Offered
for sale is a gorgeous, virtually flawless, completely original 2012 BMW 550i with
just 20,586 miles and finished in lustrous Titanium Silver Metallic over
luxurious Black Dakota Leather with Anthracite Wood Trim. Borrowing significantly from BMW’s new
7-series, BMW’s latest generation of the iconic 5-series sedan offers many of
the finer appointments of its more sophisticated big brother while retaining
the sleeker, more agile frame 5-series drivers have long cherished. Purchased new and always garaged and
maintained by its current owner, the car is being sold with the remainder of its
4-year / 50,000 mile factory warranty. Harkening
back to an earlier time when BMWs shared a cleaner, more unified look across
the model range, Adrian Von Hooydonk’s new F10 5-series is defined by crisp,
muscular lines complemented by a low, aggressive nose with signature dual
kidney grills. This car’s subtle and
sleek Titanium Silver Metallic body remains completely original and nearly
showroom flawless, marred only a few negligible paint chips that one would expect
on a gently used, well loved car, none of which are distinguishable in the photographs. While
clearly a performance machine on the outside, the interior cabin has witnessed
nearly a complete overhaul. No longer a
mid-level sedan, the spacious cabin, high cowl, multiple interfaces and
luxurious appointments make the car feel as if it's a 7 Series Lite. Driver and co-pilot are greeted by BMW’s
optional 18-way heated, power seats and presented with the sweeping dash featuring
both BMW’s traditional analogue instrument cluster and optional heads-up
display, flanked by an intuitive center control screen utilizing BMW’s updated iDrive
interface system on the center console. BMW
has made great strides in improving iDrive from previous version with a simpler
more direct menu system, and has also included redundant controls for the audio
system and climate controls in-dash just below the navigation screen. Although
the complete list of features on this car would be too long to list, in
addition to BMW’s exhaustive set of standard features this car also includes:
Mechanically
the car is in excellent condition.
Although the F10 is larger than its E61 predecessor, its performance
numbers are nearly identical. Continuing
BMW’s legendary driving performance, the F10’s 4.4-litre, 400bhp, twin-turbo
V-8 with 8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission catapults the car from 0 to
60 mph in a quick 5 seconds continuing to 100 mph in a mere 11.4 seconds (for
those sportier drivers, the quarter mile will take you approximately 13.5
seconds at 106.8 mph). The car has
always received the manufacturer’s suggested maintenance at BMW dealerships and
is entirely turn-key and ready to be driven. Whether you’re specifically in the market for a gently used
5-Series, or you’re just looking for an exceptionally comfortable, well engineered,
performance oriented driving machine, this car deserves your serious
consideration. We
want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and
answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us
online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed
Motorcars We’ve
always had an appreciation for classic and sports cars and over the years have
created an eclectic personal collection, affording us the opportunity to meet
many other interesting enthusiasts, including the owner of this 550i. As such,
this is a consignment car and can be seen by appointment at our warehouse in
Santa Barbara. We try to give accurate descriptions of the cars we’re selling,
but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and we encourage and are happy to help
facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before
bidding, as the alternative harms our ability to make sales to other interested
parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding. For
U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the
auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end.
Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end.
Buyer is responsible for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with
recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the
right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end.
Thanks for your interest. |

BMW i3 misses top Euro safety rating [w/videos]
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The Euro NCAP just tested a recent batch of new cars including the 2014 BMW i3, and the EV Bimmer scored less-than-perfect results. Though not horrible, BMW's all-electric/range-extended i3 was given a four-star (out of five possible) crash rating due to concerns with front-occupant whiplash and side-impact protection.
Based on the crash results, the BMW provided suitable protection for occupants in the frontal, side barrier, pedestrian and child-seat tests, but the i3 was tripped up when it came to the more severe side pole test and the rear-impact test. The pole test showed protection to the chest of the test dummy was "weak," and the front seats only provided "marginal" protection against whiplash for front passengers. Scroll down to watch two videos released by the Euro NCAP of the i3 being tested.
Recharge Wrap-up: BMW, Nissan team up on chargers, CNN loves Tesla Model X
Tue, Dec 22 2015CNN Money calls the Tesla Model X "the new king of crossover SUVs." In its round-up of its favorite luxury SUVs of 2015, CNN places the electric ute on the top of its list. The Model X's EV powertrain, excellent acceleration and handling and cool design and technology features (including much attention paid to its slick Falcon Wing doors) earn it high praise. See the video above, and read more at CNN Money or from Clean Technica. Tesla has plans to open offices in Korea and South Africa. Tesla has registered in Korea as Tesla Korea Limited under co-CEOs Todd Maron (Tesla general council) and Susan Repo (Tesla Financial Services). It will have an office near Seoul. Tesla is also reportedly opening an office in South Africa in January, with GreenCape CEO Evan Rice acting as Business Development Manager. Rice will work to build a market for Tesla's PowerPack stationary energy storage systems. Read more from Korea Times, from htxt and from Teslarati.

Daimler, BMW partnering up on wireless charging
Tue, Jul 15 2014Plug-in vehicle advocates can get all warm and fuzzy about two Germany heavyweight automakers getting together for the sake of wireless charging. That's because Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and BMW will work together to speed up development of a wireless charging system. While not a ton of details were divulged, we can still rejoice. Daimler says the system will consist of an on-board coil and another coil that can be placed within the garage floor or someplace similarly stationary. The system will charge at 3.6 kilowatts and with 90 percent efficiency. No details were released about the system's price or when it would be available, but Daimler shouldn't wait too long, since other OEMs are already talking about their own wireless charging systems. Daimler obviously has some skin in the game here, since Mercedes-Benz will start sales of its S500 plug-in hybrid in September. That model, which was first shown off last August at the Frankfurt Auto Show, can go as far as 20 miles on electric power alone and will get fuel economy of about 84 miles per gallon equivalent. And it's easy to imagine an i3 or i8 driver getting a kick out of never needing to touch a cord. This spring, reports sprung up that fellow German automaker Volkswagen was preparing a wireless charging option for its electric vehicles as soon as 2017. You can check out Daimler's press release below. Wireless charging of electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles: PLUG IN HYBRID - unplugged One of the next steps on the way to perfect electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles is wireless charging. Daimler and BMW have now agreed on jointly developing and implementing one common technology. Wireless charging of the battery will make the handling of electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles even easier. Mercedes-Benz will commence fleet testing of this "unplugged" technology with the S 500 Plug in HYBRID soon, in order to develop a real S-Class solution in recharging the high voltage battery in terms of comfort and ease of operating in the near future. The system consists of two components: a secondary coil integrated into the under tray of the car and a primary coil integrated into a floor plate that can be placed on a garage floor for instance. Electrical energy is transmitted contact-free without the need for a cable, at a power rate of 3.6 kW and with a degree of efficiency of 90%.
