2003 Bmw 530i Base Sedan 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States
|
I have for sale a used 2003 BMW 530i. NEVER SMOKED IN!! I purchased the vehicle used from BMW as a certified preowned vehicle. I purchased it in 2007 with 38000 miles on the vehicle. The vehicle is in decent cosmetic shape as you can see in the pictures. The major problems include an intermittently functioning PCM module which causes the speedometer to work intermittently (also effects actual mileage). In addition, the transmission needs to be rebuilt. The engine runs great. When it is placed in drive the car will initially not go, then will jump and a transmission fault will display on the instrument display. It will then drive fine only it will not shift gears. I was told by a local BMW repair shop, the transmission needs to be rebuilt. This would be a great car for someone who can do the work themselves or knows someone who can save them the labor costs. The car is very quiet and fun to drive. As expected for a car this age, there are cosmetic defects in the paint and interior, most noticeable being on the front passenger side of the hood (chipped paint), and worn but not torn leather. Tires are in good shape, purchased approximately 1 year ago. I will be happy to provide more details or pics if needed. I can accept walmart or USPS money order, cash in person, paypal may only be used for deposit as detailed in payment information. Buyer pays shipping or vehicle can be picked up by the buyer. Vehicle is sold AS IS knowing that repairs are needed.

BMW says current M3 sold out, no new AWD M models planned
Mon, 06 May 2013Car and Driver asked the head of BMW M, Friedrich Nitschke, a few questions about what the go-fast division had in mind for the future, and was rewarded with some enlightening answers. The best news to purist ears is that Nitschke said customers don't want all-wheel drive on their M cars, so it's the rear wheels alone that will propel new product into the future. If you want both an M badge and four driven wheels, it's the X5 M, X6 M and M Performance models you're looking for in the catalog.
"Mixed bag" is the phrase you're looking for regarding the other answers. Nitschke said that future M engines "at the core of their architecture" would "be closer to BMW AG engines" that are optimized for M cars, instead of following in the line of unique marvels like the V10 and naturally aspirated V8. They will keep the high redlines, however, with Nitschke saying "there is room beyond" the 7,000 rpm mark in BMW's current V8 turbos.
Managing weight will keep the same priority for M that it is for every other brand, so electrically assisted power steering is coming, as is an "unconventional" materials mix. At the smaller end of the M scale, Nitschke described three-cylinder engines as "attractive," saying that the brand can produce more than 310 horsepower from a three-pot.
BMW joins the early holiday advertising fray with three new ads
Thu, 06 Nov 2014October 31 is no longer known as Halloween, or All Saints' Eve or even as that day when all children simultaneously develop huge cavities. It's now known as the day before Christmas/holiday advertising begins. Seriously, as of November 1, it seems like companies across the country and from every industry have declared open season on holiday ad campaigns. It's all premature enough that we're already feeling our inner Grinch showing, but at least some of the ads are better done than others.
Among them are new spots from BMW, which has arrived with this mini-campaign of three 30-second, Christmas-themed spots. There's a cameo from Santa Claus, who's at the helm of a sleek M6 Gran Coupe in one spot, while a 3 Series Gran Coupe slices through a slalom of Christmas trees in another. The final spot, called "Road Home", doesn't focus so much on the brand's "Ultimate Driving Machines," as it does the trip home for the holidays.
We've embedded all three videos below, so take a look and then let us know what you think of this seemingly perpetual holiday marketing calendar creep - and the BMW ads in particular - in Comments.
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.
