2004 Bmw 530i Sedan E60, 6-speed Manual With Premium Trim Package on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
|
Hello! I am selling my 2004 BMW 530i / E60 Sedan! It has been a blast to own and has served me very well, and I can now say I've owned the "Ultimate Driving Machine." But it is time we part ways. Reason for selling is to finance travel, also as much as I love driving stick shift the constant use of my left leg for the clutch has been aggravating a pre-existing injury so I'm trying to get away from manuals altogether.
Before I get into details, let me just state the obvious. This car is really, really nice! It runs strong, it is clean, it's in great cosmetic condition and it impresses everyone who sees or rides in it. The original list price on this car was about $45,000. As for the details: - ~96,900 miles - 3.0L I6, 225HP - 6-speed Manual Transmission, RWD - Rated 20/30 MPG, I get around 33 MPG on the highway when driving mindfully (awesome on gas for long distances), average around 25-27 MPG overall. Daily driving gets about 500 miles on the full 18.5 gallon tank, highway driving I've gotten almost 600 miles on a tank. 91+ octane premium gasoline is suggested by BMW. Features:
Everything works except the GPS software as noted. - Excellent running condition when checked by a BMW specialist in mid 2013. This car is quick for its size and weight and really moves on the highway with 6th gear. - Recently serviced at Reeves BMW Tampa w/ oil change, fluids top-off and 28-point checkup (mostly clear, items needing attention detailed below) - Clutch is smooth like butter. No grinding gears, automatic clutch makes for smooth, easy shifting all day. I've been very impressed by the manual transmission in this car, it is nothing like manual transmissions I have used in the past. Very much a luxury driving experience while still preserving the integrity of a manual transmission. - Black leather interior with wood trim, all clean and in great condition. No rips, tears or holes in seats or panels. Floor mats all present, clean, no stains, holes, burns etc. Clean non-smoking vehicle. All cabin lights work, all windows open/close automatically with single press. - Exterior in great condition, some small blemishes are visible when looking up close but nothing major. There is a rub along the bottom/underside of the passenger side lower panel, between the tires. Also a rub on the bottom of the corners of the front driver's side bumper, and front + back passenger's side bumper. They are along the bottom so they can't really be seen unless you are crouching down. See pictures. - All blinkers, parking lamps and exterior lights work except for the halos. - Paint and clear coat is good, car could use a real wax but there is no fading, dry spots or rust. Headlights look like the clear is coming off a little bit along the top, this is only visible up close in daylight. - K&N Performance Intake filter installed in November 2013 - Cabin microfilters both replaced in November 2013 - Premium Bosch windshield wipers installed September 2013 - Fresh oil change & fluids topped off at 96,800 miles at BMW dealership - Full spare in place in the trunk, unused. Also first aid kit in the trunk. Things to be aware of: - Needs rear brake pads, brake fluid and possibly rotors - Tires at about 30% tread, probably have a few months left in them. Currently Toyo Proxes, non run-flat. - Trunk needs shock strut replaced, currently swings open (simple replacement) - Oil dipstick seems to be stuck but I-Drive monitors oil levels like a hawk and alerts you as necessary so I've not needed it. - Pneumatic arms for the hood don't hold up, can be replaced or you can just use a stick/pole. - Xenon High- and low-beam headlights work but no halos - Needs new GPS disc - Only one key (original), battery is dead so remote doesn't work. - Wiper fluid sprayers don't spray (pump runs, nothing comes out) - Service engine light came on at 90k miles, asking for routine service check - AC needs recharge but feels fine in moderate temperatures and at night, cools down more after the car runs for a few minutes. Heater works fine. Clear title in hand, clean Carfax history. Well-maintained with routine maintenance and service performed as necessary, all previous owners have been mature adults. No accidents or body work. VIN: WBANA73594B048302 Buyer is responsible for arranging shipping and all associated costs, I can help with making arrangements as necessary. I can also deliver the car, email me to discuss cost. I think that covers just about everything. If there are any specific details not found here or you'd like photos of specific areas I will be more than happy to provide them to you, just shoot me a message or give me a call at (813) 508-1991. My name is Gabe. Thanks for looking! |

BMW offers xDrive on 2015 2 Series
Fri, 06 Jun 2014BMW has released its mile-long list of model changes for 2015. It's mostly comprised of tiny tweaks to options packages, pricing or trim colors, but there are a few interesting new features in there too. One thing all buyers will notice is that as of July 1, the company's destination charge increases by $25, to $950 for all of its models.
The 2 Series gets two really useful upgrades for 2015. We already knew that BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system would be offered on the M235i this summer. However, it won't be the only 2 capable of spinning all four wheels. The 228i model will also be available with the system for $34,850 (after destination), $1,800 more than the standard model.
The other big addition brings a sportier ride to the 228i (with or without xDrive) for those who don't want to spring for the M235i. BMW is adding a Track Handling Package (pictured above) that lowers the suspension 10mm and includes the Adaptive M Suspension, Variable Sport Steering, M Sport Brakes and 18-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. It's available on manual or automatic models at $1,600 for cars ordered with the M Sport or Sport Line trims or $2,200 without it.
2014 BMW 535d xDrive
Thu, 20 Feb 2014I absolutely love to travel, but man, do I hate flying. Not the act of flying itself, but air travel in general - slogging through the airport, dealing with security, fighting with delays, only to finally be crammed like cattle into a too-small airplane seat where you're offered $8 sandwiches that are half-frozen. (Okay, it's not always that bad, but still.)
So when I was tasked with attending the launch for the 2015 Subaru WRX STI in Carmel, CA, I had a choice to make. I could fly into San Francisco and find my own way down to Carmel, or I could grab a turbo-prop out of SFO and fly directly into Monterey. And since you're reading about all of this in a car review, it's pretty obvious which option I chose.
The current BMW 5 Series isn't a new car, despite receiving a couple of updates for the 2014 model year. But what is new is the 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline six-cylinder engine found underhood, borrowed from the larger X5 xDrive35d and also seen in the upcoming 740Ld xDrive. It's a honey of an engine, and here in the 5 Series, it makes for a truly first-class experience.
Toyota sells off Tesla shares, too
Fri, 24 Oct 2014The incredible rise of Tesla's stock price has done little to now stop two major shareholders from ditching their stake in the American EV manufacturer. First, Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, ditched its four-percent stake, and less than a week later, Toyota is doing the same thing, selling off an undisclosed bit of its Tesla investment.
The move comes as Toyota winds down sales of the RAV4 EV, which gets its batteries and electric motor from Tesla at the company's Fremont, CA factory.
"We have a good relationship with Tesla, and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects," Toyota spokesperson Kayo Doi told Bloomberg via email.
