This vehicle is being sold AS IS. I am moving into the city and I do not need a vehicle. I hope this SAV brings the next owner as much joy as it has to me! I believe I am the 3rd (4th if you count the dealer for a day they had it) owner of this vehicle. The owner before me bought this vehicle at 50,000 miles and I bought it from him at roughly 147xxx miles. Since purchasing this vehicle 6 months ago I have put over 6,000 miles on it and haven't had any issues! Other than normal maintenance requirements such as oil changes, brakes and rotor replacement, all wheel alignment, and a tune up , I haven't had any serious costly problems. Some minor things I did replace that haven't been an issue since, are upper/lower radiator hoses + water pump, right wheel bearing, and a brake light bulb replacement. I have all records that show what has been done since I owned it, as well as some documentation from the previous owner. Its a non smoking vehicle and always has been. New certified BMW floor mats were replaced when I bought this vehicle and the carpet underneath is virtually brand new. The engine runs very strong and shows no signs of slowing down. At 153k miles its just breaking in! BMW owners take care and maintain there vehicles and its no secret these engines last a lifetime.

This vehicle is ready to drive today! I live in MA and we have one of the most strict vehicle inspections in the country and this passed with flying colors. No check engine lights, all features work beautifully, exterior and interior are in above average condition. Many people look at it and think its a 2006 model because it looks that good! Other than wear and tear its a beautiful vehicle that has been taken care of throughout the years.

Upgrades: Vehicle has a tow package. I have not towed anything and the owner before me said he towed his small tug boat (2200 lbs) once a summer to his lake house. This SAV towing capacity is rated for 5000 lbs. With minimal towing and weight far beneath its limit, its safe to say the engine was never under stress.

Vehicle comes equipped with an aftermarket navigation system, premium sound with a subwoofer that is tuned to all genres of music from country to classical and everything in between. Blutooth, and iphone compatable with easy synchronization to any and all phones.

ISSUES: Only known issue is the driver side front CV boot has ripped and needs to be replaced. (roughly $150) or wait until the axle goes which I was priced out to be roughly ($300) but that wont need to be replaced for some time.(4-6 months)

Serious Bidders Only

Please feel free to ask me any questions as I will do my best to answer as honest as I can.

BMW Hack: the auto industry's big cyber-security warning sign [w/video]

Sat, Feb 7 2015

A cyber-security hole that left more than two million BMWs vulnerable may be the most serious breach the auto industry has faced in its emerging fight against car hackers. Security experts are not only concerned that researchers found weaknesses inside the company's Connected Drive remote-services system. They're worried about how the hackers gained entry. German researchers spoofed a cell-phone station and sent fake messages to a SIM card within a BMW's telematics system. Once inside, they locked and unlocked car doors. Other researchers have demonstrated it's possible to hack into a car and control its critical functions, but what separates this latest exploit from others is that it was conducted remotely. In an industry that's just coming to grips with the security threats posed by connectivity in cars, the possibility of a remote breach has been an ominous prospect. The fact it has now occurred may mean a landmark threshold has been crossed. "It's as close as I've seen to a genuine, remote attack on telematics," said Mike Parris, head of the secure car division at SBD, a UK-based automotive technology consulting company. "At this point, the OEMs are trying to play a game of catch up." Previous researchers in the automotive cyber-security field have launched remote attacks that are similar in nature, though not the same. In 2010, academics at California-San Diego and the University of Washington demonstrated they could remotely control essential functions of a car, but they needed to be within close proximity of the vehicle. In November 2014, researchers at Argus Cyber Security remotely hacked cars with an aftermarket device called a Zubie plugged into their diagnostic ports. But the remote attack was predicated on the Zubie dongle having physically been installed in the car. With the BMW hack, researchers compromised the car without needing physical access or proximity. The German Automobile Association, whose researchers conducted the BMW study, said it infiltrated the system "within minutes" and left undetected, a feat that raises the possibility that a hacker could do the same in a real-world scenario. Messages Were Sent Unencrypted Security analysts described the BMW infiltration as a "man in the middle" attack. Researchers mimicked a cellular base station and captured traffic between the car and the BMW Connected Drive service, which drivers can access and control via an app on their cell phones.

2015 BMW i8 configurator is ready to show the future

Mon, 22 Sep 2014

Good news if you're one of the lucky few that can afford the new BMW i8. The high-performance hybrid's configurator has gone live on BMW USA's consumer website, meaning you can head in and customize till you drop.
If you've ever played with a BMW configurator, you'll instantly feel at home with the i8's. You have the choice of four trim packages (your author refuses to use BMW's pretentious "World" trim names), followed by wheel and exterior paint options. The interior choices are fixed to the trim level, so aside from trim, color and the choice of two wheel options, there isn't a lot to pick out on the i8.
Head on over and take a look.
