Up for auction with NO RESERVE is a really clean and beautiful 2001 BMW E39 M5 4-door sedan. The car is completely stock and has never had any modifications. Only two owners since new and the current owner has owned it since 2005. It has been meticulously maintained and cared for. This has always been a California car and does not have any rust anywhere. It has never been in any accidents, never smoked it, always responsibly driven by an adult. Never abused, never raced or recklessly handled. Always garaged, still with its original paint. Over ninety percent of the miles were accumulated with highway driving often averaging around 30,000 miles a year due to work being significantly far from home. This is documented and is reflected in the Carfax history report listed below. According to Carfax there is an added $2,420 value to the current book value due to the documented history. The car has mostly been maintained at a BMW dealership and other maintenance performed by a specialized German technician and shop. Some service records are available including the last documented clutch and fly wheel replacement which was done at about 210,000 miles. Currently the car is in very good condition and has plenty of life left in it. All major service is up to date. Mechanically everything is in great working order with no imminent maintenance required. The only thing recommended by the mechanic for the next service is to change the front brakes and rear tires. It drives smoothly and handles fantastically well. It does not emit any noises, no squeaking or rattling of any kind. The ride is the perfect combination of quite, very powerful and responsive.

This M5 is fully loaded with all available options including Premium M Audio with  navigation and a 6 disc CD changer, Alcantara headliner, two tone gray and black leather interior, parking distance sensors, remote keyless entry and alarm, heated seats, dual zone climate control, angel eyes with Xenon leveling headlights, 60/40 split rear fold down seats with ski bag section, rear sun shades, traction control, adaptive stability control, 6 speed manual transmission with pre lit shift knob, universal garage door opener, moon roof, this list goes on and on. On many forums and amongst BMW enthusiasts this is considered to be the best M5 every made often referred to as "The Beast".

All electronics are in great working order, with ice cold air conditioning, all buttons, windows, functions operating nicely. No spots, scratches or blotches on the navigation screen. The rearview mirror is in excellent shape and did not leak or turn blurry, which is very common in the E39 M5. The rear sunshade needs to be replaced and has already been purchased. It's included and is boxed brand new in the trunk. 

There is a small crack in the lower lip of the front bumper, a minor dent and scratch on driver's side rear panel. Driver's seat backrest has some visible ware but is in good overall shape with no tares in the lower cushion. Small chips in the front in a few places from lots of highway driving. Faded clear coat on rear bumper. Curb rash on some of the wheels.

Clean California title in hand, currently 263,833 miles on the car, the California registration expires in September of 2014. Also included in the auction are the two BMW keys, both with remote and alarm access, original owner manuals. ***Where the manuals are pictured it looks like there is a quart of oil next to them. This is just a leaflet explaining what oil is recommended for the M5 in the shape of an oil bottle.*** 

I can help arrange shipping the car anywhere to the national 48 states in the US. Shipping price will vary according to your location and will be added on top of final end price of the car. I just shipped a BMW SUV to my mother in Chicago from Los Angeles for $700. That should give you a rough idea of pricing. 

I have plenty of feedback as a seller and have sold many valuable and expensive items. My descriptions are accurate, honest and supported by plenty of recent pictures. A $500 deposit is due 24 hours of auction end and the remainder must be satisfied via certified cashiers check or cash. Vehicle must be pickup up within 7 days of auction end. Please let me know if you have any questions. Local bidders are welcome to come and see the car first hand.

ABSOLUTELY NO BIDDERS WITH 0 FEEDBACK! YOUR BID WILL BE CANCELED UNLESS YOU CONTACT ME FOR APPROVAL PRIOR TO BIDDING.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

BMW i3 REx can be hacked to offer more miles, AM radio

Wed, Sep 2 2015

If you're a BMW i3 REx owner who's willing to risk voiding your warranty, there's a low-level hack that offers up an interesting question. Which is worth more, an extra 20 miles or so of range from the gas-powered range extender or the ability to listen to local sports, like, for example, the iconic Vin Scully on Los Angeles Dodger broadcasts? The choice might be easy for Dodger fans, but it could be a bit more challenging anyone ready to make a road trip. The i3 REx is considered a zero-emissions vehicle under the odd rules from the California Air Resources Board (an important category for automakers) because the miles provided by the gas-powered range extender are about equal to the single-charge range of the vehicle's battery, Green Car Reports says. Some enterprising folks have figured out how to modify the software to tweak the car's capabilities. That means that instead of being able to put in only 1.9 gallons of fuel at a time into the tank, you can put in 2.4 gallons, allowing for that extra 20 miles of driving range. Additionally, the i3 REx's software suppresses AM radio because of potential electromagnetic interference from the electric drivetrain. But, again, that can be reversed with a few tweaks to the software. We need to give out a warning, though: messing with these sorts of software settings is a good way to void your warranty. So, if you're in LA and thinking about enjoying that Dodger (or, dare we say, Giant) broadcast and a few extra driving miles, make sure to figure in all of the factors.

Jonas wreaks havoc on auto industry

Mon, Jan 25 2016

Many folks along the East Coast are still stuck at home from Winter Storm Jonas' brutal snowfall over the weekend, but the blizzard had some nasty temporary effects on the auto industry, too. Winter weather emergencies kept people from leaving the house, and that spelled trouble for factories and dealers. The terrible conditions in Washington, DC, even prevented the the Washington Auto Show from opening. General Motors, Toyota, and BMW had to close factories due to the weather. BMW cited concerns for its workers driving to the plant for canceling some Friday and Saturday shifts in Spartanburg, SC, according to Automotive News. Toyota closed its Georgetown, KY, factory on Friday, and GM shut down the second shift at its Bowling Green, KY, site for that day, too. Showrooms in the blizzard's path saw a massive drop in sales over the weekend because the customers weren't coming. Some affected dealers are now trying to make the best of a bad situation by offering potential buyers even deeper discounts to get them through the door, according to Automotive News. The piles of snow also mean hours of work for employees to clean off all the cars on the lot. The good news is that none of these issues should pose longterm problems. Weather reports don't show much snow for the East Coast in the coming days, which should allow the industry quickly to return to normal.
