This is an amazing 2008 BMW M5. It has the Black Sapphire Metallic Pearl exterior paint that changes from jet black to a deep charcoal pearl depending upon the time of day and lighting. It has the top level interior package for the M5 in 2008, the sport comfort active heated and cooled front seats, with heated spit folding rear seats with built in ski bag passthrough armrest. It also has the heads-up display, hand stitched leather dash and full sued headliner. It has the built in iPod/iPhone docking cable, bluetooth, keyless "touch" access and start button, navigation and full voice activation for all i-drive/phone applications. It has factory M5 floor mats including the carpeted M5 truck mat. I added the factory OEM black "kidney" front grills. I also added complete dual K&N cold air intakes which add an approximate 5-7%hp. The hand built 5.0L V10 has 507hp stock, so it is running somewhere in the 530hp range. I also kept all of the factory air intake parts and will send them with the car. It has the SMG sport 7 speed automatic gearbox. This gives you all the fun of a manual without the hassle of pushing in a clutch pedal in daily traffic. I upgraded the wheels to the 2013 M5/M6 style wheels to update the styling. I also have a complete set of almost brand new Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires that may be negotiable with the sale. The car was originally sold in the southwest and lived most of its life in the Phoenix area, so it has seen very little rain snow etc. I purchased it at the end of October 2012 from BMW of North Scottsdale, AZ with 31,000 miles. I travel for my job, so the 23,000+ miles I have added to the vehicle have all been freeway miles. It is by far the most amazing car I have ever owned and I hate to sell it but with the current economy I have to let it go. I will entertain all reasonable offers.

BMW sets Guinness record for longest drift with new M5 [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013In September of 2011, Chinese drifter Wang Qi broke the Guinness record for the world's longest sustained drift, doing 13 laps inside the Olympic Center Stadium in Tianlin, China for 5,802.3 meters. That was broken in February of this year by Abdo Feghali in Abu Dhabi drifting a new Chevrolet Camaro around a skidpad for 11,180 meters - almost seven miles. In March, BMW decided it wanted the record "back in the US," and set up a course at its BMW Performance Driving School near Greenville, South Carolina to get the job done. On May, 11 it was Mission Accomplished when Performance Center driver Johan Schwartz drifted an M5 around a skidpad continuously for 51.3 miles.
Despite that accomplishment, we're pretty sure that professional drifter Vaughn Gittin, Jr. isn't impressed. The way Guinness defines "drifting" can also describe a donut, which is effectively the kind of drifting that's been done for these last three records. BMW went even further by watering down the surface of the track, reducing the skill required and the need to change tires during the effort. On the other hand, you can't drift a car for long in a straight line, but perhaps there should be some clarification or classifications added to the milestones.
There's a short video below taken during the record-breaking run, and a press release from the company that did it.
2015 BMW X6 keeps it weird
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Say what you will about the BMW X6 - odd and ugly as it may be, it's actually been sort of successful for the German automaker. BMW has now sold some 250,000 examples of the X6 since its launch, and the company's fastback-crossover-coupe-whatever-thing gets a host of meaningful updates for the 2015 model year while not straying from its original mission.
Aside from its revised styling, most noticeably set apart by its larger, X5-inspired headlamps, the biggest update for the US-spec X6 is the addition of a rear-wheel-drive model, the sDrive35i. This trim joins the all-wheel-drive xDrive35i and xDrive50i, and since you should all be capable of decoding BMW's weird naming structure by now, you know this means the X6 will be offered with a choice of 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder and twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engines. Fuel economy figures have not been released yet, but BMW says the new powertrains are more efficient than before, mated exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission regardless of cylinder count.
Look for the updated X6 to hit US showrooms this fall, following its debut this week in Paris. Expect pricing to be revealed closer to the model's on-sale date. Have a look below for all of the details.
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.
