Super rare!!! none like it !!!1999 BMW 540IT wagon with m5 package and 6 speed manual transmission.

This car has been my daily driver for past three years. I get 23.5 mpgs with this car.
Unfortunately, old nagging left knee injury is forcing sale of my manuall transmission cars!! Super car that run drives and shifts perfectly.
 No excuses.
For an e39 of this age, it is in excellent condition mechanically and cosmetically. Always garaged
The car has had Mobil1 15w-50 every 3500 miles. Transmission and rear differential fluid changed at 62k and 90k(Red Line).
Brakes were replaced at 70k, along with brake fluid flush. Coolant system was also flushed and refilled at that time.
New AC clutch/compressor , condensor and receiver / dryer at 72k miles.
Brand new Falken Ziex tires..Less than 1200 miles. Rear hatch struts and lock assembly was recently replaced.
The multi information display was recently replaced due to missing/dead pixels.
I also upgraded the headlights to OEM Hella Angel eyes. These units were not available on 1999 models.
I paid over 2500.00 just for the headlights. They are awesome to drive at night with.

Here is a short history of how I aquired the automobile:
I purchased the car from Insurance company over 3.5 yrs ago with 59k miles.
The car came from Texas  and has been garaged in NC...so no rust issues.
I purchased the car as a run and drive item, I replaced the cooling system, headlights, bumper, grille, and left fender.
The car was then inspected by North Carolina State Highway patrol for any issues.(Passed!)
The car has a NC rebuilt title and I have title in hand.
According to VIN# the car was originally an automatic.
However, once I finished the body repair and paint, I took the car to Newton AutoHaus for service and all the staff were amazed at how nice the car was.  However, they were most impressed by 6 speed manual transmission conversion stating that whoever performed conversion, purchased all brand new parts, including the 6-speed transmission(6800.00) directly from BMW, because it still had all the factory stickers on the hardware , linkage and tranny.
This car is an absolute blast to drive.
What more could one ask for....Comfort , room, and power!

As I stated earlier...my bad left knee forces me to an automatic.(Blasphemy)


Please call for more info or if you would like a pic of a certain area or item.
Please no trade offers as I plan use the money towards a new X-5.

I am negotiable...but I will not give the car away.

I am asking 10,200.00 O.B.O
Car is for sale locally, so if you are interested please do not delay.

The troubled Alfa Romeo Giulia needs serious help [UPDATE]

Wed, Feb 10 2016

UPDATE: An Alfa Romeo US spokesman responded to this article with the following statement: The safety concerns expressed in the story are false. The all-new 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia is designed and engineered to meet or exceed all federal safety regulations. The Alfa Romeo Giulia will begin production for the North American market in the late second-quarter of this year. Alfa Romeo will have a full product portfolio of premium vehicles that includes plans for (8) all-new Alfa Romeo vehicles by 2020. The product launches are prioritized by segment volumes starting this year with the Alfa Romeo Giulia production for North America starting in late Q2, followed by the Midsize-UV – the 2nd largest premium segment in North America. Even on the day you dragged them kicking and screaming and gesticulating wildly to a table full of concrete evidence, Alfa Romeo executives will never admit the Giulia program is going through a tough patch. But it is. Reports say the Giulia, on the eve of production, didn't just fail one internal crash test, but failed the front, side and rear impact tests. Alfa denies it. Automotive News published a report last week saying two suppliers had insisted the Giulia, on the eve of production, didn't just fail one internal crash test, but failed the front-, side-, and rear-impact tests. A third supplier source told us the same thing. Alfa is denying it. It was due on sale in Europe late last year and was supposed to be here in the next month or two. But it wasn't, and it won't. It was to be headlined by a twin-turbo V6 that reportedly howled its way around the Nurburgring 14 seconds faster than the BMW M3 could manage. That second part is only true if you believe it's fair to compare a full lap in a standard BMW M3 with a favorable accumulation of sector times to a development prototype Giulia with 220 pounds stripped out of it and rolling on hand-cut racing slicks. No, me neither. A Promising Start The Giulia's all-new architecture was developed in just two years by a skunkworks of young engineers headed by Fiat's engineering prince, Philippe Krief, and (bafflingly) sited inside Maserati's headquarters complex in Modena, about three hours from Alfa Romeo's own Turin HQ.

2014 BMW M235i

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

We know a number of BMW owners who reside in the Munich brand's core demographic - upper-five- and six-figure professionals who like to keep their automotive brand credentials as highly respected among their peers as their alma maters or the letters after their names. Before heading to Las Vegas to drive the new M235i, we asked four of those owners, "What did you think of the E30 3 Series?" Although phrased differently, every one of them had the same answer: "What's that?"
You can counter that we just happened to query a tiny and ignorant sample size, and it's possible that you're right. Nevertheless, in every case,we were speaking to BMW's core demographic, the increasing legion of buyers who have fostered another year of record growth and are responsible for BMW retaining its global luxury title for nine straight years. Question that, and we'll refer you to BMW's marketing department, its several hundred PowerPoint slides and several thousand pages of research that prove the point.
That second-generation E30 3 Series built a name, a brand and an entire segment by defining BMW-ness as superlative driving dynamics meets luxury - shortened to the phrase, "The Ultimate Driving Machine." Thirty years later, just being a part of BMW-ness and luxury is enough for the majority of buyers. The superlative handling, that's optional, and 150 hairy guys meet every Tuesday to keep the old religion going, light torches, sing dirges to the siren long gone and bang on their keyboards about the apostasies of modern buyers.

BMW adds on-street parking to DriveNow carsharing in SF

Sat, May 10 2014

BMW is putting a new spin on the concept of the San Francisco treat. The German automaker cut a deal to clear out 80 street-parking spaces for its DriveNow car-sharing program in the notoriously parking-constrained City by the Bay. Bimmer is also more than doubling its all-electric ActiveE car-sharing fleet in San Francisco to 150 vehicles from 70. Starting later this month, customers will be able to access the DriveNow website or app to find, reserve and park the electric Bimmers on certain streets in San Francisco's Mission district. Once the car is ready to be turned back in, the vehicle's in-car screen will also indicate what "drop-off" zones the driver can use to end the reservation. It's all very high-tech, and BMW is looking to expand the program to other San Francisco neighborhoods like Bernal Heights, the Haight, Noe Valley and Potrero Hill. There's also a contest for users to name the 80 new vehicles, but it involves a really complicated lettering system. "New" here means new to DriveNow, since these ActiveE electric vehicles are really those that were, until recently, used by the Electronauts in BMW's EV leasing program. Since those leases are ending, the cars need to go somewhere. We think carsharing is a great home for them. BMW, which also runs DriveNow in the German cities of Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich and Dusseldorf, said in March that it was looking to add the service to as many as 15 more cities in Europe as well as another 10 in the US. BMW debuted DriveNow in San Francisco in August 2012, though parking the cars has always been an issue. Check out BMW's press release below. BMW Group's DriveNow Car-Sharing Service Expands to Street Parking in San Francisco. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and BMW Group board member Dr. Ian Robertson provided details about DriveNow at a news conference on ... Eighty All-Electric BMW ActiveE Vehicles Added to the DriveNow Fleet to Increase the Convenience of Finding and Parking Emission-Free Cars. San Francisco, CA – May 8, 2014... BMW Group subsidiary DriveNow, a flexible, premium car-sharing program, will expand to offer street parking in multiple neighborhoods in San Francisco, beginning in select areas of the Mission District and will add 80 electric BMW ActiveE vehicles to the existing fleet, increasing the total number of ActiveE vehicles in the San Francisco Bay Area to 150. DriveNow members will have the opportunity to name the 80 electric vehicles in a two-week social media challenge.
