2007 Bmw M5 on 2040-cars

Regretfully it is time to sell my 2007 M5, my pride and joy and "one day dream car". The car is a DREAM to drive.
Overall the car is in good if not great shape. The car runs great and came from Texas. I've had it for about a year
now but we will soon be expanding the family and it won't fit everyone anymore.
In the last year the brakes have been redone (by my dealer, I didn't do it). I also replaced 1 of the 2 throttle
actuators. This is a known design flaw on these S85 V10s. I replaced the one with an OEM part and worked with a BMW
expert supplier to put upgraded gears in the other actuator in hopes of preventing the other from failing. They
have been installed for about 6 months or 6000 miles without any issues. I recently put a new thermostat in as
well. With exception to the OEM part known for failure, all parts replaced are OEM parts, nothing aftermarket.
Tires in the rear are new, fronts just don't seem to wear as fast. This car has been adult driven and isn't abused
in any way.
The biggest thing that sets this car apart (and why I bought it in the first place) is that it is NOT an SMG
transmission. This car is a true 6 speed manual making it an absolute joy to drive. The SMGs all have pump failures
that run $3000 every time it fails.

BMW M4 spied in coupe and convertible form
Thu, 29 Aug 2013From the sound of it, we'll have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to see the production version of the BMW M4, but spy shots show the new hi-po BMW testing recently in both coupe and convertible form. Showing a lot more skin than recent spy shots, these M4 prototypes look very similar to the M4 Concept we saw at Pebble Beach.
Carryovers from the concept car include the funky mirrors, bulging hood and the slotted front fascia vents, but the rear fascia seems to be missing the added flair of the concept and, as expected, the carbon fiber front splitter and exhaust tips are also missing from these M4s. Like the current M3 Convertible, the drop-top version of the M4 will utilize a retractable hard top.
Bangle urges auto design shakeup, says industry not innovating
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Controversial designer Chris Bangle, the man behind the notorious E65 BMW 7-Series "Bangle Butt," has some rather sharp criticism for the current crop of automotive designers in an upcoming full-length interview with Automotive News Europe. The preview, posted on Automotive News, details parts of the interview, with the always vocal Bangle lamenting the state of modern automotive design.
"Even concept cars today simply anticipate the next production model coming down the line. Is this innovation? No. And at the end of the day this is what's preventing car design from moving into a new era." Controversial as Bangle's design philosophy may be, we can't help but think he has a point. His so-called "flame surfacing" at BMW and other stylistic elements had a huge influence on modern automotive design, although as the years have passed, there hasn't been much innovation on the same scale.
Interestingly, Bangle also mentions that he's been courted by a few manufacturers that wanted to install the American as the head of their design teams. He's flatly rejected them, telling ANE, "It's not something you can do part time, you have to do it with all your heart and soul or you're going to get it wrong."
Will global automakers drop local JV partners if China's government says they can?
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Chinese economic policies could be in for a big change, as President Xi Jinping pushes the communist country to open its domestic markets even further. That could mean big things for the auto industry, especially when it comes to the country's far-reaching joint-venture system.
According to Chinese law, foreign automakers may only maintain a fifty-fifty partnership with their domestic counterparts. But with Jinping's push for openness leading to potential free-trade deals, that policy could be relaxed (or eradicated all together) in short order. What's an automaker to do?
Well, in BMW's case, stay the course. Automotive News Europe reports that, despite the grumblings about the JV policy changes, the German manufacturer has resigned its agreement with Brilliance through 2028. This is made doubly remarkable by the fact that BMW signed the extension over three years before it was set to expire.
