The Kelly Blue Book value for this remarkable car is $46,486.
This is a beautiful car that I special ordered. As of today, I owe $50,441.74 to BMW Financial. The buy now price of $44,000.00 is the minimum that I will accept prior to the end of the auction, so no need asking for me to unlist for an offer less than that. However, the reserve is set at a very reasonable 39,750.01. If it doesn't sell for at least that amount, I will keep the car or relist it. Under no circumstances will I take less than that, so there is no need to wait for the auction to end and then ask me to take less. It just ain't happening.
This transaction will work as follows (unless we agree to other amicable terms). Once you have agreed to buy the car, we will contact BMW Financial together to make the payment arrangements. All funds will be sent to BMW financial.. You will send a cashier's check for the purchase price (less the $500 deposit) to BMW financial and I will send a cashier's check for the remaining amount owed on the loan (plus the deposit). BMW will keep the funds in escrow until all funds are received and have cleared. The car will then be delivered and the title will be sent directly from BMW Financial to the purchaser. That way we are both protected by the 3rd party (BMW).
The car is in excellent mechanical condition. It is still under warranty until 50K miles.
All services by a BMW dealer. An inspection was conducted by the dealer last week and the report is available. Everything checked out perfect with the following exception: there was a slight warp detected in the front rotors, so brand new rotors will be installed on Tuesday.
I recently purchased new tires for the front. The rear tires were changed out about 7 months ago. All tires were purchased from and installed by the dealer. I also purchased 5 years of insurance on the wheels/tires. I had existing scrapes on two of the wheels repaired about 3 months ago.
The interior is black extended leather (seats, doors, lower dash below trim, steering wheel, shift, center console) with carbon leather trim, all black. It's awesome and in perfect condition.
Premium Sound: This is the most incredible sound system I have ever heard in a car (period).

EVERY OPTION added with the exception of heated seats and performance exhaust.
The exterior is jerez black - deep black with a blue undertint that looks so cool in the sun. There is a small (quarter inch) surface scratch on the hood (see pics). It doesn't show through to the primer so you can't see it until you are up close to the hood. There is a very small ding at the very rear of the roof (see pics). I have no idea how it got there. It looks like a hail dent but I don't think it's ever been in hail. The right rearview mirror has a small scuff that I haven't tried buffing out (see pics). These are all very minor and I'm sure a body shop could take care of them for a couple hundred bucks or if you have any talent in that area yourself (I don't) you can probably do it yourself. I have some touch up paint in case you need it.
I get asked about the higher mileage. I've driven the car to Colorado (Vail area) and Utah (Provo area) twice. Also, my firm's main office is a 3 hour drive from where I live, and I commute there about 2 times a month.

Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
2014 BMW X5 recalled over faulty child-safety locks
Tue, 27 May 2014BMW is set to recall some 6,400 of its new-for-2014 X5 SUVs built between December 12, 2013 and March 10, 2014 due to concerns that the child safety locks, if set, might deactivate without warning. The problem affects only those vehicles with the automatic soft-closing option.
According to the bulletin issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the lock mechanism on the rear doors "may not have been manufactured to correct tolerances," meaning the safety locks could disengage with a simple pull of the door handle. Basically, with a pair of tugs, the rear doors could be opened from the inside, regardless of child safety locks.
BMW is in the process of notifying owners of affected vehicles. Any necessary repairs will be conducted free of charge. Take a look below for the official press release from NHTSA.
BMW M3 driving off cliff is a chilling PSA
Mon, 10 Jun 2013We're a little shocked that the unnamed owner of this cliff-diving E46 BMW M3 would upload the in-car footage of his accident to YouTube. Not only that, he uploaded two videos: raw footage of his roll down the cliff (it looks like somewhere in the Southwest, maybe Arizona) and a tribute video for his BMW that suffered the most severe consequences of understeer. Not only does uploading the videos leave him wide open for judgment by fellow enthusiasts (just read the YouTube comments), but we imagine if the police and his insurance company somehow don't know about the incident already, they will shortly. Scroll below to view for yourself.
The raw footage shows the sort of driving that led to the M3's violent tumble, and it serves as a good public service announcement reminder for everyone out there: Just like the Spengler's streams, double yellow lines aren't meant to be crossed. Also, hard driving is one thing, but hammering on public roads at speeds clearly above your skill levels as a driver is not only a recipe for legal trouble, it's a script for ruining your car at the very least, if not your life.
