1999 Bmw 528i - $3000 Of New Suspension Parts Included! on 2040-cars
Centerville, Louisiana, United States
|
Hate to see it go. I put so much work and care into this car, but it was the victim of a sad accident which damaged the rear of the car and bent the frame. My loss is your gain! Car is like new inside and other than the body damage in the rear, the rest of the body is in good condition. The hood and front bumper need paint, but otherwise the rest of the paint shines. No other body damage, other than small dings and scratches from use. Engine has new oil filter housing gasket (a known problem on these cars) as well as new Teflon VANOS seals. Transmission was replaced by dealership (rebuilt) about 25,000 miles ago, along with a new TCU. Car has ALL new OEM suspension arms and bushings installed in the front, along with brand new Koni FSD struts and Vogtland sport springs, and Stoptech cryo treated slotted rotors and Akebono ceramic brake pads. I also have brand new Brakes, Rotors, Koni FSD struts and Vogtland springs for the rear that have not been installed and are still sitting new in the box. I should have done the rear first, sadly that was the cause of the crash. Those parts will be included with Buy-It-Now, along with the old parts from the front. I never raced the car, or mistreated it in any way. It was my first really "nice" car and I babied it and cared for it with love. I hope that it can be rebuilt and enjoyed again by someone who will treat it as well as I have. If not, at least its parts can live on in your car. I was going to rebuild it myself but I don't have the time or money right now, and I'd rather see it go to good use than to rot away in storage.
If you have any questions or concerns at all, please feel free to contact me. Thanks and good luck! |

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
Bangle urges auto design shakeup, says industry not innovating
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Controversial designer Chris Bangle, the man behind the notorious E65 BMW 7-Series "Bangle Butt," has some rather sharp criticism for the current crop of automotive designers in an upcoming full-length interview with Automotive News Europe. The preview, posted on Automotive News, details parts of the interview, with the always vocal Bangle lamenting the state of modern automotive design.
"Even concept cars today simply anticipate the next production model coming down the line. Is this innovation? No. And at the end of the day this is what's preventing car design from moving into a new era." Controversial as Bangle's design philosophy may be, we can't help but think he has a point. His so-called "flame surfacing" at BMW and other stylistic elements had a huge influence on modern automotive design, although as the years have passed, there hasn't been much innovation on the same scale.
Interestingly, Bangle also mentions that he's been courted by a few manufacturers that wanted to install the American as the head of their design teams. He's flatly rejected them, telling ANE, "It's not something you can do part time, you have to do it with all your heart and soul or you're going to get it wrong."
Are you the next BMW X5?
Tue, 15 Jan 2013Who knew that diecast model makers could be such a good source of leaks? Less than a month after a diecast model 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA in China, someone overseas at Diecast Empire or Jadi Modelcraft could get a bath in boiling oil for leaking uncamouflaged images of the next-generation BMW X5.
Naturally, that assumes that this image from a brochure from a Jadi brochure is indeed the F15 BMW X5 - it was posted to Diecast Empire's Facebook page. In its favor, the lines all add up if we compare it to the most revealing spy shots we have of the coming crossover - the headlight corners, the metal trim separating the kidney grille from the opening just above the license plate, the cut of the swage line, and the fact that the model picture reveals all of the most important character pieces that BMW has kept covered.
There's something written on the door of the model image that isn't in the spy shots, but that could be an xDrive badge. We will see the genuine article soon enough and we'll know for sure. For now, we might have already seen its facsimile in miniature.
