Bmw: M5 Base Sedan 4-door on 2040-cars
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
For sale is a 2002 BMW M5 (e39 series). I purchased it less than a year ago from Half Moon Bay in CA (SF bay area). I purchased it because it was in great shape, ran perfectly, was a CA car, and had a reasonable number of service records at either a dealership or a local reputable shop. However, due to a job change, it has become a redundant vehicle so I am looking to sell it, otherwise I love the car and have always wanted an e39 M5. If youre looking at this car then you are probably aware of how desirable this generation of M5 is. It is refined and smooth, yet gives the driver access to raw power and great handling without all of the ridiculous electronics in the newer & Model: BMW M5Year: 2002VIN: Color: Jet BlackInterion Color: Black All Leather Nappa HeritageMileage: ~138,500HP: 394 HP @ 6600 RPMTorque: 368 ft-lbs @ 3800 RPMPackage: Base 4dr Sedan w/ Navigation System, Xenon Headlights, Alloy Wheel 18, M audio with advanced bass.Autocheck report (like a Carfax) by request, please ask.A lot of high quality pictures Condition (engine, transmission, etc.):It starts, runs, and drives perfectly. There are no unusual noises (no VANOS noise), issues, or warning lights (no check engine light). It shifts a little hard when cold but then becomes very smooth once everything gets to temperature. The brakes are powerful and smooth. Engine is stock with no mechanical or electronic modifications. I recently changed the engine oil and filter, the transmission fluid, and the differential fluid. I also had all new belts installed. Battery is relatively new and was replaced by the previous owner. It has recently passed both the NC and CA (more rigorous) emissions tests. This means that there is no carbon build-up issue.Paint and Body Condition:There is no rust anywhere that I can find. The paint is in really good condition for a 2002. It appears to me that the previous owner garaged the car most of the time. The car has been garaged 100% of the time by me when not in use. Most of my driving has almost exclusively been during dry weather. I have a second car that I use as a commuter. The exterior is in great shape compared to other 5-series of this age. There are a couple of small blemishes around the car from typical use. The passenger door has a small ding near the hinge area (see pics).Glass Condition:The front windshield has a few rock chips but nothing that is in an irritating location or that appears to be in danger of spreading, otherwise the windshield is in good condition. All other glass is in perfect condition. Recently had the windows professionally tinted with their best Llumar tint (it is NC legal). Tint has a transferrable lifetime warranty.Wheel and Tire Condition:All of the wheels have a little bit of cosmetic curb rash on them but are otherwise in very good condition and look great. The tires are almost new (less than 3k miles on them) and are quality tires (Continental Extreme Contact DW).Interior Condition:The car does show some wear and tear on the inside but nothing extreme. The Alcantara upholstery is in like new condition. The steering wheel and dash is in great shape. The leather seats are in great shape. The drivers side seat bolster (common wear area) is in very good condition. All other leather is in good shape. All lights work (except for the trunk light which is missing). The navigation screen has a few pixels that are out but it doesnt affect its function. The instrument panel digital display works like new (no missing pixels, looks like new). Some of the buttons and knobs show some wear, but again nothing that bad. The heater works and the AC blows very cold. The front passenger seat doesnt recline (this is a typical issue with e39 and is fixable). There is an iPhone connect that was installed by the previous owner, I have never tested it. I have also never tested the tape player or the CD changer in the trunk.Please let me know if you have any questions about the car. Price is negotiable to an extent. Title in hand.Thanks for looking!

2014 BMW Z4 offers minor refinements with a majorly orange wrapper
Mon, 14 Jan 2013The redesigned BMW Z4 was rolled out onto the show floor at the Detroit Auto Show, with the example in question being an sDrive35is variant, with the just-less-than-screaming Hyper Orange Package. The exclusive colorway includes the metallic orange paintjob, as well as trim-specific seats, stitching and accents for the interior. More importantly, the 35is driveline means that you'll find a high-output version of the turbocharged 3.0-liter N54 engine, here outputting 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, and a 7-speed DCT gearbox.
Two slightly less ferociously powered versions of the Z4 will be available for the new model year, too (both familiar). The Z4 sDrive35i is good for 300 hp and 300 lb-ft, while the still-potent sDrive28i features a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder making 240 hp and 260 lb-ft.
You'll fine some more details about the 2014 BMW Z4 in our original news story about the model here, or by scrolling down to read the full BMW press release.
Next-generation BMW 5 Series spied in Touring trim
Wed, 10 Jul 2013It almost seems as if BMW just started selling the current-generation 5 Series, yet one of our spy photographers has already spotted a next-generation prototype in Touring form. Little is known about the luxury wagon in this early stage of testing, but it is expected to weigh much less than the current car, which, in 528i Touring guise with an automatic transmission, tips the scale at over 3,800 pounds. It is also expected to have the latest in driver-assistance technology. Despite the weight savings, and judging from the photos, it looks to have proportions similar to the current car, but don't expect the makeshift headlight and taillight clusters to make it onto the production model.
The crucial question for potential Touring customers in the United States is whether BMW will do the unexpected and import it here. The company's track record indicates that it will be sold in Rest of World markets only, but we're hoping that the next 5 Series will end the Touring's U.S. hiatus (and the 5 Series Gran Turismo's reign), which began in 2003 at the end of the E39 generation.
Watch the BMW M4 drift around an aircraft carrier
Mon, 07 Jul 2014A Nimitz-class American aircraft carrier is big. Really, really big. After all, it has to be, in order to launch and recover a wide array of military aircraft. But when it's not catapulting F/A-18 Super Hornets and E-2 Hawkeyes into the wild blue yonder, what exactly can you use its 1,040-foot long flight deck for? Well, BMW seems to have an idea.
Now, obviously BMW hasn't paid Uncle Sam to convert the deck of the USS John C. Stennis into a racetrack (but what an idea!). That doesn't make this video of an Austin Yellow M4 slipping and sliding its way around the carrier deck any less entertaining. The video itself comes, weirdly considering the US aircraft carrier, from BMW of Canada, and we aren't really sure what the point of it is. There's no voiceover, or title or closing screens to lend the scene any context, and it seems unlikely that this sort of seemingly high-dollar video wouldn't be done sheerly for giggles. Whatever the reason for its existence, it's worth a watch.
Scroll down and have a look.
