Ok everyone, I will try to be thorough here so you know exactly what I have as its time to let my baby go to a new home. I have the NICEST, CLEANEST and most UPDATED X5 you will find anywhere in LA. Always garaged, under FULL BMW WARRANTY until 8/2015. It just turned over 50k miles. Also... I'm not a crazy CL scammer.. Just a BMW nerd and obsessive about this car. Feel free to call/text/email about it, my name is Chris 213.804.6730
Will list options later but first.....
UPGRADES: (All professionally done, with the best parts)
Ok, here is where this truck exceeds anything else out there...
-Front turn signals changed to Amber LED. This eliminates the "egg yolk" effect so you have no orange in the lights except when the turn signal is on. Also the LED makes it look super modern as its instant on and instant off.
-Angel Eyes have been upgraded from the halogen (yellow-ish color light) to full LED. So the front lights look like the 2012-2013 X5.
-BMW Aero kit. This includes the front and rear bumper spoilers that make the car look (tastefully) upgraded. Also makes the rear bumper look more like the 2013 version.
-2013 taillights. Yes, the Tail light assembly has also been upgraded with BMW Factory lights for the 2013 model.
-FULL LED interior package. EVERY bulb inside has been changed to match the head lights and courtesy lights mounted under the door handles. No more yellow interior lights, this is all super white.
-LED fog lamps. I had the fog lamps upgraded to the blue/white to match the headlights.
-Orange reflector delete / euro reflector swap. The front of the X5 has orange corner reflectors that I had swapped out with smoked ones. They are very high quality and look amazing.
-Euro TECH/Option Package. This is the icing on the cake. There are a list of features available to European buyers that we do not get in the US. I have all of these installed for you. These include:
-----Roll up/down windows, open/close sunroof from key fob
-----Fold side mirrors in/out from key fob... this looks particularly impressive when you jump out of the car and all the windows close and mirrors fold in as you walk away....
-----CLOSE rear power lift-gate from key fob and from button INSIDE car (US option is only OPEN from key and inside cabin... you have to press a button on the lift-gate itself to close it.)
-----No "accept" on the navigation every time you get in the car. (you're welcome)
-----Orange turn signals do not illuminate full time when lights are on. (signals blink, but then are not on permanently with lights.. so front is all LED/HID hyper white... no orange)
-----Hazard lights are a double flash then pause, double flash. Not a huge feature but its kind of cool.
-BMW Factory ipod/iphone cable already purchased and included ($80)
-BMW Factory Roof rack $300
-BMW Factory windshield shade $60
-BMW Factory floor mats $175
Maintenance:
Tires were new June 2012 (although I had to replace a rear one 2 months ago do to a fatal puncture, so 3 are a year old and one is brand new), Front brakes done last month with Japanese dustless pads (amazing pads... keeps your rims clean!!) Tie rod ends also done at the same time. Oil change at dealer 2 weeks ago, new air suspension, alternator and some engine seal (Yay warranty!!). Currently needs nothing for 10K miles. Oh, new top of the line AGM battery as well with a 3 year warranty.
Vehicle:
Honestly it's easier to list the features it doesn't have because its LOADED with every option available EXCEPT, 3rd row seats, rear DVD and air cooled seats. Seriously this thing has things on it that I am still discovering. But it for sure has all of the impressive ones, like push start (key just has to be in your pocket), touch the door handle and it unlocks/locks, HID headlights that move when you turn, DUAL subwoofers, iPod integration, speak commands for navi, phone, radio, power lift-gate, heated seats, 20" wheels, ugh... this thing is amazing.

2015 BMW M4 Convertible will give the best bad hair days
Wed, 16 Apr 2014BMW officially unveiled the 2015 M4 Convertible at the Javits Center in New York this morning. The droptop, which will slot in next to the M4 Coupe in BMW's performance line, offers infinitely more headroom, fresh air and sunshine for those that want a little more great outdoors and tousled hair with their M experience.
Visually, the M4 convertible is similar to the coupe, and carries on the hardtop's athletic stance with a long wheelbase, short front overhang, aerodynamic mirrors and in the case of this showcar, optional yellow-painted brake calipers. The car's expressive, angry face is perhaps the most notable aspect of its styling, screaming "get the hell out of my way!" with its signature twin-bar kidney grille, trio of air intakes and squinty LED headlights. Inside, the convertible employs three-temperature neck warmers (for chilly top-down days), an absurd amount of "M" logos and a wealth of luxury and technology features.
The rear-wheel-drive convertible uses the same engine as the coupe: a high-revving, twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six producing 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, mated to either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission. BMW says the car can make a 0-60 sprint in just 4.4 seconds when equipped with the manual.
Audi leading rival BMW in worldwide luxury sales race
Tue, 11 Mar 2014If you thought competition among the German luxury automakers was hot before, it looks like things are just getting started. For the first two months of the year, Audi has sold more cars than BMW worldwide by just 383 cars.
Audi claims to have sold 242,400 vehicles through February, up 9.3 percent from last year, compared to 242,017 units from BMW, up 8.9 percent, in the same period. While the advantage is tiny, its implications could be huge because Bimmer has been the leader in the premium car segment for the last nine consecutive years. Mercedes-Benz lags behind them somewhat at 229,630 vehicles through February. According to Bloomberg, at this time last year Audi had sold 429 fewer cars than BMW.
The growth is all part of Volkswagen Group's goal to become the world's largest automaker. It currently ranks in second when its heavy truck businesses are considered. The German automotive giant also wants to be the world's leading premium carmaker. "Competition in the premium segment is more intense than ever," said Audi CEO Rupert Stadler to Bloomberg.
BMW i8's three-cylinder sounds like it's shaping up quite nicely
Tue, 25 Mar 2014We've run across some rather interesting news... or perhaps we should say interesting sounds. The folks from Bimmerpost have scrounged up a short video showing a preproduction BMW i8 running through a few gears in Sport mode at a quick pace, and if you were concerned that the somewhat eco-friendly nature of the upcoming German sports car would neuter its ability to stir the aural senses, fret not.
Judging by the lovely noise coming from the engine compartment of the i8 in the video, BMW's expertise in tuning high-strung, small-bore engines - remember, BMW Motorrad has quite the penchant for well-conceived motorcycle engines - has come through loud and clear. Now, it's worth mentioning that BMW's controversial Active Sound technology will be included with the i8, so the production car may not sound exactly like this version, which is running with the tech disabled. Owners won't have the ability to disable Active Sound on production i8s.
In related news, Bimmerpost reports that BMW will equip the i8 with an external Active Sound Design system to go along with its Pedestrian Protection System. That means those on the outside will likely hear piped engine recordings from the rear and a sort of "howl" from the front in order to warn pedestrians that the otherwise quiet (when running on electricity, that is) car is approaching. It will also feature technology that can stop the car before contacting a pedestrian.
