I have LOTS more pictures, but I can only post 4 for free, and if I post a bunch and it doesn't sell . . I've just wasted more money. I am happy to send all 30 or so I have tho!
This beautiful car has just under 103,000 miles on it, which
is low considering how durable and long lasting these cars are! My Volvo is 13 yrs old and has over 253,000
miles on it! It is a speed automatic, AWD, 4.4 L, V8, 32V Valvetronic. It is black exterior with roof rack. I have
the Car Fax for it and it’s been well maintained, having regular oil changes
and inspections. Never been wrecked. It includes the extended warranty that covers an additional 100k miles or 5 years - will expire May 2019 or 202,780 miles, whichever comes first. Its features include A huge panoramic sun roof, which is one of my favorite things about it. Self-leveling rear axle w air springs Traction control Four wheel independent suspension Speed-sensing steering wheel Anti-theft, AM/FM stereo with CD & radio 10 speakers Radio data system 4-wheel disc brakes (which were just changed at about 82K miles) Electronic stability control (I must say it does feel like a very safe car) ABS brakes Brake assist Dual front impact airbags and side impact airbags as well Front anti-roll bar Low tire pressure warning Occupant sensing airbag Overhead airbag Panic alarm Rear anti-roll bar Reverse sensing system Security system Dakota leather upholstery Split folding rear seat Steering wheel memory Steering wheel also has audio controls Tilt steering wheel (and it moves up when you go to get out of the car) Trip computer Air conditioning (works REALLY Well), each passenger has their own temp control, too Front bucket seats Leather shift knob Tachometer Driver door bin – actually lots of really good storage space Vanity mirrors for front passengers, with lighting 18 x 8.5 double spoke alloy wheels Variably intermittent wipers Speed sensitive wipers High-intensity discharge headlights Spoiler Bodyside moldings Delayed headlights Front fog lights Fully automated headlights Heated door mirrors Power door mirrors Power trunk closing assist Rain sensing wipers Rear window wiper Roof rack – rails The back also lifts open with part of the tailgate still closed (see photo). This is great so things don’t shift and fall out the back when you open the back hatch after traveling.
Just passed inspection and emissions.
I was so excited when I bought this car because BMW is my all-time favorite car. It’s been a long and difficult 5 1/2 years after a divorce that left me as the sole support of our 2 kids, so getting this to replace my 13 yr old, 253K mile Volvo felt like a real accomplishment. Especially on the heels of earning my master’s degree just over a month ago. I am the 3rd owner of this car, I believe, and it originated in Hawaii! It then moved to NC before settling here in NoVA. It wasn’t really planned but more like something that fell into place, or so I thought. There was a light on the dashboard when I got it but my son and I thought it had to do with the 4x4 being disengaged . . until two more lights came on. I called the dealer and took it in, and a few days later they returned my vehicle with a new alternator. Being a little nervous, I took it to the mechanic I trust completely for a good once over, in case there were other lurking issues. He cleared it and, in fact, said it was a good car. He also told me it was a V8. Therein lies my problem. The salesperson at Pohanka told me it was a V8, AWD vehicle. After looking briefly at a sedan and this one, and from what I was told, this would get a little less gas mileage due to the AWD. I asked about this before we even test drove it, and the sales person looked it up on his phone right there in the parking lot to tell me the difference between AWD and a regular vehicle with only two wheels really doing the work. There was NO mention of it being an 8 cylinder. Since he initially said V6, I didn’t ask more about that. I simply cannot afford to keep a V8 car . . . . .despite having an advanced education, I’m still supporting my family on a lower income salary because, at the time of my divorce, I had been a stay-home mom for 10 years. I had to start all over. Had the sales person told me it was a V8, I would have kept looking. There are smaller engine SUVs out there. I used to own one until the ex took it, promised to bring it back and trade, but traded it in on a sporty model instead. It will sit in my parking lot until it sells and I will only use it when I need to take my kids to activities that are further out, because my Volvo has a transmission problem and it worries me to get stuck on the road somewhere, at some point. I bought an extended warranty for 5 yrs/ 100K miles that is included. It was the best policy by an A+ BBB rated company I could find after much research. I can put you in touch with the warranty people if you have questions about what it covers. There is a $100 deductible for each covered expense, but no limits or caps on covered items. This is great if you’re hauling a boat or a trailer, but it’s too much car for me. Even if I made twice as much and the gasoline wasn’t an issue, a V6 is all the more car I need. That’s what I will look for once I sell this to someone who can truly appreciate it.

Thermal imagery of BMW M4 DTM pit stop is red hot
Wed, 28 May 2014A pit stop is a pit stop, right? The race car pulls in, the crew changes the tires, pumps in some fuel, maybe swaps out a busted body panel or squeegees the windshield, and off it goes for another heat. Only pit stops have become the focus of news lately for a number of reasons, whether it's because of mishaps (like the ones that prompted F1 to ban mid-race refueling), new time records (due largely to said ban) or interesting new ways to film the fast-paced action.
A few weeks ago we brought you footage of an IndyCar pit stop filmed from multiple angles courtesy of Google Glass. Now BMW has released a brief clip of one of its M4 DTM racers coming in for fresh rubber, all filmed by infrared camera. Its the kind of technology BMW uses to help optimize its German touring cars for competition, and now the Bavarian outfit has released some footage for fans to enjoy.
The resulting thermal imagery gives you an idea of how hot the car runs (and where the heat is emanating from), how warm they get the fresh rubber before they get it onto the car, and what kind of temperatures the pit crew is subjected to. Look closely enough in the 25-second video below and you'll even see the heat sputtering out of the exhaust pipes as the M4 downshifts into its pit box. (Just don't try adjusting your speakers, the clip is without audio.)
2014 BMW X5 doesn't upset the formula
Wed, 29 May 2013BMW has unveiled the 2014 X5, and fans of the company's CUV will find plenty familiar in the machine. The biggest change to the recipe comes in the form of the X5 sDrive35i, which is the first rear-wheel drive version of the high-riding five-door to date. Buyers will, of course, continue to be able to opt for all-wheel drive, and both models will get their thrust from a 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine. That powerplant makes 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. BMW says the combination is good enough to get the SUV to 60 miles per hour in around 6.2 seconds.
Those who require more thrust can step up to the more potent X5 xDrive50i with its twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine. Drivers get to enjoy an extra 45 hp over the previous model, with final output up to 445 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic of its own, the engine can hustle the big X5 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.
The 2014 BMW xDrive35d continues to offer diesel power, though output has dropped 10 horsepower to 255 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. Even so, BMW says the X5 diesel will be just as quick or quicker than the 2013 model. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
2014 BMW 5 Series starts at $50,425* and gets a new diesel, 5 Series GT starts at $60,925* [w/video]
Sun, 19 May 2013BMW itself says it is making "Precise modifications to the design" of the facelifted, sixth-generation 5 Series, and this is the result. The 2014 5 Series will come in four flavors - sedan, Touring, Gran Turismo and ActiveHybrid 5 - the biggest news probably the addition of a diesel engine for the US market.
When they go on sale in August, the 528i sedan will start at $50,425, a $1,700 increase over the 2013 model, and if you want xDrive that adds $2,300 to the price across the model range. The 535d employs a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six-cylinder diesel with 255 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque and starts at $56,025. BMW portends "substantial fuel efficiency gains over its gasoline-fueled counterpart," but the exact numbers won't come until closer to the on-sale date. The $64,825, top-dog 550i holds pat with 4.4-liter, twin turbo V8, with output upped to 445 hp and 480 lb-ft - an increase of 45 hp and 30 lb-ft of torque. The outputs haven't changed on the twin-turbo four-cylinder in the 528 nor the 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine in the 535, and *all prices include the $925 destination charge. The engines are also fitted with a coasting mode that uncouples the powertrain when rolling downhill.
Outside there are new "contour lines" for the grille and air intakes, slimmer taillights and elements that accentuate the car's width - as if that were necessary. Xenon adaptive headlights will be standard along with side indicator lights on the rearview mirrors, the options list adds LED headlights, the Luxury Line and Modern Line packages. The former package adds chrome trim to certain exterior elements, the latter adds matte chrome trim.
