2006 Bmw X5 4.8is on 2040-cars
McLean, Virginia, United States
|
I purchased this car from another BMW enthusiast in Charlotte, NC just shy of 50,000 right here on Ebay. See my feedback dated 14 April 2011. The car is in overall great condition and I think anyone that views the car would agree. Reason for the sale is to upgrade to a larger SUV. I'm a typical American that hauls around kids and crap and just wants something along the size of a Tahoe. Car is fully loaded with comfort seats, heating steering wheel, heated rear seats, pano roof among the other stock options the 4.8is came with. Overall this car has been extremely reliable which is contrary to popular belief. Outside of standard services and fixing known problems with these cars (air struts, ps hoses) it's been a fantastic car.
Interior is in excellent condition. Only flaw I can really point to is the steering wheel trim is peeling which is fairly standard on these cars. I have the OEM BMW trim piece already and it will be passed along to the new owner. The navigation screen has a few smudges but nothing that affects the viewing while the car is on. You can only see them when the screen is dark. Leather is in great condition and shows very little wear. Carpet is clean, no stains, rips or tears. Exterior is also extremely well kept. The car has never been in an accident or had any paint work done. There is a small dent in the driver's side rear passenger door the size of a penny. It can easily be removed with PDR. There are a couple of nicks near the rear tailgate and bumper area but you have to be up close to see them. The wheels have some minor curb rash as well. Tires are fairly new Continental Extreme DWS. Mechanically the car has been serviced with the BMW dealer up until the factory warranty expired. I have the BMW service bulletin printout which shows everything handled while under factory warranty. Since I have owned the car it has been serviced at my local indy shop. I have all the service records and will also provide those to the new owner. Various repairs include both front air struts, power steering hoses, CAB's, Front Rotors & Pads. Known Problems • Valve cover gaskets are starting to seep. No major leaks and I am not topping off the oil, but they should be done in the next 5-10k miles. I would also suggest plugs at this time. • Rear brakes are almost to the wear sensor. The car is for sale in as-is condition, with no warranties included or implied. Again, it has been a great car and I would not hesitate to drive this car anytime or anywhere. This was a late 06 build date which is typically when BMW gets its act together and addresses common faults found in earlier builds. The car is clean and sitting in the garage awaiting a new owner. I'm happy to pickup the buyer at Dulles Airport or assist with shipping the vehicle. |

2014 BMW 328d ready to burn oil in just four cylinders
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Despite showing off the new 328d sedan in New Jersey yesterday, BMW though it only fair to bring the first four-cylinder diesel it will ever sell in the US to the New York Auto Show today as well. Unfortunately, the company remains vague about pertinent details like fuel economy and price, but we did hear again that the oil-burner will be capable of getting 45 miles per gallon on the highway. BMW's Oliver Ganser told AutoblogGreen, "We do not want to give out" the city or combined mpg ratings quite yet, but The New York Times got someone to estimate a fuel economy of mid-30s in the city.
The two-liter TwinPower turbocharged and direct injected engine and eight-speed automatic transmission (sorry, no manual will be available) put out 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque and should get the 328d up to 60 miles per hour in just over seven seconds. As we noted earlier, the 328d will be available with every option and trim level - like all-wheel drive - that other 3 Series models have in the US (transmission excepted) and should start at under $40,000 when it goes on sale this fall.
Officially, the 328b will be able to accept biodiesel blends up to B5 (or, just maybe B7), which is standard diesel with five (seven) percent biofuel. Read more about that and other aspects of the 328d here.
BMW predicts 2 Series Active Tourer will have 75% conquest rate
Wed, 23 Jul 2014In the last few years, BMW has definitively proven that it wasn't a slave to its legacy. In the US, the 3 Series was generally associated with smooth, flat-six engines, but the Bavarian brand dropped a four-cylinder turbo into it. The company was also known for its sports sedans, and it went green with the i3 and i8. Now, rear-wheel drive is off the table as defining its vehicles, as well. With the imminent launch of the 2 Series Active Tourer, the Bavarian's models are going front drive and opening up themselves to a whole new group of customers, so the thinking goes.
"We are expecting the Active Tourer will have a conquest rate of around 75 percent," said Frank Niederlaender, a BMW product manger, to Automotive News Europe. If you're not hip to the lingo, that means three quarters of the hatchback's buyers would come from other brands - an impressive figure, if accurate.
When it hits the road, the 2 Series Active Tourer will be the first BMW-branded vehicle to use the company's UKL front-wheel drive platform, already on the current Mini Cooper. The roomy hatchback is aimed at young families looking for a car that is luxurious but can still tote around the tots. It launches in Europe in September to compete against similar models like the Mercedes-Benz B-Class, but the Bimmer isn't crossing the Atlantic to the US until early 2015, according to ANE.
BMW discussing new plant with Mexican authorities
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Drawn in by low wages and manufacturing costs, BMW could be the next automaker to set up a manufacturing facility in Mexico. Automotive News is reporting that the German automaker has had discussions with local Mexican governments regarding a possible assembly plant, but there is no word as to when a decision may come down. Last we heard, BMW was reportedly looking to build the 3 Series in Mexico.
A key determining factor for this new plant is a free-trade agreement between the US and Europe, which according to the article, would give BMW better "flexibility and cost structure" to open another plant in North America. In terms of luxury automakers, Audi is currently building a new plant in Mexico and Mercedes-Benz is considering opening one in conjunction with Nissan for the CLA-Class, and in the bigger picture, Honda and Mazda are also preparing to kick off vehicle production in Mexico.
