Now is your chance to own a beautiful Sterling Gray Metallic 2002 BMW M5 for a great price!
136K miles on it.
The M5 interior is in excellent shape, everything wrapped in black leather all the way down to the door sills, Italian stitching across, grey Alcantara suede covers the roof and along the a,b, and c pillars, light wood burl accents, grey gauges that light up golden with the classic BMW orange ambient lights throughout.
Exterior is awesome as well, deep granite paint with the flat black accents including the kidney grill (the original chrome grill is included). 18" OEM "Ghost spoke" offset rims and quad exhaust. People cannot believe it is a 2002.
This car is stock, never raced, no crazy upgrades, and very classy...

Runs so strong with its 4.9L V-8 pushing 394 HP through the 6-speed manual gear box. So fast, so much low-end torque. This a favorite of car enthusiasts and the M5 has a superb reputation.
Very good maintenance performed, most of it at the dealer, and then La Jolla Independent BMW. Pre-sale inspection found no major mechanical issues, you are welcome to contact them, or take it to your own mechanic .
I am so sad to have to sell, but I do not have the room for three cars, so you should love it instead.
The M5 is in great shape for 136k miles, but in the spirit of full disclosure I will tell you the issues that I have found. They are pretty standard issues for a BMW and for the age; Minor curb-rash, minor front bumper scrapes & small rock chips, AC very cold and heat hot, but AC likes to default back to auto-mode instead of staying on the feet or top of dash mode, auto-tint rear view mirror permanently in "tint-mode", weeping power-steering hoses need top off every 1000 miles, missing pixels in dash but still able to read everything just fine, and a very minor squeak in the belt tensioner can sometimes be heard at idle, but otherwise the M5 is incredibly strong and the issues do not diminish performance or comfort...
Here are some highlights and maintenance that has been performed-
• Band new tires & alignment (rears this month, fronts replaced in Nov.)
• 2003 Sat-Nav Professionally installed
• iPod Dice connector installed with 6-disc changer included with car
• 3-Keys
• Professional Tint (limo in the rear, but lighter up front so you won't get pulled over)
• Professional front headlight restoration
• New floor mats
• New M5 rear emblem (nice and bright)
• New shift boot and weighted OEM Z-shift knob for cleaner shorter throws.
• New exterior window rubber along front and back
• Replaced entire front end (control arms, thrust arms, tie rods, and all the bushings)
• Replaced center bearing for tighter performance along drive shaft
• Full 100k tune-up including new plugs, filters, and thermostat
• Clutch and Flex in excellent condition
• New window regulators, new Sunroof Kit installed
• 2 Cam sensors, airbag & seat belt sensors, and hood sensors replaced
• AC control and resistor replaced
• Belts and PCV hoses replaced
• Replaced Battery
• Just smogged in March
As you can see, many of the normal BMW failures and maintenance issues have already been corrected. This car is ready to go, (although I do not hold the title, I still owe to the credit union). But, I am very motivated to sell and will work with you. I just leased a new car so I need to sell as soon as possible and no reasonable offer will be denied!
Contact me so we can make a deal! (530) 680-8207.

Cafe racer motorbikes storm Japan
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Japan may be best known, at least among motorcycle enthusiasts, for its sport bikes. But as we found at the Tokyo Motor Show this year, Japanese motorcycle manufacturers are capable of producing all kinds of motorbikes. And to our delight, that includes cafe racers.
Along with the myriad electric bikes, dirt bikes, crotch rockets and scooters, the halls of Tokyo's Big Site convention center this year were full of the retro-infused rides we love. Chief among them was the Bolt (shown above) which Yamaha exhibited alongside their various electric two-wheelers, sporting a delicious metallic blue paintjob, inverted handlebars and hanging mirrors, machined metal bits, blacked-out trim and saddle brown leatherwork.
Honda was also on hand with a new EX version of its '70s-style CB1100 retro roadster in sinister and low-key matte black. And this was our first chance to check out BMW Motorrad's new birthday present to its 90-year-old self, the R NineT, a model recently unveiled at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. But one of the most amusing retro rides we came across was the Honda Monkey Limited, a mini bike that makes the new 125cc Grom (which was displayed alongside it) look positively gigantic.
BMW readying competition pack for M5, M6
Thu, 25 Apr 2013According to Car and Driver, citing a report in BMW Blog, BMW will be offering performance upgrades - likely called the Competition package - for its M5 and M6 models (including the convertible and Gran Coupe versions of the M6). Both cars will continue to be offered with the normal 560-horsepower, 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engines, but this new performance pack is expected to add an additional 15 hp to the mix.
No need to worry, however - the upgrades won't simply be limited to a small boost in power. These M5 and M6 models will reportedly get new wheels, black exhaust tips, a more direct steering ratio and reworked suspension geometry which will provide better overall handling. Top speed is said to remain governed at 190 miles per hour, but that these extra improvements will shave one-tenth of a second off the cars' 0-60 times.
No pricing information has been revealed as of this writing, though we imagine it'll likely come at a substantial cost over the current starting prices of the M5 and M6 ($90,200 and $108,350, respectively).
BMW M135i vs. Mercedes A45 AMG in Euro small-lux throwdown
Fri, 19 Jul 2013BMW and Mercedes-Benz - please, please, please bring the M135i and A45 AMG hatchbacks to North America. For as long as we can remember, buyers in the New World have been forced to look longingly at Europe and Great Britain and the excellent super hatches that are so routinely offered there. And while we're quite content with the Ford Focus ST and Volkswagen GTI, having a 360-horse five-door with a premium, content-rich interior sounds quite nice.
Our envy for Europe has grown after watching the latest video from Drive, which stars Chris Harris, the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG and the BMW M135i. This latest battle between MB and BMW takes place on both road and track, with Harris providing a running commentary. If you're interested in the upcoming Mercedes CLA45 AMG, you should pay special attention to the section on the A45, as the two are essentially fraternal twins. While the video is a bit on the long side, it provides a comprehensive rundown of both cars, giving those of us in North America just a small taste of what we're missing.
