Preface:
Thanks for taking the time to check out my Ad. Selling this car is by far the hardest decision I've ever had to make but I need to make space and rather see the car in good hands than undriven and stored for a long period of time. What you're looking at is a car that has been meticulously maintained not only mechanically but exterior wise and in all other aspects. As with a 14 year old car there will be some imperfections but most are minor and do not affect the car's ability to perform. Unlike most BMW e39's for sale, this car has had extensive maintenance performed during the 10+ years of ownership, using nothing but the best parts (OEM Genuine BMW) and the most competent BMW techs. A list of the cost of parts excluding labor costs will be provided upon request. It is very important to know that an older BMW will cost a lot of money if not meticulously maintained in a timely and efficient manner. As with many e39s that are for sale on craigslist this is the case and it reflects on the price and condition of the cars. The price of this car accurately reflects a variety of factors including the KBB + a small percentage of the value of the amount of modifications and maintenance that have been completed thus far. 2 Owner car

Overview:
This car has a 2.8 Liter I6 motor with double vanos technology. The torque is readily available thanks to a new vanos unit with upgraded rubber seals and basic maintenance items. The transmission had been replaced 3 years ago due to a faulty component (BMW had known transmission issues for the 4 speed GM and 5 speed ZF). All OEM parts and fluids have been replaced as well as a new transmission unit. The car has about 102,000 miles on the clock and will not increase as it is not being driven. Oil changes occur every 5000 miles or 6 months using nothing but Lubro Moly 5w-30 synthetic BMW oil. This car burns no oil whatsoever so topping off is totally unnecessary. When driven, nothing but 93 grade gas from satisfactory gas stations is used. Of the few selected are Mobil's 93 octane, Sunoco's 93 octane, Shell's V-power 93 octane and in rare occasions, BP's Ultimate 93 octane. Factory equipped is the sport package which comes with the M steering wheel, sport seats, sports suspension and a thicker front sway bar. I have replaced the sport suspension with racing coilovers and added high grade aluminum spacers giving the car a more aggressive stance and stiffer, sportier ride. In addition the sway bar bushings have been replaced with polyurethane to resist deformation and give stiffer handling. Above all, the entire suspension has been replaced with genuine BMW parts (except for the coilovers). These include the thrust arms, lower control arms, front sway bar links, front sway bar bushings, tie rods, rear upper control arms, rear lower control arms, rear ball joints and bushings, rear sway bar bushings , rear sway bar links and coilovers (as mentioned earlier). This car has upgraded HID fog lights with slim ballasts outputting 35Ws with a 6000K color and factory equipped xenon headlights with an upgraded housing and 6000K D2S bulbs.

Basic Info:
This car has been pampered all of its life, never being involved in accidents, theft and recovery or any other undesirable situation. It has been used as a weekend car for most of its life and recently driven daily short trips about 4 miles total for a day. When parked it is by it-self in private and secure facility patrolled by security guards. If the weather is undesirable in any way (including but not limited to rain of any sort, snow of any kind, windiness, pollen or any weather form which may has the ability to cause danger) the car is stored away either in a garage or under four layers of protective fabric. Since this is not my only vehicle I can afford to leave this car undriven during bad weather for unspecified amounts of time. During the winter the plates are returned, the car stored away and covered tightly and the battery kept on a trickle charge until the spring time after the majority of the rain has passed. This process begins in late October to late April. In addition, the car is started at least once a week during the cold months to prevent leaking gaskets and frozen parts. During any storm or dangerous condition, the car is removed from the garage a week before and stored in an above ground, enclosed and secured parking garage until a week after, and removed only on a day when it is sunny or slightly overcast.

Exterior:
The exterior of the car is in amazing shape having only a few scratches on the front and rear bumpers, three small dents on the hood and a scrape on the passenger rear quarter panel from an unknown driver. This car is personally hand washed at least four times a week during summer and twice during fall, with a sealant applied directly after the wash and a wax applied after the sealant cured (in 8 hours). This car has a deep, rich gloss that makes the paint appear as if it were wet thanks in part to my washing and waxing procedures and the way it is stored. Before and after each drive, every single day, the car is wiped down with a spray detailer and microfiber cloth to remove any dust, pollen (when applicable), road grime and dirt, ect. The wheels and tires are cleaned in the same fashion. According to my personal journal, the car has been washed and waxed approximately 224 times since Jan of 2010. The wheels are painted white and can be powder coated white if the buyer wishes or refinished to a high-gloss polished lip and OEM silver center ( if full asking price is met). The rear tires are showing signs of wear but can last another year or so. I will replace with new if I get my full asking price. There is 35% tint of all 5 windows that compliments the car perfectly, that is, light enough for cops to ignore and dark enough to retain occupancy privacy.

Interior:
The inside of the car is in very good condition, showing wear in only a few small places. The steering wheel and driver's seat show wear as which could be expected in a car of this age, but will be repaired contingent on the deal made between myself and the buyer. The radio has been upgraded to an OEM BMW business radio and has a slight dark spot on the screen to the far right. Other than that there are no missing pixels of any sort anywhere else on the car. There are a few buttons missing from the center console which will be replaced upon an agreement between the buyer and myself.

Engine:
Mechanically the car outshines any other of its age. Over $8,000 has been invested in meaningful maintenance, to keep the buyer at ease. A list of the replaced parts will provided at the very bottom of this Ad. The motor is original and has not been replaced.

Summary:
All in all, there is MUCH more to this car than can be written here. For a more comprehensive explanation please contact me at 917 698 7779 or email me using the email provided with this Ad. Please put "Inquiry: 1999 BMW E39 528i" as your subject to the message or it will be blocked and marked as spam. I have many pictures to show and if serious I can arrange a personal viewing of the car. I am firm on my price and slightly negotiable having great knowledge of my car, the BMW e39 chassis and its place in the market. I am well vested in the NY BMW community and am known for my thoroughness. You will find a cheaper e39 but the cost will quickly add up when all the parts have to be replaced due to negligent owners. I am in absolutely no rush to sell and will not entertain insulting offers.I will however listen to offers that are equitable. Furthermore I reserve the right to terminate this Ad if I find a buyer or so please to do so.

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.

12 best hybrid SUVs for 2022

Tue, Jun 15 2021

If you're searching for the best hybrid SUV, the truth is there actually aren't that many choices. While there's an endless sea of those powered solely by gasoline, those that add batteries and superior fuel economy to the mix are few and far between. The very good news, however, is that the choices you have are actually excellent. The top-selling and top-rated Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are not only available as hybrids, for instance, but are actually at their most appealing as hybrids.Â Luxury hybrid SUVs are a different story. While Lexus offers each of its crossover SUVs as a conventional hybrid, those of other brands are by and large plug-in hybrids that provide a relatively brief amount of all-electric propulsion, superior fuel economy and higher prices that are somewhat countered by EV tax rebates. We include both conventional hybrids and plug-in hybrids in the below list of best hybrid SUVs. All are listed alphabetically within each category. Best small hybrid SUVsÂ Â |Â Â Best midsize hybrid SUVs Best luxury hybrid SUVsÂ Â |Â Â Best luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs Best small hybrid SUVs Honda CR-V Hybrid Why it stands out: Best-in-class back seat space; hybrid's distinctive EV-like power delivery; middle lower LATCH anchorCould be better: Antiquated and glitchy tech interface; a bit dull Hybrid fuel economy: 38 mpg combined (AWD only) Read our 2022 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, strong safety ratings and well-regarded reliability. In terms of its hybridness, we like that Honda's distinctive hybrid system sees most of its propulsion handled by the electric motor (the engine rarely powers the wheels directly), resulting in a more EV-like, torque-rich power delivery and a less obtrusive gas engine. For the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, the CR-V Hybrid checks every box.Â Â Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Why it stands out: Beautiful interior; excellent infotainment and safety technology; traditional automatic transmissionCould be better: No spare tire; styling a tad outrageous Hybrid fuel economy: 37-38 mpg combined (AWD only) Plug-in hybrid electric range: 33 miles Plug-in hybrid fuel economy: 80 MPGe Read our 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review The Tucson is the new kid in town and it's made quite an entrance.

BMW is ready for our inevitable EV future

Mon, Dec 4 2017

Is "rolling lithium" a thing, yet? Because BMW is trying to make this — the opposite of " rolling coal" Â— happen at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. The Bavarian vehicular group is showing five all-new electric-powered concepts or production models in L.A. These include the C-Evolution, a 99-mile range scooter from BMW Motorcycles; the 150-mile range, two-door hardtop Electric Concept from Mini; and three vehicles from its advanced i sub-brand: the i3S, a sportier and more potent version of the brand's electric commuter nodule; the i Vision Dynamics four-door coupe concept, featuring a sporty four-second 0-60 time and a professed 373 mile range; and the long-promised roadster version of the i8 supercar, with just two seats, a bikini top, and an enhanced power pack providing 18 miles of range. The unveiling of these vehicles in Los Angeles makes perfect sense to us. California is one of the world's largest markets for luxury automobiles. It is also America's biggest market for electric-powered vehicles. Studies show that the state's combination of fiscal incentives, trendsetting cultural positioning, legislative requirements and massive population contributed to the purchase of half of the country's EVs and hybrids this decade. "The customers for the brand are mainly on the West and East Coasts, and the California customer especially is interested in sustainability and environmental protection," said Robert Irlinger, head of BMW's advanced i sub-brand. The bigger question revolves around BMW's larger EV strategy. Given the current global regulatory environment, with its rightful pressures on increasing efficiency and decreasing emissions to help soothe our warming planet and save all life on it, luxury automakers seem to be making a push toward developing a range of battery-powered vehicles to be available around or after the start of the next decade. It seems BMW, with its varied subsidiaries Â— from lightweight scooters to ultra-luxury barges Â— is uniquely poised to provide an array of such vehicles. "In the first stage of i back in 2013, we brought what you could call 'bookmark' cars to the market Â— the i3 commuter and i8 sports car Â— to show the range of what an electric vehicle could be," said Irlinger. "Now, we are seeing growing interest from customers to bring electrification to the heart of the brand, even to a sport sedan like our i Vision Dynamics four-door coupe.
