I have owned this beautiful eye catching car for 6 years...it has never left me stranded...this car started life in NJ then moved to FL after a few years and never went back,,,I think it had 4 owners before me,,,but I remember for sure that it had no wrecks reported (otherwise I would not have bought it) I think I still have the report somewhere and will post it when it's found.
Many new parts,,, new "appropriate" battery by that I mean the special one with the correct ratings, and this one is under the hood NOT under the rear seat,,,radiator,,,new muffler put on when I bought the car ( I had a shop do this for about 400 ) upper and lower radiator hoses and mounting clips,,,water pump(metal impeller),,,new fuel pump,,,newer fuel filter,,,newer A/C condenser,,,A/C needs re charged,,,newer bulbs for headlights and on board computer,,,front ceramic brakes,,,k and n filter,,,brand new alternator with lifetime warranty,,,newer ignition coils,,,recent transmission flush,,,all front suspension and steering linkage inner & outer tie rods and center link,,,upper and lower control arms, including aluminum front lower control arms,,,newer rear sway bar links(dog bones),,,newer 5 series rims from I think 2006 with hub centric rings on all 4 with tires at 30% tread remaining,,,newer after market CD am FM radio head unit,,,newer side marker light lens housings,,,,,,newer used driver seat without heat,,,passenger seat has heat,,,...
Some extra parts included in this sale are as follows,,,extra hub centric rings for rims,,,new front kidney chrome for both sides,,,extra 6 ignition coils from last spark plug change,,,a new wheel hub never installed because it wasn't needed (the car had a shake when I got it and I didn't know about the control arms issue's that were causing this, replaced control arms and the shake went away),,,new oil filter and o ring's set,,,a new oil pan gasket still in package (another item I found out I didn't need to replace when I first got the car),,,new intake manifold gasket rings set (another one of those parts I thought I needed).
CLEAN TITLE IN HAND...LOCAL PICKUP ONLY...HOWEVER IF NEEDED I WILL ASSIST IN VEHICLE DELIVERY COMPANY HIRED BY "YOU" THE NEW OWNER....THANKS AND HAPPY BIDDING!!!
Body does have some rust on lower parts of the doors and the usual area's but not at all "rusted out",,,the usual small dings and such but overall the body is in really good shape.
Interior is about a 6 out of 10,,,leather has some cracks on seats,,,door panels are sagging some and the passenger side panel vinyl is completely removed but the skeleton back board is good,,,drivers side is livable,,,rear driver side is best and the rear pass. side is next best,,,see pics...headliner sags a little but doesn't interfere with head or mirrors & I'm 6'2'',,,drivers window needs new clips for the track and the lock fixed.
Motor runs smooth and quiet,,,small oil usage/leak,about 1 quart per month,but this BMW tells you when it's low( it doesnt leak on the ground only "uses" oil when running),,,slight tick at cold start ups,,,it does not affect the performance of the motor,,just sounds funny for a little while,,,but that's normal for this age of car,,,(it's the hydraulic lifters that do this,,,unfortunately it's pretty much an engine overhaul that would fix this) but if that's your intent then this is perfect for you,,,or a 5 speed swap/overhaul???
Transmission shifted perfectly for 6 years, then around 3 months ago I started getting the "Trans Program" message on the dash,,,this happened about 6 months after I first got the car but I was able to use some checklists off the web to diagnose the issue and resolved it myself after a couple days and it has shifted fine for the next 6 years or so...back to now,,,when this message comes on the car locks itself into "limp mode" and only allows use of 3rd gear and reverse...this message appeared maybe twice a week at first then would go away,,,and shift fine in all gears....for a while...then go out again,,,now this happens at every start up. So I have gone through the web checklist I found years ago and have repeated every check I did before and no change. Then I did a trans. flush and now I have 2nd gear in addition to 3rd and reverse...better but still get the message on the dash. So my checklist still has two more things to check...one is a solenoid next to the trans. filter in the trans...and the other is a speed sensor in the tail of the trans...(sensor is on top of rear trans. tail and hard to get to) so I have not checked this...some others have reported success in just the cleaning of this sensor,,others have had to replace it for results...this part is about 60 on ebay..part number 24151219659...or the solenoid is around 50 from a supplier...however a 5 speed swap would solve this issue...and make this car even more FUN to drive on the road or track it and add a roll bar and some nitrous...hehehe...I would love to do all this myself as I have performed all of the above repairs on my own,,,but now my days are much busier with young children etc...I will also include all the information and web site names and such with the new owner to help in any way I can,,,plus all the receipts I have on the car...a complete Haynes manual on cd with full wiring diagrams,,,other schematics and diagnostic pdf. files I have located...and even advice on repairs and parts locating...I still have another one of these that I have nearly completed restoration on but will be keeping it as my daily driver...feel free to ask ANY question that may come up.
I will add more pics in the coming days...also send a phone number to get pics in text.
...all items are described to my best ability..but I don't claim to be an expert on any item,,so ask questions first please...as is...no returns...no refunds...pay pal only...U.S. lower 48 only...I reserve the right to cancel a zero feedback bidders' bid,without question..so just contact me first please...I never pay return shipping, for any reason...most all items are shipped u.s.p.s. priority or parcel post & insured when appropriate, or the best, safest alternative based on the item size & pricing...CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS TOO!!!! thanks...jw.

2015 BMW X6 M First Drive [w/video]
Wed, Feb 4 2015Please forgive my bluntness, and allow me to cut to the heart of the X6-dissenter argument right at the top. Yes, BMW will sell you a 2015 BMW X5 M that is the motive twin (I assume) of the X6 M you're here to read about, that is also cheaper, roomier, and more conventional in appearance. For many of you – especially the old guard that hears the descriptor "Sports Activity Coupe" and proceeds to unlock the gun cabinet – that's all you need to hear. Because, although the fickle community that consumes and comments on internet car culture seems to be fine with typical-looking SUVs and wagons packing performance-enhancing goodies, the idea of slanting the back of one turns them right off. And yet, BMW continues to sell the things; more than 250,000 units have be delivered in the X6 series' history. As if that weren't proof of concept enough, blood-rival Mercedes-Benz has unleashed the GLE, a coupe-like crossover of its own, complete with AMG pedigree. All of this brought me to Austin, TX, home of Hill Country, The Circuit of the Americas and the 2015 X6 M launch. On both road and track I found a car that was more powerful and blithely capable than ever, while also being exactly as weird to drive as it is a concept to comprehend. Given that the X5 M exists, and offers styling that is more like normal for the SUV genre, both the lovers and the haters of the X6 M are likely to be focused on the way it looks. Here, the 2015 model isn't very much changed from the original, meaning you aren't liable to change sides on the styling debate for this refresh. The '15 model has a slightly fewer black accents on the exterior, along with revised front and rear fasciae and vented (and chromed) front fender gills. The car is almost two inches longer than the existing model, but is near enough the same size in every other direction that you'd have to study the specification sheet to know different. Inside the X6 M that I tested was a beautiful, fully optioned cabin that boasted gripping sport seats and BMW's wide, easy-to-read infotainment screen. The leather-wrapped everything and carbon-fiber trim were both well executed, and my hands rejoiced at the feeling of the thick-rimmed, serious-looking steering wheel. Veterans of the current M5 or M6 will see a lot that looks familiar here, but to my eyes that's high praise. The most impactful changes aren't visual but visceral.
Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
