You are looking at a rare BMW X5 4.8is, this is the X5 model made before they came out with the X5 M so you know it is super sporty with lots of horsepower. Original price on this was over $70k, you can own it for a fraction of the price. The X5 4.8is has a non-turbo 355-horsepower V8, which makes it extremely fast. The X5 also has anti-lock brakes with a brake-assist feature for surer panic stops—and traction control and anti-skid systems. Safety items include front-seat side airbags and front/rear head-protecting side-curtain airbags. Nifty touches include automatic-up power windows and rear windows that lower all the way. Big outside mirrors fold flat against the front door glass to prevent costly damage to them in tight spots. Nicely located front cupholders have a sliding cover, and all doors have handy storage pockets, although the covered front console storage bin is small. There's no need to grope for the outside hood release lever because a handy small release lever pops out of the top of the grille area when the inside hood release is activated. This feature is especially appreciated in pouring rain. Exterior of the car is in good condition for a 8 year old car with typical wear and tear marks for a car of this age, but no dents and very minor scratches, I pointed the biggest one out in one of the pictures...on a scale of 1-10 the exterior would be a 7. The interior has no rips or tears and I keep OEM BMW seat covers on the front year round so they look like new. I would rate the interior as a 8.5. Also, I have fairly new carpet floor mats as well as the rubber ones for winter, all in great condition. X5 has 20" chrome wheels in great condition with very few marks on them. Rear tires are pretty new with only 8k miles on them, the front are starting to show some wear so I would guess less than 5k miles left on them. Has after market cool air intake. Recent services include oil change, replacement of the mechtronic sleeve, new transmission fluid, and a new coolant reserve tank...all services performed by the local BMW dealership. If you would like any additional pictures please, just ask. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs, but I would be happy to help with any arrangements. There is no reserve on this car so you could end up with a steal compared to what else is listed on ebay.

Forza Motorsport profiles courageous paralyzed racer
Fri, 08 Aug 2014It's easy to look at racing video games as just a time waster or a hobby. In reality, though, they're often powerful tools for aspiring racers to learn tracks, race craft and how to set up a car in an easily accessible, risk-free environment. We aren't just talking about proper computer-based sims, like iRacing. Console-based racers like Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo provide a test bed for racers of all sorts.
For Mario Bonfante, Jr., a former motorcycle racer that was involved in a brutal accident that left him in a wheelchair with only limited use of his arms, Forza is a bit more. It allows him to perfect the setup of his personal racecar, a heavily modified E46 BMW M3, complete with hand controls.
Check out Mario's inspiring story.
BMW sets Guinness record for longest drift with new M5 [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013In September of 2011, Chinese drifter Wang Qi broke the Guinness record for the world's longest sustained drift, doing 13 laps inside the Olympic Center Stadium in Tianlin, China for 5,802.3 meters. That was broken in February of this year by Abdo Feghali in Abu Dhabi drifting a new Chevrolet Camaro around a skidpad for 11,180 meters - almost seven miles. In March, BMW decided it wanted the record "back in the US," and set up a course at its BMW Performance Driving School near Greenville, South Carolina to get the job done. On May, 11 it was Mission Accomplished when Performance Center driver Johan Schwartz drifted an M5 around a skidpad continuously for 51.3 miles.
Despite that accomplishment, we're pretty sure that professional drifter Vaughn Gittin, Jr. isn't impressed. The way Guinness defines "drifting" can also describe a donut, which is effectively the kind of drifting that's been done for these last three records. BMW went even further by watering down the surface of the track, reducing the skill required and the need to change tires during the effort. On the other hand, you can't drift a car for long in a straight line, but perhaps there should be some clarification or classifications added to the milestones.
There's a short video below taken during the record-breaking run, and a press release from the company that did it.
BMW revises X1 to tide it over until replacement
Tue, 17 Dec 2013It's been over five years since BMW first introduced the X1 at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, and a bit over a year since it brought the compact crossover to these shores. Soon the Bavarian automaker will replace the X1 with a new model based on the company's new front-drive architecture, but not before it gives it a few updates to keep it fresh.
Set to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show next month alongside the Z4 Pure Fusion Design and the new M3 sedan and M4 coupe, the enhanced X1 benefits from some new exterior accents, a spruced-up interior and new technology packed inside.
New air intakes in the bumper and integrated daytime driving lights distinguish the front end, with new wheel and color options available. Inside, certain versions get a new dashboard treatment, among other minor trim updates, and BMW has installed its latest ConnectedDrive suite to keep it up with the times. Scroll down for the full details.
