in the lineup, alongside the 122hp 2.0 diesel and the gasoline options with 1.6 liters and 160 hp and 1.8 for 180. Future collaborations between the two automakers will include fuel-cell development, a new joint sportscar platform, lightweight bodywork research and a new generation of lithium-air batteries. See the press release below for further details.
