If you are looking
for a minivan, you have come to the wrong page. This is no
ordinary car. This is the
car “the little old lady from Pasadena” would have loved to own. The
“Ultimate Granny Wagon” a BMW 540I Sportwagon (or “Touring”) in Europe.. A 2003
model, the last year of this series known as E39, and the best year. BMW stopped
building station wagons for the next two years as there was little demand for this type of car outside of
Europe. The North
American consumer equated the term “station wagon” with “mini van”, something
for the wife to take the kids to school, and could not understand why anyone
would want to own a superb high performance car like the BMW 540I, with
anything other than the conventional sedan shape and styling. Especially with a
price tag of over $ 60,000 ! Only about
500 cars made it to the US and a few to
Canada, this being one of them. If you are
interested in owning a very special and unique BMW, read on to find out more
about this car, in particular. You probably
know that it powered by a 4.4 litre V8
with 292 HP, enough for comfortable cruising and enough acceleration to
put most Sports cars to shame. The handling is superb and the comfort amazing. Fully
equipped with leather interior, memory seats, heated, with lumbar support, that
lets you drive 800 highway kms in 8 hours and step out feeling fresh. The winter
package has the ski bag pass-thru and heated steering wheel to get you there on
a cold day. Sun/moon
roof, steptronic 5 speed automatic transmission that is shiftable, window
curtains for the back windows, etc. This is a
two owner car and has been in our family for the past 9 years. Imported from
the US, properly documented and registered. Maintained
at the highest level at a BMW dealer, with all service records available. Mileage
just under 96000 miles (152921 km). Owned by Non-smokers. Colour is
Black Safire Metallic outside and tan coloured leather interior. Keys, books,
extra floor mats are all there, as well. Cosmetically,
it has a couple of flaws, as per the pictures. The hood has a small dent from a
flying rubber cone flipped up on the highway, the sides have a couple of dings
from runaway shopping trolleys, (or people who hate Bimmers), and a couple of scratches , a “kiss’” from a
parking garage post. Only reason
for selling is that the grandchildren are getting bigger, and we need an all-wheel drive
vehicle for the upcoming winter. The car has
spent most winters garaged, however it gets tru the snow quite well with snow
tires. We do have a set, mounted on very smart looking
rims, that we will include with the sale, if the buyer wants them.

Watch the BMW i8 get wrung out on the Ring
Thu, 24 Apr 2014Been wondering where the heck the reviews of the all-new, plug-in-hybrid BMW i8 have been? After all, the car isn't exactly new, having debuted in concept form way back in September of 2009. In August of last year, we even tested a prototype of the new supercar. Despite that, though, we still haven't gotten a crack at the actual vehicle that will be sold to the public.
Well, we're happy to tell you that we're currently testing the i8 and will have a proper review for you soon. If, however, you're just aching for some coverage of the low-slung plug-in, we have a short video of it in action around Germany's famed Nürburgring.
Despite it's three-cylinder, turbocharged gas engine, the i8 sounds pretty angry as it laps the Ring. That is, until it has a little bit of a breakdown. According to the guys that caught the car on video, it appeared the i8 had a minor brake issue, and was parked on the side of the track for a good 15 minutes, with the driver pumping the brakes. We should probably just take this as proof, then, that manufacturers are actually using the Ring for testing, and not just messing about.
2013 BMW M6 Coupe
Wed, 12 Jun 2013The Act And The Exclamation
The 2013 BMW M6 is a rolling obscenity - one that begins with the capital letter "F." It is both the act and the exclamation, the curse and the encouragement. It courts no logic. It is all want and no need, and it is unbecoming of the BMW roundel. Whereas the brand's products once strove to unite man and machine in a duet of blissful performance, the M6 seems built solely to stand between the driver and the road. You are very clearly in its way every second you're behind the wheel, slowing it down and generally being the Monday morning to its two-day trance festival. It's clear this car is very fast, but it has no interest in making you fast in the way that the M3 or even the M5 are wont to do.
But somehow, all that doesn't stop the car from stoking every last lick of lust in your gut. A 560-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 will do that for you.
2015 BMW M4 gets initiated into the club
Fri, 22 Aug 2014It's easy for enthusiasts and traditionalists to give BMW a hard time these days, what with its plans to add more front-wheel drive models and seeming move away from more emotionally connected cars. However, the push for perfection that underscored its old Ultimate Driving Machine motto is still in there, especially in its M models. In fact, the first M4 recently made it to US shores, and the company thought the only appropriate way to celebrate was to introduce its new coupe to some of its high-performance forefathers.
The M4's initiation into the M car brotherhood involved bringing together no fewer than 52 classic and newer models - including four racecars and many privately owned vehicles - to an empty parking lot and letting the coupe drift and slalom around them to say hello. According to BMW, there was a combined 11,566 horsepower on hand. It takes a pretty trusting owner to stand back and watch as a brand-new vehicle slides its tail out with the rear wheels smoking within feet of their pride and joy. Stay tuned until the end where the owners and their cars get a shout out in the credits. Scroll down to read BMW's press release about it.
