1995 Bmw 540i - Exceptionally Well Kept - No Reserve on 2040-cars
Powder Springs, Georgia, United States

Hi there. Hope all is well. My name is Steve Lang. I have been an auto auctioneer, automotive journalist and car dealer for a very long time with 100% positive Ebay feedback for well over a decade now. for the majority of you who don't know who I am, feel free to Google "Steven Lang and auctions." I have been in the car business since 1999 and have thankfully met a lot of wonderful folks along the way. My customers have flown in from Montana, Washington State, Canada, and even one fellow who took a vehicle purchased for $1576 and drove it cross-country back to southern California. Every once in a while, I get a vehicle that should go directly to an enthusiast who is willing to maintain the car up to manufacturer spec. This 1995 BMW 540i is one of these cars. Like every older rare vehicle I sell on Ebay, the new owner of this 540i will appreciate the care given by the prior owner and will hopefully keep this older vehicle in good working order as a instead of just locking it up as a neglected museum piece. This is one of those cars that deserves to be driven and experienced by those who will value and care for it. To be brutally blunt, this 1995 BMW 540i looks like it was stuck in a time warp. No I'm not exaggerating. Take a look at all the pictures, and feel free to contact me if you would like to see additional ones as well. This 5-Series was put in a family trust where it remained an occasional driver for nearly 14 years (3,500 miles a year). The interior is the cleanest I have ever seen on this vintage of BMW's, and the exterior looks about commensurate with a four to five year old model. The tires are Kumho Ecsta LX Platinums that have about 90% of their tread left and the car is remarkably absent of any of the groans that come with older suspension systems that have gone through the rigors of pothole ridden roads. This one has been well cared for and the overall condition reflects a car that is likely within the top 2% of all BMW's of this vintage. Carfax has this 540i recorded as a one owner with one accident (no I don't use Autocheck because their accident histories are incomplete) that took place approximately a decade ago. However the repair was done to OEM spec and the car has been kept in excellent condition since (see pictures). NOTE: I am selling only this to an enthusiast... and yes, I really do mean that. If you are a grandparent looking to enable your progeny please go immediately to the Ford Escort wagon listings which will gladly afford your young one with a nice basic ride. These models are neither basic nor cheap, which brings me to the terms for this auction. |

BMW i8 headed to Frankfurt
Mon, 05 Aug 2013According to Edmunds, BMW will reveal its production i8 hybrid sports car at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. The i8 is the second vehicle to come from the automaker's new "i" initiative, following the debut of the smaller i3 hatchback last month.
The BMW i8 makes its debut nearly four years after the original Vision EfficientDynamics concept bowed at the Frankfurt expo in 2009. The production car is expected to use a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that drives the rear wheels, coupled to an electric motor that drives the front wheels. Combined output is said to be something like 393 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, based on our earlier reports. The i8 is also expected to be very light, with curb weight coming in somewhere around 3,125 pounds. Finally, the i8 is said to have a pure electric range of 20 miles, and should be able to hit 62 miles per hour in just under five seconds.
Other publications had the chance to ride along in the i8 (in prototype form) and came away impressed. We're hoping we'll feel the same when the car officially goes on sale sometime in early 2014. Stay tuned for more at the i8's official unveiling in just a few weeks.
BMW confirms new Mexican plant
Thu, 03 Jul 2014After over a year of speculation, BMW is finally officially announcing that it's building a factory in Mexico. The new plant will cost the German automaker roughly $1 billion US and will have a capacity of about 150,000 vehicles a year when complete. However, production won't begin there until 2019.
The new factory is being built near the city of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, with plans to employ about 1,500 people. Unfortunately, BMW is still mum about which models it's producing south of the border. Earlier rumors indicated the possibility of the 3 Series, 1 Series and maybe even Mini models there.
BMW says Mexico's multiple free trade agreements are a major factor in the choice of location of the plant. They make it possible for the automaker to ship models more cheaply to North America, parts of South America and the European Union. "The Americas are among the most important growth markets for the BMW Group. We are continuing our strategy of 'production follows the market,'" said Harald Krueger, the board's head of production, in the company's official announcement.
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
