Bmw M5 on 2040-cars
Benton Harbor, Michigan, United States
|
2000 BMW M5, My friend purchased this car USED on 5/20/08 with 78,457 miles, then on 10/03/2013 I purchased it from him with 93,460 miles. It now has 95,600 miles. I don't have any receipts so you can take it or leave it from here on out; Vehicle history & info: Life After 5/20/08: First major job was new clutch somewhere in 2011, It has had more oil changes then necessary - every 2500 miles, using BMW / Castrol 10W60 TWS Synthetic or same oil but the Liqui Molly brand & Oil/OEM Oil Filter Kit - V8 E39. 94,000 miles: NGK V Power Resistor BKR6EKUB Spark Plugs, Mann Air Filters, Hengst fuel filter & Bosch windshield wipers. 95,200 miles: Camshaft position sensor (German) from Rock Auto Parts. Many items from ECS auto, Turner motor. If you own a German auto - then you need quality parts. I have an extra head light assembly- goes with the car, The head lights on the car now both been rebuilt with new positioners. New seal around the windshield. All equipment listed works with no issues; Air, Heat, Heated/Power Seats, Power Windows/Locks, Alarm, Cruse, Wipers, Turn Signals, Emergency Flashers, Power Sun Roof, Remote Key, External/Interior lights, back-up sensors. What doesn't work or wrong: Radio won't play seems to be the amp, also the previous owner told me "don't use the tape deck" it eats tapes. The instrument cluster is pixelated, making it - very difficult to read. I just didn't feel like shipping it out for repair. Cup holders are broke. Rust bubbles around gas filler. Paint fading off top of doors. Door dings all over. Drivers door has it the worst, looks like it got kicked by an angry Girl Friend - not that I would know. The SES, service engine soon, light comes on and as per the Peak R5/FCX-3 reader table 1b code AA -secondary air system, flow too low.What that means is - The secondary air system is a smog reduction set-up to reduce cold start emissions, the air pump does come on however due to carbon build up, air flow is being restricted all the while the air pump is operational which is approximately 30 seconds or so during a cold start. In other words - forget about it. Drivers side Vanos chatters but typical. Tires under 3000 miles - Continental Extreme Contact - Included: Peake R5-FCX-3-16 BMW Scan Diagnostic Tool 2000-2007 A test drive is the only way to go, however I to have purchased a car on e-bay sight unseen so I am talking from experience and will try and provide all with too much data and as I look at this M5 I feel I'm being over critical. I made a test drive video so check it out, it may or may not be helpful - we kept it rated "G" for all you kiddies. Test Drive: http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/isleepatwork/media/M5002_zps0ea1332b.mp4.html I may sell locally, so I will pull this listing unless theirs <24 hrs remaining to the end of auction. |

Check out 90 years of BMW Motorrad in 90 seconds
Tue, 12 Mar 2013After ninety years in business and first-to-market motorcycle innovations like the one-piece 'tunnel' crankcase, hydraulically dampened front forks and full fairings, as well as that trademark boxer engine, BMW Motorrad is celebrating its nonagenarian status with a video: You can follow the ride on BMW motorcycles from 1923 to now in just 90 seconds.
Okay, so there's more than a video - some anniversary-themed bikes and a new retro boxer model celebrating the R 32 "airhead' from 1923 also commemorate the occasion. But you can start with the video, and that's below.
BMW revisits its 8 Series
Thu, 04 Jul 2013So why would BMW choose July 2 to release a retrospective on the 8 Series? Could it have something to do with the recent unveiling of the Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe concept, another sleek, B-pillarless V12 two-door, at this year's Villa d'Este? We have no idea, but the timing is likely coincidental.
This three-minute look at the 8 Series talks to Niels Hamann, who was smitten with the long-hooded coupe when it appeared in 1989 and finally bought one in 2004. Hamann also happens to be a project manager at BMW, and that came in handy when he wrote a book detailing every aspect of what was BMW's flagship for ten years but to the chagrin of many only managed one generation.
While we wait for the next clue about the Gran Lusso - 8 Series connection, check out the video below.
A look back on BMW, South Carolina and Southern manufacturing
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It has been 20 years since BMW broke ground on its Spartanburg, SC manufacturing facility, and while the automaker doesn't have any plans to mark the moment, economists and industry analysts have taken a closer look at the facility's impact on South Carolina, the South and global manufacturing. As of November, the Spartanburg plant's 7,000 employees cranked out 25,000 vehicles per month, and BMW has poured some $6 billion into the state since the plant opened in 1993. While that figure nearly matches the state's proposed budget for next year, some say there have been drawbacks.
To begin with, South Carolina provided BMW with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of public money and tax breaks with little public oversight, setting a precedent that would repeat itself with other corporations. The Detroit News reports that a Pew Center evaluation found 26 states didn't have a sufficient system for evaluating tax incentive performance. But BMW opened the door for a Southern manufacturing renaissance, with automakers from Mercedes-Benz to Hyundai and Volkswagen opening plants in the Deep South.
While states have raced to offer ever sweeter tax and cash incentives for big manufacturers, officials say BMW is proof the system can pay dividends. You can read the full piece here.
