Up for auction is a very interesting M5......I acquired this car recently from a customer as part of a trade for a car I had that he wanted. I planned on keeping it as my daily driver but things have changed and I'm forced to sell.  I've been working on this car since 2003 when it had 14,000 miles on it.  My shop performed all the DINAN upgrades(authorized DINAN dealer for the last 12 years) and has done all the major maintenance on the car(E39 M5s/540s are one of our specialties).  The DINAN S2 package was installed in 2004....this is the full S2 package minus the DINAN lightweight wheels and brakes.  The car was sold by the original owner in 2006 to a family member where it covered about 30,000 miles then it was then sold to a non-family member who covered about 45,000 miles in the 2 years he had it(purchased in late 2010).  In that time we did a TON of work on this car as he was completely OCD about the car...every rattle, chirp, noise, leak was addressed and corrected.  I have $22,000 in invoices that was spent on this car with the bulk being a 56,000 mile motor swap that was performed when the original motor damaged a rod bearing.  We decided to install the best low mileage used motor we could find($7500 motor, 35 hours of labor, $2000 in OEM parts).


The car is in very good shape for a 12 year old car but it's a been a driver vs. a garage queen.  There are rock chips on the forward edge of the hood, there's a 2"x3" scrape on the lower right front bumper(touched up).  There are pixels that are out on the dash, the rear view mirror needs to be replaced for the auto dimming to work).  Rear Hankook tires are at about 30% tread remaining.  Interior is very clean in this car....it has been my experience in these cars that have the black luxury interiors hold up very well compared to the other colors/styles.  The wood trim was painted a satin metallic grey(BMW Sterling Grey) a long time ago....looks very nice.   The shifter knob has some wear on it.  I have a nice set of OEM floormats for the car.  Car has it's books/manuals and I saw an extra key in it's book binder.  The owner I purchased it from had the clear rear turn signals blacked out which can be returned to stock.  Front headlights are the euro units which are in pretty good shape for their age(we installed those back in 2004 along with painting all the OEM trim gloss black, painting the grilles, etc.).  Everything functions as it should on the car at this time.

In addition to the standard  DINAN S2 package, this car has the DINAN/JRZ shocks/struts on it.  They were just returned to DINAN and rebuilt within the last 6 months.  These ride much better than the DINAN Koni shocks/struts.  They're fully adjustable as well.  If memory serves right, they were about $800 EACH as an upgrade to the DINAN stage 2 Koni suspension.

Service/maintenance highlights over the last 2 years include:

56,000 mile engine installed at 103k miles.  Cam position sensors(common failure in these cars) were replaced(all 4), all the normal gaskets, rear main and front crank seals(front crank seals are known to leak), all fluids of course, breather hoses, etc., were replaced during this job  This was a $13k job.  Car runs flawlessly and has no check engine light or known issues.

New high flow catalysts were installed along with OEM BMW 02 sensors, new thermostat, new DINAN cold air intake filters, new electronic box fan assembly

Air flow meters have been replaced

MK3 navigation drive unit installed

Differential bushings(uppers and front)

Rear CV joint(driveshaft) and drive shaft bushing

Transmission fluid with BMW MTL-2(lifetime fluid)


As I've said, I know this car pretty well....it's been a great car.  It drives perfectly, has had all the normal M5 issues taken care of and has that all-impressive DINAN S2 package.  I've owned several of these cars as my personal rides(specifically the S2 cars) and they remain to this day as one of my favorite cars to drive.  The standard M5 is tremendous, a DINAN S2 M5 is from out of this world.

I'm more than happy to respond to emails.  I will gladly provide additional pics if desired.

Rinspeed Budii Concept is a rolling smorgasbord of future tech [w/video]

Wed, Mar 4 2015

There's a strange dichotomy going on inside the Rinspeed Budii Concept. Actually, there's a slew of seemingly mismatched ideas, but that seems par for the course when it comes to the mind of Frank Rinderknecht, no? For instance, there's a manual-wind Manero PowerReserve watch embedded in the cabin, which seems quaint, considering the high-tech nature of the car's design and intent. A high-resolution camera apparently "recognizes" when the watch is getting low on power, and a robotic arm "uses ingenious motions to wind the movement" of the watch. Seriously. The aforementioned robotic arm is a seven-axis unit that can "reach out" to the driver or passenger so that they can take over driving duties from the autonomous car. In this way, the occupants can choose to put their lives under the control of the "cognitive and intuitive autopilot" provided by a telescoping laser scanner and a high-res camera that map the car's surroundings, or to make their own "ethical" driving decisions. We kind of assume that refers to the current autonomous-driving question of the times: whether or not to save the lives inside the car our outside of it in case of emergency. If all of that sounds suitably high-tech, you should also know that the "feel-good lounge atmosphere" of the interior features removable plexiglass work surfaces inside, folding blinds for privacy that are custom printed with user-selectable designs, air outlets with ambient lighting, a "wellness shower in the headliner" (whatever that means) and a center console with – you guessed it – cup holders. The platform on which all of this is based is the all-electric BMW i3 hatchback. If all of that sounds intriguing, we suggest you read all about it in the press release below and take it all in via the included image galleries. Rinspeed "Budii" redefines human-machine interaction Reach out to robots The vision of autonomous driving will soon become reality and will fundamentally change the interaction of man and automobiles. While the research centers of the automotive industry are still feverishly working on the technical solutions, progressive thinkers such as the Swiss idea factory Rinspeed are already giving concrete thought to how automated private transport will transform the car and the man-machine system. Besides fundamental conceptual changes, this will also have to involve issues of ethics and society. In the past, the robots in the factories of this world merely assembled cars for people.

2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible is easy, breezy, beautiful

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

BMW debuted its 2014 4 Series Convertible today at the LA Auto Show, and the sporting two-door will feature a folding hardtop - like the convertible 3 Series before it - and be offered in 428i and 435i guises.
The 428i Convertible is equipped with BMW's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, which pumps out 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque - good for sprinting from 0-60 miles per hour in 6.2 seconds. The 435i Convertible gets the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, which steps up output to 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. The topless 435i drops the 0-60-mph time to 5.5 seconds. Both cars come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that a manual transmission will not be offered on 4 Series Convertibles in the US market.
The 4 Series Convertible will be offered in Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport trims. Pricing starts at $48,750 for the 428i Convertible and $54,900 for the 435i. Head on below to peruse the (long) press release for details.

Pininfarina Battista hypercar's output specified at 1,873 horsepower

Thu, Nov 24 2022

Even in a galaxy far, far away, the Pininfarina Battista would stand out. After a delay of about three years, the official specifications of the all-electric hypercar have been revealed: Full power is rated at 1,873 horsepower, outputting 1,697 foot-pounds of torque. Sixty-two miles per hour arrives in 1.86 seconds, with 124 mph coming in 4.75 seconds. 217 mph is the estimated top speed. (The Rimac Nevera recently hit 258.) The 120kWh battery pack should enable a range of about 280 miles from a single charge. A pair of electric motors are mounted to each axle, each motor powering a specific wheel and giving the Battista full torque vectoring capability. Pricing — and this is one of those cars that, if one has to ask, just move on — is about $2.2 million, which places it in the territory of the Bugatti Chiron. For those customers considering an upsell, a limited “anniversario” edition will comprise five of the expected 150-unit build run. It differs from the standard version by some cosmetic alterations, which lifts the price by some $70,000-plus. 0r you could buy a BMW M3 as a chase car. The two-seater Battista is named for Battista “Pinin” Farina, who founded Carrozzeria Pininfarina in 1930. A lot of its battery, carbon-fiber chassis and motor components come from Rimac, the nascent Croatian electric supercar maker that recently paired with Porsche to take over Bugatti.  Many more details about the carÂ’s development, several photos and our driving impressions can be found in this Autoblog post from August.   Auto News By the Numbers Green BMW Bugatti Green Automakers Green Driving Coupe Performance Supercars Pininfarina Battista
