One of the best color combinations I've seen on the E39.  I purchased in 2009, and have maintained since.

In October changed the front pads and rotors.  The front sensor wire was spliced by my friend. Rear pads and rotors changed in fall 2012.  I recently changed the fan clutch and changed out the plastic for an aluminum pulley from  DDS Tuning.  Both Electric Fan resistors were changed last year.  The radiatior and water pump were changed in 2011 (i think). front and rear wheel bearings were changed in 2009.  Front Struts done in 2011/ or early 2012.  I changed out all the transmission sensors because I got a 1st to 2nd gear code last year. ( I only needed to change 1)  These cars are notorious for oil leaks, I just keep and eye and add aas needed. My Hood cable snapped, and had to break the grills to access the hood latches.  They are glued in place ... If you want to change out  (40 or 50 bucks on ebay) Wiper Relay (20 bucks ebay)  Wiper Pump (20 bucks ebay).  The climate control lights up but no blowing air (FSU, or Fuse)  if I have time, I'll look at it this weekend.  The rear tires may have another season. worn enough to make that whinig sound. (google it). All 4 match.

I usually keep up with all maintainence and detail my car in/out.  With the weather being so bad, I have neglected her.  I was planning on re-dying the seats and full exterior detail, but  it's time to move on.....my heart is set on an E60!   If the auction price gets up there in price, I will fix the cosmetic issues   The chrome trim around the belt line and windows was covered with Plasti-dip and could easily come off. There is a clear coat issue on the roof and some on the front bumper.    I was ready to order the leather dye, but i'm holding off.   

Someone in a Cargo Van backed up into a parking spot and left a "golf sized"  dent right over the kidney grill.  It was reported to insurance and had the hood and right fender sprayed.  within 4 months, something fell from the above elevated train and caused damage on that freshly painted hood.  This time I left it.  See pics  It was on the carfax, not sure if it dropped off.

People find it hard to beleive that this car in 16 years old. Once detailed, she outshines some '13's and '14s on the block and parking garages.

Like I said, I have my eye out for an E60.  I'm in no rush to sell.   I would like for someone who has a passion for BMW's to purchase her.  Know what you're getting yourself into.

I have other photos if interested.

Thanks for looking.

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe is ready for your favorite roads

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

We've known about the ins and outs of the lovely BMW M6 Gran Coupe for a while now, but that doesn't mean we weren't happy to see the thing in the metal for the first time, here in Detroit.
The M-tuned Gran Coupe utilizes the same 4.4-liter forced-induction V8 that powers both the BMW M6 and the M5, with an output of 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. The fast four-door brings up 60 miles per hour in just 4.1-seconds - the same sprint time as the M6 coupe and a few tenths quicker than the M5 - and up to a limited top speed of 155 mph.
We love those performance figures - this is one new Bimmer that we're amped to get some seat time in - though we're not super crazy about the selection of chrome wheels on this particular show car. Tells us what you think about the hotted up Gran Coupe in comments, below.

First Ride: 2015 BMW M3 and M4

Getting Our Butts In The Seats
Both the non-M BMW 3 Series sedan and 4 Series coupe have so far brought much pleasure to us at Autoblog. The terrific four-cylinder 328i trim has become our favorite of the 3 Series line, while we have yet to get a chance at the 428i coupe. That said, the 35i trim powered by a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine is not exactly to be sniffed at.
We all know the ones you're really waiting for, though. The F80 fifth-generation M3 sedan and the supremely sexy F82 M4 coupe. Rumors have been buzzing for a couple of years now that the engine would be another V8, only turbocharged this time, or else a tri-turbo six. Well, today BMW confirmed that the mill under the hood's power bulge is a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo of the biturbo variety, referred to internally as "S55B30 variant."

The 2016 BMW M2 is a steroid-addled M235i [UPDATE]

Wed, Oct 14 2015

UPDATE: As it turns out, BMW mixed up the weight specs in the official press materials. We spoke to BMW for confirmation, and the manual M2 weighs 3,450 pounds, the DCT car weighs 3,505. We've updated the text to reflect this. If you're looking for a featherweight M235i, you'll be disappointed. The extra power and goodies are offset by negligible weight savings. When we first got behind the wheel of the M235i early last year, BMW was quick to point out the spiritual link between the small quasi-M car and its ancestors, the 2002 Turbo and the E30 M3, but we couldn't help but think fondly of the more potent 1M Coupe. And while the M235i got a lot of things right, its weight and price took some of the shine off it. But more importantly, the intangibles that those older BMWs nailed was somewhat lacking in the M235i – while fun, it was somewhat distant, unlike the visceral 1M. Until we drive the 2016 BMW M2, those intangibles will remain intangible. But on paper, the M2 looks to be a super-M235i, buffed up with M goodies like an active rear differential and lightened suspension components. But if you're looking for a featherweight M235i, you'll be disappointed. The extra power and goodies are offset by negligible weight savings. With the manual it weighs 3,450 pounds, an 85-pound reduction. With the DCT, it's a wash at 3,505 pounds. At least the M2 looks like a proper M car. The side bodywork swells 2.1 inches up front and 3.1 inches in the rear to accommodate wide 19-inch forged wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The front end takes the M235i theme (itself an adrenaline-injected version of lesser 2 Series cars) and adds steroidal menace, with the expected larger intakes to feed the extra engine radiator. Out back, there's a diffuser in the rear tray that the M235i lacks, and the scallops that incorporate the taillights plainly telegraph the extra rear width. It's the M4's handsome younger sibling. Like the M235i to which its clearly related, the heart of the M2 is a 3.0-liter inline-six that inhales through a TwinScroll exhaust manifold-integrated turbocharger. High-precision direct injection, Double-VANOS, and Valvetronic are all present and accounted for, with some M goodies like pistons and crank bearings trickling down from the M3 and M4. The result is 365 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 343 pound-feet of torque available from as low as 1,400 rpm.
