I am an all German car owner since 1996 and BMW owner since 2001. Everyone who ever bought a car from me was very fortunate, I do drive very gently and take good care of my cars. This is my 4th BMW and second E39. I own this one since 2005 and I bought it with 70K miles. You can ask any mechanic, this model was one of the best mechanical BMWs ever produced. It all goes downhill from there. I change my own oil and filters, the rest was all done by BMW specialist. All records are available. Car drives perfectly, nothing wrong. With stiff yet incredibly supple aluminum sport suspension, it is a pure pleasure to drive. I rented a lot of new cars during my business travels, nothing new can come even close to this one. The 1999 540i 6-Speed that I had before was a little better, yes, due to a limited slip differential, but not a whole lot.

Car never let me down once. I do have original 5-set of 17" BBS wheels that I install for the summer. Spare is brand new with original Continental Sport and alone is worth over $500. The additional wheel set you see is from a 2000 540i and I use it for the winter, it has all-season Continentals. $300 Cocomats, plus BMW rubber mats for the winter. No accidents whatsoever! As you know 2001 and up E39s have body color trim which looks lame. I did replace all of it with original black BMW trim from an older 2000 model and M5 on the doors. You will not see another 530i like that. If I didn't need the money I would never sell it. Driving in the suburbs (no highway) I get about 26 miles per gallon or about 440 miles per tank, try to get that from any other 3L engine. Engine is as smooth as silk, no wonder they say it is only breaking in by 200K miles.

Please ask any question you can think of.

BMW hires Ferrari chief engineer Fedeli

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

There's going to be a little bit more Prancing Horse in some future BMWs because the Bavarian brand is hiring Ferrari chief engineer Roberto Fedeli to join the company in November. Fedeli's new position is still somewhat of a mystery though, and he reportedly might be lending his talents to the high performance M division or possibly even Rolls-Royce. When asked by Automotive News Europe, BMW said that it "currently can't say what his role will be."
Regardless of his new job, Fedeli was a big get for BMW because of his strong résumé. He has been with Ferrari since 1988 and led the engineering for the famous Italian automaker's vehicles since 2007. Fedeli tendered his resignation in September at around the same time that chairman Luca di Montezemolo announced his decision to leave the company. However, Ferrari told ANE that there was no connection between the two events.

BMW won't bring front-drive 2 Series tourers to US

Wed, Mar 11 2015

BMW may have rolled out a new front-drive 2 Series in overseas markets, but according to the latest from Automotive News, it won't be bringing it to the United States anytime soon. The model line consists of the 2 Series Active Tourer – the company's first front-drive model Â– and its extended counterpart, the 2 Series Gran Tourer, which was introduced just last week at the Geneva Motor Show. Though available with all-wheel drive, their front-drive underpinnings make them a radical departure for the Bavarian automaker, which has made a name for itself on rear-drive architecture. The development is not unlike the path which Mercedes has pursued with models like the A-Class hatchback, B-Class minivan, CLA four-door coupe and GLA crossover. BMW evidently thinks, however, that even in its longer Gran Tourer form, the 2 Series hatchback is still too small for the US market, where minivans have grown far beyond their miniature dimensions. The 2 Series name will continue to be offered on the rear-drive coupe and convertible that were spun off of the 1 Series and which are unrelated to the front-drive hatchback and minivan. The X1, however, is slated to switch to the front-drive platform shared with the company's Mini brand.

BMW 4 Series production coupe caught on commercial shoot

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Despite filming at 2:00 AM and at an undisclosed location, BMW minders filming a commercial for the fast-approaching 4 Series coupe were unable to ward off the long lenses of spy photographers. The result, as you can see here, is our first-ever look at the production version of BMW's new coupe, completely uncovered.
The night shots may be a little bit grainy, but the fast-moving 4 Series still looks pretty good with its camo closeted, matching the svelte lines of the concept car we saw in Detroit this winter. Expect that the 4 coupe will come to market with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder in 428i trim, and a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder in 435i spec.
Take your time looking through our gallery of movie-star 4 Series photographs, and tell us what you think about the uncovered Bimmer, in comments.
