Ok everyone, I will try to be thorough here so you know exactly what I have as its time to let my baby go to a new home. I have the NICEST, CLEANEST and most UPDATED X5 you will find anywhere in LA. Always garaged, under FULL BMW WARRANTY until 8/2015. It just turned over 50k miles. Also... I'm not a crazy CL scammer.. Just a BMW nerd and obsessive about this car. Feel free to call/text/email about it, my name is Chris 213.804.6730
Will list options later but first.....
UPGRADES: (All professionally done, with the best parts)
Ok, here is where this truck exceeds anything else out there...
-Front turn signals changed to Amber LED. This eliminates the "egg yolk" effect so you have no orange in the lights except when the turn signal is on. Also the LED makes it look super modern as its instant on and instant off.
-Angel Eyes have been upgraded from the halogen (yellow-ish color light) to full LED. So the front lights look like the 2012-2013 X5.
-BMW Aero kit. This includes the front and rear bumper spoilers that make the car look (tastefully) upgraded. Also makes the rear bumper look more like the 2013 version.
-2013 taillights. Yes, the Tail light assembly has also been upgraded with BMW Factory lights for the 2013 model.
-FULL LED interior package. EVERY bulb inside has been changed to match the head lights and courtesy lights mounted under the door handles. No more yellow interior lights, this is all super white.
-LED fog lamps. I had the fog lamps upgraded to the blue/white to match the headlights.
-Orange reflector delete / euro reflector swap. The front of the X5 has orange corner reflectors that I had swapped out with smoked ones. They are very high quality and look amazing.
-Euro TECH/Option Package. This is the icing on the cake. There are a list of features available to European buyers that we do not get in the US. I have all of these installed for you. These include:
-----Roll up/down windows, open/close sunroof from key fob
-----Fold side mirrors in/out from key fob... this looks particularly impressive when you jump out of the car and all the windows close and mirrors fold in as you walk away....
-----CLOSE rear power lift-gate from key fob and from button INSIDE car (US option is only OPEN from key and inside cabin... you have to press a button on the lift-gate itself to close it.)
-----No "accept" on the navigation every time you get in the car. (you're welcome)
-----Orange turn signals do not illuminate full time when lights are on. (signals blink, but then are not on permanently with lights.. so front is all LED/HID hyper white... no orange)
-----Hazard lights are a double flash then pause, double flash. Not a huge feature but its kind of cool.
-BMW Factory ipod/iphone cable already purchased and included ($80)
-BMW Factory Roof rack $300
-BMW Factory windshield shade $60
-BMW Factory floor mats $175
Maintenance:
Tires were new June 2012 (although I had to replace a rear one 2 months ago do to a fatal puncture, so 3 are a year old and one is brand new), Front brakes done last month with Japanese dustless pads (amazing pads... keeps your rims clean!!) Tie rod ends also done at the same time. Oil change at dealer 2 weeks ago, new air suspension, alternator and some engine seal (Yay warranty!!). Currently needs nothing for 10K miles. Oh, new top of the line AGM battery as well with a 3 year warranty.
Vehicle:
Honestly it's easier to list the features it doesn't have because its LOADED with every option available EXCEPT, 3rd row seats, rear DVD and air cooled seats. Seriously this thing has things on it that I am still discovering. But it for sure has all of the impressive ones, like push start (key just has to be in your pocket), touch the door handle and it unlocks/locks, HID headlights that move when you turn, DUAL subwoofers, iPod integration, speak commands for navi, phone, radio, power lift-gate, heated seats, 20" wheels, ugh... this thing is amazing.

BMW wants to expand DriveNow carsharing program to 25 new cities
Wed, Mar 12 2014Daimler's Car2go car-sharing service just announced that it will debut in Rome, its 26th global city. Now, BMW says it wants to expand its own carsharing program to, wait for it, 25 more cities. Coincidence? We think not. BMW is looking to bring its DriveNow carsharing program, with its Mini Coopers and 1 Series, to as many as 15 new cities in Europe as well as 10 in the US, Bloomberg News says, citing comments BMW executive Peter Schwarzenbauer made at the Geneva Motor Show last week. The service is now operational in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich, Dusseldorf and San Francisco and serves about a quarter-million people. Of course, it's that last city, where DriveNow started operations in August 2012, that's been somewhat problematic. San Francisco has tough guidelines when it comes to where the cars can be parked, with so few public parking areas to choose from. DriveNow charges $39 for membership in San Francisco, then $12 for the first half hour of driving and 32 cents for each additional minute. DriveNow competes directly against Car2go, which charges around $25 to become a member and then 41 cents a minute to rent a Smart ForTwo.
BMW plugs in new X5 xDrive40e PHEV crossover
Mon, Mar 16 2015BMW broke with its own convention when it rolled out the original X5 back in 1999, and did it again when it launched the i3 and i8 plug-in hybrids in 2013. Now it's bringing the two together with the reveal of the new X5 xDrive40e. Based on the third-generation F15 model and previewed by the X5 eDrive concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the X5 xDrive40e is the first PHEV from the core BMW brand. Its hybrid powertrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo four (itself good for 245 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque) to an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed automatic transmission (contributing another 113 hp and 184 lb-ft) for a total combined output of 313 hp and 332 lb-ft. That makes it more powerful by both counts than the six-cylinder X5 xDrive35i (though considerably less so than the V8-powered xDrive50i), giving it a quoted 0-62 time of 6.8 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 130 mph. But it can travel up to 19 miles on electric power alone, at which top speed is limited to 75 mph. BMW has mounted the 9-kWh lithium-ion battery pack underneath the luggage floor, limiting cargo capacity to between 17.65 and 60.7 cubic feet, depending on how you set up the rear seats. An adaptive suspension keeps it all on an even keel, with power transmitted to all four wheels through a permanent all-wheel-drive system. An M model it is not, but the Bavarian automaker will offer it with an M Sport package. Full details on pricing and availability have yet to be announced, but the X5 xDrive40e is set to hit European dealers in the fall. The BMW X5 xDrive40e The first plug-in hybrid production car from the BMW core brand is a Sports Activity Vehicle. Permanent all-wheel drive and the BMW EfficientDynamics eDrive technology endow the BMW X5 xDrive40e with sensational sportiness and supreme poise on the one hand and outstanding efficiency on the other. With a total system output of 230 kW/313 hp generated by a four-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and a synchronous electric motor, the BMW X5 xDrive40e achieves a combined fuel consumption of 3.4 – 3.3 litres per 100 kilometres (83.1 – 85.6 mpg imp) and a combined electricity consumption of 15.4 – 15.3 kWh over the same distance. CO2 emissions come in at 78 – 77 grams per kilometre (figures according to EU test cycle for plug-in hybrid vehicles, may vary depending on the tyre format specified).
134K BMW 5 Series recalled for taillight issue
Fri, 20 Sep 2013BMW is voluntarily recalling 134,100 cars due to a faulty ground terminal in the taillight bulb carriers, causing the sudden failure of brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights. The recall covers 2008 through 2010 5 Series models produced between March 1, 2007 and December 31, 2009, and includes everything from the 528i to the mighty, V10-powered M5. It's unclear if this recall is limited to sedans or extends to the 5-Series Touring.
There have been no reported cases of injuries, fatalities or crashes associated with the taillight issue. BMW will be issuing recall notices to affected owners in the coming weeks, asking them to report to dealers so that the bulb carriers on the taillights can be replaced. All repairs are, naturally, free of charge. Scroll down for the official recall notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
