2007 Bmw 5-series 530xit on 2040-cars
Templeton, Indiana, United States
This is a low mileage 2-owner vehicle well suited for the family that enjoys traveling in style and comfort. Most owners of this vehicle opted for the free automatic transmission; however, this car maintained its original 6-speed manual transmission making it somewhat rare and was hard to find. The engine is rated at 255 hp and 220 ft lbs of torque. I took ownership from Bell BMW in New Jersey that had initially leased it then put it through their certified used program after it was returned to them. It has not been a daily driver until recently; therefore, the mileage has remained relatively low at 65+K. The car was in the San Francisco Bay Area from July 2010 to June 2013 and maintained by Weatherford BMW in Berkeley under both the manufacturer's and certified pre-owned warranty; records included. The car is currently garaged in Pembroke Pines. FL. Around town gas mileage averages about 22 mpg, fully loaded with a roof rack around 25 mpg, and I have achieved 28-29 mpg on multiple lightly-loaded trips on open roads. A few of my favorite interior options include the front/rear heated seats and the heated steering wheel, large sunroof, and audio sound quality. There are LATCH attachments for child safety seats in the rear. On the outside, a critical component of the car's performance is the 18' 245 series wheel and tire package that ensures the car never loses traction. The AWD system mated with the dynamic stability and brake control ensures the car stays planted in any situation. An invisible but important brake-related safety feature, Dynamic Brake Control, moves the brake pads closer to the rotors if the driver quickly removes their foot from the accelerator in preparation for an emergency stop. The 0-60 time was advertised as 6.9 seconds which seems fairly accurate. The DVD charts for North America were updated to the 2012 edition and I will pass along the BMW car cover with the vehicle. The paint has been touched-up in two areas: the driver's door and rear bumper. The wheels have some minor scratches on the outer edges. There is a small indentation in the front bumper from a chain-link fence and a scratch on the front left. The left passenger door is dinged. The car is mechanically sound with no leaks and has years of enjoyment left to give to the right owner. Contact me with questions

This is the BMW Z4 GTE that will wear the Roundel in ALMS
Sun, 17 Feb 2013The Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway are a month of racing and reveals, with the season's metal going for the flag at races like the Rolex 24 at Daytona and other cars being introduced to the public. In the latter category is the BMW Z4 GTE (click the image above to enlarge) joining the American Le Mans Series GT class this year with BMW Team RLL (Rahal, Letterman and Lanigan). This machine replaces the M3 GT that completed four years of service and won the class title in 2010 and 2011. Naturally, the team is tempering expectations for the Z4 GTE by repeating the fact that it sees this season as a development year.
BMW Team RLL drivers for its two cars will be Bill Auberlen and series rookie Maxime Martin in the No. 55, aided by Jörg Müller for the endurance races at Sebring and Road Atlanta. The No. 56 car gets Dirk Müller on a full-time basis, Joey Hand when he's not competing in the DTM series, and John Edwards when Hand isn't available. Uwe Alzen will help out with driving duties in the No. 56 at endurance races.

Audi to spend $17 billion to fight BMW
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It's no secret that VW Group, parent company to not only Volkswagen but also Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati brands sold in the US, is determined to become the world's largest automaker. Even more impressive is that VW is prepared to spend billions to make it happen.
With that comes word that VW Group will be spending $17 billion on its Audi brand over the next three years to push itself above rival BMW. The money will be invested in both vehicle development (including lightweight auto design and alternative powertrains) and facilities (including expansion in Hungary, China and new operations in Mexico). The luxury brand is focused on global manufacturing infrastructure.
Already Europe's best-selling luxury brand, Audi's objective is to overtake BMW by the end of the decade by selling more than two million cars per year (BMW is shooting for 1.54 million sales in 2013). If those objectives are met, VW Group should be on track to be the industry's volume leader by 2018.
NHTSA gives okay for three automakers to skirt tire-related recalls
Thu, 25 Jul 2013BMW, Honda, and Mercedes-Benz are all going to avoid small recalls, after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued petitions for "findings of inconsequential noncompliance" to the three manufacturers, according to Tire Business. Basically, the petitions allow the brands to avoid recalls for some very, very minor issues.
BMW had tire placards on 364 X6 M CUVs that stated the car could only handle four passengers, when in reality it had room for three in the back. Actual plausibility of fitting three real humans in the slope-roofed Bimmer aside, the Munich-based manufacturer argued it was inconsequential, as the placards were correct regardless of the number of passengers.
Honda's case focused on 212 2011 and 2012 Acura TSX sedans equipped with 18-inch wheels. The TPMS systems on these cars were set for 17-inch wheels, rather than the larger hoops, but even with the lower settings, the tires maintain adequate load capacity.
