Hi, eBayers!  Up for sale is my 2003 BMW 540i M Sport, with a desirable 6-speed transmission, black on black color scheme, and a clean-as-a-whistle history.  I'm moving to a colder climate, which is the primary reason I'm selling this car.  Affectionately called the "Baby M5" by some, here's a great chance to get into a well-maintained vehicle with those classic BMW E39 body lines.  Make no mistake: there's plenty of room to go fast, too!


Take a look at the pictures, ask me any and all questions, and please note highlights and issues below.  I'm a car guy and open, honest transactions are a must for me.


Pictures galore: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ytm1vanj35y3tye/y__Njf4Iay

Highlights:
- extensive service history at reputable, independent shop
- I'm the second "real" owner, though the history may show three
- head gaskets and cooling system work, typical big repairs (>$2500) for this motor, are already done
- recently-installed OEM front brakes and all four tires
- runs like a bat out of hell, averages 22 miles per gallon with mostly highway driving at 85 miles per hour
- DSP audio system sounds awesome and with aftermarket parts, can integrate with the iPhone
- no dead pixels on the instrument cluster and climate control, about 50% dead on the radio
- desirable color, transmission, body style and kit combination

Known issues:
- missing rear door brake on the driver side (that holds the door open), which is a $15 part and a couple hour repair
- the passenger xenon headlamp just burnt out
- both front seats twist (this is a common and relatively easy repair), Google "bmw e39 seat twist" and check these links:

- most notable: the check engine light is on, reporting a failing oxygen sensor which I've replaced.  In no way is the car's performance affected, but buyer beware: if you live in a county/state with emissions tests, this car will not pass and you will be unable to register the vehicle!  Currently, this car doesn't have valid registration, but most states typically give an in-transit grace period as long as you keep the title and bill of sale on hand.

My mechanic thinks this may be a failing catalytic converter but, absent any spare parts to swap and test, there really is no way to fully diagnose without installing a new part.  This doesn't make personal sense because, as mentioned, I'm moving.  If you're in a non-emission county/state and a check engine light doesn't bother you, you can get yourself a heckuva car!  Again, ask me questions: I don't want to scare you away but must be up-front and honest.

Transaction details:
- full payment required on or before pickup
- payment methods accepted: cash, wire transfer, cashier's check/personal check (all checks must clear before you get the keys and the title)
- this car is for sale in other channels, and I reserve the right to end the listing at any time

BMW teases 2 Series Coupe ahead of October 25 debut

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Although it was finally just confirmed that the last of the BMW 1 Series coupes and convertibles went out of production months ago, we won't have to wait very long to see this model's replacement, the all-new 2 Series. BMW released a teaser video for its new coupe today and also announced that the 2 Series will officially debut on October 25.
We may still have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to see it up close and in person, even though both the Los Angeles Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show are nearly upon us. Either way, it's not clear when the 2 Series will roll into dealerships. Considering we've already seen the coupe sitting out mostly undisguised for a photo shoot, there really isn't much to see in terms of styling of the car in this sun-drenched, dirt-slinging teaser. BMW does say that this is the first trailer ahead of the 2 Series' unveiling, so there are likely to be more to follow the video seen below.

BMW M2 reportedly green-lit

Thu, 01 May 2014

A BMW M2 is on the way, according to a sub-forum in the Bimmerpost empire. Of course, we're actively enjoying a few grains of salt, just to be safe, as the post doesn't mention explicit sources, saying only that "multiple inside sources (who have been accurate in the past)," have confirmed the car.
Provided the forum is correct, though, there's some juicy information here. Production is allegedly slated for late fall 2015, with deliveries likely starting in early 2016. The new sports coupe should arrive with 365 to 375 horsepower, courtesy of an upgraded version of BMW's N55 turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline-six.
The report claims BMW also considered a modified version of the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Mini Cooper S. That engine, known internally as the B48, would have been called the S48 for M2 duty, a significance that we're sure BMW purists would appreciate (the only BMW engine to wear an S designation was the four-cylinder from the legendary E30 M3).

BMW, Mercedes ponder challengers to Uber

Fri, Sep 18 2015

With autonomous vehicles seemingly just on the horizon of actually arriving to consumers, companies in the auto industry are already thinking about how the innovations could radically change how they do business. For example, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are considering a time where they might transform into ridesharing companies, according to Reuters. It almost sounds like the sci-fi motoring world Bob Lutz is predicting. The German brands foresee a future where some people hail their driverless cars like taxis and use them for short trips. The automakers could run those fleets, essentially making them Uber competitors. In fact, Tesla is reportedly mulling the idea, and Google might be, too. Alternatively, ridesharing services could buy the companies' models directly. "New mobility concepts will emerge with autonomous vehicles, which are robot cars. Fleet management will become a much more significant business," Peter Schwarzenbauer, BMW board of management member in charge of Mini, said to Reuters. With BMW's DriveNow and Daimler's Car2Go car-sharing services, both automakers are already experimenting with alternative ways to get their vehicles on the road. It's not too hard to imagine one of the brand's peppering a few autonomous cars into those fleets someday to test these new theories in the real world. "The ability to use a car, and then walk away is a serious business," Ian Robertson, BMW's head of sales and marketing, said about the future of driverless tech to Reuters. Related Video:
