Hi, eBayers! Up for sale is my 2003 BMW 540i M Sport, with a desirable 6-speed transmission, black on black color scheme, and a clean-as-a-whistle history. I'm moving to a colder climate, which is the primary reason I'm selling this car. Affectionately called the "Baby M5" by some, here's a great chance to get into a well-maintained vehicle with those classic BMW E39 body lines. Make no mistake: there's plenty of room to go fast, too!
Take a look at the pictures, ask me any and all questions, and please note highlights and issues below. I'm a car guy and open, honest transactions are a must for me.
Here's a great rundown: http://www.kenrockwell.com/bmw/540.htm
Pictures galore: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ytm1vanj35y3tye/y__Njf4Iay
- most notable: the check engine light is on, reporting a failing oxygen sensor which I've replaced. In no way is the car's performance affected, but buyer beware: if you live in a county/state with emissions tests, this car will not pass and you will be unable to register the vehicle! Currently, this car doesn't have valid registration, but most states typically give an in-transit grace period as long as you keep the title and bill of sale on hand.
Highlights:
- extensive service history at reputable, independent shop
- I'm the second "real" owner, though the history may show three
- head gaskets and cooling system work, typical big repairs (>$2500) for this motor, are already done
- recently-installed OEM front brakes and all four tires
- runs like a bat out of hell, averages 22 miles per gallon with mostly highway driving at 85 miles per hour
- DSP audio system sounds awesome and with aftermarket parts, can integrate with the iPhone
- no dead pixels on the instrument cluster and climate control, about 50% dead on the radio
- desirable color, transmission, body style and kit combination
Known issues:
- missing rear door brake on the driver side (that holds the door open), which is a $15 part and a couple hour repair
- the passenger xenon headlamp just burnt out
- both front seats twist (this is a common and relatively easy repair), Google "bmw e39 seat twist" and check these links:
My mechanic thinks this may be a failing catalytic converter but, absent any spare parts to swap and test, there really is no way to fully diagnose without installing a new part. This doesn't make personal sense because, as mentioned, I'm moving. If you're in a non-emission county/state and a check engine light doesn't bother you, you can get yourself a heckuva car! Again, ask me questions: I don't want to scare you away but must be up-front and honest.
Transaction details:
- full payment required on or before pickup
- payment methods accepted: cash, wire transfer, cashier's check/personal check (all checks must clear before you get the keys and the title)
- this car is for sale in other channels, and I reserve the right to end the listing at any time

Toyota passes BMW as most valuable car brand
Tue, 21 May 2013An annual market study of the strongest brands across various industries has seen Toyota leapfrog BMW as the world's most valuable automotive brand. Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category. Volkswagen was the only other auto brand that finished in the top 100 overall, in 100th place. Audi made the greatest percentage gain over 2012, up 18 percent to $5.5 billion, but finished outside of the top 100.
Technology companies dominated the overall list, with Apple, Google and IBM ranking one through three. Couture brand Prada was 2013's biggest gainer, rising by 63 percent over 2012.
Jeremy Clarkson chooses his top 10 cars for 2015 and 2016
Mon, Aug 15 2016Jeremy Clarkson is well-known for his role as co-host on the old Top Gear. But the frontman of the upcoming Amazon Prime Show, The Grand Tour, also has a standing column for The Sunday Times in the UK where he reviews the latest cars. With fall nearing, Clarkson put out a list of his top-10 cars from this year and 2015. Some on the list will surprise you, while others represent everything we've come to love about Clarkson. In order to make his list of star cars, the vehicles must offer what co-host James May calls "the fizz." The vehicles, Clarkson claims, have something that is out of the ordinary. Whether it's the car's looks, the way it gets up to speed, or its high-tech gadgets, Clarkson's top-10 list is made up of items that are more than just tools for getting from point A to B. So which ones made the list? Head over to the column in The Sunday Times.

World Car Awards finalists snub American-branded vehicles — except for Bronco
Fri, Feb 2 2024The list of World Car Awards has been whittled down to 10 finalists, but only one American brand — Ford — appears among the remaining nine carmakers for this yearÂ’s top award. The Bronco is there, and it also is balloted as a finalist in the design category. The other categories are performance car, urban car, electric vehicle and luxury model. Each category has five finalists except World Car, which has 10. One brand conspicuous by its absence in any category: Tesla. The winner in each is scheduled to be crowned March 27 at the New York International Auto Show in Manhattan. This year marks the 20th year of the World Car Awards and the partnership with the New York show. The selection process involves 100-plus automotive journalists from 29 countries who vote, as they review and test-drive the eligible vehicles for the 2024 awards. Their journey is captured virtually on World Car TV. If youÂ’re counting, the brands that appear most on the six finals lists are Mercedes-Benz (four times), BMW (also four), Hyundai (three), and Volvo (three). HereÂ’s the full listing. A video clip showing all of them is here: World Car -BYD Seal / Atto 4 -Ford Bronco -Hyundai Kona / Kona Electric -Hyundai Santa Fe -Kia EV9 -Mazda CX-90 -Subaru Crosstrek -Toyota Prius -Volkswagen ID.7 -Volvo EX30 World Car Design of the Year Ford Bronco Ferrari Purosangue Toyota Prius Volvo EX30 Zeekr X 2024 World Electric Vehicle BMW i5 Kia EV9 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV Volkswagen ID.7 Volvo EX30 2024 World Luxury Car - BMW 5 Series / i5 - Lexus LM - Mercedes-Benz CLE - Mercedes-Benz E-Class - Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV 2024 World Urban Car - Abarth 500e - BYD Dolphin - Lexus LBX - Suzuki Fronx - Volvo EX30 2024 World Performance Car - BMW M2 - BMW XM - Ferrari Purosangue - Hyundai Ioniq 5 N - Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid
