Strafford, Missouri, United States

1998 BMW 540i E39 model.  Car runs strong, but does have some issues, so listing with a low reserve (under KBB).  Issue is car is in "Trans Failsafe Prog", which causes car to take off in 3rd gear.  I haven't figured out what is causing it.  It could be a simple fix.  Prior owner said it started when they had battery and alternator issues.  The car does have a new battery and alternator.  Tires have good amount of tread but do have some light dry rotting from sitting.  Paint is ok, some clear coat peeling on the hood, and one spot on drivers door where it's been pushed in and back out.  Interior is ok as well, no rips or tears in the leather, some stains in carpet, headliner is good.  Car does smell like smoke.  All windows, locks, door handles and lights seem to work.  Has a factory 6 CD changer in the trunk as well as factory tool kit, original dealer window sticker and manuals.  

Car is located very close to I-44 about 15miles east of Springfield, MO.  Can be shipped at buyers arrangement and expense.  $500 deposit within 3 days of auction end, pickup and final payment must occur with in 30days or at least arrangements for pickup (somewhat flexible but I'm not keeping car for 6 months after auction).

Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars

Sat, 18 Oct 2014

Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.

2016 X6 M brings the power at LA show

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

BMW tore the cover off the second generation 2016 X6 M Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
BMW tuned the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 to push out 567 horsepower, up from the last model's 555 hp. Torque also leaps to 553 pound feet, compared with the previous output of 500 lb-ft. The V8 is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which swaps in for the old six-speed. This potent powertrain allows the crossover to hit 60 miles per hour in about four seconds.
The X6, which features slightly more dramatic styling and an angled rear roofline, debuted alongside the more conventionally styled 2016 BMW X5 M at the LA show.

BMW, Toyota outline new tech joint venture, new sports car

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

Back in June, Toyota and BMW announced a "memorandum of understanding" outlining plans for the two companies to join forces on future products and technology development. On Thursday, they signed a more formal and binding agreement that goes further into detail about the partnership, and it all sounds pretty exciting. The two announced they will work together in four main areas:
Joint development of a fuel cell system
"Set up a feasibility study to define a joint platform concept for a mid-size sports vehicle"
