Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

BMW 540i with sport package, Runs and drives great, smooth and powerful, quiet and comfortable, no check engine light or any other trouble codes, does not smoke or make any strange sounds, everything works as it should (power windows, moonroof, power seats with memory, power mirrors, power rear shade, etc.), A/C blows very cold.

I purchased this car last year because I needed a second vehicle for a time.  Tires, battery, spark plugs, brake pads, windshield have all been replaced within last year.  I will continue to use this car as my to and from work driver until I sell it, so mileage may increase slightly.  In my opinion, this car is in good condition for its age and mileage; however it is 15 years old so please do not expect a brand new car.  It comes with two sets of original BMW floor mats (one grey carpet set, and one black all weather rubber set) as well as a rubber trunk liner.  I have one key.  I have a clear Nevada title in my name. 

the cons:
small dent in rear driver side quarter panel right next to trunk lid (please see pictures)
It does have a oil leak, looks to be from either the valve covers or oil pan gasket
clear code is peeling from the hood

The pros:
Runs and drives great, no smokes, noises, smells, etc
powerful and quiet motor
transmission shifts smoothly
very cold a/c
all the accessories including the cd changer work well

I have provided as much detail as I can think of, and this car is available for inspection in Las Vegas; however, this is a used vehicle and is being sold as-is without any type of warranty.  Please contact me with any questions prior to biding.

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe caught without cladding

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Like it or not, the majority of BMW 3 Series variants are on their way out, and the 4 Series models are hotly embroiled in the testing needed to replace them. We've now driven the basic 4 Series, seen spy photographs of the 4 Series Convertible and both versions of the M4 and today we get a better-than-ever look at the 4 Series Gran Coupe.
And, mostly dependent on your personal disposition towards four-dour coupes, that look should be a pleasant thing. The long, swooping Gran Coupe may be roughly similar in size to the related 3 Series GT, but it has been sculpted with beauty in mind rather than crossover function. We expect that those details still hidden by the body cladding here, mostly front and rear, can be filled in by simply remembering what the standard 4 Series looks like and squinting your eyes a bit. Subtlety is thy name, BMW variants.
As for the mechanicals, well, we expect to have the very same greasy bits under the hood and beneath the car that are found in the 4 Series lineup, too.

Translogic 153: 2015 BMW i8

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

The 2015 BMW i8 is the second model in the Bavarian automaker's eco-friendly i-branded lineup. The i8's plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine with a 96-kilowatt electric motor to make 357 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. Together, this gas-electric mechanical duo is capable of propelling the groundbreaking carbon-fiber sports coupe from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.2 seconds.
Join Translogic host Jonathon Buckley as he heads to Santa Monica, CA for a chance to drive the all-new BMW i8.

BMW looking to save billions with cost cuts

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

BMW is planning a fairly extensive overhaul in a bid to recoup some its annual costs, with CEO Norbert Reithofer (pictured above) aiming to save three to four billion euro ($4 to $5.4 billion) per year to help keep the company's profit margins between eight and 10 percent, while also maintaining investments in production expansion and new tech. BMW's profit margins sat at 9.4 percent in 2013.
According to Automotive News Europe, Reithofer is none too pleased about costs at Mini and on the 1 Series, although neither AN nor its source story, from Germany's Manager Magazin, elaborate on what steps could be taken to improve losses on either project. That makes it hard to figure out just where the fat will be trimmed from.
What may happen, though, is that BMW attempts to trim 100 million euros ($135 million) from its German labor costs each year; a solution hinted at a few weeks ago by Germany newspaper Muenchner Merkur. While a dramatic cost reduction, 100 million euros still doesn't begin to even approach the savings envisioned by Reithofer.
