1998 Bmw 528i (e39) Black On Black On Black on 2040-cars
Ada, Michigan, United States
I've replaced the radiator and will include a new water pump (I never needed it afterall). Car doesn't overheat. Replaced the trans at about 200,000 with a used unit. Replaced shocks, thrust arms, control arms, both front wheel bearings, tie rod inner and outer, replaced what they call the rear ball joints (more like a bushing that prevents excessive camber), replaced alternator with used unit at 265,000, replaced all coils trying to solve misfire (still have a box full that go with the car). Car drives straight and smooth at high speed (when misfire fixed). Drove to Florida twice (3,600 miles round trip each time).
Amenities: Heated steering wheel Heated front seats Traction Control (The best I've ever driven with) ABS Privacy Package (Passenger rear side shades and rear power shade. Driver's side inoperable) Dark tint all around Fully Black interior including trim pieces from factory BMW Business sound system with cassette in dash and rear 6 disc changer (changer works but no sound [likely a wire loose]) Professionally installed axillary sound input (phone, ipod, etc.) Issues: Steering rack drips Misfire (likely a vacuum leak or CCV failure) Tires need to be replaced Sunroof disconnected (was jamming) Driver mirror deglazed but still functional Fan shroud missing (brittle and broke beyond repair) Hit deer last year but replaced hood and headlights. Hood does not stay latched with factory latch. Non smoking car. Nearly all miles are highway. Selling as is. VERY fixable and drivable as is or VERY valuable as parts. I've seen the exhaust or interior go for over $2,000 on ebay individually. I just don't have time or space to fix or part out. |

In case you forgot, the Dubai Police supercar fleet is the coolest
Tue, Feb 10 2015Ever wonder why the Dubai Police have a fleet of vehicles worth millions and millions and millions of dollars? Why it has a Bugatti Veyron and a Bentley Continental and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with sirens and light bars? Well, here's the reason. This video shows the fleet on display on the Emirate's roads and highways, while also reaching out to the people the police are meant to protect. It's an impressive display of machinery, to be sure. Alongside the Bentley, Bugatti and Mercedes, we spy a Ferrari FF, a Brabus G-Wagen, a BMW M6, a Nissan GT-R, an Audi R8 and a McLaren MP4-12C (although the latest Dubai Police car, the Lexus RC F, is absent). The video even has a very cinematic look and feel to it, which works well with the night scenes and the blues-and-twos of the exotics cruisers.

BMW Concept X5 eDrive plug-in hybrid headed to Frankfurt
Thu, 22 Aug 2013With six confirmed public debuts scheduled for the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW is definitely going to have its hands full. While we've already driven models like the 4 Series and the i3, one of the more interesting introductions is a "concept" plug-in hybrid version of the new F15 BMW X5 called the BMW Concept X5 eDrive.
As the second concept to wear the eDrive name, this X5 combines a 95-horsepower electric motor with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine to balance performance and efficiency. On the green side of things, BMW says that the eDrive system allows the X5 to reach speeds of 75 miles per hour and a range of 19 miles (although we're guessing not at the same time) under electric power only, to go with fuel consumption of about 62 miles per gallon US (3.8 liters per 100 kilometers). For performance, this plug-in can still accelerate from 0-60 in under seven seconds, and drivers can select from three PHEV modes: one that operates the system automatically, an all-electric mode and a Save Battery mode to preserve the battery's current state of charge.
Aside from the obvious plug port on the left front fender, the X5 eDrive is differentiated from the 2014 X5 with slightly restyled front and rear fascias, subtle blue accents tying in with the BMW i line and lightweight, aero-tuned 21-inch alloy wheels. There is no definitive word on whether the Concept X5 eDrive will make it to production, but judging by BMW's recent commitment to plug-in vehicles, we wouldn't be surprised to see an X5 PHEV on the roads within the next couple of years. We'll see the Concept X5 in just a few weeks in Frankfurt, but until then, scroll down for the official press release.
European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
